I always find this topic interesting to hear what people think. Some of us were not born to witness the '66 Irish, but we've been around for awhile. There have certainly been a lot of good ones, but.....
And it pains me to admit this, but I'd have to say the '95 Nebraska team was the best I ever saw.
A defense that was very stout, allowing just 13 points per game. Their offense averaged over 53 points per game. Seriously, over 53 points per game.
They beat the No. 2 team in the country at the end in a bowl game, Florida, 62-14, and it wasn't even that close.
True, they had some real questionable characters on that squad, including Lawrence Phillips, but can't deny their greatness.
What is interesting, however, is the entire team didn't produce many great pros, which is kind of surprising. They had a few like Grant Winstrom, but overall, hardly any did anything in the NFL.
I can't remember a better team than that one, however. They averaged 7 yards per carry as a team. Their O-line didn't give up a sack the entire year. That's nuts! Their D allowed on 2.5 yards per rush and just 30 percent 3rd down conversion.
That is some domination!
