- I had to edit out 10 seconds of the ASU highlights. For some reason the video got blocked because of footage from one play. Someone "owns" that plays footage (but not others?) and wanted the video removed. Oddly enough I have only had one other video blocked out of around 200 that I have uploaded. That game was the 1996 ASU game. Both times it was ASU footage. I will let you come to your own conclusions.
I claim no ownership of this material, and do not profit from it in any way. This video is intended for historical and educational viewing purposes.
Hearing Brooke say, "in ten, twenty years I will still be telling people what it was like to play football at Nebraska..." is crushingly sad.
When I heard that for some reason I had this weird feeling wash over me like, "is he still alive these days?" Never heard of anybody from these teams before was born in 01 but went and looked it up and seen that. Just so weird that was the first feeling I got in my stomach
My father was raised in Decatur, NE. About 100 miles north of Lincoln. After his 2nd tour of duty was completed at Hunter Arny Air base. He never left coastal SC and GA He also, never quit being a representative of Husker Nation. As for myself, I absolutely love my Georgia bulldogs. Which is where he and I would butt heads. In the mid to late 90's, Nebraska was a beast. No tricks, no gimmicks and no nonsense. They'd simply line up in Power I, Wing T or Option. Put a tight end on the strong side. Indicating to everyone in the stadium. "Hey... Where running the ball, and where going this way. Try to stop it if you can". Then commence to ram that ball down your throat, and wear your defense out. Play after play, until your cheerleaders and water boy would be getting fitted for pads due to attrition.
Georgia would usually have a noon kick-off during those years, and since Nebraska usually played in the Midwest. Their game would usually start around 3pm. My old man wouldn't say a word. He'd just come in the living room. Grab the remote and turn off my game, right in the middle of the 3rd quarter. Look me dead in the face as I argued in protest. "Son, when Georgia is ranked higher than Nebraska. We will watch Georgia play. Until that day comes. You need to watch a real team play and take notes. This is how you play hard nose football".
I'm honestly glad he is not here to see what has happened to his "Big Red"... He'd be distraught and probably drive there and kick the AD's A$$...
Hopefully they'll get the ball and get back to the dominant program they once were.
Hard to believe this was 28 years ago. Best team in the history of college football.
Hats off to Mr. X. His honesty in his appraisal of the 1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers is refreshing. There have been great teams throughout collegiate football history. This Husker team is on a different trophy shelf. Remarkably, this team returned only 8 starters from the team that blew away the Hurricanes in the Orange Bowl. The fourteen new starters galvanized quickly and joined a returning core group of stars. The end result is the deepest team college football has ever known. Probably the most remarkable stat I've ever seen regarding a college team is the rushing statistics of this juggernaut. Nebraska outrushed its opponents on average by 400 yards to 67 in each contest. A 6-1 disparity! Even the Alabama juggernaut of today couldn't cram the ball down an opponents throat like this one. Or the 2002 Miami team that is most often compared to them. Why? The depth of this team has never been equaled. At a minimum three deep at every position. This played out in the Fiesta Bowl in the decimation of the Gators. Entire units through the third team played in this game. And played like they were the starting unit! No team ever had such a luxury of depth. Or used it more brilliantly. Name any team you want. This Cornhusker team would have plowed through them all.
As an alum of The Ohio State University, I sincerely hope you find it again Big Red.
Love that!!!! I don't hate Ohio St
they can't recruit anymore, they were so dominant before because most of the in state high schools ran the Nebraska offense so they had a good pipeline for offensive linemen. Combine that with being able to recruit stud athletes from all over the country, and you get an elite program. They went away from the Osborne system and it trickled down into their program. They need to get a legit coach who can bring a good offensive system for them.
Fain 'nough. Who's realistically their coach in your opinion?
Thank you for that kind thought.
As a Husker fan, why?
Sad to see this once great program become what it is today. Anybody who doubts how important a head coach is in college football needs to only look at what happened to Nebraska after Osborne retired. From Championship caliber to mediocrity.
terrell farley and lawrence phillips could have been two great nfl players if they could've only overcome they're demons. I read somewhere that farley is now sober and has been for sometime. Was sad it see that phillips took his own life, but hopefully he is at peace now rip my friend
Diane Newman That's what I think to. After watching running for his life, and just knowing how well his former teammates at Nebraska know him, it seems very fishy. You just know those prisons are as corrupt as can be.
I still believe Lawrence Phillips is still the greatest player
Farley was pretty incredible in college. He was only 200 lbs though not sure what kind of NFL career he would have had.
@@robr7200he could had a great career. He could of been like what Lavontae David is for the Bucs today. He make look small but man he could make plays
I didn’t know that porn was allowed on CZcams
Team Shot Hero 😂 that was one of the greatest crew in the history of CFB ever
I yell "touchdown, touchdown, touchdown" everytime lol

Thank you so much for loading these Nebraska Classics especially the Doc films truly enjoyed every minute!!!
It was such an impressive run, Huskers. 1995 had everyone saying the Huskers were a semi-pro team taking the field
They were a whole different person than any other college football team
Such a 90s video. The music in the background and the narration makes me feel I am at my first day at Burger King and watching orientation videos on how to make a Whopper. Lol.
thanks. i used to watch this vhs 2 or 3 times a week lol
Really. My dad is a die hard NU fan and we watched the orange bowl on a tiny portable tv. Hooked forever
Best team of the 90s ... 95 Nebraska most dominant football team of all time
Rip Lawrence Phillips
@@robjohnson8861 who’s offering you condolences? Don’t see it, worthless troll
Miss this type of smash mouth football...
1:03:52. :(. Always get a tear everytime I hear Brook say that.
Favorite husker? What the hell!
1:03:33
The world is a better place when Nebraska and Tennessee are powerhouses. Much better than Bama and Ohio St.
I miss Tennessee being dominant.
same with my Gators. Sick of seeing Georgia dominate the SEC east with no equal.
1995 Nebraska football, the greatest college football team!
You’re rankings are off we beat 4 top 10 teams.
Roids will do that!
@@robjohnson8861 na they were the best ever. I know you say Florida was unprepared but if they would have played again it may have been worse, simply because now Nebraska knew they were physically more dominant than Florida and had just as much if not more speed
Florida wasn't prepared to play? So what. It's not like they forgot how to play the game, dork sucker rob Johnson. Your 30 IQ brain is laughable with your constant parroting of ridiculous drivel.
All you guys are either dumb or just plain ol'haters. 2001 Miami Hurricanes is Thee Best College Team EVER!
13:49 -- Boy, what a humiliating defeat for that first-year head coach of Michigan State. Hope he lived it down and put something of a career together after that.
Haahha
Haha, I'm sure he did
Love when the WSU guys are talking smack to the Husker Fans on the sidelines, the Fans calmly hold up 4 fingers as in, 4 Quarters in a game.
That was the only regular season game where they trailed after the first quarter. As a matter of fact, the 1995 Huskers never trailed in the last 45-46 minutes in ANY game for the entire season.
I went to the 95 Orange Bowl and saw Nebraska beat Miami for the national championship. Three weeks later I was in USMC boot camp. The following January I was listening to the Fiesta bowl on a shitty am radio in a guard shack in 32 area on Camp Pendelton. Such a contrast from. one year to the next.
95 Nebraska or the 01 Miami team are best 2 college teams Igor has seen. Maybe throw LSU of 19 a close third (real dynamic offense) but God wouldn't you love to see 95 Huskers & 01 Canes play a best of 3? One in Lincoln. One at Orange Bowl and last 1 at Rose Bowl.
most dominant vs most talented
01 canes shouldn’t even be in the conversation. Ironically because they didn’t play the best team at the time which would have been Oregon
@@BigDawg31675 maybe. 1thing for certain is Miami had talent upon talent as did the Huskers from that 95team. Still would love to see that game, preferably a home/ home series with Miami having to come up to Lincoln after Thanksgiving to play in the cold😁
01 Miami team is the best college team of all time period
'01 Miami's starters were loaded with NFL style talent. '95 Nebraska had an extremely specialized program designed to utterly destroy any college team they played, but was so different in style from the Pros that they didn't get as many players drafted as lesser teams, especially on offense. However, their whole team, including their 3rd and 4th stringers, were so well suited for their unique style that they would beat the living daylights out of any team in the college ranks. If you want to see how a top-end team that, like the 01 Canes, was loaded with NFL talent and ran one of the best Pro-style offenses in college football would do against the '95 Huskers, watch their Fiesta Bowl game against Steve Spurrier's Florida Gators. That's what would have happened to the '01 Canes as well...
I met Clester Johnson and he signed my mini football. I didnt have the guts to say "he got to come with me" lol
Watching a minute of this leaves one impression. Im so glad they make them wear full jerseys and tuck them in now.
I love the huskers
Back in the day when Nebraska football was relevant.
RIP Brook Barringer and Laurence Phillips!!
whats the beat or song they play in the intro to the K-State game?
Berringer threw such a pretty ball. He would have been a decent NFL QB. To bad he was taken way to soon.
He died what he loved to so. getting crushed to death and Melted down into fine bone.
best team ever
Not even close to the 80's hurricanes or Alabama this past season.
@@charleslowe2095 right considering that those teams had close calls in games during the season why Nebraska won by 2 touchdowns or more. So yea they’re the better team, but thanks for playing.
Yeah that big 8 schedule was so tough wasn't it. Not!
@@charleslowe2095 right considering the fact the final season of the conference 4 teams finished in the Top 10, which before that time never been done before. So the Big 8 sure went out with a bang. Oh could note 3 teams from that conference won a National Championship, Unlike the Big East football conference.
I'm not a hurricane or big east fan I'm just stating that the hurricanes of 01 would whoop Nebraska they would stop Nebraska's triple option no doubt. Hell you guys thought you were so great in 93 till you met Florida state in the orange bowl. Winning national championships is a thing of the past for big red.
I love 90's Nebraska, I just wish we had HD widescreen broadcast angles to appreciate it. Id pay 50$ for good quality All 22 of Miami Nebraska. Lately I'm able to share NFL all 22...is Nebraska in Chiefs country? I got a lot of 2018-2023 Reid/Mahomes full games on my channel, all the close games win or lose. Except the 2018 Patriots Chiefs games although they were epic, I hated the outcomes, but someone else put them up.
Great! Thanks for the upload.
My little bro was 30. I remember this well.
The mackovika bros were my heros.i was 5 feet and 200. Fullback
13:48 Osborne shakes hands with Michigan State's new coach....NICK SABAN
David Steinle 💥💥 Super handshake power transfer💥💥💥😃😃 Now Alabama is the Red team of dominance.
25.47 is that bill moos scouting the job
Crazy isn't??? Coach Osborne taught Coach Sabin everything he knew.
@@robjohnson8861 more then your worthless ass.
@@robjohnson8861 - "USA Today, ESPN.com, NFL.com, Tallahassee Times..." etc, etc, etc. Nebraska, number one team of all time! Don't forget it Rob. I know how ANGRY you get LMAO! Now be a good little goat and type out a bunch of stats I won't read HAHAHAHA
What makes Nebraska’s 1995 so legendary is not just that they dominated but WHO they dominated
Kansas State? 10-2, #1 in defense that year, won their bowl game 54-21
Colorado? 10-2, won their bowl game 38-6
Kansas? 10-2, won their bowl game 51-30:
Those 3 teams when not facing Nebraska beat everyone else except for round robin (Kansas beat Colorado, Colorado beat Kansas State, Kansas State beat Kansas
Nebraska beat those 3 teams by a combined score of 134-49
Those same 3 teams won their bowl games by a combined margin of 143-57
And that’s not including a Florida team that won the championship next year WITH LITERALLY THE SAME ROSTER
When you throw in 62-24, 4 Big 8 teams won their bowls by a margin of 205-81!
We'll be back!!
Keep doubting Frost! The glory days are to start at Nebraska again!!!! All you haters need to shut up!!!!
You smell of Cuban sandwiches, pickled farts and way too much cologne
just got fired lmaooooo
I have a hat signed by Brooke Berringer, Clester Johnson and a few others and... my sister lol
Do you have the 1996 season highlight video? Another Run For Number One.
My brother in law might have it. I will look into it.
Previously Nebraska running game is so good that its very hard for opposing team...However,nowdays people can predict those moves and counter it.
They predicted Nebraska's moves back then as well. They just lacked the personnel to counter them like they could now. They knew what was coming but were powerless to stop it. Nebraska pioneered the whole "strength and conditioning" aspect of college football, and had a big edge in terms of raw physical power, as well as a crazy deep bench that let them keep going after opponents wore out their starters. The three things that killed Nebraska's previously unstoppable ground game on offense and their terrifyingly powerful and aggressive defense were 1: Changes in the university's athletic department and the hiring of new coaches who favored a more "pro-style" offense, 2: Other teams' Strength and Conditioning programs caught up to Nebraska's in quality and ultimately surpassed it, and 3: the NCAA changed the rules regarding walk-on players, which had been the reason for the Cornhuskers' insane depth, so they lost that advantage as well.
So Bob, Tom and Nick Saban were in the same building....WOW! Who’d think he’d tie both for championships lol
I remember Texas,A&M,TCU,Baylor joined the Big8 to form the BigXII. All the power was in the North. Big Red,Colorado,K-State were extremely tough. Sure Texas won the first conference championship against a shadow of Big Red. Yet they were back @ it the following 4 years. The 95 Nebraska team ma be the greatest of all time.
Ancient history
Don't think the recruiting is there anymore since they changed conferences when texas Oklahoma leave in 25 it will be finished I think
those colorado unis were sharp
Best team ever bar none
Two weeks! Go Big Red
What happened to Terrell Farley
He played for Nebraska again in 1996 and was just as formidable, but at the end of the season he got himself in some legal hot water (drunk driving, IIRC). After that, he kind of faded off the radar.
Why did they change their jerseys half-way through the season? You can see the number’s fonts change
GBR!!!!!
Nebraska these days - a half-decade without bowl eligibility
God I wish that NU would find the top of college football again! At least fighting for the B10 every season.
Who's got the more heart? Christian Peter? We do
We beat the crap outta everyone!! Great time!!!
Rob Johnson still editing comments, and yet by the way, 1991, Erickson won the title with his players so yea. Oh thanks to Erickson, Ray Lewis and Warren Sapp don’t go to Miami, get the recognition which gets them to the NFL and oh yea become NFL Hall of Famers.
@@robjohnson8861 so as freshman, they aren’t those coaches players they bring in? You aren’t making sense, guess what you can try to deny it, but the fact is 91, it was Erickson’s guys that won it. I give it to Johnson’s guys in 89. But sorry the majority of players for 91 was Erickson’s. Any smart man can see it which you are not.
@@robjohnson8861 only thing is dumba$$ is Erickson’s other National Title was 1991 and there was still majority of Johnson’s guys on the team yet. Maybe let smart people that know football actually handle football.
But since you like comparing let’s look at something. 1997 Michigan’s close games Iowa 28-24, Ohio State 20-14, while Nebraska had Missouri 45-38. Now yes Michigan’s best case was Colorado, but let’s look at best performance against final ranked teams. Michigan’s best game was against Penn State 34-8. Nebraska has let’s see oh yea Washington 27-14, Kansas State 56-26, Texas A&M 54-15 and Tennessee 42-17.
Oh another thing I’ve got friends that are Michigan fans, they do recognize Nebraska as champs in 1997. Another thing, your other polls, they don’t recognize that, only AP poll while Nebraska took coaches. See the difference is true fans actually know the actual polls that count. Get over yourself and stay in momma’s basement and suck on your thumb. Don’t go bashing your keyboard now. Hate to have your momma buy you a new one again
@@robjohnson8861 seriously dude, you don’t know anything when it comes to football. Just stop trying, the only thing you’re trying to impress is yourself. You are the greatest example of a troll. And from gathering from fans of other groups, you’re sure good at it. Your momma must be so proud.
Let the people that actually know football handle things while you sit on your computer. No one cares what you have to say.
@@robjohnson8861 sometimes I think you didn’t finish grade school. Maybe think again. Guess what we go by the end of the season schedule and Nebraska finished with the stronger schedule. And better wins against ranked teams. PERIOD!
Also unlike you, as o say before and I say it again, I have friends and they recognize Nebraska as National Champs with Michigan. Get over yourself and just stop while you can.
Maybe it’s time for you to go back to grade school
GBR!
GBR !☠️☠️☠️🌽🌽🌽
Did I miss it, or was the reason for the suspension of Phillips not mentioned? Weird ...
Shut up
Assault on his former girlfriend, 6 games. Osborne tried to help him but too many demons for Phillips
Was Jason Gesser the QB of Washington State when NU beat them in 1995?
AntiMTVMovement It was Chad Davis.
1996 College Football Playoffs
1996 Fiesta Bowl
Nebraska vs. Tennessee
1996 Cotton Bowl
Florida vs. Ohio State
1996 College Football Playoffs Final
Nebraska vs. Florida
1995 National Championship
Nebraska Cornhuskers
We should have 9-10 championships
Makovica was #45 not 22
Joel was 45, but his older brother Jeff wore 22
Then Nebraska joined a real football conference.... 😂. All jokes aside, Osborne made these teams by getting the best out of his players by being a good human being and coach. He is very underrated in college football lore.
GBR
Mike fullman damn
The HOMETOWN Hurricanes, that explains everything when beating any Florida team in Florida.
not if Pat Tillman has anything to say about it
That was the next year, not 1995
WHY IS THERE NOT A 30 for 30 on them?????
26:45 grandma is ready to rumble!
Should be re-titled as "SEASON of Dominance."
Won more games in the 90’s than any other.
@@dwighta8655 Nope. Not correct. FSU was 109-13, NEB was 108-16-1.
Nebraska was the team of the 90's. 💯🙏😇
@@robjohnson8861 dude, you forgot a tie for FSU but nice try, also Nebraska 3 National Championships, Florida State, 2. 90’s belonged to Nebraska
@@robjohnson8861 yet too bad it say once again Nebraska 3 National Titles FSU 2. Sorry to tell you this, guess what I think Nebraska was just happy as FSU.
Sorry I kicked your ass so much, Nick Saban. Ha!
Where's the Florida game?
This video was released before they played that game. I know because I got a copy of it on home video for Christmas that year, and watched it for the first time the day before the Florida game.
Confused, decade but this is just one year, 1995. Where's the decades? Oh, sigh. 5-19-2022
I’d forgotten how truly annoying the old radio announcer was
They bragging about having more fan's in the stands than Kansas 😆 😆 it's Kansas not Notre Dame or Michigan
:/ 1:03:55
:(.
Never be that way again they are done
The U 2001
Was trash, despite the talent they had they miracles to beat Boston College and VT, while Nebraska beat every opponent by 2 touchdowns or more.
@@sorney98 yeah and the hurricanes beat the hell out of Nebraska in the rose bowl that year it was the easiest game the hurricanes played all year.
@@charleslowe2095 course that’s was a different team unlike 95 dipshit. Plus didn’t Miami have a couple close calls against Boston College, Virginia Tech? So much for being a great team. 95 Nebraska won by 14 or more every game. Better team sorry
@@charleslowe2095 plus thought Washington who you scored 65 and allowed 7 would be the easiest? Course some things you forget about.
1995 Nebraska was the best ever.
Uh excuse me but how does a single year translate to a "decade" of dominance?? Sure they had a good run from 93-97 but even that is 5 years not 10.........
108-16 record over those ten years. 3 national titles. the list goes on.
Dropped off considerably after Osborn retired. Yes they made the natty game in 01 but first off shouldnt have been there over Oregon and then proved it by getting creamed.
+ rawn4203 Nebraska had the best overall record in the 90's and the most national championships in the 90's. They never won fewer than 9 games in a season. And anybody would've been creamed by that Miami team on '01. Nebraska did Oregon a favor. Oregon didn't deserve to be there any more than Nebraska. Any team that loses a game has no right to bitch. The same would've been true if Oregon had been selected. Nebraska would've had no right to bitch.
Not to be picky, as Nebraska did have a great winning % for the 1990s, but when you said they had the best winning % of the 90s, I had to check that as FSU was pretty strong that decade and sure enough, FSU had the best winning % of the 90s (tossing out Marshall due to not playing nearly as many games as Nebby or FSU)
football.stassen.com/cgi-bin/records/calc-wp.pl?start=1990&end=1999&rpct=30&min=5&se=on&by=Win+Pct
Good catch. I knew FSU and Nebraska were extremely close in winning %. I thought Nebraska was slightly higher but I was wrong. Those 2 were on a different level in the 90's. Other teams were up and down but those 2 were remarkably consistent.
There was no decade of dominance by Nebraska ,what the hell are they talking about?
Yeah, 5-5 in bowls is not dominance.
@@robjohnson8861 Nebraska along with Michigan and Texas have always been overrated.
@@robjohnson8861 Nebraska along with Michigan and Texas have always been overrated.
@@charleslowe2095 Like I say, Texas will find a way one day. Amazing they never have.
@@robjohnson8861 yet when you run 3 National Championships, and school next to you wins 2, that’s a good-great decade. Course what would you know, never played the sport anyway
Those Nebraska teams wouldn't stand a chance against the 80's hurricanes or Alabama from this past season.
Those Nebraska teams wouldn’t even stand a chance against Ohio State of today.
@@thechristopherfaurisshow Nebraska football has been irrelevant since Tom Osborne retired.
@@thechristopherfaurisshow yet teams copy each other and teams wanted the Nebraska defense, speed and attack. College football is a copy cat. Nebraska learned from the losses to Miami and Florida State, the offense wasn’t the problem, it was defense. One they made the change, they were dominant. Look at the teams these days, Alabama, Clemson why they are consistently in the title hunt, their defense.
@@charleslowe2095 only because Nebraska is the only school not to fire 1 but 2 coaches after a 9 win season. But look at what Nebraska did from losing to Miami in the 80’s. They learned and changed their style of recruiting, and style on defense. Once they did that, they were a great team.
Say you know nothing about football without actually saying you know nothing about football
