T_O_Bull Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 A dropped PAT is the only thing keeping the 1983 Huskers out of the conversation. What a shame. play 4 more games on Miami's home field and 5 in Lincoln and the Huskers would end up 9-1 against them. T_O_B Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 It's interesting when these things come out, comparing teams from different eras. You can't really compare them head-to-head, player-to-player. Players today are MUCH bigger, faster and more athletic. If the actual '95 and '71 teams played, '95 Huskers would crush '71 in a blowout. But I guess people realize that already and take it into consideration, right? Quote Link to comment
FLU Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 The '95 team was better, IMO. Quote Link to comment
Nexus Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 '71 team member Joe Blahak acknowledges the '95 team: “I don’t get caught up with being the greatest,” Blahak said. “In our time, we were the greatest. But that ‘95 Nebraska team was so much bigger than we were, and they were really fast, too. I don’t know how we would have compared against them, but I do know we had great skill players, and Johnny was the difference that Thanksgiving Day.” Continue Reading Quote Link to comment

bshirt Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Both were superb but the Jet was the greatest ever. 71 deserves it! Quote Link to comment

Hercules Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 1995 Nebraska team vs 1991 Washington team would be an amazing matchup I just did a spit take, and I wasn't even drinking anything! Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 It would be an amazing matchup though. I'd love to see the '95 matchup against any championship team ever, and destroy them on the field. Like I said, amazing Quote Link to comment

Don't act like it wouldn't be a good game. Quote Link to comment
