OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — While many of his fans in Nebraska are outraged, Tommie Frazier says he’s not upset that he didn’t get elected to the College Football Hall of Fame this year.

Frazier said Tuesday that he didn’t pay much attention to the selection process and he can’t be mad about an outcome he couldn’t control.

Frazier and offensive lineman Will Shields were the only former Nebraska players among the 79 candidates on the Football Bowl Subdivision ballot. Shields was among the 14 former players chosen for induction.

Frazier quarterbacked the Cornhuskers to perfect seasons and national championships in 1994-95. He was the 1995 Heisman Trophy runner-up.

Frazier said his feelings aren’t hurt. He said it was an honor to be on the ballot for the first time.
