Perhaps you missed Nebraska's Tommie Frazier in the '96 Fiesta Bowl. Almost identical stats as Neb totally destroyed #2 and supposedly unbeatable Florida, 62-24
Vince Young reminds me ALOT of Tommie Frazier! To bad Tommie had blood clots i would have loved to see him in the NFL.
BTW one of my high school friends was on that team. Defensive End :D
I was living and working in Europe at the time. Was it Spurrier who got spanked? If so, it couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy.
Well, only if you consider 304 yards "almost identical" to 467. Frazier had 199 rushing and 105 passing (6 completed of 14 attempts, 43%), while Vince had 200 rushing and 267 passing (30 of 40, 75%)
Not really that close. But I'll admit that that Nebraska team may very well have been better than this Texas team. Depends on how one views Florida's offense (with their best receiver going out with a broken leg early in the game) as compared to USC, but the NU defense almost certainly was better than UT's.
A night I would rather forget. The wrong Frazier brother went to UF.
