What an Upgrade!!!!!!!!
History

NU is the BY FAR the "winningest" program of the last 50 years with the: most wins(472 next best is Alabama with 447),
best win%(77% next best is Ohio State with 75%),
most points scored total and per game(32 ppg next best is Boise St with 31)
widest average margin of victory(17 ppg next best is OU with 14)

NU's record against the Big 10 over the last 50 years is 40-8-0 not losing more then once to any team accept Penn St(4-3 against them).

Nebraska and Ohio State have not played in the last 50 years. They played twice in Columbus in 55 and 56 losing both games. Nebraska

Oh and the 1995 Nebraska team is the best team in college football history

Bo Pelini

Ohio State's own Bo Pelini. A DB and captain for Ohio State under Earl Bruce and John Cooper. I promise that as long as Bo and Carl Pelini are at Nebraska we will have a top shelf D, these guys just know defense.

Recruiting

Nebraska has always done best when it recruits in-state. We're starting to get back to that.
Nebraska has had 3 straight amazing OL classes and has been recruiting mobile QBs exclusively. Looks like Bo is getting us back to our roots which is run run run some more. I don't see us running the option but I'll settle for an offense like what Minnesota used to run under Glen Mason, I think that is the direction we are headed.

I will warn you NU isn't going to recruit many 5 stars and won't ever finish in the top 10 star rankings. Nebraska has never been popular with the "star givers". The whole thing is a popularity contest any way.

That particular Nebraska team came within a missed field goal on the final play of the National championship game VS FSU of winning three in a row.

they also came within an illegal kicking of a ball in the endzone that allowed a receiver to catch it for a TD from not getting a NC shot in 1994.:biggrin:

Great, Great teams....but the 2001 Miami Hurricanes are the best that I've ever seen as far as future NFL talent. I'd say the 1996 Huskers were the best at playing a system that destroyed its opposition.

NU's record against the Big 10 over the last 50 years is 40-8-0 not losing more then once to any team accept Penn St(4-3 against them).

2-0 v. Illinois
4-1 v. Indiana
5-1 v. Iowa
2-1 v. Michigan
3-0 v Michigan State
15-1 v. Minnesota
2-0 v. Northwestern
4-3 v. Penn State (2-0 since PSU joined the Big 10)
3-1 v. Wisconsin

40-8 is losing some of it's luster. Beating the shit out of Minnesota has been a Big Ten tradition since 1961. The best record MN team Nebby beat was 1967 MN (8-2) Nebby lost to 8-2 MN in 1960. The overwhelming bulk of the remaining contests were against dreadful MN.

Beat 2-7 Michigan in 1962, and 7-5 Michigan in 2005. Lost to 10-1-1 Michigan. In other words, beat bad Michigan, lost to good Michigan.

Iowa? Sounds better than it looks. Here's the records of Iowa in the years Nebby played them: 3-9, 1-10, 8-4, 8-4, 4-7, 5-6
Yawn

Illinois - 4-7, 6-5

Indiana... well.. it should come as no surprise around here when we learn that the best Indiana team Nebby beat was a whopping 5-5-1 (1977)

Michigan State (records): 8-5 (2003 Alamo), 6-6, 6-5

Penn State - Nebby beat 3-9 PSU, lost to 9-4 PSU

and finally, Wisconsin: Lost to the best Wiscy team Nebby played (1974 Wiscy (7-4)) beat up 4-7, 3-6-1 and 2-7-1 Wiscy.

In short - Beating up bottom feeders don't impress me much.

I think you're referring to the Mizzou game in '97, when they and TSUN each got half of an NC.

They did not win all games.... 01 Miami did. I think undefeated teams are the only ones mentioned in this type of convo. In other words I think he was using their talent level to throw them in the debate...

There's one reason Nebraska would win that match up: Coaching

Yeah the 01 Miami team won the NC that doesn't mean Coker wasn't still under performing with the insane amount of talent he had on that team, Ron Zook could have won it all with those guys.

The thread title says "Preview", yet the opening post is nothing but a list of stale and outdated stats. How about giving us an actual low-down on the team that will be joining our conference next year...you know, a "preview".
