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?

Randy Weitzenkamp

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

James Bachman

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

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

Play non-conference but not FBS schools

The NFL has a pre season and nebraska should look at it like that. Get the players ready for the season. Conference play. Its a good way to build depth and get experience. They play toigh enough teams in the Big10 not to have to play them outside of the Conference.

Ron

Roy makes a valid point below. I also want to add that until the SEC goes to 9 conference games AND the selection committee starts putting more weight into the strength of schedule, we should keep scheduling cupcakes for non-conference games.

Roy Katskee

Nebraska needs time to develop game ready players before heading into the big ten.

Nebraska is far behind the 8 ball here. If it is measured i anticipate this will help retain more attendance in to the second half. especially if the game is not competative.

Ron

Half the fun of attending games is watching all the other ppl make fools of themselves!

First OFF, I love BEER. I know beer was in stadium pre covid, when thermos, etc were allowed. Often folks showed up drunk. BUT it was not a big problem (student section, etc.) But alcohol has gotten me into trouble and expect it to do the at games. Boo - wait til after game.

Kelly Maas

I hate the idea of alcohol in Memorial Stadium. It will just lead to obnoxious drunks.

Rob Abel

I've seen far too many obnoxious drunks at sporting events. And I like a beer as much as the next guy.

Rob Abel

I've seen so many obnoxious drunks ruin the game experience for many families. And I like a beer as much as anyone.

Mike Schmidt

Probably can't do much more damage than the portal!

The redReiter

There are enough drunk people in the stadium already.

Eric Franzen

I'm worried college games will resemble NFL games, with belligerent, vulgar fans everywhere you turn. College games need to remain a family-friendly atmosphere, where parents shouldn't be hesitant to take children.

Eric Franzen

Dennis DaMoude

I"m not looking forward to it. I already have people sitting around me that either come snockered or bring their little bottles of booze and bother us or even opposing fans by making smart remarks to them. It will not make things better. Dennis

Scott Ferguson

Booze seems to make some people speak before they think. I would guess they will have to increase their security guards and purchase more zip tie cuffs.
