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.

gray llama

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

Good job. A lot of good players and a lot from Nebraska

Dick Plock

We are moving the roster and trying to get better! Thanks for hiring Coach Rhule, Trev!!!

Chuck Bolder

Think they did very well considering the time they had to get er done!

Kevin Hilyard

I thought we did really well with the defensive and offensive line, plus the most in-state recruits since 98!

Michael Graham

Top 25 is good.

Scott Thomsen

In short order, Coach Rhule and staff put together a top 30 class. That's a great result for the short time they had to work with. My only pain point was losing Earnest Hausman to Michigan through the transfer portal.

Thomas Wright

Ernnie's lose ! Besides, Rhule is replacing him with some 4 & even 5 star recruits out of Florida. Ernest WHO ? GBR !!!

College football has become a swinging door of opportunity. Don't let the knob hit ya, where the good Lord split ya!

Thomas Wright

Amen Scott … probably should’ve never been playing for us in the first place then ! Who wants unloyal (especially Nebr. native) players anyway …. Can’t wait til kick their A$$ when we play against em ! lolololol

Linda Ogren

Only one player seen time, so should get better

Wade Williams

That's just part of the deal now with the portal, particularly after a coaching change. People may not care too much for it but we better all get used to it because it's not going anywhere.

Jerry Johnson

If they enter transfer portal, they are not willing to work, and play tough. Let them go elsewhere

Dan Benedict

The new staff needs the freedom to get the players that will fit their system. The kids that leave or stay away are no guarantees either.

john brandon

Rhule only wants young men who wish to be at Nebraska ... as simple as that.

Mike Knust

It's the new era that College Sports is in. It happens to every team. It's like NFL free-agency free for all.

Tom Hedlund

They chose to leave, and that's fine. We want players who want to be at Nebraska.

Patrick O'Brien

Coach Rhule needs to build his own team. Players that transfer shouldn't be there anyway.

Stuart Fagan

This is normal for a coaching change. I get it. But I do think that they'll regret leaving as time passes.

James Wyatt

We will find other players who will want to play for Nebraska and all the new coaches! GO BIG RED TILL I DIE!!!!!

Michael Graham

None of them will end up trading up.

Larry Smith

In the spring the head coach and assistants will start their work. They, in effect, will ride the horse upon which they came, the players on the field. It is up to the coaches to either develop those players or to fail. We will see the result in August.

Brian Machan

With the coaching changes, its only prudent for players to re-evaluate their decisions to make sure its best fit for them. If I was a father of a player, i would encourage the re-evaluation process and if they re-commit, Great! Otherwise best of luck to both sides.

Tim Brunswick

Not as of today ( 12/15/22)...But time will tell..Ask us in another 3 weeks...

Gene Baker

I have a lot of confidence in Matt Rhule. And his ability to develop players.
