See...this a dumb argument and not what anyone who argues 1995 Nebraska > 2019 LSU are saying. If 2019 Alabama were to line up against 1995 Nebraska today, 2019 Alabama wins by 7-10 points. The game is just different now and players are both stronger and faster. Many of last year's top teams would have likely defeated '95 Nebraska due to this reason alone.
That's why when you compare teams from different eras, you have to look at how they played relative to their competition. 2019 LSU had an impressive run. Their resume is unmatched in college football. That being said, they had some squeakers. Texas, Alabama, Auburn, and to a certain extent Florida gave them everything they asked for and came close to beating LSU.
No one came close to beating Nebraska that year. No one. They absolutely drilled their competition and averaged over 53 points per game running the power option. Every single one of their running backs averaged over 7 yards per carry. Their offense was just as explosive on the ground as 2019 LSU's was through the air.
So LSU scored more points than any team in NCAA history. LSU would score I have no doubts about that vs 95 NEB.
When LSU would put 8 in the box 95 NEB would fall behind before half-time.
Now what? LSU only ran 46 plays this year vs a very good FLA defense and scored 42.
Could the game be within 10? Maybe, but that depends more on what part of the season we are talking about.
Play LSU at the end of the season, after the Ole Miss game and 95 Neb chances go down drastically.

Thanks to a 15-game schedule.
Nebraska only played 12 games in 1995 and averaged 53.1 points per game while doing it. LSU averaged 48.4 points per game.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. You're attempting to play a game that pits two teams from two different eras. Of course the more modern team wins that game every single time. As I stated before, most of the top teams from 2019 would likely beat '95 Nebraska by 7-10 points. The players of today are stronger, faster, and more well-conditioned than they were 25 years ago.

You give me 2019 Alabama with a 100% healthy roster and I'll take my chances. That means the roster they should have started the year with and not those rookie LB's, LaBryan Ray to help rush the passer and the regular kicker.
Not to mention a 100% Tua. That team probably has as good a chance as anyone. Defensively Bama would have been much better and without that slow first half, that game may turn out different.

Between the past LSU football season and the Will Wade stuff, some of the Bama posters have been among the most rational people on the board.

And how would Nebraska's run game have held up in the NC game, since LSU shut down A&Ms, Georgia's, Oklahoma's, and Clemson's....."IN A ROW".????..
There wasn't a single one that had as good a run game as NU.
I'm not even sure why you're including A&M b/c ours was terrible last year. OU's stats were inflated as hell b/c there is now zero defense in the Big 12. Georgia and Clemson's offensive schemes weren't anything like NU's so again I'm not sure why you are comparing them with Nebraska.
Also, I must again point out that there are some fairly significant rule differences between 1995 and 2019 that would heavily influence what could happen during a game between the two teams.

Nobody is ever 100% healthy, LSU was also missing three defensive starters against Alabama.

and the regular kicker.
Your "regular" kicker was statistically worse.

Oh God, this excuse again. What more did you want him to do? He threw for 440 yards and 4 touchdowns and did not look significantly limited in any capacity.

1995 Nebraska > 2019 LSU
1995 Nebraska set the modern standard for dominating opponents on a consistent basis and 2019 LSU was indomitable in defeating the highest quality of competition to achieve 15-0. 2019 LSU will continue to receive their due all-time great respect as the years progress but what 1995 Nebraska did is basically mythical, almost to the level of 1971 Nebraska, 1972 USC, the Army teams of the 1940s, and the Oklahoma teams of the 1950s. The absolute PINNACLE and PERFECTION of the triple-option. As great and legendary as 2019 LSU was, they won't overtake 1995 Nebraska's greatness, too insurmountable.

Which team will have more successful NFL players?
I wouldn’t trade offenses, defenses, special teams or coaching staffs w 95 Nebraska. And I honestly believe we would beat them by 20+

Nice comeback! Let's take it an extra step and figure out the number of top-tier teams Nebraska played AND how many games they played. LSU played following top-10 to top-15 teams: FLA, AUB, ALA, GA, OK, and CLEMSON. The last 3 teams were back-to-back in post-season. 15-0 season. I'm sure 2019 LSU team would stack the box and leave our NFL-ready CB's on an island to slow down the Cornhusker's vaunted running attack. The score would probably be 34-31 or something like that. The game has changed so much over 35 years. If you can't throw it in this era you can't win.

They faced four teams that finished in the AP Top 10. That's a third of their schedule that ended up finishing ranked among the nation's elite. Sure...they played some shite teams, but when they played the cream of the crop they freaking dominated them just as well.
That 1995 Florida team was an all-time great team themselves. No team had come within 11 points of beating them all season until Nebraska wiped the field with them in Tempe, Arizona.

2019 LSU beat the five Top 10 teams they faced by an average of 19.6 points and were taking knees in opposing territory against most of them to end the game.
