'95 flashback: Christian Peter said season was over before it started

The 1995 Nebraska football season was over almost before it began.

“I don’t know of anybody who wasn’t scared of us,” Christian Peter said recently. “I saw the fear across the line. I heard how nobody wanted to play us. We were intimidating and there was a good reason.

"We had Tommie Frazier, maybe the best quarterback ever, and we had, what, a dozen great running backs and the best offense in the country.

“Our only fear was losing, because we were the best-coached team, the best-practiced team and the most-motivated team in the country. We had Tom Osborne on our side.
