Lynn Sheldon

He did it all and minus a really bad call, he might have earned a national championship.

Steve “S85” T

It was a great call. The reciever dropped it, although it could've been a better throw, and the reciever was open. It was an execution failure not a bad play call.

Sean Kelly

Is this a serious poll? It’s not even debatable. Turner Gill lost 2 games by a total of 4 points.

michael daly

Scoring explosion

James Bachman

Both were very good. The screw job at Penn State cost us two national championships. If we were n/c in 1982, we do not play Miami, in Miami. Additionally, having Gill play freshman football was stupid

Rick Rhoadarmer

No brainer......

Steve “S85” T

Taylor was awesome and a great fit for the option game but I have to go with Gill. I think the better Monday morning QB question would be Frazier, Gill, Crouch or Frost.

Nate Stineman

Turner was the heart and soul of his teams. He was looked upon for leadership by the rest of his teammates. Remember, he was one completion away from winning a National Championship.

James Bachman

No. We beat Penn State and we would have been able to tell Miami to pound sand. Miami was the only team that could have beaten us. Gill should never have played Freshman football. It cost him a year.

Brad Jakubowski

Gill was clearly the better of the two. Taylor was overated but had talent and played hard.

Thomas Johnson

Steve was great but Turner could do it all! He's the best all-around quarterback Nebraska ever had.

Randy Weitzenkamp

Part of the 82 & 83 scoring explosion. Lead a 2nd half comeback in the national championship game falling only inches short. Robbed at Happy Valley in 82. Did Steve ever beat Oklahoma?

James Bachman

Yes. In 1988, 7-3 in Norman. It poured rain the whole game.

Randy Weitzenkamp

Stand corrected. Steve beat Oklahoma in Norman his Sr. year.

Todd Schweiger

Pure football smarts!

Randy Petersen

Turner was the first real option QB in the Osborne era. He took over as a soph QB in a time of trouble (NU record) and provided the athleticism, QB option capabilities, and strong overall leadership.

Richard Vryheid

Great person and player. Of course, he had a great ensemble in the team too.

RΞV

No disrespect to Steve - I love Steve. But.......you're kidding w/ this.......right?

Dan Phillips

Winner and leader

Mark Warsocki

Best record and talent during his time as QB

I don't even understand this question, Ohio State is a better team, a better program, and a national power. Of course I would rather see Nebraska beat them.

Grambo🌽🏈☠️😎

I hate Ohio Fn State

Bob Berg

Picked Ohio state. More national exposure. And, we'll have Iowa s number soon enough.

Paul F Edwards

Iowa won on the last play last year. Which means this year we should beat them just because of improvement. But if we beat Ohio State, that will get so much more national attention, and respect.

Lyle Martin

Ohio is the big picture, Iowa is secondary

Colbey Hicks

If you beat Ohio State you'll should be able to beat Iowa.

Rich Tatum

They have a larger national presence with the fans & media.

Duke Fredricksen

Duh!! It's not just about the west, it's about the whole conference. Take down the current king and recruiting will skyrocket.

Mauro Peterson

Big win early in the season giving the team confidence and momentum.

George Hautzinger

If you can beat Ohio State, the national press will notice.

Richard Johnson

If we get OSU, then Iowa should not be a tougher win. Besides, who cares about Iowa?

Mauro Peterson

Haha! I like that

Losing to Iowa would be a worse loss then losing to Ohio State.

Alex Perry

We need to shut their mouths!!!

Valerie Gilmore

the road to Indy goes through IC, in this case for Iowa, the Ditch Chickens will be greeted in Lincoln, time to start taking control of the West. GBR!!

Mitch Bronston

This will determine the B1G west...if it comes to this...we'll get another crack at OSU in the champ game

Arlis Bartus

Don't want to see another loss to Iowa for the next 25 years

Tom Gilliand

To get to the Big 10 playoff.

Victor Beason

I agree beat Iowa meet OSU and beat them in the Championship if I have to make a choice. Beat them both no discussion.

Steve Vastine

Iowa is the stepping stone to Ohio State. Tired of hearing them pipe up in this border town.

Randy Weitzenkamp

1. Wins in the division mean a lot more that cross division wins. 2. On 11/29, Iowa is likely one of the teams in the B1G west battling for the division title. 3. I live 2 mile from the Iowa border.

Rowdy Cain

this is a no brainer answer...... Iowas in our division, A loss to Ohios St doesn't hurt as bad because they are normally ranked higher and in a different division and we play earlier in the year.

K. L. Krofta

Nebraska needs to get back to the level where we don't even talk about beating teams like Iowa each year. This game should become an automatic "W" each year for the Huskers.

Jason Coorts

Absolutely nauseated by the string of losses to the Hawkeyes. At least Pellini could beat them. Can stomach one more loss to OSU for now.

Edward Massey

A must win for huskers...will be exciting to see.

Arlie Rauch

It's necessary to beat them to win the west. Then go and beat the OSU.

David Steffen

because both wasn't an option

Carl Wiest

It's turned to a nasty rivalry and we need to put a boot on their throat.

I believe it's easier to turn a basketball program around quicker than a football team.
