I digress? Seeing Steve Spurrier almost in tears was the most satisfying to me. I lived in Houston, when the Oilers had 11 NE players on the team. They couldn't win the big one. The press called it the Nebraska Curse, when we couldn't finish the season off right. Mike Rozier got got shooting off a gun in his truck at the time? I decided I wanted to "Be Like Mike"? lol. Wifey was driving the Buick Grand National. I rooled down the window and popped one off my Glock. HOLY SCHNIEKIE? Thank God my hearing was stuffed? So I didn't have to hear what the wifey was yelling? Flash was blinding? NEVER did that again? lol. I no longer wanted to be like Mike.
@@broncobra Great Comment...but i respect Spurrier and the Gators, I'll never like the Canes and wish we'd have beat the Gators by 3 and the Hurricanes by 40.
@johnfruechte3265 I believe Osborne utilized both quarterbacks. Frazier in the 1st and 4th quarters, Beringer in the 2nd and 3rd. I swear I heard or read somewhere that that was part of the game plan. Rotating QBs to keep them fresh and rested. Now, keep in mind, the game was played almost thirty years ago, so I might be remembering fact or an urban legend. 🙂
@Michael Miller Smart Man. No wonder his daughter divorced you. Who in their right FING mind wanted to go see this BEFORE the game. 0-7 in the last 7 bowls, Neb was awful.
@mas5867 and a very smart person whatever way you seing(not judging) would date a a little boy still living in his momma's basement making stupid comments on TH-cam.
Miami's defense played great for 52 minutes, then their fuel tank abruptly hit "E". Also, it's a bit weird seeing Erstad as a football player, given he was a World Series winner later on.
I was born in 84' so I remember how good Nebraska was in the 90s and even still have a SI with Frazier on the cover....don't remember this game at all but from the very beginning I thought "they are going to wear Miami out" and it didn't happen until late but it happened!
I like Miami fans. They shared a bunch of coke and had this big sack of batteries and we were throwing them at some coaches all game. It started a tradition of saving batteries to throw at people during games parades. Movie theatre screens Shriners You name it
I remember my heart sinking when Miami scored to start the second-half and we had those two turnovers. Thought it was going to be another year of "close but no cigar". But the D kept holding and Tommie came-in get the O rolling, incredible game.
can you imagine if Neb had lost how much air time the turnovers and all the excuses Neb fans would have come up with. Things happen for a reason. Winning to shutdown crybabies, who would have thunk it!
Y'all having better cover corners than in the past and the use of the 4-3 full time won y'all the game. Unlike prior games with Miami, y'all got after their QB, hit him, hurried throws and caused incomplete passes

@@wallstgovernment this team was a juggernaut of epic proportions every play was like a runaway locomotive look at the plays even when they get like an 8-yard run everybody's just barreling down field like an over out of control avalanche and that's how it was from 1993 through 97 Nebraska was an absolute wrecking Ball to the history of college football they destroyed everything as far as dominance goes that any program had ever done greatest run in college football history those five years but really greatest run in 40 years Nebraska from 1962 to 2001 was never below nine wins
@Bruce Wayne There is a graph that tracks each confs strength of schedule as a whole. From 78 to 95, the BIG EASY was in a nose dive in terms of strength of schedule. In 95, only the MAC had a easier schedule than the BE. Of course Osborne could win 9 games a season with teams he faced most of the time. Google strength of schedule by conference historically or something like that.
@@mas5867 yep the biggest mistake nebraska ever made to the football program, not the bottom line was to join the big ten. They have never been the same. It is easy to see why, the strength of schedule in the big 8 days meant oklahoma, perhaps oklahoma st. and the bowl game. That said, nebraska had great teams, supported by the walk on program, and the, then state of the art weight lifting, perhaps a little steroid use, and a great coach.
The physical aspect of this game is something you will never see again. Both teams left it all out on the field. As a ball carrier you knew that if you hesitated at the wrong moment that a defender was gonna make you eat your own teeth. Playing with that type of mentality changes the game completely from where it is today. It was just a different game back then, not so long ago though.
Whut. Miami was spent against WA when they lost their home streak and never recovered that season. Go watch it. Update: See my next post. Miami was very overrated that year.
@Ryan Doyle LOL How the other 10 teams that Miami beat that year finished. FSU, 1 loss, #4 BC, 7-4-1, #23 VT, 4 losses, #24. Syr, 4 losses, unranked GS, 5 losses, unranked Rut, 5 losses, unranked WVU, 6 losses, unranked ASU, 8 losses, unranked Pitt, 8 losses, unranked Temple, 9 losses, unranked Miami beat 1 team that finished in the top 20. And lost to WA that finished unranked after they lost to 3 unranked teams. And remember, Bowden had a losing record to every Canes coach with a NC. 0-4.
@@mas5867 Excellent cherrypicking work. But most teams are like that. Look at who they beat and you only see 1 or 2 really quality wins. Most teams in college football suck. Nebraska: only two quality wins. Colorado and Miami. Penn State: basically none. No one they beat finished in the top 10 in the final AP poll.
@@BookClubDisaster Here were the top 5 teams in the last regular season AP poll of 94 and the number of teams each played that finished ranked in the top 20 at the end of the season. #1 Neb, 3 # 2 PSU, 4 # 3 Miami, 1 # 4 CO, 2 # 5 FL, 1 and 1 tie Miami had the worst showing just in 94. But, I'm a Neb hater and 94, like 95 was a joke of a season. Teams rarely have just 1 quality win.
Warren Sapp was an ABSOLUTE MONSTER. Imagine a defense with Ray Lewis being the 2nd best ! Oh and throw in Hollywood’s future #1 star in there with Dwayne The Rock Johnson 🤣🤣🤣
Warren Sapp has said in past interviews this husker team was best they played. He said LP was a grown man running the ball & stronger than anyone he played against. 4th quarter the U was gassed. Both of their lines were weak in the 4th.
@Headless Horseman Gino Toretta. Lol. He threw 19 TD' with 7 Int in 1992 and wins the Heisman. Garrison Hearst should've won it. That 1992 Miami team didn't have nearly as much talent as the 1994 team of Warren Sapp, Ray Lewis, James Stewart (and the Rock)
*"Warren Sapp has said in past interviews this husker team was best they played."* If this Neb team was the best they played then what can be said of the AZ in the 94 Fiesta that both Sapp and Lewis played in where Miami never crossed the AZ 40 yd line, which meant Miami never scored AZ 29, Miami 0

@@Northstadiumhusker*"He'll take the two National Championship rings any day."* I seriously doubt that. Eddie George's signing bonus was probably a hell of a lot more and given the fact that the blood clots ultimately ended Frazier's career, that big bonus would have come in handy.
I am a Bama fan, but this is by far the most satisfying victory of any team outside of my Crimson Tide. I was so glad to see Osborne get that elusive NC and for Miami to get shut up again, like they did versus Bama in the 1993 Sugar Bowl.
I remember that Sugar Bowl game, especially when that Miami receiver got all cocky running for the endzone and your one Bama D-back caught up and stripped the ball from him. I LITERALLY fell on the floor laughing.
Envy and Jealous is unbecoming Bama fan! Florida football led by Miami changed and elevated college football to what you see today. So some damn respect!
College football change and Nebraska football didn't keep up. Smash mouth football was the Huskies call too. Now college football is pass and spread offense. Not a fullback halfback and two tightend. Them days are long gone.
If they are patient with Scott Frost for 2-3 more years. They need to beat a couple top 10 teams to get confidence back. The program confidence will be the start of momentum. The fans will always be there. Hopefully soon they will become a regular top 10 team once again. O

The "Black Shirt" defense, "Speed Kills, Strength Punishes", held serve long enough for the offence to beat Miami's defense into submission. #40, with the crew cut and two TDs put the game over the top. Life long Husker fan and this was one of the finest moments. Had waited for this over all of the years since Rich Glover and Johnny Rogers won the National Championship! Go Big Red!
Jamal Greasy 2001 was not MIAMI best team , it was there best team that won a championship but the greatest MIAMI team was 1986 with Jerome Brown , Alonzo Highsmith, Michael Irvin, Bennie and Brian Blades, Vinny Testaverte, Mel Bratton , George Mira Jr , Daniel Stubbs , that whole team went to the NFL and most of em was All Pros or Hall of Famers, 01 was a great Canes team but 86 those guys were immortal in Canes history and college football history, everybody in the country will remember the Fatigues

@@rooh5825 you’re dreaming. Can you please explain why Nebraska refused to play Penn State when a celebrity (Garth Brooks if I remember correctly)tried to setup a game between them? Penn State was all in for it, but Nebraska wouldn’t do it.
What did Miami in was the costly fouls. It was evident that Miami didn't screw up as much, they may of had a few FG in and would of forced a different ending. This was my first Nebraska Football game. I started watching them and kept going from this day. However, the past 20 years has been difficult and I actually have quit watching as they made me angry and wasn't enjoying them. Road the high all the way to the bottom. If Frost cant do it, Nebraska needs to just go back to Triple Option FB and play like the old days to make the fans happy.
What a game; I've only been watching CFB for 5 years and I've seen this one 3x. Husker I formation Option with a devastating O line; the apogee of 30 years of Osbourne; Miami being Miami with guys like Ray Lewis; it's as exciting as CFB; hell football in general gets in the 90's. Besides 1997 Superbowl; 98 NFC championship games. Games Also on TH-cam; also worth downloading and seeing 3x...rewinding every big play!
Don't cherry pick. Watch Miami get their ass handed to them the 2 previous bowls AL 34, Miami 13 AZ 29, Miami 0 (Sapp and Lewis were both there. Miami never crossed the 40 yd line) and then ask yourself, why in the F am I wasting my time with this, Erickson sucked with his own players.
@@robjohnson8861 yet with majority of his players he won a second National Championship so don’t start with that bs. He’s the only Miami coach to win 2 National Championships.wether you like or not, he’s the only one. Plus he also gave Oregon State their best season ever in school history.

These two teams had very different personalities. 1)Miami had a very tough hard hitting defense and challenged and tried to intimidate their opponent with their toughness and violence. 2)Amazingly Nebraska's defense was even tougher then Miami's 3)Nebraska's offense never backed down, wasn't intimidated and just kept coming at Miami with relentless power football 4)Amazingly Miami, and both sides of the ball, eventually couldn't handle Nebraska's onslaught and folded when the chips were on the line as Nebraska just kept coming and never eased off the throttle.on both sides of the ball. The contact in this game was something fierce, like an Ali/Frazier fight with violence and heart

The conditioning of Nebraska's defense was truly remarkable. While opponents' defenses wear out under pressure, Nebraska's shows little letup in the fourth quarter. People don't talk about this much, but it won a lot of games. Conditioning is crucial.
And to think they fire frank solich cause he could only win 9 games a year, he had the last laugh, the next 4 coaches were laughable, they couldnt get them to a bowl game
It's hard to believe Solich was let go for Bill Callahan. In his 6 season with Nebraska, Solich totaled 58 wins, which was more than either coaches Osborne or Devaney had in their first 6 years. Callahan did have a 10 win season, but that was in his first year and he did it with Solich's players. Although his overall record doesn't indicate it, he is the worst coach in the history of the program. Husker fans will never forget the embarrassing 73-31 loss at home to K-State in his last year. And that was coming off a 76-39 loss to Kansas the previous week, so that told you all you needed to know about Callahan. It was obvious the team was no longer respected him as coach and his time was all but up.
@@pappppie A: They never had a 10 win season under Callahan. B: They beat K-State 73-31 and C: His first year was 5-6. 2004: 5-6 2005: 8-4 2006: 9-5 2007: 5-7
Solich was screwing coeds, and got one, the daughter of an influential booster, pregnant. THAT was the straw that broke the camel's back. If Solich was so good, why has he been stuck at some po-dunk nothing college for the last 20 years?
Getting baptised with the mists of pepper spray by horseback police officers pulling people off the streetlights on 72nd and Dodge is something ill always cherish.

@@bretyeilding9215 I watched the 5 minutes of that game the other night, I just remember the refs had a bad night overall. I definitely remember a bogus call on Nebraska's punt return for a touchdown. Don't you think the Orange back in those days were so much better! I know it was generally the same 8 teams or so, but that old Orange bowl stadium had personality!
Bullshit calls on our return td that got called back and the td FSU was given even though they fumbled and there was no way the ref saw the ball cross the goalline before the fumble.
The thing that bothers most about that Florida State game in that Orange Bowl was, Florida State was a 3 score favorite and was way overconfident! Nebraska took it to them and outplayed them and Florida State benefited greatly from some lame calls. But that being said, bad calls are part of the game, and Nebraska could have stopped on a 4th down late in the game and badly missed a very make able game winning field goal on the last play of the game. Us Husker fans should be thankful we won 3 out of the next 4 national championships, but that game will always bother me!!!
Nebraska had a great 6 yr run....3 straight yrs of NC app going 2-1 vs the state of Florida 3 major schools a field-goal away fro 3-0....a Rickey Williams James brown miracle big play away from 4 straight NC app in a row.
So, FSU missed a FG too. Wouldn't it be more honest to mention that bec if you do, then you have a problem. If FSU had made theirs, then that last drive Neb would have been down by 5. No way they score 6 pts from where they were on the field. LOL. Makovic made a fool out of Osborne on that Brown play. 2 interceptions up to that point, 4th and 1 from the TX 29 yd line and he passes. Although Neb had dropped 7 places after the loss to ASU, they would have still be in the NC hunt had they beaten TX. Poor stupid Osborne.
1:25 Dang; right out of the gate you see Cory Schlesinger murk some dude with a block and knock him out on the kickoff return. Great game! I was 12 years old and watched this with my Dad. We were pulling for Nebraska since Pitt was hot garbage back then (and kinda still is lol).

This was a hell of a game, Mia outplayed Nebraska but didn't finish the game and fatigue caught up with them, this was 1 hard hitting game classic game
What fu-king game were you watching? Miami got physically beat up. Savagely mugged! Once Nebraska figured out the defensive scheme the Inferior “Lames” were running on defense they spent more time on their backs than a cheerleader with a bad reputation. The Orange and green bi-ches did not like getting run over. Especially the fact Nebraska administered a beat down to the front seven. Never mind the Miami offense. They were indecisive about the gender identity.
I remember watching this game live. Costa was under pressure the whole second half and just a few highlights are shown. Corn fed Nebraska and the massive Schlesinger just steamed rolled Miami in the 4th quarter.
Okay, you got back-to-back defensive plays from 1. Ray Lewis and 2. Warren Sapp. It don't get no better. And who is backing up Warren Sapp on the bench? The Rock, that's right Dwayne Johnson. It's a classic.🎉
Mitch Harpenau Miami was just inferior. To small. To slow and weak physically compared Nebraska. When you get physical beat up the way Miami did one play would have made no difference. If you believe that you are truly ignorant. Penn State would have put 50 points on the weak ass Miami team.
@@dohcsmr1175 Penn State wouldn't have beat the Canes in their own backyard, clown. They had a soft defense and played hardly anyone that year... That's why they went undefeated and shutout of the title in the end. And to call Miami "slow" shows how truly ignorant you are.
Dwayne Harris is the true hero of this game. If he doesn't get to Costa and hit him as he makes his throw when the wr was wide open late in the game, that's a td, and I don't think Nebraska wins if they score there.
When Frazier advanced the ball to 25 late in game you knew they were not going to pass but run it down miamis throat .....real, old fashioned brutal running game ....glad to see Ray Lewis and Sapp get pushed around
@@ryannorman8898 It was his first game back from blood clots. He missed most of the season. Berringer started played through collapsed lungs. He had an NFL arm with option running. If he had not passed away in a plane crash he was getting drafted. It is sad to be honest.
This may have been Miami's best defense of all time, with two future NFL Defensive Player of the Year in Warren Sapp and Ray Lewis. That just goes to show how good this Nebraska offense was. And then in 1995 they got even better. Best team of all time.

No, no. After this game see Osborne's CROCK of S interview where he said that Neb felt Miami was the best team they could have faced. God, that man grates with his comments that would have insulted a 4th grader.
I don’t remember who the celebrity was that tried to make a Penn State vs Nebraska game happen. I do remember the Nebraska coach saying no to it. That tells me all I need to know about who was the better team.
Any kid born in the mid 90's only knows Nebraska as a garbage bottom end of Big 10 team. What happened Husker fans? Shoulda kept Frank Solich, at least he was 10-2 every year
PENN STATE SHOULD HAVE PLAYED THEM NOT MIAMI..PENN STATE HAD 6 PLAYERS IN THE NFL THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS . THE ONLY REASON PENN ST DROPPED TO #2 IS BECAUSE OF THE INDIANA GAME..3RD STRING PLAYED.
This really wasn't a great Miami team (And Ray Lewis doesn't stand out much on the tape here) but they had WARREN SAPP. On Nebraska's final two possessions, they ran directly at Sapp only once - on a Frazier roll-out - and had to double him to do that. Sapp totally dominates almost every single block by Stai, the left guard, who was an All-American! Meanwhile, Miami's offensive numbers in this game are downright lousy; although NU had an excellent defense, the Canes didn't do that hot offensively against anyone. Sapp almost singlehandedly made an average team into a national title contender.
Wrong look at the whole Miami Def 4or 5 became stars in the NFL and well over half the Def went to NFL this by far was1 of if not Miami s best def.ever.
@@randytwidwell7418 Miami had a great defense. And they had the guy who should have won the Heisman: Sapp. Miami DID NOT have a great TEAM. To have a great TEAM, you kinda also need to have an offense. And Miami's offense was average at best in 1994 in general and ATROCIOUS in this game.

That was beautiful football. I would live to see that Nebraska option style come back against today's defences set up for the spread offenses. When that option was hummin its was a thing of beauty. The physicality combined with the technicality and sophistication of all the different blocking and running schemes is a symphony on grass.
This was the season in which Osborne figured out that he had been giving his team too much time off in December. They would lose too much of their timing in the handoffs and option reads, but once he fixed it, Nebraska really started rolling harder than ever.
Exhausting. I remeber watching this game and going crazy. Now years later watching again I need a nap. Seriously. I've yet to see a game that was so physical, brutal where everything was left on the field.
I feel like Nebraska never caught up with the way modern day offense is played...in their heyday, they were a power run team..once those days went away, they never seemed to adjust..it also didnt help that they left the B12 and lost access to Texas for recruiting
@@carsonc29 They were one of the last premiere power teams to consistently run the option so I agree. They have a showcase game vs Northwestern in Dublin Ireland, so it's a perfect opportunity for a great start to the season.

I was born in 84' so I remember how good Nebraska was in the 90s and even still have a SI with Frazier on the cover....don't remember this game at all but from the very beginning I thought "they are going to wear Miami out" and it didn't happen until late but it happened!
I was there. Miami fans were being obnoxious, as usual, for the first 3 quarters. They got quiet in the 4th.
I like Miami fans. They shared a bunch of coke and had this big sack of batteries and we were throwing them at some coaches all game.
It started a tradition of saving batteries to throw at people during games parades. Movie theatre screens Shriners You name it

Yep thats exactly what it was, too much thugary dancing wore them out warren sapp danced his way to a loss, go husker,s
I remember my heart sinking when Miami scored to start the second-half and we had those two turnovers. Thought it was going to be another year of "close but no cigar". But the D kept holding and Tommie came-in get the O rolling, incredible game.

@Bruce Wayne There is a graph that tracks each confs strength of schedule as a whole. From 78 to 95, the BIG EASY was in a nose dive in terms of strength of schedule. In 95, only the MAC had a easier schedule than the BE. Of course Osborne could win 9 games a season with teams he faced most of the time.
Google strength of schedule by conference historically or something like that.
@@mas5867 yep the biggest mistake nebraska ever made to the football program, not the bottom line was to join the big ten. They have never been the same. It is easy to see why, the strength of schedule in the big 8 days meant oklahoma, perhaps oklahoma st. and the bowl game. That said, nebraska had great teams, supported by the walk on program, and the, then state of the art weight lifting, perhaps a little steroid use, and a great coach.
The physical aspect of this game is something you will never see again. Both teams left it all out on the field. As a ball carrier you knew that if you hesitated at the wrong moment that a defender was gonna make you eat your own teeth. Playing with that type of mentality changes the game completely from where it is today. It was just a different game back then, not so long ago though.

He was the most dominant player on the field that night. Just blew up the Nebraska O line on most plays.
Warren Sapp has said in past interviews this husker team was best they played. He said LP was a grown man running the ball & stronger than anyone he played against. 4th quarter the U was gassed. Both of their lines were weak in the 4th.

I am a Bama fan, but this is by far the most satisfying victory of any team outside of my Crimson Tide. I was so glad to see Osborne get that elusive NC and for Miami to get shut up again, like they did versus Bama in the 1993 Sugar Bowl.
I remember that Sugar Bowl game, especially when that Miami receiver got all cocky running for the endzone and your one Bama D-back caught up and stripped the ball from him. I LITERALLY fell on the floor laughing.
Envy and Jealous is unbecoming Bama fan! Florida football led by Miami changed and elevated college football to what you see today. So some damn respect!
This game gets my vote for greatest game ever.
Hater. Lol
Didn't Miami dominate bama in the 1990 sugar bowl ?
And then Nebraska and Colorado gave up on the option. And have sucked ever since. The end...
Nebraska won 3 national championships under Osborne with the run game. I will never understand why they gave it up.

And to think they fire frank solich cause he could only win 9 games a year, he had the last laugh, the next 4 coaches were laughable, they couldnt get them to a bowl game
It's hard to believe Solich was let go for Bill Callahan. In his 6 season with Nebraska, Solich totaled 58 wins, which was more than either coaches Osborne or Devaney had in their first 6 years. Callahan did have a 10 win season, but that was in his first year and he did it with Solich's players. Although his overall record doesn't indicate it, he is the worst coach in the history of the program. Husker fans will never forget the embarrassing 73-31 loss at home to K-State in his last year.

No, no. After this game see Osborne's CROCK of S interview where he said that Neb felt Miami was the best team they could have faced. God, that man grates with his comments that would have insulted a 4th grader.
I don’t remember who the celebrity was that tried to make a Penn State vs Nebraska game happen. I do remember the Nebraska coach saying no to it. That tells me all I need to know about who was the better team.
What a physical war! Elite athletes on both sides. Came down to defense & field position as cliche as that sounds.
Also, conditioning. Nebraska better conditioned and Frazier was well rested.
3rd and 9 with 6:46 in 4th. WIDE WIDE WIDE open for the win
SteelBuck 6 Thanks for these. Brings me back to being a high school kid in the 90s.
That was a gassed Miami team. No legs late in the game.
Nebraska looked like they could go another 2 quarters.
Saw Ray Lewis running his mouth dancing and showboating early in the 4th quarter. Didn't see him doing that at the end. F Miami and it's thug program.
Thug program! Really! Good luck with recruiting Husker fan! You wish Nebraska was were Miami is!
You do realize Lawrence Phillips was at Nebraska?
@@Manny-nm8dh Where is he now?
When Cory broke for that TD tied at 17 the miami defense didnt even know he had the ball till he was almost in the endzone already lmao😂😂
AC Tellison getting hurt and missing DT Pat Riley complicated things for the canes. RIP Lawerence Phillips. Brook Berringer Coach Osborne
Never gets old watching this...finally vindication of Osborne's greatness..and a thorough ass whipping of the thug squad...
Any kid born in the mid 90's only knows Nebraska as a garbage bottom end of Big 10 team. What happened Husker fans? Shoulda kept Frank Solich, at least he was 10-2 every year
Love the upload...and especially seeing Nebraska beat the Canes
34:42 Wow...football is game with such a fine line between winning and losing sometimes...
Nothing better than watching the Cocky, Loudmouth, Prisonyard Hurricanes get their clock cleaned. Go Huskers!
-From an Oklahoma Sooner fan
Erstad was key for the Huskers
PENN STATE SHOULD HAVE PLAYED THEM NOT MIAMI..PENN STATE HAD 6 PLAYERS IN THE NFL THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS . THE ONLY REASON PENN ST DROPPED TO #2 IS BECAUSE OF THE INDIANA GAME..3RD STRING PLAYED.
The no fun referees penalizing Miami for celebrating. Refs were old red asses dinosaurs that didn’t understand the youth.
Nabraska and Tommy Frazier beat Ray Lewis and Warren Sapp them too alone makes a hack of a defense...
This really wasn't a great Miami team (And Ray Lewis doesn't stand out much on the tape here) but they had WARREN SAPP. On Nebraska's final two possessions, they ran directly at Sapp only once - on a Frazier roll-out - and had to double him to do that. Sapp totally dominates almost every single block by Stai, the left guard, who was an All-American! Meanwhile, Miami's offensive numbers in this game are downright lousy; although NU had an excellent defense, the Canes didn't do that hot offensively against anyone. Sapp almost singlehandedly made an average team into a national title contender.
Spot on. Look at Miami down the stretch. They barely beat 2 teams several others blew out.
Wrong look at the whole Miami Def 4or 5 became stars in the NFL and well over half the Def went to NFL this by far was1 of if not Miami s best def.ever.
@@randytwidwell7418 Miami had a great defense. And they had the guy who should have won the Heisman: Sapp. Miami DID NOT have a great TEAM. To have a great TEAM, you kinda also need to have an offense. And Miami's offense was average at best in 1994 in general and ATROCIOUS in this game.
@@aaronrider4051 well here we go another Miamian who can't admit they ever got beat we only beat ourselves same with N D and OH St. Let met tell you brain something in Football you can either EXECUTE OR YOU CANT. Your either out scored out techniques physical sized strength and speed out characteredor just have a bad day unlucky. Why was this a historic game you don't really defeat an opponent with west coast passing you just out score when you win like Nebr.did you have DISTROYED YOU OPPONENTS WILL TO PLAY ANY MORE. This was far worse than what Alabama and Penn St Boston College Washington did. NEBRASKA DISTROYED MIAMI PERIOD. Name a better Miami team. This Miami team could have beat the others cept maybe the L Coker team they had no competion. What and look at your great team and QBs when they lose you will see and learn more.
@@randytwidwell7418 For the record, I detested Miami and prefer Nebraska.
Also, you write like an insane person.
How James Stewart did not make it in the NFL is beyond me.
Steriods and people knew it. I don't know how old you are but Nebraska was being investigated.
He was drafted by the vikings, if my memory serves me right, he played a year or two before a career ending knee injury.
I see what Nebraska football is desperately trying to get back to those days. They were an absolute force to deal with.
Nebraska could beat anybody back then. They were elite. Nobody out physicaled them.
That was beautiful football. I would live to see that Nebraska option style come back against today's defences set up for the spread offenses. When that option was hummin its was a thing of beauty. The physicality combined with the technicality and sophistication of all the different blocking and running schemes is a symphony on grass.
They’ll have to add in the physicality too. Nebraska was very physical on both sides of the ball.’
Couldn’t agree more. The option run with talent is a beautiful rhythmic low risk offense
Against Florida the next year, Nebraska actually used the spread offense at least once--and ran the ball beautifully out of it.
This was the season in which Osborne figured out that he had been giving his team too much time off in December. They would lose too much of their timing in the handoffs and option reads, but once he fixed it, Nebraska really started rolling harder than ever.
Exhausting. I remeber watching this game and going crazy. Now years later watching again I need a nap. Seriously. I've yet to see a game that was so physical, brutal where everything was left on the field.
Ah yes, the glory days of Cornhuskers football! I hope those days return!
I feel like Nebraska never caught up with the way modern day offense is played...in their heyday, they were a power run team..once those days went away, they never seemed to adjust..it also didnt help that they left the B12 and lost access to Texas for recruiting
@@carsonc29 They were one of the last premiere power teams to consistently run the option so I agree. They have a showcase game vs Northwestern in Dublin Ireland, so it's a perfect opportunity for a great start to the season.
1 thumbs down? That you Frank Costa? You mad, bro?
Nah bro this is Ken Dorsey Sup ?
@@GlitchyMorpheus Sup "stickman" ?
@@rocjones6543 sup
Watch Schlesinger destroy dude on Kickoff. My God what a hit
Miami couldn't blame this loss on the refs. Decline set in after this game.
Those defenses made you earn everything Nebraska was solid rush 4 and it was a race to the quarterback
Husker Power!! We beat them in a title game ON THEIR OWN FIELD! Warren Sapp didn't do shit to our O line. It was almost as satisfying as when they beat Peyton Manning, Jamal Lewis, and The Volunteers for a title. Not quite though
I don't know what game you were watching! Warren Sapp played a great game!
@@arronfrazier7873 did he win?
@@kc444100 Listen carefully or read carefully! You said he didn't do anything in that game. Your comment is a lie! You know that! Miami or him winning has nothing to do with his performance in that game.
@@arronfrazier7873 Read carefully bro! Tommie Frazier ran through that entire defense like it was a pee wee pick up game. U mad or something? That was like 20-25 years ago. Let it go buddy! If it makes you feel better then just remember that Nebraska sucks now. I'm gonna brag about 90's Huskers til I die though. Warren Sapp Sucks!!!
@@kc444100 No, he didn't! The score was 24 to 17. Nebraska had to come back from behind. This wasn't Nebraska vs UF in the Fiesta bowl the next year 62 to 24. I don't need to let go anything! Yes, Nebraska won the game but not in the way you think. Miami easily could have won the game. they had the lead in the 4th qtr. The game against Florida the next year, that is what your mindset and memory is on but not this game. Nebraska destroyed Florida not Miami.
