actually voting for the 95 as per head to head, since player size and talent probably were better today as per in 71, since players start at age 5 nowadays. no offense to the 71 team. best in era.

Both would be a favorite of mine as it would be to most Husker fans, but the shear dominance, and depth of the 1995 team was something to be hold. Heck, even the QBs were interchangeable without loss.

Arlie Rauch

The game would be interesting, but I think the 1995 team was bigger--it was a different time. So I pick 1995. Both had great heart, though.

Dan Phillips

Beasts! No quarter for the besieged.

David French

The 1971 team was very good but all around the 1995 was and will always be the greatest college team of all time. None of the other NCAA football national championship teams would stand a chance.

K De Backer

Agree. Even though both teams had six players selected in the NFL draft. The deciding factor has to the Tommy Frazier who is ranked in the top 5 of the best quarterbacks to ever play in college.

I do not care HOW the punting is done. Only that it leads to WINS.

Steve Rentzell

If something is broken, what does it hurt to try something different. Insanity- Doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

Danny Purcell

taking full advantage of college rules

Ron Graf

I like this style of punting. With the roll-out, it keeps the defense honest by keeping them in position in case of runs/throws by the punter.

Anything less than a drop kick just isn't trying. Additionally, NU had a punter who averaged 44 yards a kick and he had to transfer for a player to be named later. Maybe get the rugby guy in and set in place before upending what would have been a solid punting game.

Too much hassle (200 miles away) for an unknown event.

Tom Cullinan

The event is a non-starter compared to the structure of actual plays and the support of young men working to find their place on the team.

Richard Johnson

No interest in 7-on-7.

Dan Larsen

Live in Dayton, Ohio! 800 miles one-way.... but I am a season ticket holder. See you during the season.

Ryan Goecke

If I want to see a carnival or a faire I'll go see one. This change shows fear of being a competitor on the part of Rhule and NU Athletics. It's embarrassing.

Dave Kapke

I live in Colorado

Kent Haynes

I can see both sides. But it is losing a tradition.

Bruce Craig

Losing the best recruiting tool of the spring and losing the money it would bring in is not smart in my opinion.

Robert Lloyd

It's not a game. This was our tradition. Not a good decision on Rhule's part.
