Eric the Red Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 What the hell, for some of us, it's all we got. Check out this impressive list. Huskers #1 and #2 1. 1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers Record: 12-0 1 vs. 2: Beat No. 2 Florida 62-24 in Fiesta Bowl On a CBS list of the 10 greatest teams, this one was voted No. 1. Football computer analyst Jeff Sagarin also ranks this team as the best college football team since 1956. Want to know why? The Huskers offense averaged 52.4 points a game and also led the nation in rushing (399.8 yards per game). They didn't beat opponents, they destroyed them. Think Mike Tyson and Rocky Marciano at the peak of their careers. 2. 1971 Nebraska Cornhuskers Record: 13-0 1 vs. 2: Beat No. 2 Oklahoma 35-31; Beat No. 2 Alabama 38-6 in Orange Bowl Winning the Game of the Century is the highlight -- mainly because it's the only close game the Huskers played all year. In every other game, they won by a margin of at least 24 points. Just three opponents scored more than one TD. But the key to the season? Return specialist Johnny Rodgers. "Take Johnny Rodgers out of there on kickoff and punt returns, and it probably wouldn't have gone 13-0," acknowledged Tom Osborne, an assistant coach to then head coach Bob Devaney.
