Scott Frost
Eric Crouch
Eric Crouch had to carry the load of the offense. Scott was good too, but had better support and more weapons. Eric was faster, quicker as a runner, better instincts on the option. He also had better arm strength. Scott was bigger and stronger as a runner, a more vocal leader though. Close call

They were both terrific, but if we are comparing players (not teams) - it isn't very close. Eric Crouch could carry a team; he wasn't just 'fast' - he was tough and had a great will to win.

Scott had a better team around him. I believe Crouch was the better athlete and overall quarterback. I would pick him as my QB. Now compare to Gill, Gdowski, Taylor, Frazier...

If Crouch played for Osborne he'd have had even a better career. Not knocking Solich but it was clear the team fell off after Tom Os' departure.

These are impossible questions, but Turner Gill is my all time favorite. He changed the position at Nebraska, and had the ideal combination of elusiveness, toughness, leadership, and passing skills.
He may not be as purely talented, but there is nothing but winning in Scott Frosts veins. He is a champion. That is why he'll be a fantastic head coach too. He is a winner. Simple as that.
ReplyCrouch could beat you with his legs but Frost was the best leader and the toughest.
ReplyBoth were great, but Frost could do everything Crouch did and was more of a leader.
ReplyI'd go with Frost as he was a fierce competitor who wasn't afraid to run someone over when necessary. The national championship was icing on the cake. Why wasn't this Frazier vs Frost?
ReplyActually I would do it Tommie Frazier
ReplyScott for leadership qualities, drive and toughness. While Eric was the better runner, Scott was the better option QB.
ReplyScott Frost was just the better athlete and competitor. He the one with the undeafeated season and National Championship.
ReplyI believe he had just a little more drive
ReplyLeadership!
ReplyCould have picked either one and been happy. Scott wasn't as fast but I do believe he was the tougher runner.
ReplyOne stat matters most.
ReplyHe is a born winner who would do anything to win or help his team. Play offense or defense and do it well.
Replytough call for me, Scott Frost just had or has an attitude about him, he ran angry. I guess the question i would have is what would crouch have done with that 97 offensive line and coach Osborne
