Nebraska Cornhuskers History in the 90s with Tom Osborne, Tommie Frazier and more

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Sorry for the blurry edges, I bought a new light to hopefully improve the green screen for next time. Thank you so much for watching this video about Nebraska Cornhusker football in the 90s. Obviously, there is so much more to talk about but I just wanted to briefly go year by year. What do you think about the Huskers in the 1990s and what memories do you have of Nebraska football?

[@BruceWayne-ri4wr]

There's not a team that's ever walked on a college football field that could beat those '90s Nebraska teams 95 with demolish any team that's ever played greatest football team ever assembled for on the college field One sports illustrated and now writer said they had to report the best teams they'd ever seen in any sport and he said that that was the best team he'd ever seen in any sport was the 95 cornhuskers some people were picking like the 85 bears and stuff like that but that 95 cornhuskers team was the 85 bears of college football they were just so dominant nobody could have beaten them

Thank you so much for the comment. I really appreciate your words. I enjoyed reading your comment. I hope Nebraska can get back to being good again. Enjoy the upcoming 2023 CFB season.

[@gregorypatton4706]

I had to make another comment I had forgotten before Nebraska had just lost seven bowl games in a row 4 to Florida State two to Miami and went to Georgia tech I had noticed it in those games especially the Georgia tech game the defensive lines in linebackers were not only physical but they were speed demons sometime near the end of that bowl game losing streak Tom Osborne started recruiting heavily those type of players around the country then they went an incredible 60 and three the most dominating 40 years in the history of college football winning four straight bowl games and three national titles in that span but even more incredible was the year after they stopped Florida they stomped Florida Florida won the national title in the year after and a&d the year after they stomp Tennessee Tennessee won the national title young man this is one of my favorite segments that you have done very educational and entertaining thanks again every Nebraska fan should download and store this thanks again

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for the comment. I feel bad that I'm responding to it late. My apology. I really enjoyed reading it. Very interesting comment you made about the Georgia Tech game. I will definitely have to go back and check out that game again as it's been a while. But thank you once again. I hope Nebraska gets back to being tremendous again.

Best college football dynasty

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

It seemed like that being a huge college football fan in the '90s as the Hurricanes in the '80s were a little before my time. But anyways, I would put them ahead of Alabama with Saban, and that's just me saying that because I'm not an Alabama fan at all. But I hope as time goes on, the Cornhuskers in the '90s won't be forgotten. Thanks for the comment and watching the video. I really appreciate it.

Great comment. I really enjoyed reading it as I got a good laugh. Sorry for my horrible wardrobe choice. I wish I had a Nebraska jersey from when they won the Orange Bowl vs Miami with that huge Orange patch (I love the bowl game patches). Thanks for spending time watching the video.

[@1977raider]

Good stuff man huge lifelong Bama fan here you hit the 93 Sugar on the nail! Very true about Nebraska they would destroy teams! I'm not sure if they will be back as so much time has passed.Crazy fact them & Bama played each other several times in the 60s & 70s usually in the Orange but they have not played since a regular season game in 1978! I do miss the Huskers them & Miami once the biggest powerhouses are shells of themselves

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for the comment. It made my day that you liked the video. Thanks for the info about Bama and Nebraska. I really hope to do a video next college football season about the 1999 Alabama Crimson Tide team as that was a strange season with Mike DuBose and then do a video about the Dennis Franchione era which was a strange period. Thanks once again and enjoy the upcoming college football season.

[@edwardbookman5791]

As a Nebraska fan, I just want to say thanks for the very concise review of the Husker Football program in the 90s. Of course we're all homers at heart, but it's refreshing to get some perspective from an outsider. Being a college football fan first and foremost, it's cool that you took time to do this type of video. I dig your non-biased approach. It's refreshing. Personally, if I had the wherewithal to make videos about other teams, I'd love to do a video about the 90s Seminoles or the 00s Trojans. Maybe the 70s Sooners too. Shit, there's a whole boatload of dynasties I'd love to delve into. I definitely appreciate your approach. Anyway, thanks for the outsider's perspective, man. It's appreciated.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Edward Bookman. Thank you so much for your comment. It was awesome to read. It made my day. Thank you so much. Much respect to the Huskers. They destroyed my Gators and the Hokies as Nebraska was so good. Everyone may think about the running game at first but that defense to me was so good in the '90s. When I get some time, I want to really watch the games in full vs. Colorado in '89 and '90. Thanks again and thanks for watching the video.

[@Natesastud]

Very good analysis. I appreciated the way you broke down the 90's Huskers. They were so dominate!! The thing people overlook all the time, and I am confused why this happens but actually the Huskers were beasts in the 70's and 80's as well. They won back-to-back championships in the 70's and were always in the national title mix. I know they did not win any titles in the 80's and there are reasons for that but they still destroyed most of their competition. They had actually an amazing 30 year run in my opinion??

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for your comment. It really made my day that you said "Very good analysis". Osborne was amazing, during his 25 years as HC of Nebraska, he never lost more than 3 games in a season in which I think is amazing. But yeah, it seems Bob Devaney I think is often forgotten. But like you said, NEB, they were beasts even before the 90s. Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

[@charismatic9904]

Fun fact. Nebraska almost won 3 straight titles against all 3 fla teams. They were a field goal away. It was like they took on FSU and barely lost so miami was like we got this. Then they lost. So the gators were like stand aside fellas we got it. Then they got smoked.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you Alex D for your comment. I never thought about it like that, 95 - Neb. def. FLA 94 - Neb. def. Mia. 93 - Neb. nearly defeated FSU. And early on, I thought Nebraska would never defeat Florida teams and of course, I was wrong. My mistake on not explaining the missed 45-yard field goal against FSU as time expired. Thanks again, I hope all is well and take care.

[@robjohnson8861]

*"Nebraska almost won 3 straight titles against all 3 fla teams. They were a field goal away."* No they were 2 FGs away. FSU missed a FG in the first qtr. If we are gonna spots points, then both teams get 3 right? Neb fans always the forget the fair part.

[@PallahDaOracle]

In a way Nebraska can take some credit for my Vols title in 98. After they physically whooped us we knew we needed to get a lot tougher to be the best and strength and conditioning became a much bigger point of emphasis going into the offseason. It's really crazy how dominant Nebraska was and many of their players were just a bunch of big Nebraska boys

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Very interesting comment. I never thought about it like that. Sorry to say but I'm a Gators fan but when I think about Tennessee during the Phillip Fulmer era, I would say Tennessee was the best at developing interior defensive lineman and running backs. They were loaded at those two positions. The Vols were really talented under Fulmer. Thanks for the comment and much respect to the Vols.

[@PallahDaOracle]

@@90sSportsNostalgia Yeah Fulmer sure did get talent, but I'd say he underachieved with it. After he won the national title he especially under achieved.

[@mikereal1210]

interesting. I didn't know the gators were looked at as the third team in florida back then. I started payng attention to the sport around 2000 and assumed it's seemed like the Gators have always been the number 1 most popular team by far.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

What's going on Mike. I hope all is well. Yes, in the early '90s it was all Florida State and Miami. Many kids at my school either wore FSU or Miami gear. These two teams had some classic games with FSU losing (Wide Right 1 and Wide Right 2). They were title contenders in the late '80s and early '90s. Florida wasn't as good as Miami or FSU until the '94 season (tied that season 31-31 Choke at Doak game - FLA had a 31-3 lead in the 4th) but they finally beat FSU in 1995. I really enjoyed reading your perspective about the Gators around 2000. Thanks for mentioning that as the early '90s is what I'm reminded of the most. Mike - have a great 2021, be safe, take care and thank you so much for the comment. I really liked it.

[@bloodyknuckleshowandedward170]

Fsu nation wide was more popular the gators have been around longer more fans fsu built huge golllowing In a short time I mean if there was a college playoff fsu would of went like 12 years in a row speaking of Nebraska tommy Frazier was so talented wish we had a playoff back in the 90s so many Miami fsu rematches 93 notre dame fsu rematch potentially great video

[@bingobango2487]

more dominant, 96 Tommie Frazier or 09 Ndomukong Suh?

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Bingo Bango, what's going on? Thank you so much for the comment. Obviously, it's easier for a QB to make more of an impact, but Suh was outstanding in that Big 12 Championship with Texas but I do want to say this: I think Eric Crouch's 2001 season was phenomenal leading that team to the Rose Bowl. That 2001 Huskers team did not have close to the talent as some of the teams in the '90s, but he was so good in 2001. I think it was the best season a Nebraska QB had in my lifetime. Thanks again so much for commenting and watching the video. Enjoy the 2021 college football season.

[@gurusrant7474]

Nebraska will never be what they were in the '80s and '90s again. They had their chance to keep rolling when Turner Gill was available and they turned him down for the job? He was the reason people like Tommy Frazier was coming there and all of those other players. Tom Osborne is not there and you going to have a hell of a recruiting pitch to get a black kid to come to Nebraska when he can go so many other places where he's welcome and accepted and not just looked at as a player on the field. Don't think that the black players did not take note of that we do have a circle here... But this was a good piece to reflect on what you used to have and will never have again. Turner Gill should have definitely got that job after solich.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thanks a lot Guru's Rant for commenting and watching the video. I really appreciate it. Turner Gill from what I heard is a really solid person, when he was the head coach at Buffalo, there were reports that he really cared about his players and took a huge interest in them. I wished things would have worked out at Kansas but that's such a difficult job. I also did want to say something about the walk-on program as I heard something like this: Michael Lombardi said that Nebraska boosters would pay for the in-state talent's tuition so they could free up more scholarships and therefore, Nebraska could really focus on out of state recruiting. That doesn't seem right and I couldn't get any more information on that. But anyways, even though Turner Gill was before my time, he is someone that I really respect and was always hoping we would succeed as a coach. Thanks again and enjoy the 2021 college football season.

[@coreytumulty816]

60-3 from 93-97 with 3 national championships and a missed FG away from 4. Also only lost 1 reg season game and zero conference games in that span!

Thanks for adding in the extra info Corey. Those 5 seasons were during my prime of watching college football and Nebraska was so tough and therefore, it was surprising to see them lose when they did lose. Enjoy the 2021 college football season.

Thank you so much Certified Guy416 for your comment. That's an interesting topic.

I will definitely write your name and your topic down. I did a 2002 Packers video and I did a video in 2000 Bears vs. 49ers, but I hope I will do a Packers vs. 49ers in the 90s.

[@j_r_3404]

Think about this: Nebraska was 2 scrimmage plays away from winning 5 straight national championships. '93 missed FG vs FSU to lose the title. '94 win vs Miami. '95 win vs Florida. '96 Texas converts on 4th down to stun Nebraska in the first ever Big XII title game. '97 win vs Tennessee to share title with Mich. If not for that 4th down convert in '96 Nebraska was slated to battle FSU in the Sugar Bowl over the Gators due to Florida's loss in Tallahassee. And I believe the '96 Nebraska team would have defeated that '96 FSU team. It was a phenomenal stretch in the 90s and they did it with old school football in a modern football world. Very impressive.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for the comment. Great comment. I apologize for replying to it late, but you are correct, 2 plays from scrimmage from winning 5 straight national championships. In the video, I mentioned Nebraska had some special aura, as Nebraska football just seemed different in the '90s from everyone else. That would've been fun to see Nebraska vs. FSU in 1996. But that Texas play on 4th and inches was one of the most memorable college football plays ever for me. I still can't believe Texas won that game. Thanks again as I really enjoyed reading your comment.
