Youngstown State Beats Woffard
- Thread starter Snickerdoodle70

I don't recall too many teams beating Miami or Florida State the years Nebraska played them in bowl games. Even great OU teams got beat by Miami in 1985 and 1987.
No doubt. Those were like NFL teams. Playing in there home state and Miami's home stadium every year. Lame
Unranked Miami went to Norman in 1985 and beat the Sooners, and Florida State did beat Nebraska in 1980, 1985 in Lincoln. Lots of talent and great coaching the Seminoles had.
I also remind my Colorado fan friends that cu was lucky as hell not to have played Miami in that 1991 Orange Bowl instead of Notre Dame, they would have got curb stomped for sure had the Canes played them, Miami was clearly the best team in the country at the end of 1990.

Yup, Miami too, Jimmy johnson, Dennis Erickson, Qbs all with NFL pedigrees, Wrs like Michael Irvin, Randall hill, etc, D lineman cranked out every year, Jerome brown, Cortez kennedy, maryland, Sapp, LBs like Ray lewis, dbs like the blades boys. Hated them but they were Damn talented.
Yeah because we all know how comparable OSU,Michigan,and PSU was then to where they are now LMAO.
I swear dome of our fans ...That conference championship was tailor made and Bo STILL pissed it down his legs. Sad..but continue with the Riley expectatons moving forward. Its nice to see where everyone stands on matters like these.
holla
I remember Miami had a D-End by the name of Rusty Medearis, gawd what a wrecking machine he was. I remember thinking I wish Nebraska could get a kid like him someday. Turns out a few years later, Grant Wistrom showed up.
Speed and talent. Not a coincidence Bama and osu recruit top 5 classes and are in the hunt every year. Gotta upgrade the talent and depth. Need multiple all Americans and Big 10 first teamers. Simple

Absolutely - and getting some great cover cornerbacks. Having guys like Barron Miles, Tyrone Williams, and later Ralph Brown allowed NU to use much more aggressive defensive schemes.
You better go back and watch some of those games. Tom's offense had no shot against those team....None
However, that doesn't mean they were garbage. His offenses were obviously "good enough" to get to those games even though they did struggle in those games.
Yep. Hopefully we got a coach that will do just that. Haven't had one in quite awhile.
Osborne's offenses were straight up garbage...now that is funny.
I see you struggle with reading comprehension.
Every offense struggled against some of those defenses. All you have to do is go back and look at their rosters those years. Littered with all pro defensive players.However, that doesn't mean they were garbage. His offenses were obviously "good enough" to get to those games even though they did struggle in those games.
