caveman99 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Trev won the 1993 Butkus Award, first Butkus award in NU history enough said. Link to comment
Eric Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I figured Trev will get the win, but I voted for Mike Croel. He was a beast, it seemed like he was in on every tackle. Link to comment
OnTilt1973 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I voted for Farley but was wondering why Ed Stewart and Leroy Etienne were not on the list. I am pretty sure they both played outside but not positive. Still probably would of voted for Farley regardless.... Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 I voted for Farley but was wondering why Ed Stewart and Leroy Etienne were not on the list. I am pretty sure they both played outside but not positive. I thought they both played on the inside. Stewart played with Trev and Travis Hill so I assumed he was the MLB in that corp. According to the All Conference listings on www.huskers.com Etienne was an ILB. I planned on having both of them with ILB's when that poll comes around. Link to comment
MinnesotaHusker Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I think Alberts was the best, but since he has a spot locked up I voted Thomas. Farley was great, but Thomas was a unanimous first team all-Big 8 pick three straight years, two time first team all-american and the Big 8 defensive player of the year in '88. Link to comment

According to the All Conference listings on www.huskers.com Etienne was an ILB. I planned on having both of them with ILB's when that poll comes around. I don't think Stewart was an ILB. As I recall, he was a converted safety, to get more speed at LB. I also remember the 94 season Orange Bowl vs. Miami when they analyzed a Miami TD pass, showing that Stewart made his first step to the line and that was enough for the receiver to beat him. It really struck me how just one false step was enough to cause a breakdown like this and how tough it must be to play at that level. Anyway, Stewart was definitely lined up outside on that play, and I think that was his regular spot. Link to comment

The 94 year it has him as WLB. For some reason I always thought he played on the inside. I guess I will need to include him on OLB poll #2. That one is my bad. Link to comment

Alberts, Thomas and Hill were stand up ends in 52 defense. That defense has no OLBs. Link to comment
