I agree with you on the 1971 team. But having Osbourne look the other way while Lawrence Phillips had serious repeat issues like beating up on women, and only suspended him for a couple games in the middle of the season instead of kicking him off the team, as he should have. But he made sure he was back for the games that would guarantee them the Fiesta Bowl bid. And made him the starter for the Fiesta Bowl instead of kicking him off the team tarnishes the 1995 teams record. Its a shame because they still had Ahman Green on the team who was an incredible college RB. Osbourne sold out that year.

Many tried and failed to help Phillips. I read a few months ago he is in prison.
