And all 3 of Nebraska's were undefeated, to bama's 1.


Former Nebraska player Grant Wistrom has actually come out and said that their Nebraska teams would be hard-pressed to do that if they had played in today's era.

quote:

The Huskers’ 60-3 record from 1993-97 remains the greatest five-year stretch in college football history. Alabama is 61-7 since 2008.

Grant Wistrom, who played defensive end on all three of Osborne’s title teams, said the 1990s Huskers would be hard-pressed to beat the 21st-century Tide.

“It’s only been 15 years, but it’s a faster game now,” Wistrom said. “We dominated back then, but I don’t know if our teams would have had the success (Alabama’s) had now. It’s tough to do what they’ve done in this day and age — not that it was easy for us back then.”

That's obvious. Strength and Conditioning has changed so much, even in just the past 10 years. Players are physically faster, stronger, and bigger than they were back then.


That being said, that Nebraska team was the most dominant team ever.
