Let's take a look at the candidates in this discussion:


1. Tommy Frazier - Nebraska - Frazier led his team to back-to-back consensus national championships in 1994 and 1995, and he remains the only quarterback to have done so since the 1950s. The 1995 Nebraska team is considered to have been one of the most dominant in the history of American college football. In a 2006 ESPN.com poll, the results of which aired on Sportscenter, the 1995 Nebraska team was voted the best college team of all time. In 2004, CollegeFootballNews.com named Frazier the #33 player on their list of the Top 100 Greatest College Football Players of All-Time.

Additionally, he rushed 194 times for 838 yards and 22 touchdowns on the ground through 11 games. Tebow's 51 touchdowns were more than 87 Division 1-A Teams scored.

YOung won that national Championship all by himself almost. He was spectacular early in that comeback win over Ohio State on the road. And he was even better against USC. The guy was unstoppable. He got Mack Brown off the hook. Big time.

The game I will never forget that yr, Texas-Ok St...Texas was getting destroyed at the half, I think they were laying 21 and were down by like 21 at the half, soemthign crazy, not only did they comeback but they came back and covered, by 7!

I am pretty sure on the facts...one of the biggest pointspread comebacks I've ever seen, maybe the biggest.

Right. USC was unbeatable at that point. Great game. I think the game you mean was against Michigan in that Bowl game when he just dominated them. He had that long stride and was so smooth as a runner. He ate mich up. Memories!
