re: Top 50 College Football Players of the Past 50 Years

Only reason Ahman Green led that team in rushing was Phillips was suspended.

Now if Dr Tom would have went with the "We Backs" with Phillips and Green like he did Brown and Jones, nobody would have never stopped that NU offense.

Pointing out the facts, sorry some people cant figure out that Phillips was the better RB though.

And the facts are that Phillips was a dumbass and Ahman outgained him in rushing, 2nd all-time in Husker history

That's subjective and a different argument,

I asked for the 50+ running backs better than Fournette and a Nebraska fan listed him and Marcus Dupree

You have to understand Big 8 fans first and foremost to understand why that would be said

Especially the ones in Lincoln. They look back at the days of the Big 8 with nostalgia and think that it was the best football in the world.
I beg to differ even with my connections to CU but Nebraska has this way of thinking that their program
was intentionally destroyed by UT and universities inside the Big 8 like OU and CU who were jealous of Nebraska because they won so much

I remember NU. Things have changed in Lincoln especially their football program

Lawrence Phillips might not even be top 3-4 RB in Nebraska history, much less last 50 years

Depends on what you list Johnny Rogers as?

He was a Wingback, but he also ran the ball.

My order for NU backs in last 50 years

Rozier
Rogers
Brown
Phillips
Jones
Burkhead
Hipp

Ahman Green, to me, was just another one of the good NU backs not great. Maybe because he followed Phillips?

I hope you are not trying to say Green was better than Rozier or Rogers
