I remember Rich Glover, barely, but I do remember his game against OU - 22 tackles. It reminds me of Suh's game against texas in the CCG. Pure dominance. How many OL blockers did Suh simply pick up and throw them into the QB if he could get to them. Of course Colt was a rage doll in Suh's hands. texas; never should have been given that game - they got whipped by our D. It wouldn't have been given to them, if our offense would have pulled their heads at least halfway out of their asses.... funny how things have flipped since then. Then we wanted a 'serviceable offense' now we hope for a servicable D to go wt next years O.

LOL

I was wondering if that 27 was the number of fumble recoveries in a single game, season or career. Or if it was just some number that came with the copy/paste lol It may be easier to see on the link provided vs the copied version. In the case above, the 27 represents yards for loss in the Iowa State game on 3 sacks. There is too much of a gap between the catagory and the stat. Fumble recoveries is the next catagory and its stats follow it.

All of the OU fans and the Tulsa newspaper became believers after OU's big loss to A&M

I have no doubt that TM will start all games next year outside of an injury. My big wish, however, is that Armstrong and/or Straton be placed in real world situations that matter - not clean up duty against St Mary's School fo the Blind. There was zero QB developement this year - outside of Armstrong in practice. Accountability has a pretty good response to this. Truth of the matter is Nebraska treats it's quarterbacks no differently than any other university. We don't blow teams out, therefore we don't have the luxury to bring in the back-up. And it's not like this is 1995 and we've got a proven commodity (like Brook Berringer was) sitting in the wings. Very few if any college teams throw their back-up into the fire in meaningful games - your starter sees the snaps. The fact that our back-up QB's see very little playing time doesn't bother me in the slightest. Armstrong can ride the bench another year, learn the playbook, see mop-up duty, and come out firing in his third year after having watched patiently for two. Nothing about that situation bothers me. Ok - I can live wt that response to a certain extent. If TM gets injured, it helps to have a QB in the wings who won't have the live game jitters. Maybe what I want is the 1995 blowouts - then everyone gets experience.

Where are the numbers? I just see blanks after the ":" lol The 1st # after the catagory: Example directly above is 'blocked kicks' the # is 2 by Kyle Vanden Bosch.

Maybe It copied over very small and I increased the size.

Some interesting single game records by DTs and DEs.

yes Trev has the most in number and Jim Skow has the most in yards http://www.huskers.c...f?DB_OEM_ID=100 Sacks: 29.5; Trev Alberts, OLB, 1990-93 (196 yards) Yards: 223; Jim Skow, RT, 1983-84-85 (26 sacks) that's career. We're talking about single season. In which case, I think that Nexus is right because I recall Trev's number being 15 sacks when he got it. He didnt get any against oklahoma 2 weeks later because he was injured so early, but he did have another 3 or 4 in the Orange Bowl.

If I was to rank this by time periods, I'd have to say that the heyday of the defensive lineman at NU was the Mid 1990s. With the Mid 1980s second - esp 1986 Rich Glover 70-72 Larry Jacobson 1969-71 Danny Noonan 84-86 Neil Smith 1985-87 Broderick Thomas 1985-88 Kenny Walker 1988-90 Grant Winstrom 1994-97 Jason Peter 1994-97 Jared Tomich 1994-96 Christian Peter 93-95 Steve Warren 1999-2000 Kyle Vanden Bosch 1998-2000 Ndamukong Suh 2007-9

They already have one. It's called espn. So true. ESPN is a propaganda network for the SEC like NBC is for Obama.

I didn't know that. Completely forgot about him. Where would you rank him on the list?

We have threads going on the greatest QB and RB in NU history. Since our current D appears to be our weakest spot, I thought I'd start a thread on who our greatest D lineman has ever been. This may really be a thread about who is our second greatest D lineman - as there may be a consensus that Ndamukong Suh may be the greatest. But lets place it in the context of the season in which they played. I don't think Glover could play the same postition at the same time Suh played, but Rich Glover may have been as dominant in his day as Suh was in his. He had 22 tackles against OU in the game of the century. The same could be said of Grant Winstrom in the 1990s, Wayne Neylan in the mid 1960s and Danny Noonan in the 1980s. Below is my list of the top 14. I may have forgotten someone - if so add them in to where you think they should be ranked. Outside of Suh, I don't have anyone ranked beyond 2000 - have we been that poor since then relatively speaking or am I just forgetful. Maybe an honorable mention for Crick and Turner. The greats in my opinion are: Ndamukong Suh 2007-9 Rich Glover 70-72 Grant Winstrom 1994-97 Danny Noonan 84-86 Wayne Meylan 1965-67 Neil Smith 1985-87 Larry Jacobson 1969-71 Jason Peter 1994-97 Broderick Thomas 1985-88 Jared Tomich 1994-96 Kenny Walker 1988-90 Christian Peter 93-95 Steve Warren 1999-2000 Kyle Vanden Bosch 1998-2000

I have been following Oregon and NCAA violations - what are they looking into and is stuff that would fall directly on Kelly's shoulders?

We recruit Scott Frost again??? Can Scott coach the OL - he ran behind a good one.

If Nebraska has a top 20 defense next year, this team will be scary good, and could win the whole thing, imo.... This offense is suitable of a National Champion, now can the defense get close too that level? Let's not forget - besides our D we need the O line to perform much better. TM spent too much time scrabbling or picking himself off his back last year. We had too many red zone trips that ended wt a field goal or no points. Skill players can only do so much with out a consistent low penalty line.

I have no doubt that TM will start all games next year outside of an injury. My big wish, however, is that Armstrong and/or Straton be placed in real world situations that matter - not clean up duty against St Mary's School fo the Blind. There was zero QB developement this year - outside of Armstrong in practice.

I completely agree. Martinez is faster than Tommie Frazier ever was and, if my memory serves me correct, is a statistically better thrower. You give Martinez the same kind of tools and weapons Frazier had at his disposal, and I wager we're championship contenders and Martinez receives nowhere near the criticism he does. Similarly, you put Frazier on this team and I doubt his performances, statistics, and w/l ratio are as good. In regards to Martinez fumbles, I want to say it was a more consistent problem that was existent in some games and non-existent in others. The problem, of course, is the overall number - we fumbled 35 times as a team this year and lost 22 of those fumbles, and Martinez was the leading culprit. Ball security has been a huge problem with this team the last couple of years, and it all comes back to fundamentals, discipline, and really a shade of luck. Frazier was a playmaker. IMO he would still be making plays even with this (2012) offense. Make no mistake about that. As for the fumbling by good old Taylor he's fumble prone. Period. No matter what offensive line he'd run behind you still get tackled. Would his fumbles go down behind Frazier's o line? Maybe. Possibly. Moreover to even remotely compare the two quarterbacks in my opinion is ludacris. One dwarfs the other. Frazier's football IQ was second to none. If my coaching career depended on who I picked as QB (Bo has done this wt TM it appears - no one else is developed behind him) and I could pick any NU QB - it would be Tommy hands down. Gill would be 2nd. I would even put Frost ahead of TM because of leadership alone.

I completely agree. Martinez is faster than Tommie Frazier ever was and, if my memory serves me correct, is a statistically better thrower. Frazier had a 48% completion percentage in 1995. Can you imagine the uproar if Taylor threw for that low of a percentage? It wasn't that big of the issue - we didn't pass that much then. It was just as likely to get a 60 yard run as a 60 yard pass completion.

I remember watching at my Uncles - all of the family was together in S. Falls, SD finishing up the turkey. We all watched the game and red knuckled it through the 4th quarter. I was a Freshman in HS. Johnny the Jet Rogers - Man, Woman and Child - did that put them in the aisle. http://courtmerrigan.wordpress.com/2011/06/11/man-woman-and-child-did-that-put-em-in-the-aisles-and-watch-the-drumme/

Here is a link that ranks the top 4 year span. They have NU # 1 and Bama #2. There is no mention of the Bob Father. You'd think he'd get mentioned with his 2 NC in 70-71 & 1969-72 run would get him on the list. He went 42-4-2 wt back to back NC wt one tie as the only blemish on that 2 year period. The 71 team has often been ranked in the top 5 all time by some sport magazines. In years past I've seen the 71 team even ranked ahead of the 95 team. I've also seen the 95 team and 71 team ranked 1 & 2 all time or 1 & 3. I cannot remember the sources - this was a few years ago - during the run by USC a few years ago - that team (pre sactions) was the other team in the top 3). http://www.tampabay.com/sports/news/article1270350.ece Here is what the article said about # 1 NU from 94-97 1. Nebraska (1994-97) Hard to beat this Cornhuskers stretch under coach Tom Osborne. This is how Nebraska did over these four seasons: 13-0, 12-0, 11-2, 13-0. It included at least a share of three national titles, including the 1995 team that might have been the best ever. The '95 Huskers won by an average score of 53-14, averaged 562 yards per game and never trailed all season in the second half.

i think Gill is most fan's # 2 and perhaps our 'favorite son' - having given so many of his years to NU as a player and coach. He was a better passer than Frasier. He had the opportunity to win 3 NC - whisper close pass deflection, a crooked out of bounds line at PSU, and the opportunity was there against Clemson his soph year. That was a 'golden' time. Perhaps the 82 team was the best team not to have won the NC - it had better D than the 83 team.

Good connection. The O line is the foundation of success for all of the 'skilled' positions. With a poor line we cannot run well, a QB won't be able to have time to pass efficiently - this also affects receivers - it takes time to get through their routes. Such a huge need to get the pipeline going again. Succesful programs dominate in the trenches period.
