But please don’t drop the animosity card here as a GREAT number of your fans back in 2002 acted like scum and should have been arrested that night for the way they were behaving. If anyone needs to tone down the animosity here, its a great majority of your own fanbase. I know many of our fans state they will never step foot again on one of your Gamedays, which is just sad.

P.S. You still haven’t addressed Andy’s points regarding the close call wins against less than average teams during ’94 PSU’s regular season schedule.

Respectfully,

“WE ARE PENN ST!!!!”

If this conversation were about anyother team that had Penn ST,’s stats that year, your points may be valued but just like in 86, PSU would’ve come down there and if not won, then reminded Nebraska that they could bleed, and they would’ve suffered for a win………… if they won.

Something that can be appreciated is that the team joining the Big 10 is a program with a great history and one that will complement the entire conference. Lets focus on today what Nebraska will add to the Big Ten rather than a quarrel over bragging rights.

PSU ’05

94 and 95 Nebraska were nearly the same exact team, especially on offense. Fl got a Frazier that the 94 Hurricanes did not, a Frazier in mid season form, a Frazier ready for game action, a rust free Frazier. Not the Frazier 3 + months removed from game action that the Hurricanes got. There was very little difference between the 94 or 95 Nebraska teams.

In the spirit of competition, if 94 NEbraska and 94 PSU had been able to play would you want both teams, all players, at the top of their game, uninjured for a true test. I would.

You see. 94 PSU didn’t have the injuries to important players to overcome now did they. Go win a road game against a top 20 team with a 3rd string QB!

Do you remember what a healthy, in mid season form, rust free, Frazier did to that FL defense from the SEC? Boy, if 94 PSu got a healthy Frazier, it would not have been pretty behind the best Nebraska O line of all time, with the best rb that ever played at NEbraska.

94 Nebraska runs away from 94 PSU and the biggest problem for 94 PSu isn’t the Cornhusker defense, it is their own defense that would not be able to slow down Frazier and Co and get them off the field. 94 Nebraska possessed the ball for bearly 35 mins over the #1 HUrricanes defense with Frazier not hmself and playing one freaking half! My god! get a grip and get a clue! I think it is safe to say that if the #1 Hurricanes defense got the “real” Frazier for an entire game that Nebraska scores 35 or more on that Hurricanes great defense. 35 on the Canes!

Over the #1 total and scoring defense! Gosh, what do they do to the 70th rated defense! Proably nearly a 2 to 1 T.O.P advantage over PSU.

94 Nebraska likely 38-41 points on that PSu defense, maybe more, maybe what happened to 95 FL one year earlier if PSu gets the “real” Frazier with LP running behind that offensive line! Probably a time of possession in the neighborhood of 40 minutes!

94 PSu 21-24 points because that offense is stuck on the sidelines watching for a 2/3 of the game!

Here’s a little something from that “soft” Nebraska team of 1994. Much of the video includes highlights of the 94 defense. Pay special attention to what happened to the Wyoming QB at 1:50 of the aforementioned video.

A slow footed, stand in the pocket, can’t move to avoid pressure qb, sort of like K. Collins.

Speaking of the schedules of 94 Nebraska and 94 Penn State;

PSU was 12-0 vs opponents that finished with an overall record of 70-65-4 .51799%
NU was 13-0 vs teams with an overall record of 78-71-3 .52303%

PSU had 8 teams it defeated, win at least half their games
NU had 9

PSU had no teams it defeated win more than 9 games (PSU played a bunch of mediorce to at best, barely above average, football teams in 94 and struggled to beat several of them.)
NU had 2 teams win more than 9 games CU and Miami.

PSU played 4 teams during the reg. season that went to bowls
NU played 5

PSU was 4-0 against ranked teams, #5,12,14,21 (AP game time)
NU was 5-0 against ranked teams, at #2, 3,13,16,24 (AP game time)

Tougher conference?
Big 8s record vs the Big 10 that year – 4-2, including wins vs Michigan and Wisconsin

Penn State would have struggled to beat Nebraska, Miami and several other teams that year. They had a great offense but a less than average defense.

1994 Penn State is the greatest college football team ever, and no amount of Nebraska fans sitting in the corner with fingers in their ears going LALALALALALALALA is going to change that fact.

but still…if the roles were reversed, wouldn’t NU do the same thing?
