quote:
Nebraska had one player on their roster that weighed over 300 pounds. In a bowl setting with a month to prepare, they wouldn't score a single point.
Look at zone blocking lines in the NFL. These are smaller and more athletic lineman for a reason.
If you really believe Nebraska couldn't score on teams...

The point of my OP was not necessarily who would win in a matchup. The phrasing was ambiguous enough to get there, though.
The point was more along the lines of who was more dominant in their season, and I still go with Nebraska. Kind of like comparing the 70's Steelers and the 00's Patriots. Pats would kill them, but the Steelers are still the greatest collection of comparative talent I think the NFL has ever seen. (And that sucks to say as a Cowboys fan.)
Not that it is definitive, but I ran a quick pivot table on the rosters of 1995 Nebraska and 2016 Bama. Here is what you get.
