Prior and Denard running the option would be a thing of beauty. Don't forget Toussaint too.

Kinda weak at WR though, overall.

hey who the hell needs WRs when you have a 4.3 QB (Pryor) a 4.3 RB (Denard) and a really solid #2 RB in Toussaint running RichRod's read option? They'd have probably ran for 300+ YPG. Pryor and Denard each going to get at least 100+ per game- and both average high YPC.

Everyone's favorite HC.

Lawrence Phillips stands alone in Husker history.  Many have said he is the best I-Back to ever play at Nebraska – even ahead of Heisman winner Mike Rozier.  But he also stands alone as the person who did the most damage to Nebraska’s reputation.  Let’s start by focusing on his on-field accomplishments.

Phillips had a strong freshman year, contributing in a number of games.  But 1994, his sophomore season, was something special.  With Tommie Frazier and Brook Berringer out with injuries, everybody knew L.P. was Nebraska’s biggest threat.  Playing at #16 Kansas State, with walk-on Matt Turman at QB, Phillips had 31 carries for 126 yards and a touchdown – all while nursing a thumb injury.  In 1994, he racked up 11 straight 100 yard games, was All Big 8, and finished 8th in the Heisman voting.  His 1995 season got off to an even better start:  359 yards on 34 carries (10.5 yard average) with seven touchdowns in two games.

But when you talk about Lawrence Phillips, you have to talk about his off the field issues. The arrest. The suspension. The impact his reinstatement had on Osborne and the rest of the program. His additional legal issues in the NFL and beyond.  Bernie Goldberg digging for dirt and painting Nebraska as a “win at all costs” school.  We can debate if Nebraska has ever gotten past the damage Phillips did to the program’s reputation.  I think they have, only because the losing in the Solich and Callahan years became a bigger story.  But you know that should a Husker ever be arrested for violence against a woman, the name Lawrence Phillips will be brought up.

no Charles Rogers pic? RIP. one of the biggest Lions draft busts but still to this day the best college WR I've ever seen imo. guy was a complete freak- closest thing to Moss since Moss. And no disrespect to Moss (who played absolute nobodies in 1AA) or Larry Fitz- but Rogers was better player in college imo. Last player from the state of Michigan to be the #1 overall HS recruit in the nation (since Bryce Underwood in '25 class that is).

His catch against Notre Dame, that the defense subsequently squandered might be the best college catch I've ever seen
