It's unfair to compare the two because Nebraska was the most roided up, PED abusing college football team of all-time. It's like women's track and field where all of the records were set by Eastern European women from the '80s. Yes, today's female sprinters and long distance runners aren't as good as those female track and field athletes from the '80s but it's not really a fair comparison.

This Bama team is average. Defense is great. Offense is terrible.

Anyone saying 95 Nebraska would get destroyed by anyone is being ridiculous. Now, they could possibly lose, but that team had super talent and ran that offense to perfection.

Saban has never liked going up against the triple option and has said as much because it's so hard to simulate if you don't run it. Even with time to prepare, it's hard to plan for when a team is that talented and runs it that well.

The 2011 Bama D was the best one I've seen and the only team that ran on them was Georgia Southern. They averaged 7.7 ypc (unthinkable). Saban said they just couldn't stop them. Nebraska had about 10x the talent Georgia Southern had though. Saban with a month to prepare has proven that he is a master, but that style of offense is difficult to prepare for even with time because it's so different and so few teams run it now. The 95 and 96 Nebraska teams gave Saban the worst losses of his career (he was at Michigan State back then).

95 Nebraska would kick the shite out of 2016 Alabama. And let's not forget that the 95 black-shirts were part of 95 Nebraska so Bama's offense wouldn't be going anywhere.

One of these two teams is the greatest college football team of all time. The other is far from it.

Nebraska put up 50 on Saban's defense in '95.

Georgia Southern is the closest offense he's played to that at Alabama and they ran over his defense like shite through a tin horn.

Not to be a stick in the mud but the game is so different now I don't know how anyone can compare the two.

I want to say Nebraska, but players are just getting bigger and stronger so I'm taking Bama.

If '95 Nebraska was just another team on Bama's schedule, and no one knew anything about them, I do think Nebraska would take them down.

I'd actually say for intangible reasons, the chip on Bama '92's shoulders might give Nebraska more fits...

I think a team of guys from 18 to 24 years old will run circles around a bunch of 40 year old dudes.

I love the "Bama and it's not close" comments. I have all the respect in the world for Alabama, but that Nebraska team was bad arse.
