if we had linemen like the 90's and another tommie frazier and ahman green, that would definitely be the way to go. i think this offense will do alright though. nebraska really needs an established running game though, because when you run it a lot, it really takes a toll on the defense. thats a lot of the reason why nebraska was always good in the 4th quarter and would come back and win games that looked to be over. (example: missouri in 1997)
I live in Michigan and really don't care about NU football, but when people ask me who I think the best NCAA football players I've seen are, I still say Tommie Fraizer is very close, if not at the top.
Thank you for the "thumbs ups" and "top comment" honors. Tommie is the greatest-past, present, and future-quarterback. We must find some way to properly honor this Husker Hero, since the Heisman voters failed so miserably.
Gary Danielson did an outstanding job of covering this one for ESPN. His voice ("A skip here, a skip there, and all of a sudden Tommie Frazier's in the secondary!") would be a welcomed edition if it could be added into moments like the option keeper (at the 1:19 minute) where Frazier and Deon Figures collide. The music can just continue as is. This is still great however.
@jasmcc1 i kno rite and thing i'm most proud of is scott frost played highschool football at my school and that school is wood river rural high school and i'm very proud to say that i'm a husker fan to this day... even tho they're a lil iffy now i still luv watchin them play
Lol....Tommie Was good But we got another version of Tommie Known as T-Magic Taylor Martinez He is Another version of Frazier wats great is that he can get so much better too! 2 passing td's and 8 rushing td's in 4 Games! i cant wait to see him in his junior year imaging 11 passing td's and 13 rushing td's in 3 games!
i think he should have been running back. the starter would have been curt dukes, had he not turned down the starting position. i cant believe he did that.
so how do you think nebraska is going to do this coming year, now that pelini has the reigns? i think it will finally actually feel like nebraska football again. it never felt quite like good ol' husker football during callahan's 4 years. ya know?
you do have a good point there, but crouch still would have done better than lord. plus lord started only one year after crouch left, so the team couldnt have been that much different. lord did inherit a tough situation though, i have to give him that. plus he had a lot to live up to since husker fans were so used to having a great quarterback and a great team. he was definitely a heck of a lot better than joe dailey, lol.
lord might be stronger, but from all the football i saw eric crouch play and jammal lord play, to me crouch had a heck of a lot better moves, was quicker, and was actually tougher in that he wouldnt go down the first time he got hit. i guess the way i saw it eric crouch was a heck of a lot better than lord in all areas, and it really translated onto the field and we had a much better offense when crouch was at the reigns. thats just my opinion.
hmm actually i think crouch was all around better. he was faster and he could juke better and he could throw better in my opinion. i dont know if he had a faster 40 time than lord, but it looked like it to me. i think crouch ran a 4.47, but i dont know what lord ran. either way, i would definitely take crouch as a qb over lord. at least lord was better than dailey though.
@Alex427779 Martinez is not Tommie Frazier. Frazier had a grit from day 1 that Martinez just does not have. Martinez may be the fastest QB we ever had, but not so good at eluding tacklers or powering through them like Frazier and Crouch.
Bill McCartney was a very smart guy, but he sure goofed in turning down Tommie Frazier. Talk about a big-time goof. I had heard that Frazier was ready to sign with Notre Dame until Coach Osborne changed Tommie's mind. Tommie Frazier obviously made the right choice to become a Husker. Too bad that his skill-set did not translate to the next level. I also heard that he's tried coaching, but it hasn't worked out well for him.
Eddie George (1995) is the weakest Heisman winner since Rashaan Salaam in 1994. Ha ha. Tommie should have won that by a land slide. I honetly think people were willing to give the award to anyone but a Nebraska player due to the events surrounding Lawrence Phillips, Christian Peter, etc. If the award was given after the bowls, Tommie would have won by a very large margin.
are you kidding me? lord was terrible. he was ok at running but he made way too many mistakes, and when he was quarterback, the offense sucked. crouch was a crapload better than lord.

One of the best college qb to play the game. Why the hell isn't he in the college football hall of fame! GO! BIG! RED!
It is important to remember that he was just a freshman in 1992. Dude was amazing!
Go Tommy Go! My family's favorite husker!
frazier and crouch are the best option quarterbacks that ive ever seen...its a shame that the option attack is a lost art nowadays
Hey! Don't disrespect Johnny Manziel here!
Love Tommie Frazier too. Manziel was out of this world also.
I was at this game - the hate of Colorado was palatable before the game from the crowd. We wanted Colorado to feel pain. They did.
i dont know if tommie frazier was THE best quarterback EVER, but he is certainly right up there, and eddie george does owe him a heisman.
He is so beast.
Just a freshman! Dr. Tom game planned this to perfection!
Tommy gets my vote for Heisman every year from now until he wins it.
I had to turn the sound off because my ears started to bleed when the music began playing.

did he ever get drafted to the NFL? or what happened?
i think he should have been running back. the starter would have been curt dukes, had he not turned down the starting position. i cant believe he did that.
@commenteh whos his cousin?
D: thats terrible! i feel sorry for the guy. i bet he wouldve made a great QB in the NFL
so how do you think nebraska is going to do this coming year, now that pelini has the reigns? i think it will finally actually feel like nebraska football again.
it never felt quite like good ol' husker football during callahan's 4 years. ya know?
How many times will they converge on the pitch man before they finally get that he is probably going to take it him for himself!?
you do have a good point there, but crouch still would have done better than lord. plus lord started only one year after crouch left, so the team couldnt have been that much different. lord did inherit a tough situation though, i have to give him that. plus he had a lot to live up to since husker fans were so used to having a great quarterback and a great team. he was definitely a heck of a lot better than joe dailey, lol.
Quite down, guys - Tommie just scored another touchdown on the Buffs.
And now no one can remember anyway about it; LP and CP were a-ok. All of us louse up once in a while.
lord might be stronger, but from all the football i saw eric crouch play and jammal lord play, to me crouch had a heck of a lot better moves, was quicker, and was actually tougher in that he wouldnt go down the first time he got hit. i guess the way i saw it eric crouch was a heck of a lot better than lord in all areas, and it really translated onto the field and we had a much better offense when crouch was at the reigns. thats just my opinion.
@LordMatt06 Well said and maybe Charlie Ward
No he wouldn't he is an option QB maybe he could convert to reciever or running back
hmm actually i think crouch was all around better. he was faster and he could juke better and he could throw better in my opinion. i dont know if he had a faster 40 time than lord, but it looked like it to me. i think crouch ran a 4.47, but i dont know what lord ran. either way, i would definitely take crouch as a qb over lord. at least lord was better than dailey though.
@Alex427779 Martinez is not Tommie Frazier. Frazier had a grit from day 1 that Martinez just does not have. Martinez may be the fastest QB we ever had, but not so good at eluding tacklers or powering through them like Frazier and Crouch.
It almost seems like he is trash talking to the receiver that just burnt him for 50 yards. Typical Colorado.
@sooner3153 Damn right.

Too bad that his skill-set did not translate to the next level. I also heard that he's tried coaching, but it hasn't worked out well for him.
Crouch was faster, better AND more talented than Lord. I don't believe that Lord ever got a single Heisman vote.
we have 5 national titles
and colorado thinks they have an amazing program
Option Left, Option Right, Option Left, Option Right..
Tommie Frazier > Tim Teabow
imagine Michael vick on the huskers lol 4 titles in a row
Eddie George (1995) is the weakest Heisman winner since Rashaan Salaam in 1994. Ha ha. Tommie should have won that by a land slide.

30-3
are you kidding me? lord was terrible. he was ok at running but he made way too many mistakes, and when he was quarterback, the offense sucked. crouch was a crapload better than lord.
Creed? Really?
Music sucks boooooooo
