I believe that team from Nebraska that year still holds the record for Margin of Victory and like you said, rested a lot of their starters in the 2nd half. But that only lead to the starters being even more rested for the next game in which they were able to ooast to victory.

That Canes roster was absolutely loaded with 1st round talent. I wouldn't be surprised if 30 players on that team were not on NFL rosters at some point. They had back ups that were future top 10 picks. You could build an NFL team around what they had.
That was the little secret on Nebraska running backs. The Olines were usually so good that the backs probably missed out on some development. The ones that had the most NFL success during that entire running tenure (80's-90's), besides Ahman Green, were mostly fullbacks: Andra Franklin, Cory Schlesinger, Tom Rathman and then Roger Craig who was a rb but switched to fb to make way of future Heisman Mike Rozier, whom had just moderate NFL success compared to the hype.
The 2001 Miami vs 1995 Nebraska debate is open to interpretation. Both sides obviously were loaded with NFL talent, but besides my obvious homerism for Nebraska, I'd look at the coaching staff for the difference makers. It isn't even close, as it's a landslide in Nebraska's favor. That would be the difference, imo.
On Phillips, I'm not surprised something happened. He was in a rough prison. The guy obviously had issues existing in normal society, but his prison sentence was a joke. He was sent away for the 3rd strike rule on an incident where nobody got hurt. I'm not justifying it, just saying the punishment didn't fit the crime. This is a clear case of somebody that was fucked up from a very early age by bad parenting.
