NU football existed before the 70s. Sam Francis, Guy Chamberlin and Pat Fischer would have to be included
rodgers, gill, rozier, frazier.
wistrom, suh, glover, m. brown.
you might opt for crouch and im fine with that, but turner gill was the sea change, in my mind.
there are soo many, how can you only take 4 on each?!
eric crouch, bob brown, dave rimington, irving fryar…mick tingelhoff?
terrell farley, lavonte david, pat fischer, willie harper, etc.
****, i hate these lists…

Unless they added to it, there's only 4 heads. So your list can have.....(wait for it)....
.....4.....
Fraizer. Suh. Phillips. Rozier.

Fraizer. Suh. Phillips. Rozier.
True, but that's why were here. It could be that some may prefer the modern era.
Crouch: He was phenominal. Did all that was asked from him. Was the biggest warrior. Speed, strength, agility, toughness. He had it all. I sure wish we could have won it all. That doesn't diminish what he did during his time at NU. Maybe if 2001 O had 1999 D. Obviously, Crouch would have killed with the pipeline and Phillips/Green in the backfield.
Frazier: You got to believe that he should have won the Heisman in 1995. Tommie brought it all together. He was a leader. He was like Charlton Heston in chariot race in The Ten Commandments. Never in the history of college football has a team dominated the way that the 1995 Huskers did.
Rodgers: Had that sneaky speed. Like "woops" you missed him. There was a reason they called him the Jet!
Rozier: I'd choose Phillips over Rozier, but the whole mental illness thing prevented him from reaching his potential. Rozier won the Heisman.
Offense- Rozier, Gill, Rodgers, Fryar
Defense- Suh, Glover, Wistrom, Mike Brown
Woulda, shoulda, coulda... Rozier was the best RB Nebraska ever had. Bar none. I would put Roger Craig over Phillips as well.
I think I might agree exactly with your list. Gill signs with Oklahoma…who is to say what happens to the program in the 80s and 90s. Remember Mark Mauer and Craig Sundberg were pre-Gill and post-Gill. Turner made Neb a popular destination for athletic option QBs.
I’d probably have to fit an O-Lineman in their somewhere. Rimington -the GOAT as a college center.
Bobby was about the only bright spot on some bad teams. Just think how good he would have been if he had 80&90 caliber talent with him
You could consider Rozier, but these 4 are considered possibly the very best at their positions all time (Rodgers as a returner). Rozier isn't quite in that conversation.
Osborne, Devaney, Frazier, and Green. Trying to find players and coaches responsible for multiple national titles. Could easily put some others on there, but these would be the four I’d roll with.
