Jim Skow?

[zrob_rivals105618]

Why didn't Jim Skow receive more awards and accolades for his career and 1985 season? He's tied for the most sacks in a single season at Nebraska with 15 and has the most TFL in a season with 25! He is 3rd in career sacks at NU with 26 and only half a sack behind Wistrom (but did it in 3 years instead of Wistrom's 4). Those are some monster numbers.
He has to be the most underrated Husker DL of all time. I never hear him mentioned when anyone talks about the best Defensive Lineman or Husker players.

He didn't win a national title or become all pro like suh. He was an undersized DT at the time but extremely strong and quick. Would have flourished as DE back then in 3-4. I believe he played de in the nfl for like 7-8 years.

I get what you are saying but Trev Alberts didn't win a title or become an All Pro but everyone knows what a stud he was.
I could understand if Skow was from way back in the 40's, 50's or 60's (most fans know Husker history beginning in 1970) but he was right in the middle of Osborne's tenure, and despite no National Titles the Huskers are considered by many to be the team of the 80's.

 

[bigboxes]

I loved Skow! Still talk about him now an then. Watched him play more than once at Memorial Stadium.

 

[zrob_rivals105618]

He was an undersized DT at the time

Also, he was not undersized for that time. In 1985 there were 5 Conses DL All Americans and 4 of them were between 240 and 250 (only OU's Tony Casillas was 285lbs)... Jim Skow was 6'3" and weighed 250 lbs!

I think a lot of people consider us the team of the 90s, but not the team of the 80s. That would be Miami.

Actually, even though NU won one more title most people consider Florida State the team of the 90's... And most people do consider NU the team of the 80's.

People in Nebraska might consider us the team of the 80s, but they are incorrect. We won zero national titles. Miami won 3. Case closed. It's the same reason why we are considered the team of the 90s. We won 3. Florida State won 2. Again...case closed.

Because he was a *******

I guess the gloves are off now...

 

[Dean Pope]

Skow is underrated and definitely deserves more mention in Husker legend discussion. If I recall correctly, I think he weighed only 235 pounds when he started getting playing time at Nebraska. He has to be one of the best interior pass rushers we ever had.

 

[saluno22]

I get what you are saying but Trev Alberts didn't win a title or become an All Pro but everyone knows what a stud he was.

Trev won the Butkus, excelled in a game that set the table for 3 national titles in 4 seasons after dislocating his elbow, and was a first-round draft pick.

Was in a class with Skow. Seemed like an ok guy to me.

We had a great record through the 80's but couldn't quite stand up to Miami and OU talent wise. Obviously Miami emerged in that '84 Orange Bowl. NU and FSU were doninant in the 90's but I too would give the edge to Nebraska. Refs screwed us out of a NC against FSU in '93 season and I still think we were the best team in '99. We would have defeated both FSU or Vick and Virginia Tech if given the chance. Huskers were a whisker away from 5 national championships in the 90's alone!

I have a hard time agreeing with this statement every time it is brought up. Losing at the end of 1993 motivated the team to do what they did in 1994 and beyond. If they win in 1993, I don't think they win in both 1994 as well.

I know we lost some big games to OU ( 84,86,87) were the games that gutted me,but Osborne was 5-5 against OU in the 80’s.

How soon people forget how dominant he was in college!!

Trev won the Butkus, excelled in a game that set the table for 3 national titles in 4 seasons after dislocating his elbow, and was a first-round draft pick.

And Jim Skow played on the "Scoring Explosion" team which was obviously very high profile and through 1985... Some very good teams that set up the '87 season that had the Game of the Century II.

Alberts absolutely was a stud and deserved his Butkus Trophy, what I was trying to say is Skow had an even better season and received very little attention for it.

Many CFB analysts and websites consider FSU the team of the 90's just like they say NU was the team of the 80's, I'm not saying I totally agree. Try googling it then close you "case". National titles aren't everything, Miami had some rough seasons too in the 80's, and the '83 Husker team still might have been the best team in that decade.
FSU's record in the 90's was 109-13-1 (89%) and NU's was 108-16-1(86.8%).
Miami was 99-20 in the 80's and NU was 103-20 (83.7%).

In the `80s, it was 99-20. Their worst record in that decade — 8-5 in Jimmy Johnson's first season, 1984 — topped their best record from any season in the previous decade.

"It's a blessing. It really is," Irvin said. "It is amazing, amazing when you step back and think about it."

BEST PROGRAMS

Nebraska appeared in 98.76 percent of all polls taken.

Oklahoma, 85.09 percent.

Alabama, 81.37 percent.

(Notable: Miami won three national titles in the decade, Penn State won two, and yet neither appeared in as many polls as the Cornhuskers, Sooners or Crimson Tide.)

Now the case is closed!!

I think if NU played in a close national title game and Skow had a great game to keep us in it (or if we won it), he would be revered much the same as Trev Alberts.

We should've had 3 titles in the 80s and we got screwed out of 2 of them. 1st was against Clemson in OB in January 82. That Clemson team was one of the dirtiest teams I have ever seen. I was at that game and one of the things they got away with all night long was, their OLine was grabbing our DLine's facemasks on most plays and yanking them to the ground and were almost never called once for it. One of the consolation was, Clemson had a certain NG by the name of William (The Refridgerator) Perry who boasted that he could take out any Center in the country. Perry and DT William Floyd ended up double teaming Rimmington most of the game and by game's end Perry and Floyd managed 3 tackles between the 2 of them.

2nd was the screwjob in Happy Valley in 82, I was at that game as well. We lost that game and didn't lose another that year and played LSU in OB which we won and Penn St went undefeated and beat Georgia in the Sugar Bowl in Jan 83 and won the NC.

Everyone knows what happened in 83. I have to say Osborne and DC at the time Lance Van Zandt had kind of a brain fart that year as Van Zandt scrapped our man to man in favor of Zone which we played all year long due to all of the passing offenses we were gonna face that year. The result was the Blackshirt D finished outside of the top 80 Defenses in the country. The following year in 84, we had all 11 starters back from the following year and went from where we finished in total defense to #1 in total D going back to man to man coverage. If we would've played man to man in 83 instead of the POS Zone which we didn't have the personnel to run it in the 1st place we would've beaten Miami. I was at that game as well. What I thought was pretty funny about that game was, before it started Dave Clark switched Jersey's with Mike McCashland to give NU an advantage of speed on the edge. Turned out to be a fail from the onset of the game as #33 Clark who donned McCashland's #2 had a moustache while McCashland didn't and UM picked up on the ruse. Clark shoulda shaved before the game!

Once again Wiki got it wrong! LOL You forgot Marc Munford Starting at the other LB position and Danny Noonan was the starting MG. It was Paul Miles/Keith End Zone Jones and they split time at IB after Dubose went down due to a season ending ACL tear in the middle of the week right before game 1 and he was tabbed the front runner for the Heisman when he went down. DT it was Jim Skow and Neil Smith/Lee Jones, Brian Davis and Brian Pokorny at CB

Penn State didn’t go unbeaten in 1982, they lost to Alabama by 3 TD the week after they played Nebraska.

Just stop already. You're not convincing anyone that we were the team of the 80s. Not when we didn't win even one national title. We were a consistent team, but if you ask any person on the face of the earth if they would rather be consistent for 10 years or win 3 National Titles, I can't imagine anyone would answer being consistent over 3 National Titles over a 10 year period. If they answered "consistent," they aren't remotely coherent.

It was Dave Burke #33 who changed jerseys with McCashland. They explained the reason at the time being that Miami knew our defense because of where our safety lined up. Hence the switch to confuse them. Unfortunately you are correct that it was not an effective strategy.
You are spot on about the other screw jobs too IMO

So by your reasoning Trent Dilfer is definitely a better QB than Dan Marino and equal to Brett Farve because he won a Superbowl? I guess Alabama probably had better defensive tackles than Suh in 2009 since they won the National Championship, Suh was just more consistent and so he had better stats that year. I'm sorry you cannot process basic numbers, statistics or other peoples opinions. All I said was that many people believe NU was the team of the 80's and FSU was the team of the 90's, and I even provided 2 sources showing that. I didn't even say I absolutely agree with either but if you can figure out how to run a basic Google search you will see that many analysts, websites and fans believe what I said.
Do you understand the difference between Fact and Opinion? Just curious because you continue to argue the facts that I posted with your opinions. Here is an example of a Fact: Many people believe NU was the team of the 80's and FSU was the team of the 90's. Here is an example of an Opinion: Miami won the most titles they are automatically the best team of the 80's regardless of what they did in other years.
There's no need for you to take it personally just because other people disagree with you. Besides, we should be talking about why Skow didn't receive any awards for his amazing season in 1985 and why many fans don't remember what a stud he was. If you think he didn't deserve any awards or a huge amount of fan admiration I will not argue with your opinion!

I think you have your Facts and Your Opinions mixed up. Fact: Miami won 3 National Titles in the 80s. Nebraska won Zero. Opinion: It was a few people's misguided opinions that Nebraska was the Team of the 80s, despite the evidence being to the contrary. Glad I could clear this up for you.

Nebraska was the team of the 80's. FSU was the team of the 90's.

Regardless of critics or other.

We won five. We got screwed out of none, well 1982 maybe, but we son what se eon, and lost proudly when we did.

The teams of the 90's were awesome.

Most real polls give us the best two teams ever. Ever, think about that as you feel cheated

We won what we won to clear my typo

Are you 12 or something? Re-read your post, you sound like an idiot. I'm not wasting anymore time trying to talk sense into someone with a double digit IQ. I think you might be the first person I will ignore, your posts are a waste of time.

I would wave the white flag if I were you too. Your premise has been faulty the entire exchange, and yet you kept on rolling the same tired act out, to be booed off stage time and again. Not only did Miami win the National Title 3 times to our 0, they beat our so called "Team of the 80s" in one of those National Title games.

As much as I love Nebraska football, I'm still not stupid enough to allow my affection for my favorite team to cloud my judgement as much as you have.

People in Nebraska might consider us the team of the 80s, but they are incorrect. We won zero national titles. Miami won 3. Case closed. It's the same reason why we are considered the team of the 90s. We won 3. Florida State won 2. Again...case closed.

And if they had replay Floida State would only have 1. We might even have 4.

I don't live in woulda coulda though. I live in reality. For non-reality topics you'll have to look up zrob.

I'm guessing I nailed your age and IQ level right on the head being that your comeback was to call me a "whiny female". That was an awesome burn, very witty.
Now you're just cracking me up. I love how you use Miami beating Nebraska in the 80's but ignore Florida State beating the Huskers twice in the 90's... At least you are consistently ignorant. You also ignore that I SAID I DON'T EVEN FULLY AGREE WITH NU BEING THE TEAM OF THE 80'S AND FSU BEING THE TEAM OF THE 90'S. I just said that many people believe that, and though I don't fully agree I do see their points. Seriously, you can close your "case", Detective Hoosker Douche.
Take care little fella, you are officially the first person so stupid I've had to put on Ignore in the nearly 13 years I've been on this site. You have my nomination as an Honorary Hawkeye Fan for your intelligent posts, you should probably have mom and dad get you a script of Ritalin and cruise their boards for awhile.
