The thing that bothers most about that Florida State game in that Orange Bowl was, Florida State was a 3 score favorite and was way overconfident! Nebraska took it to them and outplayed them and Florida State benefited greatly from some lame calls. But that being said, bad calls are part of the game, and Nebraska could have stopped on a 4th down late in the game and badly missed a very make able game winning field goal on the last play of the game.

Makovic made a fool out of Osborne on that Brown play. 2 interceptions up to that point, 4th and 1 from the TX 29 yd line and he passes.

How powerful and deep was this Nebraska juggernaut? They scored two fourth quarter touchdowns against a Miami defense featuring Warren Sapp and Ray Lewis! Two NFL Hall of Famers bled dry by the pounding of the Cornhuskers three deep offensive line. The line play on both sides of the ball won for Nebraska that night. In the fourth quarter Nebraska gained over 100 yards while holding Miami to negative yardage! Notice the professionalism of the Nebraska team compared to Miami. No showboating. All business. Down 10-0 early, even after blowing an opportunity at the Miami goal line. They came back to dominate. In the last five quarters of their bowl games against Miami and Florida, Nebraska outscored them 76-24! The deepest and most powerful teams the college game will ever know. That includes the Alabama powerhouse now. Or the 2002 Miami team. More depth than any team in the history of college football.
