Turner could do it all. He was equally an excellent runner and passer. And he was a great leader. He would have won 2 NCs if not for 2 terrible calls in the 82 Penn State game and a mediocre D in 83.

Sean Kelly

28-2 with 5 points being the difference between being undefeated.

Ian Paisley

Class and revolutionized the position.

gstegman@cox.net

The best all around. He could throw better than Frazier. His problem was that his defense wasn’t that good and two of the teams top players got bought off.

Rob Wiseman

Gill was magic...The camera crew never knew where the ball was...best option qb of all time Gill.

Lonty Bryant

There is no I in team

Brent Tammy Boettcher

There's not one in MVP, either, but Tommie has three of those, as well.

Frank Johnson

Both were great. I enjoyed watch Turner more than I did Tommy.

I have great respect for Turner and what he has done for the Nebraska football program both as a player and as a former coach. With that being said Tommie led NU to 2 National championships. Turner 0

Livio S Nespoli

He won. Twice.

Mike Petersen

Two NC's, but odd that you didn't include the one who won the Heisman in this discussion.

Randy Weitzenkamp

I'd take Turner Gill everyday of the week and twice on Saturday. I also get that Tommie had much better defensive support than what Turner had. However, in the end Tommie has 2 Natty's.

Scott frost is best.

Kim Brown

He's a winner!

David McClymont

MVP in three bowl games that determined the National Championship. TF was at his absolute best in the biggest games. To come back and play great against Miami after missing 3 months was amazing.

Tony Bunting

I love them both. They are the two best QBs in Nebraska history. Frazier gets the nod because of the NCs, though Gill could have won two, also.

Doug Clark

I think Turner is so close to Tommie in numbers, but 2 Naty’s is a heck of a tie breaker. Tommy won when Turner didn’t.

Rick Chambers

Tommie was the best option Q-back I have ever seen at Nebraska, point blank

Brent Tammy Boettcher

We all know it takes great TEAMS to win the titles, and Frazier arguably had better overall teams. But it isn't just that. He was the MVP of three straight title games. No one else has that.

Joel Schneekloth

This was a tough call. I take Tommy by a hair. Loved Turner Gill as well.

Roy Bishop

2 titles and he made everyone accountable

Sean Fluharty

There was no better big-game QB than Frazier... MVP of 3 straight NCG.

Ron Joseph

I agree. Some years ago, some publication stated that Tommie was the all time best college QB because of leadership & not because of individual stats. Turner was great and really should have had 2 NC

Exactly what Jeremy just said …. duh 😂

No matter how bad it looks, Dannen has to do what's necessary to keep the athletic department in the black financially. That's the bottom line. He can't allow millions in revenue to be lost just to save face.

Live in Nashville and have been waiting for this game for years. TN canceled the first one for the VTech game in Bristol. We need to be playing more elite teams outside the big10. That was what the expanded playoffs were for, more best on best games. Now we look like the typical SEC team, weak.

Kelly Smith

Stadium Reno is a horrible excuse. It is cowardice....

Jeremy Lojack

It's not cowardice. Dannen only recently was given the numbers on when and how much the South Stadium renovation would cost. He made this move to add an 8th home game to keep the athletic dept from losing millions of $$.

VAHuskerFan

It definitely seems very cowardly, very disappointed.

Jeff Barker

Terrible decision

Not all fans live in Big 10 country, and this was the one game on a future schedule that was within driving distance for me. Not to mention the Smoky Mountains would've been a great travel destination for our fans. The "stadium remodel" excuse seems like a cop-out.

Leo Jelinek

Gets Rhule two wins and makes Dannebrog look good.

Bad optics.

Unfortunately, that January slide might be a bit too much to overcome. I hope they prove me wrong.

Jeremy Lojack

With their record, they'll be lucky to sneak into the tourney. NIT seems more likely.

George mcdaniel

It is 50 50 if they will make it or not

Roger Shriver

No great BIG teams this year so they sneak in, get a 9 or 10 seed, and continue their perfect record in the Big Dance :).
