well, I was in the stadium for nearly every home game in Rozier's 83 season
I was also in the stadium for Gordon's 400 yard game
both backs are of course very impressive, but if I had to choose one on talent alone for watching those 7-8 games, I should have picked Rozier
it's the eye test thing again, sorry
many of Gordon's runs vs that Pelini defense didn't require much besides straight line speed. The defense was out of position and took bad angles. Many times Gordon was untouched.
