College career
The majority of major college programs went unnoticed by Rozier. His transfer to Nebraska was a complete accident. Frank Solich, a former Nebraska head coach and assistant to head coach Tom Osborne, had been an avid observer of high school game films at the time. One player on the opposing team (Rozier) consistently caught Solich's eye when watching a film of Pennsauken's game against nearby Woodrow Wilson High School.
In order to raise his grades, Rozier spent his freshman year at Coffeyville Junior College in Kansas. He led the Coffeyville Ravens to a 9-0 record in their first season, hauling 1157 yards per clock average and scoring ten touchdowns.
Rozier first dazzled Husker fans in 1981 with a 93-yard touchdown victory over Kansas State. Rozier began vying for the starting position as the season progressed, a role he'd win in 1982 prior to his junior year. Rozier's progress was so evident that the talented and established Craig went to fullback.
Rozier set a new school record for rushing yards in a single season, leading Nebraska to their second straight Big 8 championship and a 12-1 record, while losing only in a tumultuous fashion to eventual national champion Penn State during his junior season. Rozier came off the bench in the second half to rush for 139 yards on 17 carries, leading Nebraska to a comeback victory despite suffering from a painful hip-pointer injury. In Heisman voting, Rozier was a consensus All-American during the 1982 season and finished 10th.
Nebraska's high-octane offense was often unstoppable as a senior, averaging 52 points and 401 passing yards per game. Rozier's statistics were mind-blowing; a nation's best 2,486 total yards with 2,148 of those coming off the ground and twenty-nine touchdowns scored; a nation's best 2,486 total yards with 2,148 of those coming on the ground; and a hundred-nine touchdowns. His 7.8 yards-per-carry record on the season stands as the third highest record for players with more than 214 carries in a season. Rozier rushed for 230 yards in the first half and finished with 285 total yards against Kansas, which was a school record. In each of Rozier's last four regular-season games of the 1983 season, he passed over 200 yards. Heisman Trophy, the highest individual player in college football, was given to the best individual player in college football, and was again an All-American.
His college career would come to an end after losing the 1984 Orange Bowl, in which Miami defeated Nebraska 31-30 for the national championship. At halftime against a Miami Hurricanes team with the second-ranked defense in football, Rozier had 138 yards on 21 passes, but he had to leave early in the third quarter due to an ankle injury. Rozier had 147 yards on 26 attempts.
