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.

[@sribble1]

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.

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.

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

Cry cry cry

[@pretorious700]

Very obviously there was a huge gap between the first and second teams in the conference that season.

[@robjohnson8861]

Yep, the the gap between #1 OU and #2 Neb in the 80s. Stupid.

[@GoLions67]

That fumble TD called back may have turned the tied sadly. That’s a 14 point swing

[@andrewcramer9200]

Wouldn't have mattered.

[@bambang303378]

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

[@duckbanks2195]

Maryland joining the big ten is good for BASKETBALL, with the way things are lining up, the Big ten will be atop the acc for a long time, with kansas condsiering big ten move as well.

[@beng4151]

10:47. Jeff Mackovicka, #22, smears two Colorado Buffaloes and clears the way for Ahman Green. Perhaps my favorite block from a Husker, although Kenny Bell's block might still be the best...although I'm a bit biased because this game was played on my birthday!

[@andrewcramer9200]

Go back to the KSU game from this same season and watch Mike Rucker murder a Wildcat on the punt return TD.

[@Jackson-pq4zn]

Average block. You’re swinging from his nut sack aren”t you?

[@Steve-dv8zr]

I see that 33 also-rans from hill country just HAD to watch their humble-o's get whooped.

[@jimmason2044]

Tom Osborne and many of the other Big 8 coaches said they would have stopped the officials to check if they had misunderstood where the game was at that point. Many other coaches would have stopped it because they want to win the right way. Just like the commercial with the young black basketball player who said he touched the ball when it went out of bounds. Coaches teach character, and that was a major bad by Coach McCartney. Almost all coaches would go out of their way to correct.

[@robjohnson8861]

Sure, Tom would have stopped the officials to check...Mr integrity this game and Mr win at my reputations sake in the next one. Sure.

[@andrewcramer9200]

@@robjohnson8861 Fuckin' dumbass 🤣 Go watch the Colorado State game from the next season and listen carefully to someone who actually knows what he's talking about (Ron Thulin).

[@Jackson-pq4zn]

Exactly. Honest unless he needed a player for a win, like that sack of shit Phillips.

[@jimbosc]

Skippy Newweasel was out of his depth at Colorado

[@BLACKWALLSTREET98]

Maryland is about to bring down the BIG TEN's RPI rating!

[@vanmcwreath1586]

How good is Bob Griese!

[@jasoncolegrove8633]

Number 21 for colorado ended up being a murderer

[@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.

[@dereklohr1650]

Back when before this hurry up offense spread crap. Look they actually huddled and score the same amount of points as today. Goes to show you dont have to change the game to this pansy shit to be a doninate force. 95 huskers forever!

[@georgehenan853]

They couldn’t score this many points running the option today
