Thank you very much for another memorable game upload. I vividly remember this game. Nebraska was talented, tough, deep, well-coached and determined. Just too much for Texas A&M that day. GBR!
I love watching these videos. I grew up a Husker fan. I was born in 83 and these were great memories from my childhood. I hope one day Nebraska can get back to this level. At the very least show come competivness against top teams.
This Nebraska team is overlooked all time behind the '94 & '95 teams, but this team was awesome. This game was their lowest rushing output of the season and they still finished with 340 yards on the ground. The '95 team averaged 7.0 yds/carry as a team which is an NCAA record, but this team wasn't far behind them at 6.4/carry. I wish this would have been a year later so they could have beat the brakes off Michigan in the BCS.
*" I wish this would have been a year later so they could have beat the brakes off Michigan in the BCS."* what did 98 have to do with anything? And if you were talking about 98, MI finished 12th, Neb 19th. Yeah, sure, Neb would have been the brakes off of MI alright. Re *"The '95 team averaged 7.0 yds/carry as a team which is an NCAA record"* Please find another reigning NC team that began there season with this level of competition Day 1 of 95, Osborne faced 5 - 1st yr coaches 4 - coaches with a losing record at the school they were currently coaching at 2 - coaches with a winning record at the blah, blah, by a total of 7 games. So what Neb set a rushing record, any reigning NC would have too with the patsy FING schedule.
@@robjohnson8861 so, you are suggesting that over 70% of sport writers were just plain stupid when they named the 95 huskers the greatest college football team ever assembled ?
@@robjohnson8861 in the 97 season bowls….NU beat the breaks off of the SEC champion Tennessee squad with Peyton Manning at the helm and jammal lewis at running back and Michigan barely beat a WSU team led by Ryan Leaf In 98 Nebraska had a new head coach….new qb….most of their starters gone and we completely lackluster ….I’ll give you that, but we aren’t talking about 98 We are talking about an offensive backfield with two 1,000 yard rushers and if memory serves an 800+ yard fullback AND an Outland award winner on the OL in 97 and they began the year with what most of us believed was a rebuilding year on defense ending up being a top ten defensive squad You have so much Nebraska hate sir and you forget that every major conference had parity issues all over the country until they adjusted recruiting and academic rules to make many of them viable Rules, I might add that were designed by NU rivals to adversely affect us like the gray shirt rule and the BS demands that Texas forced the Big 12 to accept AFTER the conference saved them and A and M when the SWC conference folded Get some facts right ….most major conferences had two really good teams and the rest were complete fodder unless you wouldn’t mind sharing the name of any conference that was loaded top to bottom before 2002? Big 12 had five really great programs even K State was good in 97 You’re lauding a Michigan team that was the perennial power at the big ten usually coupled with a two or three loss penn state every once in a while and a pre urban Meyer OSU
@@robjohnson8861 by writers born after 97? Online dbag bloggers? Even if they were number 4 on YOUR list, is that a bad thing? Lol You are trying really hard to find a flaw in a nearly flawless team and you expect too much from 20 year old men if they ‘barely beat a sub par team’ (paraphrasing you) then they are simply not that good ? Missouri was a sub par team in 97 but they had more heart and more fight than Michigan ever had that year Nebraska got a lot of teams’ best games in 97 Culpepper at UCF almost upset us that year…we had to beat Missouri in overtime etc etc But we also dominated a one loss KSU team that was stacked ….went into Washington and beat a favored husky squad …destroyed a powerful TAMU team ….we can only play the teams that are scheduled What we do in the bowl games and championship games tells the real story Championship games that either the coaches or the writers decide if we are good enough for Seems to me like you are suggesting that hundreds of voters were just giving NU a charity NC nod in 93, 94, 95, and 97 All four of those years still gave us the same teams from the big 8 / 12 so I guess we just had them all fooled Who may I ask is your team, sir? You sound like a Miami fan or FSU fan in my opinion
You can clearly see A and M is a good team. Nebraska was so good this game it didnt matter. This was a great game played by the Huskers and a great team. Enjoy Nebraska fans. This is all we have anymore..History... #sadbuttrue
Nebraska completely demolished A&M. A&M doesn't have that "it", that inner knowing you're better than them. They fail to live up to the hype continually.
I posted this below. I'll post again for your enjoyment and reality check. TX A&M (9-2) was the best of southern division of the Big 12, right. In the AP poll 5 days before this game, there were 7 teams with a 9-2 record. Of those 7 (9-2) teams, only CSU was ranked lower than TX A&M. Why? Maybe because A&M and Slocum sucked.
@@raidersacdc4892 Oh you didn't know. Osborne ran up scores because of his weak competition. Any fool would have seen 5 (9-2) teams were ranked higher than a division champion. What! Really? The only think he could do was to buffalo with outrageous scores, right!
@@raidersacdc4892 I know of three games where he ran up the score. Remember a lot of the games were no broadcast. But here's a good one. Leading ASU 70-28, close to the end of the game (last 6 mins), Ozzy draws up a 39 yd TD pass to make the score 77-28.
@@pretorious700 *"Why was this posted"* No, so Rob could come give you two cornholes (you and Dwight A) a hard time about Neb. TX A&M (9-2) was the best of southern division of the Big 12, right. In the AP poll 5 days before this game, there were 7 teams with a 9-2 record. Of those 7 (9-2) teams, only CSU was ranked lower than TX A&M. Why? Maybe because A&M and Slocum sucked. Osborne 's competition was a joke during 60-3 skip along!
Scott Frost was a pretty good option QB. But as a head coach, he was a bum. Glad he is gone. They wasted 4 years having him as a head coach. Nothing but a loser.
How dominant were the Cornhuskers during their Five Year Reign Of Terror? In 63 games you can recount individually the games they lost. The shocking loss to Arizona State. The Phantom defeat to Florida State, after being ripped blind by the officials. The Big 12 Championship loss to Texas. THAT'S IT!!! A 60-3 record in Tom Osbornes glorious five year finale. Unequaled and unapproached. TO THIS DAY. No program before or since could match it. What was their secret? POWER. SPEED. DEPTH. Even Alabama and Georgia today couldn't control the line of scrimmage as Nebraska could. Not the Miami Hurricanes of the early 2000s either. The team to which they are often compared. If you really want to dominate and separate yourself, Decimate the scrimmage line. That, coupled with unparalleled depth, separated them from any College Team ever. After this destruction, the Cornhuskers pulverized Peyton Manning and Tennessee in the Orange Bowl, 42-17!! The Wolverines of Michigan, who shared the Title with Nebraska that season, were lucky there was no playoff system in place. THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN CRUSHED!!! Any argument to the contrary was lunacy. The most dominant FIVE YEAR STRETCH in College Football History. As the late great Tina Turner sang, "SIMPLY THE BEST. BETTER THAN ALL THE REST!!!"
