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.

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
