Richard Cirminiello's comments on Suh:
Hey, at least there was Suh before things got interesting in the fourth quarter.
On an otherwise miserable night for fans, both in attendance and at home, Nebraska DT Ndamukong Suh was the best reason to stay committed to an extremely sloppy game that took until the final 15 minutes to develop a following.
Suh is more than just one of the top interior linemen in the country and a high NFL draft choice next April. He’s an anomaly in the sport, that rare athlete, who has the athleticism and immense strength to toy with opposing blockers and change the pulse of a game. He did that countless times Thursday night at Missouri, commanding multiple blockers, harassing Tiger QB Blaine Gabbert, and hunting down ballcarriers from behind. At 6-4 and 300 pounds, he does things defensive tackles shouldn’t be doing, like dropping back into coverage and making tide-turning picks. There’s a name for players with Suh’s unique all-around skill set. They’re called All-Americans.
If you moved on to some other form of entertainment when Mizzou was leading 12-0 toward the end of the third quarter, no one can blame you. This one took longer to get started than a jalopy. However, you missed a stirring rally from the Huskers and another 60-minute effort from Suh, one of a small handful of defensive players worth spotlighting whenever he’s on the field.
