So crazy! Damn near every Husker starter on this team either went to the NFL or is in the Husker Hall of Fame. Majority are in the HoF and went to the NFL. Ahman Green had a 1k season as a Frosh and didn’t even start! Many of the 3rd stringers on this team were later incredible starters in 97 who won the NC and went to the league too!
I'm a die hard Tennessee Vol and I've been watching CFB since the late 80s. In all those years I've never seen a team as dominant as that 95 Nebraska club. They were men among boys.
I’m a Georgia fan enjoying our success right now. But there is no way we would stand a chance against this Nebraska team. This was the greatest college football team ever.
@@markstepanekii388 Well. We didn't get our 3-peat. If we got in the playoff we would've. But if we win the natty this year. That's 3 out of 4. And a dynasty.
No, we don't really miss them. We prefer the incredible levels of parity that exist today, versus back in the day with ridiculously dominant teams like this one. We also prefer high-flying aerial attacks, not the Midwest corn-fed grind-it-out on the ground type of boring football. But we DO need more coaches with the integrity and honor that Tom Osbourne always had.
Going to the big 10 for the big money was the dumbest thing Nebraska ever did. They will never be a contender again. Money has ruined college football.
They absolutely mauled Florida. A college football team that can never be matched-past, present, or future. Think with an unbiased perspective for a second. O-Line, D-Line, O and D backs. Pure speed and strength with a game plan devised by one of the greatest coaches in collegiate history. No NCAA team since would have been able to take them. Astounding.
@andyeighttre In the discussion of college football, that's an argument to be had, as well as LSU 2019. Personally, I would pick Nebraska but I'll admit I just a little biased. 😊
Incredible team. The only one that comes to mind that could compete because of their offensive balance and defense that COULD TACKLE is the 1986 Miami team. That’s about it.
In a testament (one of many) to how good this Nebraska team was, Florida still finished #2 in the final poll despite getting completely destroyed in this game.
Not really bc that just means the gap between the top 2 and the rest was perceived to be so large that no matter how badly NEB beat FLA, nobody had a hope of moving past FLA. And I absolutely believe NEB was EASILY the best team in the nation that year.
Tommy Frazier vs. Danny WurefelI!! Classic!!! totally remember this back when I was 9. Tommy Frazier was a hero of mine back in the day. Thank you for this👍💯
@@krispowell8647 Tommie was special coach Tom Osborne beat Lou Holtz of Notre Dame to get Tommy Frazier to commit to Nebraska . Till this day Coach Holtz says Tommy Frazier was the one recruit he wish he never lost
I'm a Penn State fan who strongly believes the 1995 Nebraska squad was the greatest college football team of all time. They toyed with the Gators! Tommie Frazier was the greatest QB to not win a Heisman Trophy (most over-rated trophy of all-time).
Boy Nebraska fans miss these days 😪 😂😂Honestly as a OU diehard I always thought of Nebraska as our biggest rival ever so many games that decided conference and National Championships that's the rivalry I miss the most
This is what many of us NU fans miss the most as well. The Big 10 doesn’t understand that a rivalry can’t be designated by the conference, they are developed over years of close games fought in the trenches.
@@Redraven2967no offense but no Big Ten fan base really thinks Nebraska belongs or should be in the Big Ten.. Oklahoma always has been and always will be more of your rivals than Iowa
I recall working with a Florida fan who thought the Gators would slobber-knock Nebraska. I told him Weurful would be sacked at least seven times. Yep, that was the number at the end of the game. He claimed Nebraska couldn't run with the Florida receivers, I told him Weurful would need time to throw the ball. HAHA...that was funny. With the dominant defense, and the overpowering offense, Florida learned what it took to win a National Championship, not all "Fun and Gun," but a little balance. IMHO it was easily the most dominant championship game ever, considering when it was played. Finally, this Nebraska team is often selected as the greatest college football team ever.
@@godawgs7098 No. it was a 24-21 loss. The bcs at the time made them play again in the sugar bowl. If fsu won they were the champs and undefeated. ASU would of been the champs if Ohio st wouldn’t of beat them in the rose bowl with a fsu loss. So it worked in Floridas favor
Florida won the title the next year in 1996, but Spurrier says that his 95 team was his best team that he had at UF. And they got beaten down that badly in this game. That's how much better Nebraska was than everybody else in the 1995 season. No question in my mind - best team of all time.
I am an LSU fan so obviously I have been happy with the results of the new style of College Football, but I definitely enjoyed the style from the early 80’s until the early 2000’s.
I never liked Nebraska non whatsoever, but i respected them. This 95 Nebraska team is in no doubt the greatest of all time in college football. When you know exactly whats coming & you can not stop itbecomes demoralizing. 300 yards passing vs a team with 300 yards rushing is a stark difference in an outcome. Why Nebraska ever fired Frank Solich is a complete mystery.
This Nebraska team was one of the first teams fans wished they could have played with on a video game. Their defense was so nasty and I thought their defense was better in 1994 than 95
Will never forget this game. Nebraska rolled so big it made Florida's record going in look like a fluke. At no other time under spurrier do I recall Florida getting whipped like this.
Tom Osborne was a great coach. He was way better prepared for this game than Spurrier was. The penalties for Florida was a lot and Spurrier drafted all now offensive plays for this game, rather than doing what worked for them all season long. Osbourne was a lot like Jimmy Johnson as well. His philosophy was a big O line and running the football, with an overpowering defense. Osbourne and Jimmy Johnson even rotated Defensive lineman the same way to keep the players energized and fresh, like JJ did with the Dallas cowboys in their back to back Super bowl wins, etc
In reference to Nebraska, as a Husker fan since the early 80's, they won't be "back" until they're winning no less than 9 games a season, making teams afraid to play them, being a consistent variable in the national championship discussion, being in the top 5 in running the ball, always being ranked, etc. Nebraska was so good for so long it became normal. Winning only 9 games in a season was a "bad" year. Not being ranked in the top 10 was a failure. But It can easily be argued that I'm spoiled and that my expectations are too high.
Meanwhile, ESPN was running their mouths claiming that Florida was going to run circles around Nebraska and Sports Illustrated had cartoons claiming that Florida had the racing cars and Nebraska had the steamrollers. Both ESPN and Sports Illustrated got put in their place.
man I miss growing up watching these huskers.. the Nebraska players today don't even look like football players.. its sooooo sad.. it look like they've never seen a weight room.
Ahh the National Title game that saw the QB damn near singlehandedly smoke the other team. Tommie was such a beast player, damn shame he didn't win a Heisman...
This just goes to show how insanely OP the 1995 Huskers were. This Florida team would have won the NC in an ordinary season (and most of them did go on to win the NC just a year later). The 95 Huskers would have done similar things to any hypothetical time-traveling "all time great" football team, including Husker teams from other seasons. One of their early season victories was a 50-10 road blowout of a Michigan State team coached by some guy named Nick Saban. The Huskers' depth was unbelievable, especially at running back. Despite losing Lawrence Phillips to suspension due to his criminal behavior, their bench was so deep that they didn't miss him that much on the field, as they had Clinton Childs, Damon Benning, James Sims and a true freshman named Ahman Green who ended up carrying most of the running back workload after Childs and Benning both got injured. While the star power was heavy all around for the Huskers, the real reason they were able to steamroll anyone they played and not only won all their games but won them overwhelmingly (they won every game by at least 14 points, were only outscored in a half of a game once...the second half of the K-State game due to the Wildcats scoring 3 TDs late once the game was already decided... and only trailed on three occasions the entire season, two of which were in the first quarter of this game) was because they were crushingly dominant in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Despite the fact that all but one of the starters from the NC winning 1994 O-line (nicknamed "The Pipeline") graduated and had to be replaced in 1995, the 95 line was actually BETTER! They gave up zero sacks on the season (though the fact that the Huskers of that era didn't pass nearly as often as most teams helped them accomplish that). The defensive line was just as terrifying for opposing teams, as the opponents' O-lines would get overwhelmed and shoved in all directions, opening gaps for linebackers like Terrell Farley and Jamel Williams to overwhelm the backs.
The old ball coach was hard headed going into this game and it was to late to repair that blitzing of Nebraska, one year later FSU def head man Micky A went to Nebraska to learn this def scheme and use it in 96, went 11-0 and beat Florida last game of the year. Florida stayed under center with their QB and changed to shotgun for the NT game in the rematch. Added a extra blocker and boom ball out quick and offense went for 52 pts. Old ball coach said after the game he should have done this for Nebraska, not saying he would have won the game but their offense would have had a chance to produce but he added our defense had no answer for Nebraska offense that was insane.
3:26 when the spread offense was in its infancy. It didn’t stand a chance against the defensive line Nebraska had. These days nobody plays defense with 4 linemen. It’s one defensive lineman, two linebackers, and the rest are defensive backs.
People say the 2001 Miami Hurricanes are the Greatest of all time. The problem with that is, they didn't have that good of a coach and he just road on Davis Team he built. While 1995 Huskers had Tom Osborne, I believe with the better coach. 95 Huskers beat Canes
Osborne is better than than Coker, but the staffs aren’t all that different otherwise. Never mind the fact that the 2001 Canes would overwhelm Nebraska with superior talent. Miami would wear Nebraska down and break them. You can’t be one dimensional and beat the 2001 Canes.
Terrell Farley excelled at confusing offensive linemen at where he went so fast and teaching opposing QBs what the field surface they were playing on tasted like... That said, there was one Husker who was on Nebraska's first two NC winning teams who was sick in multiple senses of the word. In the 1971 "Game of the Century" between #1 Nebraska and #2 Oklahoma, Nebraska's star receiver and eventual first Heisman winner Johnny Rodgers not only opened the scoring by running a punt back 72 yards for a TD to open the scoring, he also puked at the end of the play due to how hard he ran to get that score!
As soon as I heard Nebraska was moving away from being a running team, I knew it was going to end in disaster. And the sad thing is, the powers that be haven't figured out that it was a monumental mistake.
Fans pulled the goal post out of the stadium at the end. I was working on mill ave in tempe that day and night. So many drunk fans from both sides lining the street.
For all of Spurriers wins, for all his running up the scores, for all his stupid comments, not teaching his players how to play defense and for all his perceived domination the dude won ONE national title ( and needed Ohio St to upset ASU in the Rose Bowl to have a chance). The same as Gene Chizik, Larry Coker and Ed Orgeron. He wasn't in the same stratosphere as Tom Osborne. He had a gimmicky offense, no defense and would be shut down by teams that actually hit you and played fundamental football. He won the national championship the next year because he played a Florida State team that was all gimmicky too.
😂😂 they tied with 6-4 North Carolina, barely beat Virginia, barely beat Clemson, barely beat NC State their most impressive win was a 24 point win over #19 Nebraska.. heck even Texas, Georgia, Michigan, Alabama and OSU this past season wouldve beaten them. we see teams look more dominant than that every season.. but now that i think of it maybe you were joking
I don't care what anyone says. LP was the most perfect specimen for running the rock. God and he had the vision too. Something must have spooked him in the NFL......maybe he thought he couldn't be dominant so it wasn't for him? I don't know. Dude had 400 lb squat legs vigor and the moves... I don't think there will ever be a better born athlete to play the RB position but I do for sure believe there will be be hundreds of better minded athletes to play it. But they won't come close.
His off the field stuff held him back so much. He would show up to rams practice drunk apparently. If he was dedicated i think he would have been a HOFer
Man, Spurrier seems to have known it was over as soon as Phillips sprung loose for that second TD. Then the safety right afterward? It was only 15-10, but there was no coming back, haha
Steve can we talk sometime? I saw the pain unfolding in your eyes. This was never supposed to happen. Wasn't even possible. No way choke Nebraska could come in and do this. I know brother. I know.
He really did. I'm a Washington fan. I actually thought it would work at the beginning of the first season. Then it dissipated as it went on. Ruined Patrick Ramsey. The line never came together even though we had an all pro in Jon Jansen. The second season was a wash. from the beginning.

Lee Corso picked the Gators because Nebraska had not played on grass all year...
Florida fucked around and found out.
University of FAFO
Fans pulled the goal post out of the stadium at the end. I was working on mill ave in tempe that day and night. So many drunk fans from both sides lining the street.
I forgot how good Florida O line was. Ole ball coach did not account for untouched defenders.
The anticipation of the chain gang....miss these days
1995 NU vs ‘01 Miami would be THE game!
And Miami would lose. No one could score on this defense, and the way they ran the offense miami would hardly ever get the ball
It might look similar to this game
Most people don't realize how good the 1995 Florida team was
2023 Michigan Wolverines would beat them
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂@@jonjhon8491
@@andywhitesell1256 To be fair the 2023 Michigan Wolverines were a very good team, I think they are neck and neck with 2019 LSU Tigers
For all of Spurriers wins, for all his running up the scores, for all his stupid comments, not teaching his players how to play defense and for all his perceived domination the dude won ONE national title ( and needed Ohio St to upset ASU in the Rose Bowl to have a chance). The same as Gene Chizik, Larry Coker and Ed Orgeron. He wasn't in the same stratosphere as Tom Osborne. He had a gimmicky offense, no defense and would be shut down by teams that actually hit you and played fundamental football. He won the national championship the next year because he played a Florida State team that was all gimmicky too.
What a stupid take, and I hate the Gators 😂
Spurrier was a great coach. I hated him during this game but he was good overall.
“HOW MANY TACKLES CAN ONE MAN BREAK?!”
My wife bought me a picture that has the audio recording of that in the base. It's AWESOME!
Tommy was special. I love that dude ….
I think it was 7
1990 GT squad was by far the most dominant team in college football 😂
They certainly should have won it outright
😂😂 they tied with 6-4 North Carolina, barely beat Virginia, barely beat Clemson, barely beat NC State their most impressive win was a 24 point win over #19 Nebraska.. heck even Texas, Georgia, Michigan, Alabama and OSU this past season wouldve beaten them. we see teams look more dominant than that every season.. but now that i think of it maybe you were joking
@@kev614 sarcasm isn’t your strong suit 😉
Those were the good old days
5:55 game starts
I might be wrong, but I think that game was responsible for the term BEATDOWN.
Spurrier was a grasshopper to Osbornes' sensei.
Memories of my childhood
I got to see Kresser win a natty with Marshall in Huntington... dropping dimes to Moss. It was vs Montana
Huh?
That's probably the best Division I-AA team of all time
I remember this game. I was shocked by Nebraska's dominance!
If you were shocked you just didn’t pay attention to college football that year
@@joshuamcclellan4942tons of people thought nebraska couldn't compete with Florida's speed
@@CornHuskers402 They said the Same about Ohio St and Miami in 2002
Nice toss Bill
Florida with two good drives to start game ..
I get feeling some people didn't like nebraska
I don't care what anyone says. LP was the most perfect specimen for running the rock. God and he had the vision too. Something must have spooked him in the NFL......maybe he thought he couldn't be dominant so it wasn't for him? I don't know. Dude had 400 lb squat legs vigor and the moves... I don't think there will ever be a better born athlete to play the RB position but I do for sure believe there will be be hundreds of better minded athletes to play it. But they won't come close.
His off the field stuff held him back so much. He would show up to rams practice drunk apparently. If he was dedicated i think he would have been a HOFer
That Jamelle WIlliams sacks was the beginning of Spurrier's egg cooking career. He's still cookin eggs.
2:14:01 - Tommie Frazier's big touchdown run.
I used to hand an autographed poster of this run.
Man, Spurrier seems to have known it was over as soon as Phillips sprung loose for that second TD. Then the safety right afterward? It was only 15-10, but there was no coming back, haha
Bill Cosby with the coin toss… yup this didn’t age well.
Watching this is like watching Tyson beat opponents in the 80s.
49:30 is where the flood gates was opening, the safety really got it going for Nebraska
Steve can we talk sometime? I saw the pain unfolding in your eyes. This was never supposed to happen. Wasn't even possible. No way choke Nebraska could come in and do this. I know brother. I know.
Jim Nantz called college? Wow
How old are you? Or should I ask, how young are you? 😂😂😂
@@terrencedavis9921 thankfully young enough
He took over cbs games when burnt hamburger went to abc
2:32:44 Brook Berringer takes over at QB
Hard to forget tommy frazier trucking through the whole defense on 1 run
UF got stomped
Steve Spurrier went to the NFL and stunk up the place.
Nobody fuckin cares.
He really did. I'm a Washington fan. I actually thought it would work at the beginning of the first season. Then it dissipated as it went on. Ruined Patrick Ramsey. The line never came together even though we had an all pro in Jon Jansen. The second season was a wash. from the beginning.
