1995 Orange Bowl - Tommie Frazier 25 yard run

[CaneTenacity]

Tommy also went to 3 consecutive National Championships, won 2 of them and was named MVP of the 2 he won. Back-to-back National Champion QB. 4 year starter. 33-3 record as a starter, a Big 8 Conference record. Won the Johnny Unitas. Finalist for the O'Brien, Maxwell and Walter Camp. Named to Sports Illustrated's All-Century Team. Just absolutely decimated the UiF Crocs in a 62-24 ass beating in the Fiesta Bowl, making that memorable 75 yard TD run

@CaneTenacity Touchdown Tommie was MVP in the loss to FLA St. so thats 3 national championship mvps in a row, out playing Heisman winner Charlie Ward.

[elcanpion]

@CRXPhil he did play well but out don't think he neccesarily outplayed ward. if u recall his touchdown pass was a fluke because it was tipped and caught by another receiver who wasn't his intended target. lawrence phillips scored the other td (with no pt after) and the kicker ended the scoring with a field goal.

tebow gots 2 rings just like frazier so lets no take anythin away frm tebow , but if warren sapp n ray lewis cant stop frazier, dont know if 01 canes could either

[briant420]

@chrisfraire21 Tebow's first ring came with Chris Leak as the starter.

[madden09guy]

@chrisfraire21 Tebow barely played when he got his 1st ring

[CaneTenacity]

@chrisfraire21 - Tommy was a beast, love the kid & his heart, determination. Nothing against Sapp and Ray Ray, they're both NFL Hall of Famers - but the '01 Canes D had: Antrel Rolle, DJ Williams, Ed Reed, Kelly Jennings, Phillip Buchanon, Rocky McIntosh, Johnathan Vilma, Vince Wilfork, and the late Sean Taylor. All those guys named are all in the NFL as starters - except Buchanon, he's on the Redskins though. 4 of them are Pro-Bowlers this past year. DJ was a Pro-Bowl alternate behind Ray Lewis

@chrisfraire21 The 01 Canes didn't come close to playing the second best team in college football. Colorado beat Nebraska worse than the Canes did just prior to the title game. The 01 Canes beat only one top ten team all year and that was #4 Nebraska. They are held in high esteem because of hindsight. Some of their players on the roster did well in the NFL meaning they developed into great players later. They strugggled against a much inferior Boston College team and barely beat Va Tech

[katdaddykeith]

@mongoose704 you do realize that in the 2001 national championship game, the halftime score was 34-0 right? they could have easily scored 70 points and shut out nebraskas offense (one of the huskers tds came off a punt return). ppl always talk about how close the boston college game was, but any true football fan knows that divisional games are the hardest ones to pull out. TEAM SPEED is what made the 01 canes so great, picture what they would do to any team given a month to prepare for them

[runway313]

If you look close you can see Ray Lewis over pursuing as the middle linebacker. #52 with his jersey rolled up. Nice fake Frazier!

[fuckgordon]

why wouldn't the NCAA give him a medical redshirt?

[spiderdragon1969]

Because the NCAA plays favorites. They want a Florida team or a California team or Ohio State or Notre Dame playing for the title. They never liked a midwest team with a quiet, born again Christian for a head coach. A team that plays by the rules, fans who are classy and a coach who is a gentleman!! The NCAA will give a medical redshirt to a Florida lineman who pulls a hamstring but not a Nebraska quarterback who has a blood problem. It's sad but true.

[goooogrrr]

so excellently said. Peace. GBR

@spiderdragon1969 

you do know ohio state and notre dame are in the midwest too right?

[spiderdragon1969]

But much more popular, which results in higher ratings. Now do you understand?

[aydog]

@spiderdragon1969

i see what you mean nebraska i still a popular and respected program though. i remember in 2001 alot of people thought you guys didnt deserve to get in the title game because of the way you ended the season but they still got the bid. frazier shouldve definitely gotten a redshirt though, im a miami fan but he was a nightmare to play against. he is one of the forgotten college greats lost in all this Tebow worhip

[hammerhead300]

@aydog I know I'm responding to a pretty old comment here, but as a Husker fan, I honestly believe that Nebraska didn't deserve to play in the '02 Rose Bowl. If my memory serves me right, Oregon was the team that should've been playing the Canes in Pasadena that night.

The fact that Nebraska lost to Miami probably makes it a lot easier to say that, but I knew after the loss to Colorado that Nebraska was in deep trouble. That was the beginning of the end for Solich.

i was there even though i was like one
