Yes. Except LSU was one play from losing to a team that lost to Minnesota.
Minnesota was good and apparently you didn’t watch the LSU-AU game.

This is a strange thread. At a time when just about everyone in the college football world is stating that LSU just had the greatest season ever, we got a few real slow witted folk up in here trying to minimize LSU’s season based on Auburn and 1995 Nebraska.

Now that's funny.
23 points on 70 plays, but they could score 31 on 4?
They beat Auburn by 3. A fumble return, interception return, kick return, anything could've happened and they'd be 14-1 right now.
Tua doesn't drop the ball and they may be 11-2.
Greatest season ever? Greatest team ever? Laughable.
Washington State was 3 and fricking 8.

He’s clearly an idiot who didn’t watch the LSU-AU game. And he thinks it’s laughable that LSU had the greatest season ever when I’m hearing everyone in the media say exactly that.

All I have learned from this thread is that both teams were great and no one is going to change anyones opinion.
I firmly believe that Nebraska 95 is the best team of all tine. Blessed to get to watch them as it was happening.
LSU is an all-time great team. Some think they deserve that title and as a Husker fan I’m good with that also. Lucky to see this team in person.
Neither belief diminishes either teams accomplishments.
As I said before. Welcome to the table Tigers. Here’s to another 50 years of debates.
In the end both teams made their schools/ fans proud. Both accomplished all they could. That’s all that really matters.

You dont think Nebraska in 1995 could've beat teams 2-10 in successive weeks if they had the chance? They beat #2 by 38
Nebraska played 6 teams without a winning record.
They played fricking Pacific that DROPPED football the next year.
And Wazzu played Nebraska tougher than Florida.
Florida was so overrated that year but since they were whipping a bunch of shitty SEC teams, SEC fan holds 1995 Nebraska in awe.
The SEC wasn't good in the 90s, down cycle, bunch of crappy teams when one school could dominate and Florida took advantage of LSU sucking, Bama sucking after Perkins, etc.

1995 Florida was a damn good team. get out of here with that nonsense.

And who cares about "beating the #2 team by 38 points"?
2001 Miami beat the #2 team by 23 points and all they did was run the ball in the 2nd half.
2004 USC beat the #2 team in the Orange bowl by 35 points...and it wasn't even that close.
Oregon defeated the defending Champs Florida State in the Semis by 39 points.
Clemson defeated Ohio State 31-0 in the Semis.

Florida was a damn good team and the SEC was solid.
Florida that year beat (ranking when played)
#8 Tennessee (with Manning) 62-37
#21 LSU 28-10
#7 Auburn 49-38
#6 Florida State 35-24
#23 Arkansas 34-3
Tennessee finished #3 and was also a very good team. Florida State finished 4th and was also very good.
This Gator team beat the 3 and 4 ranked teams
The notion that they were anything but a very good team is absurd. The notion they were overrated is laughable. You don’t beat the teams that finished 3 and 4 if you are overrated
I have to show respect for Florida. That team would have won the title most years. Just ran into a buzz saw. The Huskers went 49-2 with 3 national titles in 4 years (and almost won the title in 93) No one has come close to that. Florida just had the bad luck to run into that.

Nebraska has way more than just Phillips and Green at RB. They were five deep at I-back and all of them were legit. Their top four (Phillips, Green, Clinton Childs, & Damon Benning) all had 100-yard games during the season. Their 5th string I-back James Sims had an 80-yard run against Nick Saban’s Spartans. To this day Saban still says that Nebraska 95 is the most “complete” team he’s ever seen.
Also many people forget that Nebraska’s backup QB Brook Berringer was excellent as well. Was a top passer/NFL prospect prior to his tragic accident. He was undefeated in relief of Frazier when he went down with blood clots the year prior.
Don’t forget that Nebraska was coming off an undefeated championship season in 94 where they beat Miami 24-17 in the Orange Bowl, which was extremely difficult on those days. Warren Sapp and Ray Lewis were gasping for breath in the 4th quarter due to Nebraska’s punishing run game.
Florida had one of the most powerful offenses in college football history to that point in time, similar to this year’s LSU team — Wuerrfel was setting all sorts of records and ended up winning the Heisman the following year. Nebraska totally shut them down. It was 62-24 and the 3rd string could have scored again in the final minutes. Not to mention there was a fumble returned for a TD by one of the Peter brothers but it was called back — had there been instant replay the TD would have stood. They could have easily won that game by 50 had they not taken their foot off the gas.

Let’s look at that gators team.
12-0 Sec champs with wins over
#8 Ten 63-27
#21 LSU 28-10
#7 AUB 49-38
#6 FSU 35-24
#23 Ark 34-3
So all by double digits, not bad.
42.9 pts/game
Over 530 yds/game(360 pass, 173 rush)

Can they beat the 2019 LSU team? Probably not as players get bigger, stronger, faster, and better conditioning over time. I mean... 1958 LSU National Championship team wouldn't beat the 2019 Bowling Green team. But for what they did on the field during their time, the 95 Huskers were damn impressive.
It's not even just that players are more athletic today. The amount of data that we have access to today, along with advanced statistics, shadow staffs, etc...The amount of planning that goes into the game today far outweighs what was going on in the 90's. Which means a gimmick offense like Nebraska's would likely be figured out with quickness in today's game. There is a reason that you don't see many teams run that type of offense today. Basically, it's harder to be successful today than it was in the past, due to the amount of information and planning that goes into the game plans each week.

You sound extremely butthurt. Also you're "1 play away from losing is bullshite" Alabama and Auburn both scored late TDs and kicked onside kicks, which LSU recovered then kneeled it out in both games.
Also I like how you think ending a 40 game home win streak against the number 8 team is unimpressive.
If LA Tech beat Texas this year instead of losing by 35, you wouldve told us that was an enormous win against a magnificent team.

They only beat Bama (in a down year) by 5.

Well, there’s navy that puts up 300+ rush yds a game each year with subpar athletes. So I wouldn’t say gimmick.
But players and strategies have gotten better over time. However, rules have changed to favor the current passing game, allowing drives to continue. I don’t think there was targeting, horse collar back then. And defense holding and pass interference are more liberally called in today’s game. Watch a game 20 years ago and rarely WRs are asking for a flag where that kind of thing is visible on every drive now.

I don’t think the physical differences from 1995 to now are so extreme. 1995 was not that long ago. Players were big, fast, and lifted weights.

Which is a down year for them. They've been a top 2 team for almost a decade. Their defense this year was atrocious by Saban standards.

If LA Tech beat Texas by 35, I couldn't arguably say Texas was a good or even decent team. They shut Miami out in the Indy Bowl, and I think that says more about Miami than it does Tech, even though Tech was pretty good this year.
Texas is like Notre Dame. Always overrated in polls because of their name and history. When the chips were down, they were 5-4 in one of the worst P5 conferences. They lost to Baylor by 2 TD's.
and like i said, they were so good this year they fired both coordinators.
