Lynn Sheldon

He did it all and minus a really bad call, he might have earned a national championship.

Steve “S85” T

It was a great call. The reciever dropped it, although it could've been a better throw, and the reciever was open. It was an execution failure not a bad play call.

Sean Kelly

Is this a serious poll? It’s not even debatable. Turner Gill lost 2 games by a total of 4 points.

michael daly

Scoring explosion

James Bachman

Both were very good. The screw job at Penn State cost us two national championships. If we were n/c in 1982, we do not play Miami, in Miami. Additionally, having Gill play freshman football was stupid

Rick Rhoadarmer

No brainer......

Steve “S85” T

Taylor was awesome and a great fit for the option game but I have to go with Gill. I think the better Monday morning QB question would be Frazier, Gill, Crouch or Frost.

Nate Stineman

Turner was the heart and soul of his teams. He was looked upon for leadership by the rest of his teammates. Remember, he was one completion away from winning a National Championship.

James Bachman

No. We beat Penn State and we would have been able to tell Miami to pound sand. Miami was the only team that could have beaten us. Gill should never have played Freshman football. It cost him a year.

Brad Jakubowski

Gill was clearly the better of the two. Taylor was overated but had talent and played hard.

Thomas Johnson

Steve was great but Turner could do it all! He's the best all-around quarterback Nebraska ever had.

Randy Weitzenkamp

Part of the 82 & 83 scoring explosion. Lead a 2nd half comeback in the national championship game falling only inches short. Robbed at Happy Valley in 82. Did Steve ever beat Oklahoma?

James Bachman

Yes. In 1988, 7-3 in Norman. It poured rain the whole game.

Randy Weitzenkamp

Stand corrected. Steve beat Oklahoma in Norman his Sr. year.

Todd Schweiger

Pure football smarts!

Randy Petersen

Turner was the first real option QB in the Osborne era. He took over as a soph QB in a time of trouble (NU record) and provided the athleticism, QB option capabilities, and strong overall leadership.

Richard Vryheid

Great person and player. Of course, he had a great ensemble in the team too.

RΞV

No disrespect to Steve - I love Steve. But.......you're kidding w/ this.......right?

Dan Phillips

Winner and leader

Mark Warsocki

Best record and talent during his time as QB

Does Anthony Colandrea’s skill set change how Nebraska can design its offense?

Linda Ogren

YES have QB option run pass

Robert Lloyd

He seems more than just a mobile QB, he plays with abandon and spunk. Why wasn't he here right out of high school? But how could we have lost Ekeler? Have we turned into the dumbest program in America?

Ruthie Patterson

Mobile QB

Michael Gross

Running quarterback opens ton on new plays.

Scott Ferguson

Mobility is a good thing to have. Opens up a few things.

John Haller

It better or Holgorsen will need to be the next firing

Joe Hegarty

I sure hope so.

Alexanderthegreatandterrible

Of course, it should since we had a statue QB, once Lateef was in the offense changed to suit his skill set, and so it follows that Dana will tweak the offense to suit Colandea's skill set and with a new o-line coach changes come.

You would HOPE it does but I’ve got zero faith they’ll utilize him the right way

Michigan

Robert Schutt

With 3 of the remaining 4 January games on the road, it will be an uphill climb in remaining playoff undefeated.

Terrence Smith

... and I hope I'm wrong.

Randy Wolf

Michigan.

VAHuskerFan

They r playing really well but I just don’t see them winning out in January, they live and die by the 3 and it’s gonna end up costing them, not much inside the paint game. I see everyone standing outside the 3 line wanting to shoot the 3 but no one ever inside to get rebounds, wont work against Mich

Suicide Slush Puppie

Probably not - that's expecting a lot - but regardless, what they've accomplished is nothing short of extraordinary.

Jerry Goodwin

This team is really good and they will continue to give themselves a chance in every game, but...3 of the next 4 on the road, including Michigan? That's a tough run. If they win out in January and beat Illinois at home on February 1st, they'll be #1 in the country the next day.

Roy Katskee

They are living on borrowed time.
