The opponents they faced may have been slow but Phillips and Frazier were 4.4 guyss. And size? You forget the gist of Huskers OL was zone blocking where it's not about size and pushing off the line. It's about chipping and getting to the next level. Nebraska had a little of both.


Bama has the talent to beat Nebraska but the amount of practice they'd need to stop that defense is huge. Their pass rush would also be neutralized which takes a big part of the defensive strength away. I'm not saying Bama doesn't have the talent to win but there's no way to simulate that Nebraska offense. It's hard to practice for what you're going to see when nobody runs it and your scout team can't replicate it.

true. I think the blackshirts were way underated that year too.

My gut would say huskers in a win, but my money would be on Bama.
