Sporting News names 1971 Nebraska greatest CFB team of all time

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.

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.

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 :)
