re: 1995 Nebraska vs. 2011 Alabama

The Nebraska offense under Osborne was different than any other option style attack we’ve ever seen because it was originally designed as an NFL style scheme. Osborne quickly realized he couldn’t get the QBs needed to operate a pro system so he installed the option in place of a short passing game. Osborne had the knowledge to add pro passing schemes seamlessly into the offense if he had to while still pounding the ball because they ran every run play other pro style offenses ran as well as the option.

You act as if those Nebraska teams never beat any ultra athletic defenses loaded with pros when in fact the did more times than not.
They definitely did, but they also never saw a defense like 2011 Alabama. They ran a three man front that was good enough to occupy all five Nebraska offensive linemen. Their style of option would have been almost completely stuffed if their offensive line got its arse kicked by a defense that didn't have to commit extra guys to win at the point of attack.

2011 Bama struggled schematically with 2011 GSU’s option attack

How do you figure they wouldn’t be able to handle them? You must not have seen them play. And don’t forget Bama put up 6 at home vs an LSU team who couldn’t make a first down. Nebraska’s D was elite as well and could just as easily overwhelmed Bama’s offense.

Nebraska had the best oline in the country 3 years straight with that group. They all played in the NFL, 3 were multi time AA, an Outland Trophy winner, another finalist, college football HOF inductee, 3 multi time national champs, all multi time All Conf players. A lot of times they didn’t even need the option, they had every other standard pro style run play in the book they could use and be successful with. They often went that route vs Miami, FSU and other athletic defenses they faced.

2011 Bama played GSU the week before the Iron Bowl looking for revenge from the Camback.
Playing 95 Nebraska in a championship setting would've been a much more focused team.
But you know that already.

I’m sure they were hyped up for that one.
2015 Bama would be a better question. Nebraska would certainly stop Derrick Henry, right pride?

I also know already y’all lost to 2011 lsu. So this entire discussion is dumb as shite. 2011 lsu isn’t close to 1995 Nebraska

That Bama defense wasn’t just athletic, they were fricking big. Hightower, Upshaw, Barron, Kirkpatrick, Milner. None of the guys on the front went less than 285. It’s a dumb comparison between eras, Nebraska would’ve gotten frickin bullied in a time warp. ‘95 Nebraska was more dominant in ‘95 than Bama was in ‘11. You line both teams up against each other and Nebraska gets their shite kicked in though.

Georgia last year had defensive linemen who could run with Tommie Frazier (Travon Walker, for instance), and Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter would have taken the fullback away by themselves. That's why I think they would have handled Nebraska's option.
Those Saban/Kirby teams that were built around ungodly front sevens were built to stop anyone's running game with the freakiest athletes possible to do it. Georgia was vulnerable in the secondary, and Nebraska would not have been able to threaten that.

You’re comparing completely different eras. Your Bama hatred blinds you. You’re talking 16 years of evolution in strength training and nutrition, which is a gd lifetime. The entire top 5 in 2011 beats ‘95 Nebraska.
Try to stop being such a dumbass all the time. Be cognizant when it has anything to do with Bama. Your emotions get the best of you

Nebraska’s tackles on the o line were 6’3” 370 pounds and 6’4” 340 pounds.
You are the one struggling with emotions out of ignorance

No they weren’t.
That 1995 pipeline was the best ever though.

The frick are you talking about? Nebraskas OL was as followed:
6-4 275
6-4 285
6-1 295
6-4 290
6-2 300
370
6-4 275
6-4 285
6-1 295
6-4 290
6-2 300
370

What about the other 9? Those two sound overweight, and would probably have a hard time blocking Courtney Upshaw just like Chris Faulk did.

How many of those dudes played more than 5 years in the NFL?

No they weren’t
And let’s talk avkht how fricking stupid that ignorant poster is and make it easy for him to understand
Derrick Thomas played college football in the 80s, and he would still be dominant in college football today 35 years later, more than double the time gap of 16 years
So according to riseupfromtherubble, Thomas would be manhandled by offenses today in college
Now you see how fricking dumb that sounds?

That’s what I was wondering too. I guess those cut blocks made them seem larger.
I love those 1990s Nebraska offensive lines though. Mean as hell. They’d do well in any era.
