@@mlang28 lol, I would bet you were younger when you listened to Jackson. Seriously, I bet most remember things being better when they were younger and in Neb's case, they were. so the days of Keith calling a neb game where Neb came in ranked high vs Nessler calling a Neb game that rarely mattered. Which one are you gonna remember in a more favorable light ?

This is an interesting team. 1994 Nebraska brought Tom's first title, but I don't know how good the team was at the start of the year. And when they started to peak defensively in October, they were playing backup QBs (admittedly Berringer had some great moments). I actually think that the 93 and 94 Huskers were still getting used to what it took to be great), but managed to win a title in the process anyway. I think Nebraska was probably a better team in 82, 83, 84, and 87, but this team found a way to close the deal for Tom first

After just watching N.U. lose another close game last night (one of many over the last few years), I was reminded of what the great Husker teams of the past had that the teams of the last 20+ years have been missing: toughness, conditioning, speed, swagger, and coaching stability. Admittedly, a Head Coach like Tom Osborne only comes around once every few generations (how many future HOF Head Coaches are coaching CFB teams today?), but he had players who were not necessarily just better than all the players on the other teams...they just excelled at executing his and N.U.'s system. Will N.U. ever come "back" to being an elite CFB power? I don't think so, but then I'm a pessimist. They will eventually get back to winning 8-10 games a season (maybe), but the glory years of the 90s (where they competed for and won Championships) were probably a one-time deal.
