The Big 12 doesn't claim the Big 8 history as its own, but the fact that all 8 Big 8 schools stayed together for another 15 years illustrates continuity between the conferences. So even though the charter for the Big 12 only dates to 1996, it essentially is a continuation of the Big 8.

[@huskerhammer6325]

as proof of how good the NU team was one of the coordinators for this CU team said years later that they ( Colorado) had played an almost perfect game. CU only had like 2 penelties and no turnovers(I think) but he said "even with us playing at our top level we were dominated by the Huskers". He wasn't alone in that. Steve Spurrier said after the Gator thrashing that he had never been so dominated in a game either as a player or coach than he was against Nebraska in that 62-24 drubbing. 1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers..Best ever.

[@DefenderAO]

CU played nowhere close to perfectly. This statement by a "CU Coordinator" is false. They had a turnover in the first half and five penalties, and almost muffed a kick in the 1st half and around a dozen for the game. NU couldn't run the ball at all, however, so the CU defensive plan was good.

this was the last game in the series not played on Black Friday, due to Nebraska-Oklahoma no longer being annual and the desire to keep the Cornhuskers on Thanksgiving weekend every year this became a Black Friday matchup in 1996 and remained so until both schools left the Big 12 in 2011

I don't think anyone would dispute that the 5th down helped CU, in that it allowed them to spike it and have more time to come up with a play. But if it was called correctly on the field, CU would not have spiked it on 4th down, but rather hurried to the line to call a play.

And no, head coaches wouldn't go out of there way to correct a mistake that benefitted their team.

[@jimmason2044]

I remember this game very well. In fact I recorded it on VHS. Colorado Coach Rich Neuheisel had his seniors walk down the aisles of the stadium to the field. I believe it backfired because when the Huskers got their first series, Ahman Green took the ball like 60 yards for a touchdown on the first play. The Huskers may not have had a penalty in that game too. The next game was the stomping of Florida by the generally considered greatest team in history at the '96 Fiesta Bowl. 60 something to 24.

[@robjohnson8861]

Not in top 3 anymore.

[@matthewb.skaggs7510]

Philips wasted his opportunities. He was an unreal athlete, great running back and could have been at the top of the game in college and the pros if he’d just gotten over himself.

[@nugzin2040]

The major difference being the fact that Rae Carruth committed his crime well after his days at Colorado, where as Lawrence Phillips committed his act of sexual assault at Nebraska

[@patskers1]

It wasn’t sexual assault, it was domestic violence on his ex-gf

He settled with her years afterward where in the suit she says In October 1994, Phillips allegedly shoved McEwen's head into a wall so hard it broke through the wall, then choked her and would not allow her to leave his apartment. ... 24, 1995, McEwen agreed to drive Phillips, who was drunk, home to his apartment where, allegedly, he forced her to stay and sexually assaulted her.

There is no doubt that Nebraska was the best team in 1995. Even though they were the defending national champion, I believed it was USC with Keyshawn Johnson started preseason number 1. But then they got ambushed by Notre Dame and things did go out of hand. Flrida state was very decent but Gators pounded them.Northwestern was ok, but not sure they can hang with Nebraska.

[@randydubin7118]

+bambang303378 Actually, Florida State was preseason #1 and held that spot for 10 weeks before being overtaken by NU.

[@bambang303378]

No. USC was. It was in the cover of SI magazine. FSU was ambushed by Virginia in Charlotsville (October I think). That defeat marked the first defeat of FSU in ACC. The game was aired nationally in ESPN Thursday night football. FSU was never ranked no 1 in 1995.

[@randydubin7118]

bambang303378 Er, yes, they were. They were preseason #1 in both the AP and Coaches.

[@bambang303378]

Yeah I just checked in Wiki. Its like that. But I think SI ranked USC number 1. I remember buying them magazine at gas station.

[@jfa-px3mu]

***** Yea I remember after they beat Notre Dame, people just assumed ND really sucked that year, but they actually had a decent year, their only losses were to Northwestern, Ohio State, and a close one to FSU in the Orange bowl

[@krakenwoodfloorservicemcma5975]

How could Nebraska be ranked #2? I honestly thought they were the best team in 93,94 and 95. I know the voting is goofy early in the season but still..

[@mikebuckets]

Because the media wlhas always loved FSU. I remember FSu being number 1, losing to ND, and being dropped to #2 the next week.

[@mikebuckets]

It might've been USC but i remember FSU being number 1 before Nebraska took over.

FSU was preseason #1 until they famously got upset at Virginia

[@Brian211978]

wow...one year that a team had to earn their championship playing all the good teams that year!

[@robjohnson8861]

WTF! You obviously did not look up Nebs opponents record in 95. Their schedule was ranked 30th here. www.phys.utk.edu/sorensen/cfr/cfr/Output/1995/CF_1995_Ranking_Schedule.html They played 5 teams with 8 losses. 3 teams with 5 losses. 2 top ten teams that played unranked opponents at bowl time. How could we ultimately measure them if they played power puffs at the end. Didnt face a Switzer team, (nor a good OU team) a Bowden team a Miami team with Johnson's recruits.

[@sorney98]

Rob Johnson WTF dude, do everyone a favor and just shut up. First off wth are you even trying to share here? Garbage? I mean seriously, you just do absolutely nothing but troll every Nebraska page.
