The '94 Huskers
« on: April 30, 2025, 08:52:51 PM »
I think the '95 Huskers get their due from everyone as being an all-time great team. 
However, I feel like Nebraska fans hold the '94 team almost on-par with the '95 squad or even on equal footing.

Is that fair to say?  Were they as good just because it was finally Dr. Tom's first NC? 
Or were they actually as good? 

My opinion is that we all saw HOW they beat Miami, gut-punching them to death.  But while that Miami team was 10-1 entering the OB, their offense was kind of ass.  Great defense, don't get me wrong, but Frank Costa has a 1:1 TD to INT ratio. 

That '94 team did hang a 70 on someone, and I distinctly remember the 24-7 utter beat-down of CU.  They survived the 3rd-string QB start vs KSU.

I'll still never understand how PSU got shut out of a share of the NC, but that's not the focus here.
What's the argument FOR the '94 team being held in such high esteem?
And is this an odd question for a 13-0 NC team? lol

I guess I don't know any Nebraska fans that consider the '94 team one of the top ___ (pick a number) teams of all time the way they do with the '95 team.

'94 had the moniker of The Finished Business season, due to the way they lost to FSU the year before. They were "great" because they won a natty, but not an all-time great.
