Even as an Irish fan I loved to watch Osbourne's Huskers. The man used what many believed to be an outdated offense but he believed in it , stuck with it and recruited appropriately. They had some truly amazing lineman in the 90's.
I would rate this Nebraska team the 2nd best Cornhusker team ever behind the 1995 juggernaut. Both of those Nebraska squads destroyed great SEC teams in Bowl games (Florida in 1996 Fiesta Bowl and Tennessee in 1998 Orange Bowl).
All of Nebraska’s Touchdowns in order 9:20 Ahman Green does his magic for the first touchdown of the game 14:48 Newcome weaving through traffic and he’s going to return it all the way Touchdown 21:25 Ah Ah Ah Ahman Green Touchdown 30:12 Green breaks the plane Touchdown 46:20 Newcome sideline touchdown 59:09 Makovicka Right down the middle touchdown 1:12:23 Frost Sneak Touchdown 1:16:35 Frost throws to the Endzone Touchdown 1:29:50 Frost pile touchdown
Over 5 years, I went to 3 Husker games. Those were the only games Nebraska lost in those 5 years. I was at each one. I stopped going to Husker games just in case it was me. Had a chance to go to this one, and said, uh, no.
Wow, so I saw this in my suggested videos, didn't know what game it was but thought, "That looks old, I'll bet that's a game from the 1970's! Now I'm feeling old when games that were played when I was a kid now look like old classic games.
One of my favorite games, people don't like blowouts and would rather a close game, nahhhh i wanted Nebraska to score a few more td's, possibly triple digits that's what I wanted
Half as tough? WTF. Ask his ex girlfriend, then girlfriend he was when Phillips dragged her down the stairs and slammed her head into a mailbox. I never have understood him not standing up to Phllips. Shit u have to be tough to play the position like scott did. Why not bring it with Phillips. Like he left his balls in his locker.
Rob Johnson like you would of stood up to Lawerence Phillips anyway. There was more teammates saying how strong he was. They knew not to mess with him. You talk big but yet I bet you couldn’t fight your way out of a wet paper bag
@@sorney98 chicken sh**. Stop projecting your cowardliness on me. Scott was probably over thinking the repercussions from Osborne for engaging Phillips. Scott didn't appear to lack balls on the field.
Rob Johnson please, your on CZcams thinking your so smart. I only comment for fun. You don’t know me you worthless ass. I’m a firefighter-emt training. I’m out helping people . And as far for Phillips, even former teammates were saying that you didn’t want to mess with him if he was pissed.
How many games did we lose to Oklahoma in the last few minutes of the game where they come from behind with some lucky play or just fluky thing and they never once got dinged by the poles they get rewarded we come from behind Force overtime and win an overtime in Missouri and we get dropped that's b*******
Yes he was a good coach, dude Iowa state has the lowest athletic budget in the big 12, even to this day. I'm 2004 they were co big12 North champs. Dan was let go under terrible circumstances, as was Solich. McCarrney, is the only coach in ncaa div1 to coach a 2time 2000+ yd rusher troy davis, by the way he is the best college running back ever, he rushed for over 2000 yards bavk2back, on shit teams. Go clones
@@rickmoreno6858 If you are talking Frank Solich. He was horrible and was riding Osborne's recruits for the first few seasons. 2000 NEB (9-1) ranked #4, lost to KSU. KSU's Synder beat only 5 tops ten teams and lost to 36. 2001 CO 62, NEB 36 followed by Miami 37, NEB 14 2002 Neb's worst season in 41 years, Lost to KSU 38-9 at Lincoln, NEB's worst home loss since 1958. 1-9 on the road against ranked teams, was 12-16 his last 28 games in some stat that eludes me now. there are plenty more. Never hire a coach that does not go looking vs a coach that stays in the shadows for years and years. TN's Pruitt is history after 2022 or 23 UNLESS TN is happy with beating KY or Vandy, but not both in the same season anymore.
@@rickmoreno6858 What a gord head. Dan McCurry was a horrible coach. 16 seasons (fired 17th after 0-5 start), 2-9 win seasons, 3 other win seasons, 12 losing seasons. 5 of those seasons where at North Texas state. 1 tie for conference north. Horrible, just horrible and gave up coaching. If you bring excuses about Iowa State's budget, show us the reports so we can see the other schools.
@@robjohnson8861 and for your information iowa stated tie'd TWICE as coChamps of big12 north, 2004, and 2005. so get your info straight before runnign you mouths
And the next game NEB had to hang on to beat CO 27-24. Game was in the balance till the end. CO needed 25 yds on 4th down and got 22. CO QB torched NEB for 362 yds. MI beat CO 27-3 (notice, no TD). AP absolutely got the right NC that year. Griese said NEB need style points in the game (because of the jocking for #1 with MI) and said NEB didn't get it.
@@robjohnson8861 that Colorado team started the season ranked in the top 10 but was a major disappointment and underachieved for much of the season. I do give them credit for playing well against Nebraska near the end of the season.
Scott frost was a great nebraska quarterback like gill taylor frazier and crouch and alot of other really good QB's as coach osborne was a great coach and mentor to these kids thats why we were so good for so long!!! And dont forget solich as running hacks coach and mcbride as DC!!!
I love Scott but he almost blew the CO game. Needing just 1-1st down to keep the ball and stop CO's furious rally, he couldn't do it. CO had 1 more opportunity and got 22 yds on 4th down. They needed 25. Had they gotten a 1st, very good chance this would have gone to overtime, (if it existed then), or worse. The CO QB lite Neb's porous pass defense up with 362 yds.
and don't forget Milt Tenopir the O-line coach from my Alma Mater Sterling College, Sterling, KS, small school, who coached some of the greatest O-lines the colleges have ever seen back in the 80's and 90's for the Huskers.
Rob Johnson of course OT existed back then, remember the Missouri game? Oh wait you forgot that didn’t you? You really don’t do homework do you. You just keep making the dumbest comments. Honestly stop embarrassing yourself
@@rickjason1786 Michigan was 3 votes from concensus, Neb 31 votes. To listen to Greise, Neb did not get style points at the end of the game and probably cemented the separation from Mi in the voters minds.
Joe Paterno of Penn State was active and had more wins than Osborne at the time. I have no idea who the other coach was that had more wins than an Osborne at the time. Tom Osborne over his coaching career averaged 10 wins ( 255 wins in 25 seasons) per season. No other coach past or present can make that claim!
@@chrisbath3956 prob was Levell Edwards. Ha. Levell and Osborne hold #1 and #2 in bowl losses. Paterno had very good bowl record. So the 255 wins meant sh*t bec Osborne was beating up the Big 8 and losing bowls that validated just how good he was.
@@robjohnson8861 yes I agree that Tom Osborne's teams did not play the toughest of schedules over the course of his coaching career, but along the way his teams have pulled off some great wins including defeating then #1 Alabama in 1977 and #1 Oklahoma in 1978. His last 5 teams had a combined 60-3 record and won 3 national championships. He would have had 4 if his kicker had not botched that field goal attempt late in the 1994 Orange Bowl game against Florida State. It was when he started recruiting players with speed in the early 90s that he started to get more desired results and it showed in the last 5-6 seasons of his coaching career.
Matthew M: What the hell are you talking about? You think us Nebraska fans are going around thinking we're still dominating like this? Iowa State has been better in recent years but not by that much, they're still mediocre. Iowa hasn't destroyed us the last two years so ISU clearly wouldn't since they can't beat Iowa. Your comment overall is a complete joke. Not one Nebraska fan thinks we're anything but lousy so your awful opinion is just fantasy.
Filberto Vandette he thinks knows so much. He’s a sad man in his mother’s basement writing on CZcams comments trying to bash Nebraska football. Shows how pathetic he really is
The week earlier the huskers didn't win that game, that ball was ILLEGALLY kicked, That wasn't a td. Refs gave it to the huskers, bullcrap, and all you husker fans know it

@@rickmoreno6858 if a balls accidentally kicked it's illegal? I doubt they drew that up on paper the defender rolling him, and gravity/momentum caused his leg to collide with the ball I thought
@@nd-mr7om it Doesnt matter if its accidentally kicked. It's a fucking penalty, therefore Null and VOID! It wasn't called for whatever reason and should have been a no catch! Just like when a reciever goes out of bounds, he cannot come back in to play and be the 1st to catch it, if so it's a penalty.
