Your 91 team with no offense would have gotten rolled in a real playoff scenario. No more Michigan gimmes.
Don't worry some kid from Idaho will get you to the mountain top....
USC is about to take over for the better part of a decade again and there isn't anything anyone can do about it. They are located where the talent lives and Chip will poach just enough to screw over programs like Oregon and UW.
You are so fucked. -

Kennedy, Cunningham, Billy Joe (he lasted at least five or six years, even if he was a lazy flake at times), Bruener, Bailey (sort of a stretch, but he at leasted suited up for a few years), and Kaufman (he played, didn't start).creepycoug said:
While the comment that the 91 team with no offense shows somebody didn't do their homework, I'm struggling to figure out who they were.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:lol just off the top of my head, I can think of four or five NFL players from the 91 team's offense
Kennedy had a real career. If you're counting Bruener then, yeah, he did too. Weren't the rest of the guys either cup 'o coffee or career journeymen? Berry and Bryant didn't really have careers, nor did McKay or Bailey. Who are you thinking about? Maybe Cunningham? I think he started for a while. The real NFL success of that crew, offense or defense, was Lincoln. Almost all of the other guys didn't pan out.
You're probably also thinking of Brunnell, but he didn't play that year.
It wasn't a historic high octane offense, but it was good to great most games. -
Because speed is like crack to the NFL, and McKay was faster.dnc said:
It wasn't one of the greatest offenses of all time but it had 3 first round picks (Kennedy, Bruener, Kauffman), 4 third round picks (Malamala, Cunningham, Hobert, Pierce), two 5th rounders (McKay and Brunell), 6th rounder (Bailey) (how the fuck did McKay go before Bailey?). and 11th rounder (Rongen - yes that's a UDFA now) eight of those picks and seven that would be in the current draft started on the 91 team and whichever TE you don't count as the starter played a very big role. And perhaps the two most well known of them all came off the bench (Kauffman and Brunell).creepycoug said:
Yeah, I wasn't talking about guys who made a roster and sent in play signals. Every school's numbers are markedly different if you include those guys. I forgot about Kaufman. I think Kennedy, Cunningham (sort of) and the TEs had the most success. Most of the other guys didn't get there or didn't really do much for the short time they were around.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:K

Actually, I'd say the offense from that team is SEVERELY underrated. If you look at Washington's box scores from that season, the thing that jumps out at you more so than the defensive stats are the offensive stats. They ran on everybody and threw on most everybody. I think the only pedestrian game the 91 offense had was against a 3-8 SC team. I remember that game. Hobert was off and they just weren't playing well. But every other game I recall, even the come from behind in Lincoln, involved a lot of yards and usually a lot of points.
It was a damn talented offense, and highly underrated as you note. -

At least seven of those guys had legit careers where they started for multiple seasons. Bailey was the only one who really didn't play in the NFL. Bjornson definitely doesn't really count because he didn't play anything but garbage time in 91 and didn't play close to the position he played in the NFL.creepycoug said:

We have very different definitions of "legit". Even Kaufman feels like a stretch. He had two, arguably three, "legit" seasons out of six. Cunningham was a real starter 2 out of 5 seasons. Malamala 1 out of 7.dnc said:

I'm ok w/ short careers. Shit happens. But stars typically make an impact relatively soon and will grab a few pro bowls in their short time, unless they are not popular with the vets, which happens to some guys.
I'd say there was one super star - Kennedy.
Two solid careers: Bruener and Pierce.
One kinda/sorta solid career: Bjornson.
Some guys who watched and situationally made their way into a lineup over a relatively short time.
And a bunch who didn't get that cup 'o coffee.
Citing Hobert is like citing Hall: both were expected to do more and count as busts, Hall more than BJ. Doogs like to shit on Torretta for not doing shit in the NFL and ignore the reality that it was amazing that he was even drafted in the bottom rounds. Torretta was a classic college QB and didn't have the physicals for the NFL. Unathletic with a mediocre arm. Hobert had an NFL body but was too retarded to learn the playbook and made himself irrelevant long before NFL defenses had a chance to confirm the same. Re Hall, not sure what happened there, but I'm guessing he had a cornerback's brain in a safety's body. More fun hitting WRs than TEs I guess.

Meanwhile Tommie Frazier breaks another 11 tackles and is so board with the lack of competition he actually looks back to see if people are still competing. And they weren't.
That was the biggest game of Steve Spurriers career and that Hall of Fame coach couldn't make them try. Mid 90s Nebraska is GOAT imo.
Just as a little refresher, that Florida defense was as soft as the French resistance. That game is the reason Bob Stoops was hired to be D coordinator at Florida. Once that happened, it was lights out.
Phillips was a CLASSIC Nebraska I back. They are unbelievable bullies at what they do until you take it away. What you need to take it away isn't complicated: you need the athletes who can, without struggling, run sideline to sideline with you, and who can handle a physical inside running game, because that explains about 99.5% of Nebraska's offense in those days.
Note, too, how many Nebraska I backs were shit in the NFL once they had to start running between the tackles and actually show some vision and moves. NFL defenses blow that Power I option shit right the fuck up just organically with personnel. Let me explain further. Rich Alexis (member him?) would have been a great Nebraska I back. What ever happened to Rich?
A fast and physical defense could have handled that team. Tommie ran it as good as anyone ever, but you're getting carried away. The 01, 91, 86 and 89 Miami defenses shut that shit down COLD. 91 Washington shuts that shit down COLD. Probably some of the mid-90s Florida State defenses do too - Boulware, Brooks and those guys. No way you're running around them, and if you punch them in the mouth up the middle, they punch back.
You are basing all this hype on a show against a soft as fuck defense.
And I'm not sure where you're getting that it was Spurrier's biggest game. He coached in a few. He beat Peyton Manning every year he played at Tennessee. He beat Gene Stallings at Alabama 5 out of 6 times. And he won a title in the Sugar in 1996. Why is a loss his biggest gayme? You must be a Husker fan.
In terms of GOAT, the 2001 Miami team beats that Nebraska team. Miami was better at more things and had a more balanced offense.
The fiesta bowl was Spurriers biggest game to date. He won the title the following year, but that game was a battle against the undefeated defending national champs while they were still unbeaten.

Not a system back. Good at what he did at Nebrasak - run out of the power I option. It's a different animal than taking the ball and running between the tackles. In addition to being a giant moron, he failed miserably as a pro on the field. His game didn't translate. He was a straight line runner who couldn't create.Doogles said:

You are basing all this hype on a show against a soft as fuck defense.
And I'm not sure where you're getting that it was Spurrier's biggest game. He coached in a few. He beat Peyton Manning every year he played at Tennessee. He beat Gene Stallings at Alabama 5 out of 6 times. And he won a title in the Sugar in 1996. Why is a loss his biggest gayme? You must be a Husker fan.
In terms of GOAT, the 2001 Miami team beats that Nebraska team. Miami was better at more things and had a more balanced offense.
The fiesta bowl was Spurriers biggest game to date. He won the title the following year, but that game was a battle against the undefeated defending national champs while they were still unbeaten.
You must be a dirty South homer to disrespect the mid 90s Nebraska. -
I only gave this post an upvote, instead of a chin, because you're talking smack to an ASU team that beat us on the field. If you had used Cal instead of ASU, then this would have gotten a chin.

He was notably drunk before games all the time. It is what it is.creepycoug said:
Not a system back. Good at what he did at Nebrasak - run out of the power I option. It's a different animal than taking the ball and running between the tackles. In addition to being a giant moron, he failed miserably as a pro on the field. His game didn't translate. He was a straight line runner who couldn't create.Doogles said:
I can respect the 2001 Miami argument, but don't pretend Lawrence Phillips was a system back. He was a man with serious character issues and eventually a murdering problem.creepycoug said:
Bull shit.Doogles said:
Can we hyper analyze this. Look at that 6 foot 220 running back make that cut back, break about 7 tackles, and high step it in. How demoralizing it must be to be an SEC DB and watch a bigger man run past you.Doogles said:
Anyone who doubts Tommy Frasier and Lawrence Phillips in the same backfield can shut the fuck up.Rubberfist said:
So the 1995 Nebraska team was illegitimate because they didn’t win it on the field?oregonblitzkrieg said:Winning on the field is the standard of the current era. You can't 'win' something that's handed out by default. Voted natties are for doogs living in the past. It's all they can cling too after the heartbreaking Bama loss.
Meanwhile Tommie Frazier breaks another 11 tackles and is so board with the lack of competition he actually looks back to see if people are still competing. And they weren't.
That was the biggest game of Steve Spurriers career and that Hall of Fame coach couldn't make them try. Mid 90s Nebraska is GOAT imo.
Just as a little refresher, that Florida defense was as soft as the French resistance. That game is the reason Bob Stoops was hired to be D coordinator at Florida. Once that happened, it was lights out.
Phillips was a CLASSIC Nebraska I back. They are unbelievable bullies at what they do until you take it away. What you need to take it away isn't complicated: you need the athletes who can, without struggling, run sideline to sideline with you, and who can handle a physical inside running game, because that explains about 99.5% of Nebraska's offense in those days.
Note, too, how many Nebraska I backs were shit in the NFL once they had to start running between the tackles and actually show some vision and moves. NFL defenses blow that Power I option shit right the fuck up just organically with personnel. Let me explain further. Rich Alexis (member him?) would have been a great Nebraska I back. What ever happened to Rich?
A fast and physical defense could have handled that team. Tommie ran it as good as anyone ever, but you're getting carried away.

Now he's in San Quentin or someplace like that I think. -
