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




Well Lawrence Phillips probably wouldn't be the same player these days. RIP.

Relative to their era, that Nebraska team (and the 2001 Miami team) were more dominating, certainly on offense. The triple option though, was notably schemed out of existence shortly thereafter by dramatically faster defenses. The 2015-2016 Alabama teams are the apex predators of that evolution.

However, if you took the teams in a vacuum and lined them up to play any of the recent vintage Alabama teams 2009-2016 are better physically.
