'95 Nebraska gets a lot of love because of how badly they beat Florida in the Fiesta Bowl.
Well that and also how badly they beat just about everyone else.
@ Oklahoma State (64-21)
@ Michigan State (50-10)
vs. Arizona State (77-28)
vs. Pacific (49-7)
vs. Washington State (35-21)
vs. Missouri (57-0)
vs. #8 Kansas State (49-25)
@ #7 Colorado (44-21)
vs. Iowa State (73-14)
@ #10 Kansas (41-3)
vs. Oklahoma (37-0)
vs. #2 Florida (62-24)
They averaged 53.2 points per game and nearly 557 yards per game on offense. And the crazy thing about that offense is that it wasn't just a Cam Newton or a Joe Burrow who was responsible for most of the production. It was everyone. Tommie Frazier was clearly the emotional leader of the team and in command of the offense, but the man didn't have gaudy stats in 1995. He just managed the offense as perfectly as a QB could in that particular system.

The old Big 8 conference was a joke. Nebraska and Oklahoma beat everyone 50-0 every week all throughout the '70s and '80s, but they struggled mightily against FSU and Miami and their great defensive fronts. And by the mid '90s there wasn't even an Oklahoma to contend with anymore.
'95 Nebraska did not face a Selmon brother or Tony Casillas or Jerome Brown or Cortez Kennedy or Warren Sapp or any of those bad arse DL that used to frick up Nebraska's run game.
They ran through the Big 8 with obscene scores like they always did but did not meet a bad arse defense in an Oklahoma or bowl opponent like they used to. '95 Florida was young and tissue soft on defense.
