Episode 94 of the podcast takes us back to 1993 when Houston Nutt became head coach of the Murray State football program. Never lacking enthusiasm, Coach Nutt preached a plan to rebuild the Racers into winners. If the fans didn't believe it at the start, they certainly did in year three when the Racers were undefeated in winning the OVC championship as they climbed into the top-10 nationally. The Racers followed it up in 1996 with another undefeated OVC title and MSU's first playoff victory. Nutt's legacy led him to being inducted into the MSU Hall of Fame in 2018 as the author of one of the greatest periods in Racer Football history.
