Speaking as a Sooner fan, that Husker team could destroy today’s teams. There were no weakness in that team. Just pure power, strength, endurance, discipline, and dang good solid coaching. You won’t hear of any OU fan disrespect Coach Osborne or the Huskers.
In the first 16 games that head-coach Tom Osboring played Switzer, Osboring only won FOUR, YES, FOUR, of those games. But with his 3 national titles, Osborne is one of the best coaches of his generation, and one of the very most respected, as well. Switzer, on the other hand, got FIRED for questionable football ethics - keep that in mind.
Thank you for that. Yes I remember those days when we loved to hate Oklahoma, and that darn Switzer could always figure out a way to win! In 1978, it felt so good to finally beat the Sooners! In reality, it's like others have said there was always a mutual respect. The rivalry was fun, and the smack was only for fun. Now days the animosity towards the opposing team is real. Not good.
@@elcuco1414neither did any of the Gators, except for Taylor. Hilliard, Green or Anthony never had a 1,000 yard receiving season. Weurfel had a noodle arm.
@@elcuco1414Sir Miami had more NFL talent than Ohio State. Why did they lose? Because they weren't the best team. This is greatest college team ever. No sacks the whole season
@@elcuco1414Oh, really? Nebraska never once trailed in the second half of a game, and only trailed in this game for the first 32 seconds of the second quarter, which was the latest they trailed in a game all year. And they only trailed Washington St for about two minutes in the first quarter before rattling off 35 straight points, and only trailed Florida for 4:46 total this game, and those were the only two times they trailed in a game all year. Think about that. Pure dominance. Miami trailed in the fourth quarter twice in 2001, and were lucky to win both games. Nebraska outscored their opponents by 39 points a game in 1995, and they outscored the four top 10 teams they played by a combined total of 196-73, with the average score being 49-18.5, and only one of those games was at home (two on the road and the Fiesta Bowl at a neutral site). And half of those 73 points given up to those top 10 teams were given up in garbage time. They are still the standard-bearers for college football greatness over one season. Miami did have a lot of great NFL talent on that 2001 team, though, but the results are the results.
"The offensive line gave up zero sacks on Frazier that season." That stat is misleading. Frasier avged 15 passes per game. Less than 4 times a qtr was his line having to protect him for a pass attempt. Wuerffel avged 30 attempts.
Tommie Frazier.....what a stud. Man was he fun to watch play. I remember watching this game and that second quarter may have been the best quarter in Nebraska football history. What a team!
No, no, no. 8 atrocious (5 with 8 losses, 3 with 5 losses) teams all contained him, but FL allowed him to set 3 personal bests. 1) Longest run of the season (31) 2) Longest run of this career (75) 3) Best game. That will happen when 1 team forgets to get off the plane. FL set an NCAA record for attempted arm tackles.
Tommie Frazier is the best QB in college history... he may not be the fastest, but I personally can't think of a QB better at running the option. 95 Neb is king of all college ball
@MyUserTubeAccount Keep looking in the Neb95 threads where you find my LSU2019 vs Neb95 comparison (not to each other, to their year). LSU2019 flat out owned that comparison (across about 25 metrics). Some are fun. * Which team beat the last 2 coaches that owned the last 4 NCs? * Which team beat the coach considered the greatest of all time? * Which team had the current Heisman? * Which team beat the last Heisman? It goes on and on. Neb95 was a joke.
All about conditioning and guts for Cornhuskers...this was my junior year of high school and I worked at all home games for the Athletic Department. Our Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores this year were Very disciplined and hungry. Very tough rivalry and the Defense had to be great to keep our offense out on the field. Offense had to practice a lot to get maximum game time. These men were coached by a genius Tom Osborne and gave their all at practice and on the field. It takes grit and a consistent vision to yield amazing results. The one off plays a good, but it's the entire team that makes a standout year happen like the 1996 Cornhuskers! Born Nebraska and Always bleeding Red for NU for Life! Respect to other fans and teams, but massive props to the Good Life here..."That's Why we all love Nebraska..."
I absolutely love college football and watched for decades. I have NEVER seen a better team than 1995 Nebraska. Their entire decade of dominance was a marvel to observe. Tom Osborne is truly to be considered among the greatest coaches of all time in any sport. Bear Bryant, John Wooden, Tom Osborne.... What a team 1995 Nebraska!
@don wilson yeah Nebraska didn't have any gangster on these teams and Phillips wasn't the only troublemaker. That's what made your team's competitive against the Miami's,Florida sts and Florida's. Osborne just was good at hiding most of it
Day 1 of 95, Neb's season looked like this. 5 - 1st yr coaches 4 - coaches with losing record 2 - coaches with a winning record by 7 games. That sack thingy doesn't look so impressive now, huh?
Man I had just graduated high school, living in Florida, I am from Nebraska. For weeks I had to endure how Florida was going to score all over my Huskers. I kept saying we will see. Well we did see! My boys dominated the Gators! GBR!!!!!! HUSKER POWER!!!!
For those who mention Phillips and Osborne, they probably don’t realize Osborne never gave up on him. Even while in jail, Osborne wrote him and visited him there, right up until the end. Most coaches would just abandon players after they were used up.
Of course, you clown. People tried to tell the horsesh*t saleman, "you can't reach Phillips on a football field." He needed to continue the guise of pretending to care about Phillips to protect what he started in 95 and hopefully shape what would be written about him. Paterno approves this post.
hardly. Osborne knew he had the mostly deadly weapon in college football with Phillips. granted he did stick with him, but winning is what is all about. Osborne was a class act.

I was a 10 yr. Old kid in 1970, in Lincoln. Nebraska football was everything to everyone. Every neighborhood had a team. It was like the movie "Sandlot," but it was football. We lived on Star St. And we were good. It wasn't just school that educated us. It was the companionship and the desire to truly beat the competition. Beautiful life lessons are learned within sports and the will to win will last. So will the memories of your friends you shared it with. I remember the times 55 yrs. Ago. Like it was yesterday. In my mind it still is.
...I certainly agree with that. Being a Nebraska raised kid and watching these Husker teams and studying their whole scheme and rewatching these games..if you a student of the game..I advise you you to do a deep research Into the 1994 line. IMO, through observation, the 1994 line was the huskers most dominant line that was.. so unique, that the offensive line were the the team leaders in locker room and on field..the team followed these dynamic and most dominant personalities in that line. They were fierce, mean, relentless and interestingly very effective considering their youth to understand the nuances of the human mind and how to wreak havoc in the minds of the opponents..they did this by deliberate techniques.. Zach weigert was notorious for this. My cousin knows him alittle..they went to HS together. Weigert was a feared man by opponents and also feared in a sense by teammates...anyways..you are giving yourself good times for looking into the 94 line..
They gave up ZERO sacks, Husker backs averaged 7.0 yards per carry, and they were never penalized for holding during the entire 1995 season. Yes, they were a GREAT offensive line.
Once again for@@robjohnson8861 " the best offensive line play I've ever seen to this day." Meaning whomever , wherever and whenever they played . They mauled people. 1971? really? hahaha
Dennis Parker Vegas doesn’t declare a team that people think is going to lose. They were favored in Vegas and most people I ran into thought they’d win.
@@willhopson1277 listen and most people I ran into thought they could lose and I've been a Nebraska fan since Frazier started there. Bottom line like Jeff said people thought they'd lose with Florida throwing the ball the way they did. That's what it is
@@robjohnson8861 I mean respond to all the insults I’m throwing at you. People may see what I post and think that I’m the jerk but anyone who attention to these videos knows what im taking about
@@robjohnson8861 what I’m saying is that I wish someone had talked shit with you before. People tried ti argue with you and be clever with you but it doesn’t work. I am trying to be clever. Let me make myself clear: I don’t like you: you’re a pussy; I’d be very happy hurting you
The option is very difficult to stop because it requires discipline to defend. The defense you must use regardless of your front, 4-3, 3-4, 5-2 etc. Is a defense of position. You cannot over pursue and you cannot hit to make a tackle. You have to wrap. Florida was used to hitting and they paid the price. They over pursued badly and that made the trap plays, option plays that much more effective. Lastly, the flex 4-3 that Spurrier employed is one of the worst defenses to use against any option team and especially an I option team. This is the anatomy of a beat down. Once I played for a former Spurrier assistant and he used this type of defense and the fun n gun.
Florida was good that year but this Nebraska team may be the best college football team of all time. Miami has argued about their 2001 team but they had a couple of close call against lesser teams but nobody even came close to Nebraska who played a stiffer schedule than the 2001 Miami team.
divineflop that 2001 miami team wasnt even close to how good nebraska was in 94 95 if you remember that 2001 miami the same team played ohio state the next year and lost the title!!!
My wife, girlfriend at the time was at that game, that's the last HUSKER game I'v been to, what an awsome experience, we paid 100.00 each for our tickets, I seriously believe that was the greatest college football team to have ever taken the field, we won our 5th national title two years later against Peyton Manning and Tennessee Volunteers.
@don wilson I hear you. But let's face it. Many football players are thugs and shouldn't even be in school. LP is one of them. I don't think Osborne or any other coach for a big time program is doing anything other than trying to win. Would Phillips have gotten the same treatment if he were a walk on? Hell no. His ass would have been kicked out of school. Frankly, no player deserves special treatment and should not be given any. They need to turn themselves around just like any other student. They are not children and are responsible for their own actions just like any other student. No other student would have a team of assistants helping them in school and with personal problems. That's my opinion.
don wilson I hear you but don’t agree. Put it to the test. Like I said, if LP was a walk-in he would have been kicked out of school. No coach ever thinks he has enough great players, even if he actually does. That’s not their mentality. Lastly, the university of Nebraska is an academic institution not the Nebraska state social services department. No other student would get this special treatment if they were not a stud football player. They would just tell you to sort it out on your own.
don wilson You are kind of all over the place. With the admissions scandal it appears that the offenders are going to jail for 20 years and the kids obviously won’t be admitted. I’m not sure what your point is. LP remained on the team for what he did, which was horrible. And he would not have remained on the team if he was a scrub. Don’t kid yourself and don’t be a fool. Get real. This is real simple.
@@ZFKATNBADGER40 lol, other could argue that two games later ASU was even more brutal where they kept Neb from scoring. Always a matter of perspective.
Check out where FL wound up in the next poll. Ha, still #2. But fast forward 2 games after #1 Neb scored 0 against ASU. Neb fell to #8. The pollsters saw that as more of an epic flop.
@@robjohnson8861 understand that the team that lost to ASU is a different team. It happened in the 96 season. No one is saying the 96 Corn huskers are the best ever, we're saying the 95 Corn huskers are.
@@shamrockshake1264 Idiot. The point is good teams NOT showing up. Neb 96 was ranked #1 having crushed MSU by 55 the week before they played ASU. But yet, they managed 0 when they played ASU. But under what the hell, Neb scored 65 the next week. LOL, Neb 95 fans have a problem because 10 unranked teams scored on ASU 96 by 42, 35, 34, 27, 14, 14, 9, 7, 7, 7. Neb took 3 safeties and looked horrible. You're lying through your teeth if you claim Neb showed up. And when you say they didn't, then FL can say the same damn thing about the game against Neb. 3 pt underdogs don't lose by 38 if they came to play.
@@Thomasstauss yeah, bec unlike Neb 01, who didnt have a clue against Miami, FL just forgot to get off the plane in Tempe. You know, like Neb forgot to show up 2 games after this one against ASU. If Neb fans can claim a no show in that game, then surely they would allow FL a no show in this one. Check out the unranked teams scores against ASU.
@@robjohnson8861 wrong. The 01 Nebraska team wasn't very good. They got crushed by Colorado, too. It is like when Nebraska crushed Alabama in 71 (72 orange bowl). They were just that good. In 95, nebraksa pounded EVERYONE. Practices were harder and more physical than actual games. The OL knew they were going to smash Florida. As I said to someone before that game, Florida might have speed, but Wuerffel can't throw off your back. If you're a good team, you show up in a NC, period.

Everyone said for years Osborne couldn't win the big one. Boy were they wrong! The last four years of his tenure, he built probably the greatest winning machine in modern CFB history!
james cagle I won’t argue that. 1995 Nebraska is the best team in college football history in my opinion. There were more talented teams, like 2001 Miami, but no team as dominant.

Not having a single sack all season, including the title game......against the number 2 team in the country is beyond ridiculous. Unfathomable. God's amongst boys.
lol, well they full assed the game against ASU two games after this, huh. #17 ASU 19, Neb 0. Just like FL didn't show up here, Neb didn't show up against ASU. That creates a problem for your reality, huh?
@Mike Bryant Follow along stupi.d. The topic is teams that don't show up. 96 Game 1: Neb wins by 55 Game 2: Neb shut out. Game3 : Neb wins by 65 Just like FL, Neb did not show up. Osborne just never stopped giving to the idea that he WAS NOT A GREAT COACH.
"Best Team Ever" USA Today, NFL.com, ESPN, Sporting News, College Football HOF, Washington Post, LA Times, World Herald, SEC Fan Page... the list goes on and on and on.
Would put this team up against the recent teams that won the national championship. especially if Alabama wins the title. Nebraska's closest game was 14 in a 35-21st win against Washington State. The schedule, #8 Kansas State, at #7 Colorado, at #10 Kansas(who didn't score a touchdown) and then #2 Florida. Sorry Miami fans, your 2001 team may of had NFL players but this team was on a mission and proved it in this game.
Tremayne Smith did you not watch this game? That is what they said all week before it. When I made my bet with a guy that talked about all the Florida speed, I said it doesnt matter when your qb can't throw of his back. All your defense speed won't matter when your OL is crushing the DL. Nick Saban called Lawrence Phillips the best running back he ever saw.
@@prism8289 *"Nick Saban called Lawrence Phillips the best running back he ever saw."* Ok. Let's get a little perspective ok. lol Saban had 11 games of experience in the MAC before playing Neb.
Phillips’ run there was really a mark of extreme excellence. There is an angle filmed from the end zone. He just broke a bunch of ankles and hardly got touched.
I remember this game. I loved Spurrier's response when he was asked about the safety earlier in the game: "Yeah, like those 2 points really made a difference.
In an ordinary season, the 95 Gators would have probably won the national title. They were a very good team, most of whom came back to win the title the next year. 1995 was not a normal year, however. In its final season, the Big 8 Conference was unbelievably OP, with 4 teams that probably would have gone undefeated on Florida's 1995 regular season schedule. Colorado, Kansas, and Kansas State all steamrolled everyone they played, except each other and Nebraska, which crushed them by margins of 23, 38 and 25 points, respectively. I was a 13-year-old Kansas State fan living in Lincoln at the time this game was played, and I remember all the "experts" predicting Florida would win, because Nebraska hadn't played a game on natural grass that year. I wasn't too worried, as Nebraska's team was so OP they could have beaten some NFL teams at the time.
Spurrier's payment of tuition in this game was money well spent, because it hardened him and his team in throttling Florida State 52-20 in a rematch game to win the National Championship one year later.
@@gynandroidhead *"Spurrier's payment of tuition in this game was money well spent, because it hardened him and his team in throttling Florida State 52-20 in a rematch game to win the National Championship one year later."* Rematch game because he didn't show up in the first game against FSU just like he didnt against Neb. How much did he not show up against FSU. Spurrier lost by 3, 33 days later he won by 32. That's 35 points of no show in the 1st game, you'd have to agree to, right gynandroidhead?
This is the third time I watched this game, including the original on ABC. I still think that Florida had faster players at the skill position. But Nebraska was very physical, and I don't think Florida was ready for that. When your line is knocking the other guy on his ass on every play, it doesn't matter how fast they are. Nebraska had a very physical football team, they were well coached, and came ready to play.
kt6550 Florida wasn’t ready up front and it showed big time in this game. In fact after this game as well Florida hard Bob stoops and started becoming pretty strong defensively
@@kathrynkirchhoff769 like he didn't dominate most of that game. Just wore down because the offense couldn't do anything and they had no depth to give him a rest. Florida's dline wish they had a player that played 10% as good as Sapp played. It's not like you guys dominated Miami or Sapp.
@@kathrynkirchhoff769 "Just ask Warren Sapp what he thinks of Nebraska." Nah, it would be much more fun to ask him how he felt when 1 year earlier AZ handed Sapp and Miami a 29-0 loss.
You see comment after comment about the offensive line play of Nebraska. It bears repeating. The most overpowering offensive line in the history of college football. This is why the 1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers are the greatest college football team of all time. Where are almost all games won? By superior play in the trenches. No team, not Alabama, Miami, or anyone else handed their opponents ass to them like Nebraska. Those other teams had a tremendous number of star players. They didn't have the the unparalleled power of this Juggernaut. Muscle and depth up front set them apart from everyone else. Look at this destruction of the speedy, flashy Gators. Getting sand and turf kicked in their faces by the power of the Nebraska machine. Argue until the Moon turns blue. There will never be a greater team than the 1995 Nebraska Huskers.
Hard to argue the 95 Huskers are the best team ever but the thing that"s almost as good as this win was watching Spurrier's face change from the first time to the last.
Well, no. The distance between Frazier and Wuerfful was closer in votes than the distance between George and Frazier. In other words, he was closer to being #3 than #1. Ha!. Nothing works for Neb95 when you drill down.
This Nebraska team was the best college team of all time the year before they finally go down to beat Miami this team was a year later same crew mad bad and dangerous
and the Neb players pounding their heads against their lockers after the *"NO SHOW"* against ASU 2 games later ASU 19, #1 Neb 0 that dropped them 8 places in the poll.
@@robjohnson8861 geez Rob can we just stick to the subject at hand.. let me tell ya sumpn' brotha'.. I was here in Orlando yeah. One of my watering holes that was a late night game of course Arizona time and I just couldn't believe what I was watching that damn snake. Jake The Snake who later in time became a Bronco which I was happy for until the 2005 AFC Championship game when they're like 5 turnovers so we kick Jake to the curb but he'll always have that shutout against the Huskers
I don't know if people realize how good the BIG 8 was that year. Oklahoma was down that year and OK State was still rebuilding... but Kansas, K-State and Colorado were all great teams that year. They were all 9-2... each lost to the Huskers and took turns beating each other. None lost a game out of conference or in bowls.
Colorado, K-State and KU would all have gone undefeated on Florida's schedule that year, except for the NC game against Nebraska, of course. KU was the only one of those three teams to lose as badly to the Huskers as Florida did.
*"Kansas, K-State and Colorado were all great teams that year. They were all 9-2... each lost to the Huskers and took turns beating each other. None lost a game out of conference or in bowls."* But get this. KS and KSU played Cinni back to back. Both scored 23 points, but (there's always a but with NEB 95) then Miami (OH) scored 23 KY scored 33 Toledo scored scored 45 Always drill down.
Kansas State played Temple, Cincinnati, Northern Illinois, Akron non conference and beat Colorado State in their bowl game. You can say they were a top 10 team winning 9 10 games against such pathetic competition but that's really generous. Could have been champions of the MAC...
I live in Florida and i watched this game in a bar in st pete. 98% Gaytor fans. I LOVED THIS GAME. i despise the florida teams. for those of you who don't know, Gaytor fans are the most OBNOXIOUS fans in the world. 1 fan started crying and wanted to fight with one of the few Nebraska fans in the bar.
Say what you will about Nebraska. They got ROBBED (terribly) 1993 against Florida State. This is technically their third in a row National Championship
Please present the video where FSU got robbed. There are 2 plays you are referring too. I'm guessing it is the 2nd one that chaps your ass the most. #1. The Floyd fumble after he crossed the line. Please show us indisputable evidence that he fumbled before he crossed the line. You can't. Let's get to #2 #2. The block in the back that negated Neb's touchdown. It took a minute bec Neb fans like to crop out the play where #23 for Neb blocked the FSU player in the back. Remember a ref was standing right there. But here is why you and probably millions believe Neb got robbed. Dick Enberg and Bob Trumpy called the game. On the replay of the penalty, Trumpy has the audience's attention focused on who he thought could be the ONLY person the penalty may have been called on. Problem is, that player did not commit the block or push in the back. It was #23 for Neb. Good call and the ref was right there.
Just happened to look up Lawrence Phillips. Sources showed he committed suicide in 2016. So very sad. He had so much to offer. To bad he couldn't stay out of trouble. A very sad ending to such a blessed and talented young man. Anyway, good luck to NU. Hope you guys can get back to football dominance. God bless.
If the game was on turf all the experts have now said Nebraska would have scored over a hundred points...That being said we have basically stunk for the last 25 years
The stunning thing about this is that Florida, with basically the same team, won the whole thing next year. Usually, teams that take a bowl beating like this have a serious hangover the following year
After this year Florida won it all against FSU. After the 98 Orange Bowl beating, Tennessee won it all, against FSU. Kind of makes up for losing to FSU in 1994! Heck, how many years in that decade saw a national championship game played without either Nebraska or FSU? Not many. Happily, Nebraska won the majority in which they played.
*"The stunning thing about this is that Florida, with basically the same team, won the whole thing next year."* Man you are spot on regarding the sameness thing. FL did not show up against Neb and 11 mths later they did not show up against FSU. Game 1: FSU 24, FL 21 33 days later Game 2: FL 52, FSU 20 a 35 point swing when *"they showed up."* Why couldn't it have been a 38 point swing.
Ah, the deep, rich satisfaction of seeing Spurrier humiliated, was priceless. I remember this game well, watching it with my wife at a bar in Key West. After the 1st quarter, it was the most physically dominating game I’ve ever seen. Mr. Bigmouth was totally outclassed and embarrassed.
the husker office is getting all the love, but the black shirts were so talented. We had a pro caliber player at every position. Nobody really stopped this gator offense all year and they only managed 10 points that were scored when the game was still in question
Nebraska kicked their ASSES Off and Handed it Back to them!! Hands down!! Still Laughing my ass off after all these YEARS!! Funny seeing Florida getting Shattered!! LOL
I rate the 2019 LSU team ahead of this '95 Nebraska team in terms of greatest I've ever seen because of the caliber of opponents that they had to face during the season, however this '95 Cornhuskers team I believe is the most dominant I have ever seen to this day.
One of the greatest games I’ve ever watched! It was a dominating effort. I never expected it to be so lopsided. Florida was a great team but Nebraska was that much better.
Nebraska was the much better team, but they weren’t 38 points better. Florida did not come to play. Spurrier called a bad game, with all those 5 wide out sets under center. If Florida brought their A game it would have been more like a 14-17 point game. Florida beat down a good FSU team, and blew out a very good Peyton Manning Tennessee team by 25. Florida was very good, maybe great that season. They didn’t bring it that game, and ran into maybe the best college football team of all time which led to a massive blowout.
@@chrisj7187 Good post, but the part about FL maybe being great needs some tempering. * Only 2 SEC teams finished ranked in the top 20. The fewest of the 90s. * FL beat Ark in the SEC CC. Ark is tied with MSU 98 as the only 2 teams to play in the SEC CC that finished with 5 losses and unranked. The best of the west was a bad team. * Manning started 39 games at TN and had only 2 significant wins by a total of 7 pts and he tried to give the SEC CC game to Auburn.
@@robjohnson8861 The reason I call them great, and of they weren’t a great team that were very nearly one, is more because of how good they were. In most seasons that is a sure fire national championship team. Just not that season when they ran into arguably the greatest college football team of all time. There was no one else in the nation who could have beat Florida that season except for Nebraska. Tennessee finished #3, FSU finished #4, and Florida beat the fire out of both of them. 1995 was much, much better than 2006 Florida that actually did win the national title.
@@chrisj7187 I hope to create a video sometime this spring where I will compare Neb95 to LSU2019.. Other than Neb's blowout of 1) bad teams and 2) coaches that proved themselves to be mediocre to poor coaches over their career 3) a FL team that didn't show up. Neb95 was a joke. Right now LSU leads Neb about 30 to 0 in my comparison. Did you know that 1/2 of coaches in the Big Easy in 95 were 1st year coaches. And Larry Smith at MO was in his 2nd yr of program that had not won more than 5 games in the previous 11 yrs. There is a ton that points to why LSU2019 is easily better than Neb95 and why ESPN 2019 has NEB71 as #1 greatest. Neb95 was 4th.
Everything you see Lamar Jackson, Russell Wilson, Tim Tebow, Michael Vick , and RG3 do/did , Tommy Frazier did in the mid 90's . He showed you the future of dual threat QB's.
he got injury & miss some games he won the Heisman in my mind second best play Lawrence Phillips he got suspensed miss some games Eddie was the 3rd best player that year
Myron Davis Eddie Ran for 325 against Illinois one of the best defenses in college football with 4 TDS with multiple 200 yard games he balled all year..
So what - Frazier was the best QB in college football on the best team in the history of college football It was Big 10 schlong sucking by ESPN that allowed Eddie George to steal Frazier's Heisman
Look at the size difference of Nebraska, that Florida team was a Machine, but the Cornhuskers were a Juggernaut. I was at this game, I loved Tommy Frazier as a kid. I'm a Huge Notre Dame fan, but my Big Brother knew how much I liked Frazier and his company was partnered with Tostitos and they gave him tickets. I remember telling him look how much bigger the Nebraska team was. Florida was Faster at the Skill Positions, but Frazier and Phillips were just as fast, but also Bigger. I didn't think this game would be a blowout, but when Tommy made "The Run" this game was over....RUN TOMMY RUN !!!
This Nebraska Squad was easily in the top 3 for best teams in college football history. I think this Nebraska team is better than 2001 Miami by far, but it would have been a super tight match up between them and 2019 LSU. Strength of teams this Nebraska and LSU under Joe Burrow were heavily different obviously. Nebraska didn't face too many good teams, but they still ended up winning a Natty against a super speedy Gator Squad, which if compared to the 2019 bama, are pretty similar in production, other than Bama losing Tua, and losing 2 games. This gator team went undefeated up until Nebraska. People will love to shout S.O.S, but what about team strength. You can face a super weak top 10 team, and LSU Faced a Texas Squad who didn't even end the season ranked in the top 15, they ended up having to beat a Utah Squad to get into the top 25 and were the only big 12 team to win a bowl game, a beaten down Alabama Squad, a heavily overrated Auburn team who only got by thanks to their defense and a terrible kicking effort from bama, a Florida team who was actually living up to their ranking until they met with Georgia, an Alabama Squad with a QB with an injured ankle, who still managed to try to squeeze back in with a second half rally, a Georgia squad who was becoming even more overrated and was for some reason trying to make an argument to get in after a 27 point loss to LSU, an Oklahoma team who had no discipline from an amazing offensive mind, but overall morally terrible coach, along with a luck based defense that if against a running QB, crumbles like a wad of paper, and a Clemson Squad who was the ONLY TEAM that deserved to be in to get their crap stomped by arguably the BEST passing offensive team ever. I wasn't alive to see Nebraska, but I was able to watch LSU stomp my team into the dirt, to the point where benching Jalen hurts was the biggest news for us. I can without a doubt say that LSU would have a clear cut advantage with JaMarr Chase and Joe Shiesty, BUT, they have never experienced Taking on an option team and their defense showed that if they faced a QB faster or stronger than let's say Jalen hurts, that defense fails to contribute. Take a look at Ole Miss, that team didn't even get to play a bowl game, but a QB who couldn't really pass against them, but had around 4.4 or 4.3 speed was able to carve through their defense easily. Nebraska has Tommy Frazier, probably one of the smartest dual threat Quarterbacks ever. He had amazing vision, and knew where to go and what to do with the football. Who on LSU's defense would keep up with not only him, but a bruising RB, a tough FB, an offensive line who never gave up a single sack all season long, and a WR core who didn't need to go deep, but just make a man miss to be effective? Derek Stingley? He had great hands, but what can he do when nobody throws the ball, the Dline? The one that people questioned because of the lack of ability to stop then run? LB core could stop the run, but they got tripped up by reverses, and Nebraska knew exactly when to hit trick plays, reverses, and the fumble rooskie. If you ask me, I think Nebraska would edge the 2019 LSU Squad, mainly because of their lack of ability to stop the run, but only by a 2 point conversion to win it.
Didnt face many good teams? Go look at the records of the teams they beat. Nebraska had man to man lock down corners, strong fast defensive ends, an extremely fast and smart Mike LB in Farley and large beef in the middle. LSUs offense, the little time they would even see the field because the NUs offense, would be under constant pressure.
@@oscodaowl9278 again, im not trying to discredit either team. Both completely stomped my favorite team in Oklahoma, so I have no room for smack talk. I think the bashing of Nebraska is completely uncalled for. That team was light-years better than what LSU put on the field fr what I believe, but that's not saying LSU was bad, they're still one of the best in history. That just shows how much better 95 Nebraska was in comparison
GOAT. They played four top 10 teams and no one had a chance. 2001 Huskers were not that good, as they got clobbered by Colorado before that. Miami was the greatest collection of talent. That does not mean they were the greatest TEAM. Miami didn't have the training, the preparation, the heart, and the development and coaching that Nebraska had. By the way, the 2nd best team? 1971 Nebraska. 3 first team all Americans, including 2 outland winners on the DL. The greatest offense? 1983 Nebraska. Heisman winner, 4th place in Heisman at QB, first pick in NFL draft at WR, and two all century linemen, with future all Americans on 2nd string.
Over a quarter of a century later, this team is still mentioned among the top five ever. The others being 01 Miami, 04 USC, 05 Texas and 19 LSU considered in that group
Everytime this game is replayed, the Lawrence Phillips babblers come out of their basements. Phillips didnt play many games that year because he was suspended. They didnt need him because they had someone just as good. They won with a guy named Ahman Green, a great running back who if he would have played as much as Phillips did in that game, his stats would probably have been just as good or better. Phillips had a mediocre night at best.
*"They didnt need him because they had someone just as good."* you twit. Are you that stupid to think people aren't realizing you are prognosticating AFTER the game has been played. Look up prognostication. Osborne was 1-7 in his last 8 bowls. Do you think GOD could have told him, you don't need Phllips? Gesus!
Speaking as a Sooner fan, that Husker team could destroy today’s teams. There were no weakness in that team. Just pure power, strength, endurance, discipline, and dang good solid coaching. You won’t hear of any OU fan disrespect Coach Osborne or the Huskers.
The OU-NU rivalry was so much fun. There was camaraderie among fans, and whoever won, the loser rooted for the winner in the national championship.
Well, since OU sucked during the 60-3 run we really don't know how good do we?
In the first 16 games that head-coach Tom Osboring played Switzer, Osboring only won FOUR, YES, FOUR, of those games.
But with his 3 national titles, Osborne is one of the best coaches of his generation, and one of the very most respected, as well. Switzer, on the other hand, got FIRED for questionable football ethics - keep that in mind.
Barry S. is just about as popular in Lincoln as he is in Norman. :) Those were great days.
Thank you for that. Yes I remember those days when we loved to hate Oklahoma, and that darn Switzer could always figure out a way to win! In 1978, it felt so good to finally beat the Sooners! In reality, it's like others have said there was always a mutual respect. The rivalry was fun, and the smack was only for fun. Now days the animosity towards the opposing team is real. Not good.
This Husker team was just downright terrifying! The best college football team in history. 🙌

@@elcuco1414Sir Miami had more NFL talent than Ohio State. Why did they lose? Because they weren't the best team. This is greatest college team ever. No sacks the whole season
@@elcuco1414Oh, really? Nebraska never once trailed in the second half of a game, and only trailed in this game for the first 32 seconds of the second quarter, which was the latest they trailed in a game all year. And they only trailed Washington St for about two minutes in the first quarter before rattling off 35 straight points, and only trailed Florida for 4:46 total this game, and those were the only two times they trailed in a game all year. Think about that. Pure dominance.
Miami trailed in the fourth quarter twice in 2001, and were lucky to win both games. Nebraska outscored their opponents by 39 points a game in 1995, and they outscored the four top 10 teams they played by a combined total of 196-73, with the average score being 49-18.5, and only one of those games was at home (two on the road and the Fiesta Bowl at a neutral site). And half of those 73 points given up to those top 10 teams were given up in garbage time. They are still the standard-bearers for college football greatness over one season.
Miami did have a lot of great NFL talent on that 2001 team, though, but the results are the results.
@@andrejamison2723And no holding penalties, either. Think about that. Not one holding penalty for the entire season for the entire team!

2001 Miami has entered the chat.
Without a doubt!
All about conditioning and guts for Cornhuskers...this was my junior year of high school and I worked at all home games for the Athletic Department. Our Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores this year were Very disciplined and hungry. Very tough rivalry and the Defense had to be great to keep our offense out on the field. Offense had to practice a lot to get maximum game time. These men were coached by a genius Tom Osborne and gave their all at practice and on the field. It takes grit and a consistent vision to yield amazing results. The one off plays a good, but it's the entire team that makes a standout year happen like the 1996 Cornhuskers! Born Nebraska and Always bleeding Red for NU for Life! Respect to other fans and teams, but massive props to the Good Life here..."That's Why we all love Nebraska..."
I absolutely love college football and watched for decades. I have NEVER seen a better team than 1995 Nebraska. Their entire decade of dominance was a marvel to observe. Tom Osborne is truly to be considered among the greatest coaches of all time in any sport. Bear Bryant, John Wooden, Tom Osborne.... What a team 1995 Nebraska!
2001 Canes is the GOAT. No debating.
We will rebuild. I'm a Nebraska native in enemy territory, Oklahoma City. It's about time I bust out the NU Jersey. GO FROSTIE!
A one dimensional triple option offense would get destroyed by the great Miami teams. Easily
@don wilson yeah Nebraska didn't have any gangster on these teams and Phillips wasn't the only troublemaker. That's what made your team's competitive against the Miami's,Florida sts and Florida's. Osborne just was good at hiding most of it

I remember prior to this game a couple of "experts" picked Florida because Nebraska didn't have "SEC speed"

@@tommypine9239 no it wasn't.
For those who mention Phillips and Osborne, they probably don’t realize Osborne never gave up on him. Even while in jail, Osborne wrote him and visited him there, right up until the end. Most coaches would just abandon players after they were used up.
Of course, you clown. People tried to tell the horsesh*t saleman, "you can't reach Phillips on a football field." He needed to continue the guise of pretending to care about Phillips to protect what he started in 95 and hopefully shape what would be written about him.
Paterno approves this post.
hardly. Osborne knew he had the mostly deadly weapon in college football with Phillips. granted he did stick with him, but winning is what is all about. Osborne was a class act.

I was a 10 yr. Old kid in 1970, in Lincoln. Nebraska football was everything to everyone. Every neighborhood had a team. It was like the movie "Sandlot," but it was football. We lived on Star St. And we were good. It wasn't just school that educated us. It was the companionship and the desire to truly beat the competition. Beautiful life lessons are learned within sports and the will to win will last. So will the memories of your friends you shared it with. I remember the times 55 yrs. Ago. Like it was yesterday. In my mind it still is.
Nebraska’s run game was purely unstoppable. The O line was amazing. Tommy had RB vision AND a good RB. They could run the option all day no problem.
Most pats on the ass in history during his 75 yd run.
Offensive line for Nebraska was unreal in 95
And Tyrell Farley is a FREAK
...I certainly agree with that. Being a Nebraska raised kid and watching these Husker teams and studying their whole scheme and rewatching these games..if you a student of the game..I advise you you to do a deep research Into the 1994 line. IMO, through observation, the 1994 line was the huskers most dominant line that was.. so unique, that the offensive line were the the team leaders in locker room and on field..the team followed these dynamic and most dominant personalities in that line. They were fierce, mean, relentless and interestingly very effective considering their youth to understand the nuances of the human mind and how to wreak havoc in the minds of the opponents..they did this by deliberate techniques.. Zach weigert was notorious for this. My cousin knows him alittle..they went to HS together. Weigert was a feared man by opponents and also feared in a sense by teammates...anyways..you are giving yourself good times for looking into the 94 line..
they had the best lines for a decade
They gave up ZERO sacks, Husker backs averaged 7.0 yards per carry, and they were never penalized for holding during the entire 1995 season. Yes, they were a GREAT offensive line.
The OL used to tell the opposing DL which way the play was going. They still couldn't be stopped.
2years in a row the best offensive line play I've ever seen to this day. Equal parts smart and precise brutal execution.

Nah definitely Reggie bush is terms of pure talent of an athlete in college
The option is very difficult to stop because it requires discipline to defend. The defense you must use regardless of your front, 4-3, 3-4, 5-2 etc. Is a defense of position. You cannot over pursue and you cannot hit to make a tackle. You have to wrap. Florida was used to hitting and they paid the price. They over pursued badly and that made the trap plays, option plays that much more effective. Lastly, the flex 4-3 that Spurrier employed is one of the worst defenses to use against any option team and especially an I option team. This is the anatomy of a beat down. Once I played for a former Spurrier assistant and he used this type of defense and the fun n gun.
I grew up watching Nebraska dominate 90s college football
I'm a bama fan but I love college football all around. I watch it all.
Florida was good that year but this Nebraska team may be the best college football team of all time. Miami has argued about their 2001 team but they had a couple of close call against lesser teams but nobody even came close to Nebraska who played a stiffer schedule than the 2001 Miami team.

No, actually, you didn't win a consensus NC 2 years later. That stopped in 95. Ha. Neb has 3. Minnesota has 4.
RIP Phillips some people judge you I don't people don't know what you been through you will always be a legendary Cornhusker your legend lives on.
No excuses for beating women like he did. I don't care what he went through. You should not either.
@don wilson No, I said that OJ should have been given the death penalty as he murdered two people in cold blood.
@don wilson I hear you. But let's face it. Many football players are thugs and shouldn't even be in school. LP is one of them.
I don't think Osborne or any other coach for a big time program is doing anything other than trying to win. Would Phillips have gotten the same treatment if he were a walk on? Hell no. His ass would have been kicked out of school. Frankly, no player deserves special treatment and should not be given any. They need to turn themselves around just like any other student. They are not children and are responsible for their own actions just like any other student. No other student would have a team of assistants helping them in school and with personal problems. That's my opinion.
don wilson I hear you but don’t agree. Put it to the test. Like I said, if LP was a walk-in he would have been kicked out of school. No coach ever thinks he has enough great players, even if he actually does. That’s not their mentality. Lastly, the university of Nebraska is an academic institution not the Nebraska state social services department. No other student would get this special treatment if they were not a stud football player. They would just tell you to sort it out on your own.
don wilson You are kind of all over the place. With the admissions scandal it appears that the offenders are going to jail for 20 years and the kids obviously won’t be admitted. I’m not sure what your point is. LP remained on the team for what he did, which was horrible. And he would not have remained on the team if he was a scrub. Don’t kid yourself and don’t be a fool. Get real. This is real simple.
The fact Nebraska left 10 points on the field is scary...

Would put this team up against the recent teams that won the national championship. especially if Alabama wins the title. Nebraska's closest game was 14 in a 35-21st win against Washington State. The schedule, #8 Kansas State, at #7 Colorado, at #10 Kansas(who didn't score a touchdown) and then #2 Florida. Sorry Miami fans, your 2001 team may of had NFL players but this team was on a mission and proved it in this game.
Miami would beat this team too much speed for Nebraska
Tremayne Smith did you not watch this game? That is what they said all week before it. When I made my bet with a guy that talked about all the Florida speed, I said it doesnt matter when your qb can't throw of his back. All your defense speed won't matter when your OL is crushing the DL. Nick Saban called Lawrence Phillips the best running back he ever saw.
@@prism8289 *"Nick Saban called Lawrence Phillips the best running back he ever saw."* Ok. Let's get a little perspective ok. lol Saban had 11 games of experience in the MAC before playing Neb.
@@robjohnson8861 he said it years later
@@prism8289 But he was seeing it through the prism of a coach with 11 games of experience.
26:05
"Look at Tommie Frazier!"
"How many tackles can one man break!?"
"Touchdown!"
or how many missed tackles can so many players miss. You know, not being ready to play and all that.
Throw back to Kirk Herb getting mad at this being called the GOAT team
9:25 one of the best runs in this game. DOMINANT!!! ...and then this (26:04) happens - an all-timer!
Phillips’ run there was really a mark of extreme excellence. There is an angle filmed from the end zone. He just broke a bunch of ankles and hardly got touched.
Nebraska 95 team was the greatest you could not stop them from scoring Tommy Frazier could not be stopped Lawrence Phillips was a beast RIP Lawrence
RIP to career thug and eventual murderer? Wow!
I remember this game. I loved Spurrier's response when he was asked about the safety earlier in the game: "Yeah, like those 2 points really made a difference.
Thanks for the post Stephen...great memories! I miss the fullback almost as much as I miss fighting in hockey.
In an ordinary season, the 95 Gators would have probably won the national title. They were a very good team, most of whom came back to win the title the next year. 1995 was not a normal year, however. In its final season, the Big 8 Conference was unbelievably OP, with 4 teams that probably would have gone undefeated on Florida's 1995 regular season schedule. Colorado, Kansas, and Kansas State all steamrolled everyone they played, except each other and Nebraska, which crushed them by margins of 23, 38 and 25 points, respectively. I was a 13-year-old Kansas State fan living in Lincoln at the time this game was played, and I remember all the "experts" predicting Florida would win, because Nebraska hadn't played a game on natural grass that year. I wasn't too worried, as Nebraska's team was so OP they could have beaten some NFL teams at the time.
Two safeties in a row. What dominance!
Those were the days for us Cornhuskers 😢
I'am a FSU fan but I remember Neb being in the 90's what bama has been for a decade+. I hope they get the right coach and return to their glory days.
being from Nebraska and attending this game, ultimately earned respect for Spurrier. Wished he could have made it work in SC...
Mtnbkr lol he’s won more games than anyone in sc history
Spurrier's payment of tuition in this game was money well spent, because it hardened him and his team in throttling Florida State 52-20 in a rematch game to win the National Championship one year later.
Spurrier has respect as a coach and as a person from this Nebraska fan. :)
@@gynandroidhead *"Spurrier's payment of tuition in this game was money well spent, because it hardened him and his team in throttling Florida State 52-20 in a rematch game to win the National Championship one year later."* Rematch game because he didn't show up in the first game against FSU just like he didnt against Neb.
How much did he not show up against FSU.
Spurrier lost by 3, 33 days later
he won by 32.
That's 35 points of no show in the 1st game, you'd have to agree to, right gynandroidhead?
@@robjohnson8861 I told you to just shut the fuck up
This is the third time I watched this game, including the original on ABC. I still think that Florida had faster players at the skill position.
But Nebraska was very physical, and I don't think Florida was ready for that. When your line is knocking the other guy on his ass on every play, it doesn't matter how fast they are. Nebraska had a very physical football team, they were well coached, and came ready to play.
kt6550 Florida wasn’t ready up front and it showed big time in this game. In fact after this game as well Florida hard Bob stoops and started becoming pretty strong defensively
Just ask Warren Sapp what he thinks of Nebraska.
@@kathrynkirchhoff769 like he didn't dominate most of that game. Just wore down because the offense couldn't do anything and they had no depth to give him a rest. Florida's dline wish they had a player that played 10% as good as Sapp played. It's not like you guys dominated Miami or Sapp.
@@kathrynkirchhoff769 "Just ask Warren Sapp what he thinks of Nebraska." Nah, it would be much more fun to ask him how he felt when 1 year earlier AZ handed Sapp and Miami a 29-0 loss.
You see comment after comment about the offensive line play of Nebraska. It bears repeating. The most overpowering offensive line in the history of college football. This is why the 1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers are the greatest college football team of all time. Where are almost all games won? By superior play in the trenches. No team, not Alabama, Miami, or anyone else handed their opponents ass to them like Nebraska. Those other teams had a tremendous number of star players. They didn't have the the unparalleled power of this Juggernaut. Muscle and depth up front set them apart from everyone else. Look at this destruction of the speedy, flashy Gators. Getting sand and turf kicked in their faces by the power of the Nebraska machine. Argue until the Moon turns blue. There will never be a greater team than the 1995 Nebraska Huskers.
Hard to argue the 95 Huskers are the best team ever but the thing that"s almost as good as this win was watching Spurrier's face change from the first time to the last.
Tommy should have won the Heisman.
Well, no. The distance between Frazier and Wuerfful was closer in votes than the distance between George and Frazier. In other words, he was closer to being #3 than #1. Ha!. Nothing works for Neb95 when you drill down.
I was in high school here in VA and watched the game live as it happened. That run by Frazier was the highlight run of the decade.
The OL used to tell the opposing DL what play they were going to run and no one could stop.them.
This Nebraska team was the best college team of all time the year before they finally go down to beat Miami this team was a year later same crew mad bad and dangerous
The sound that you're hearing is the Huskers scoring again and again and again
and the Neb players pounding their heads against their lockers after the *"NO SHOW"* against ASU 2 games later
ASU 19, #1 Neb 0 that dropped them 8 places in the poll.
@@robjohnson8861 geez Rob can we just stick to the subject at hand.. let me tell ya sumpn' brotha'..
I was here in Orlando yeah. One of my watering holes that was a late night game of course Arizona time and I just couldn't believe what I was watching that damn snake. Jake The Snake who later in time became a Bronco which I was happy for until the 2005 AFC Championship game when they're like 5 turnovers so we kick Jake to the curb but he'll always have that shutout against the Huskers
Wow I miss this Cornhusker team 😢
I don't know if people realize how good the BIG 8 was that year. Oklahoma was down that year and OK State was still rebuilding... but Kansas, K-State and Colorado were all great teams that year. They were all 9-2... each lost to the Huskers and took turns beating each other. None lost a game out of conference or in bowls.
Come on, get real. KSU and Kansas played unranked teams in their bowls.
Colorado, K-State and KU would all have gone undefeated on Florida's schedule that year, except for the NC game against Nebraska, of course. KU was the only one of those three teams to lose as badly to the Huskers as Florida did.
@@DamonNomad82 You may be right that FL was overrated bec only 2 SEC teams finished in the top 20 that year. Fewest of the 90's.
*"Kansas, K-State and Colorado were all great teams that year. They were all 9-2... each lost to the Huskers and took turns beating each other. None lost a game out of conference or in bowls."*
But get this. KS and KSU played Cinni back to back.
Both scored 23 points, but (there's always a but with NEB 95)
then
Miami (OH) scored 23
KY scored 33
Toledo scored scored 45
Always drill down.
Kansas State played Temple, Cincinnati, Northern Illinois, Akron non conference and beat Colorado State in their bowl game. You can say they were a top 10 team winning 9 10 games against such pathetic competition but that's really generous. Could have been champions of the MAC...
629 yards...any questions?
95 sucked. Nevada wound up with more yds for the yr.
I live in Florida and i watched this game in a bar in st pete. 98% Gaytor fans. I LOVED THIS GAME. i despise the florida teams. for those of you who don't know, Gaytor fans are the most OBNOXIOUS fans in the world. 1 fan started crying and wanted to fight with one of the few Nebraska fans in the bar.
Say what you will about Nebraska. They got ROBBED (terribly) 1993 against Florida State. This is technically their third in a row National Championship
Riiiiight
Please present the video where FSU got robbed. There are 2 plays you are referring too. I'm guessing it is the 2nd one that chaps your ass the most.
#1. The Floyd fumble after he crossed the line. Please show us indisputable evidence that he fumbled before he crossed the line. You can't. Let's get to #2
#2. The block in the back that negated Neb's touchdown. It took a minute bec Neb fans like to crop out the play where #23 for Neb blocked the FSU player in the back. Remember a ref was standing right there. But here is why you and probably millions believe Neb got robbed. Dick Enberg and Bob Trumpy called the game.
On the replay of the penalty, Trumpy has the audience's attention focused on who he thought could be the ONLY person the penalty may have been called on. Problem is, that player did not commit the block or push in the back. It was #23 for Neb. Good call and the ref was right there.
Just imagine if it was played on turf.... lol
Just happened to look up Lawrence Phillips. Sources showed he committed suicide in 2016. So very sad. He had so much to offer. To bad he couldn't stay out of trouble. A very sad ending to such a blessed and talented young man. Anyway, good luck to NU. Hope you guys can get back to football dominance. God bless.
total domination.
If the game was on turf all the experts have now said Nebraska would have scored over a hundred points...That being said we have basically stunk for the last 25 years
The stunning thing about this is that Florida, with basically the same team, won the whole thing next year.
Usually, teams that take a bowl beating like this have a serious hangover the following year
Chris Kreager they made major defensive improvements but yeah some truth to your statement
After this year Florida won it all against FSU. After the 98 Orange Bowl beating, Tennessee won it all, against FSU. Kind of makes up for losing to FSU in 1994! Heck, how many years in that decade saw a national championship game played without either Nebraska or FSU? Not many. Happily, Nebraska won the majority in which they played.
*"The stunning thing about this is that Florida, with basically the same team, won the whole thing next year."*
Man you are spot on regarding the sameness thing. FL did not show up against Neb and 11 mths later they did not show up against FSU.
Game 1: FSU 24, FL 21
33 days later
Game 2: FL 52, FSU 20
a 35 point swing when *"they showed up."* Why couldn't it have been a 38 point swing.
Maybe the most satifying game ever lol. Nebraska was so good tht year and i hate florida so it was funny
Mark Boles Totally agreed.
Being an Ohio state I can see why you wouldn’t like Florida. Didn’t Florida beat them in title games in football and basketball?
@@willhopson1277 Nebraska's basketball team never made title games.
@@Coowallsky fu
Filthy McNasty the poster is an Ohio state fan...
Ah, the deep, rich satisfaction of seeing Spurrier humiliated, was priceless. I remember this game well, watching it with my wife at a bar in Key West. After the 1st quarter, it was the most physically dominating game I’ve ever seen. Mr. Bigmouth was totally outclassed and embarrassed.
You got a hard on about that? Spurrier had a losing bowl record prior to the game anyway.
the husker office is getting all the love, but the black shirts were so talented. We had a pro caliber player at every position. Nobody really stopped this gator offense all year and they only managed 10 points that were scored when the game was still in question
Nebraska kicked their ASSES Off and Handed it Back to them!! Hands down!! Still Laughing my ass off after all these YEARS!! Funny seeing Florida getting Shattered!! LOL
I rate the 2019 LSU team ahead of this '95 Nebraska team in terms of greatest I've ever seen because of the caliber of opponents that they had to face during the season, however this '95 Cornhuskers team I believe is the most dominant I have ever seen to this day.
I love Watching Nebraska work
One of the greatest games I’ve ever watched! It was a dominating effort. I never expected it to be so lopsided. Florida was a great team but Nebraska was that much better.
Nebraska was the much better team, but they weren’t 38 points better. Florida did not come to play. Spurrier called a bad game, with all those 5 wide out sets under center. If Florida brought their A game it would have been more like a 14-17 point game. Florida beat down a good FSU team, and blew out a very good Peyton Manning Tennessee team by 25. Florida was very good, maybe great that season. They didn’t bring it that game, and ran into maybe the best college football team of all time which led to a massive blowout.
@@chrisj7187 Good post, but the part about FL maybe being great needs some tempering.
* Only 2 SEC teams finished ranked in the top 20. The fewest of the 90s.
* FL beat Ark in the SEC CC. Ark is tied with MSU 98 as the only 2 teams to play in the SEC CC that finished with 5 losses and unranked. The best of the west was a bad team.
* Manning started 39 games at TN and had only 2 significant wins by a total of 7 pts and he tried to give the SEC CC game to Auburn.
@@robjohnson8861 The reason I call them great, and of they weren’t a great team that were very nearly one, is more because of how good they were. In most seasons that is a sure fire national championship team. Just not that season when they ran into arguably the greatest college football team of all time. There was no one else in the nation who could have beat Florida that season except for Nebraska. Tennessee finished #3, FSU finished #4, and Florida beat the fire out of both of them. 1995 was much, much better than 2006 Florida that actually did win the national title.
@@chrisj7187 I hope to create a video sometime this spring where I will compare Neb95 to LSU2019..
Other than Neb's blowout of
1) bad teams and
2) coaches that proved themselves to be mediocre to poor coaches over their career
3) a FL team that didn't show up.
Neb95 was a joke. Right now LSU leads Neb about 30 to 0 in my comparison.
Did you know that 1/2 of coaches in the Big Easy in 95 were 1st year coaches. And Larry Smith at MO was in his 2nd yr of program that had not won more than 5 games in the previous 11 yrs.
There is a ton that points to why LSU2019 is easily better than Neb95 and why
ESPN 2019 has NEB71 as #1 greatest. Neb95 was 4th.
Everything you see Lamar Jackson, Russell Wilson, Tim Tebow, Michael Vick , and RG3 do/did , Tommy Frazier did in the mid 90's . He showed you the future of dual threat QB's.
And Turner Gill a decade before that. A lot of OU QBs did the same.
Lawrence Phillips--most wasted talent athletically and chemically.
+Timothy Stelly Len Bias >>>> Lawrence Phillips. Bias would've been a superstar in the NBA. I dunno if Phillips would've been an elite back.
Nah he would of been one of the best running backs of all time if it were not for his off the field issues.
Really sad alcohol and anger led to his end all he had to do was drink no more. Even sadder was Todd Marinovich drugs and no where.
Timothy Stelly indeed a sad story, LP could’ve been Heisman front runner ‘94-‘95
Never be an Oline this good ever again
Total strength and domination. Watch the bodies fall.
Best team in the history of college football Go Bg Red !🌽🌽🌽☠️☠️☠️☠️
How is it that Tommy didn't win the Heisman that year,
+Don Glover The Big 10 SID Office, better known as ESPN, campaigned for Eddie George all season.
he got injury & miss some games he won the Heisman in my mind second best play Lawrence Phillips he got suspensed miss some games Eddie was the 3rd best player that year
Myron Davis Eddie Ran for 325 against Illinois one of the best defenses in college football with 4 TDS with multiple 200 yard games he balled all year..
So what - Frazier was the best QB in college football on the best team in the history of college football
It was Big 10 schlong sucking by ESPN that allowed Eddie George to steal Frazier's Heisman
Jim Wichert lol 😂😭🤣🤣🤣
Look at the size difference of Nebraska, that Florida team was a Machine, but the Cornhuskers were a Juggernaut. I was at this game, I loved Tommy Frazier as a kid. I'm a Huge Notre Dame fan, but my Big Brother knew how much I liked Frazier and his company was partnered with Tostitos and they gave him tickets. I remember telling him look how much bigger the Nebraska team was. Florida was Faster at the Skill Positions, but Frazier and Phillips were just as fast, but also Bigger. I didn't think this game would be a blowout, but when Tommy made "The Run" this game was over....RUN TOMMY RUN !!!
This was, as my late father used to say, "an old-fashioned ass whoopin'"
One of the Best if not the best…..
.
crazy they played FSU, Miami, then Florida in a row for the championship
Rip Lawrence Phillips
Condolences to a career thug. Go figure.
As a Florida fan this was painful but winning 3 in the following 13 years made it not hurt as bad
Say thanks Bobby Stoops
This game proved that a solid running game, a solid defense, and a solid offensive line will beat a pass happy team every time.
Before the SEC became the SEC. Nebraska made the SEC look like D-2 school
This Nebraska Squad was easily in the top 3 for best teams in college football history. I think this Nebraska team is better than 2001 Miami by far, but it would have been a super tight match up between them and 2019 LSU.
Strength of teams this Nebraska and LSU under Joe Burrow were heavily different obviously. Nebraska didn't face too many good teams, but they still ended up winning a Natty against a super speedy Gator Squad, which if compared to the 2019 bama, are pretty similar in production, other than Bama losing Tua, and losing 2 games. This gator team went undefeated up until Nebraska. People will love to shout S.O.S, but what about team strength. You can face a super weak top 10 team, and LSU Faced a Texas Squad who didn't even end the season ranked in the top 15, they ended up having to beat a Utah Squad to get into the top 25 and were the only big 12 team to win a bowl game, a beaten down Alabama Squad, a heavily overrated Auburn team who only got by thanks to their defense and a terrible kicking effort from bama, a Florida team who was actually living up to their ranking until they met with Georgia, an Alabama Squad with a QB with an injured ankle, who still managed to try to squeeze back in with a second half rally, a Georgia squad who was becoming even more overrated and was for some reason trying to make an argument to get in after a 27 point loss to LSU, an Oklahoma team who had no discipline from an amazing offensive mind, but overall morally terrible coach, along with a luck based defense that if against a running QB, crumbles like a wad of paper, and a Clemson Squad who was the ONLY TEAM that deserved to be in to get their crap stomped by arguably the BEST passing offensive team ever.
I wasn't alive to see Nebraska, but I was able to watch LSU stomp my team into the dirt, to the point where benching Jalen hurts was the biggest news for us. I can without a doubt say that LSU would have a clear cut advantage with JaMarr Chase and Joe Shiesty,
BUT, they have never experienced Taking on an option team and their defense showed that if they faced a QB faster or stronger than let's say Jalen hurts, that defense fails to contribute. Take a look at Ole Miss, that team didn't even get to play a bowl game, but a QB who couldn't really pass against them, but had around 4.4 or 4.3 speed was able to carve through their defense easily.
Nebraska has Tommy Frazier, probably one of the smartest dual threat Quarterbacks ever. He had amazing vision, and knew where to go and what to do with the football. Who on LSU's defense would keep up with not only him, but a bruising RB, a tough FB, an offensive line who never gave up a single sack all season long, and a WR core who didn't need to go deep, but just make a man miss to be effective? Derek Stingley? He had great hands, but what can he do when nobody throws the ball, the Dline? The one that people questioned because of the lack of ability to stop then run? LB core could stop the run, but they got tripped up by reverses, and Nebraska knew exactly when to hit trick plays, reverses, and the fumble rooskie. If you ask me, I think Nebraska would edge the 2019 LSU Squad, mainly because of their lack of ability to stop the run, but only by a 2 point conversion to win it.
Didnt face many good teams? Go look at the records of the teams they beat. Nebraska had man to man lock down corners, strong fast defensive ends, an extremely fast and smart Mike LB in Farley and large beef in the middle. LSUs offense, the little time they would even see the field because the NUs offense, would be under constant pressure.
@@oscodaowl9278 again, im not trying to discredit either team. Both completely stomped my favorite team in Oklahoma, so I have no room for smack talk. I think the bashing of Nebraska is completely uncalled for. That team was light-years better than what LSU put on the field fr what I believe, but that's not saying LSU was bad, they're still one of the best in history. That just shows how much better 95 Nebraska was in comparison
I absolutely loved being at that game!! A lot of cocky gator fans during pre-game were shut up real quick! HAHAHAHA!
GOAT. They played four top 10 teams and no one had a chance. 2001 Huskers were not that good, as they got clobbered by Colorado before that. Miami was the greatest collection of talent. That does not mean they were the greatest TEAM. Miami didn't have the training, the preparation, the heart, and the development and coaching that Nebraska had. By the way, the 2nd best team? 1971 Nebraska. 3 first team all Americans, including 2 outland winners on the DL. The greatest offense? 1983 Nebraska. Heisman winner, 4th place in Heisman at QB, first pick in NFL draft at WR, and two all century linemen, with future all Americans on 2nd string.
Over a quarter of a century later, this team is still mentioned among the top five ever. The others being 01 Miami, 04 USC, 05 Texas and 19 LSU considered in that group
Everytime this game is replayed, the Lawrence Phillips babblers come out of their basements. Phillips didnt play many games that year because he was suspended. They didnt need him because they had someone just as good. They won with a guy named Ahman Green, a great running back who if he would have played as much as Phillips did in that game, his stats would probably have been just as good or better. Phillips had a mediocre night at best.
*"They didnt need him because they had someone just as good."* you twit. Are you that stupid to think people aren't realizing you are prognosticating AFTER the game has been played. Look up prognostication. Osborne was 1-7 in his last 8 bowls. Do you think GOD could have told him, you don't need Phllips? Gesus!
This reminds me of the super bowl between the 🐬 vs 49ers in 84 season
