dvdcrr Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 A buddy and I were talking about the all time Husker greats, and if you could build a team with the best at each position. Who would you put at first and second team for each spot? We discussed QB's RB's and defense. When you had this team put together, could any other program in the history of College football compete with the Huskers? I threw out there that to me there would only be a few programs able to fill the spots and compete. Maybe Alabama, Oklahoma, and LSU historically. I can't think of any other programs who would have had the horses in the modern era. What do you think? Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Florida State, Miami, Ohio State, USC all could easily among others. You could take that hypothetical situations a lot of ways, but any top program can probably throw a team of greats out onto the field that most would consider a Who's Who in college football.

NUance Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Miami maybe. If they could keep them out of jail long enough for a game. Quote Link to comment
TJ Alum Husker Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 USC came to mind right away Quote Link to comment
74Hunter Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I thought about this earlier this season, and I would put an all-time Nebraska team up against anyone's. It all starts up front, and we would have OUTLAND and HEISMAN trophy winners that wouldn't even be first string. While the Miami's, USC's, Oklahoma's, Alabama's, Ohio St's, and maybe Notre Dame's would be formidable, I like our chances. 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Miami, Ohio State, USC, Florida, Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma, LSU. All these come to my mind as teams that could put a heck of a football team on the field. Quote Link to comment
dvdcrr Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 I am with you 74 Hunter, I am thinking like Nebraska would have all-pro football players ON THE BENCH. What other program has had that kind of talent come through the doors? Quote Link to comment

AngryHusker88 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Nebraska's all-time defense would be near impossibe to score on, IMO, b/c of the Suh factor Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Nebraska's all-time defense would be near impossibe to score on, IMO, b/c of the Suh factor Suh lining up next to Glover. Wow. Just wow. Quote Link to comment
WhatDoIKnow Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 The important thing is "college football" without considering their pro careers. Tommie Frazier is one of the all-time great "college" QBs, but so many people would want to throw in a guy like Tom Brady. A guy like Aaron Taylor won multiple college awards, but never made it in the pros. Could we have the "not in trouble" Phillips as a backup RB? Quote Link to comment
