'09 Rewind: Counting down the season's best individual efforts

[GSG]

1. Suh sacks Texas. Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh had already secured his place among the pro scouts and diehard observers with dominant, nationally televised turns against Missouri and Oklahoma and a more impressive personal stat line than some entire defensive lines. But it wasn't until he singlehandedly reduced one of the most prolific offenses in the nation to rubble in the Big 12 Championship game that Suh leapt from run-of-the-mill All-American to bona fide, Heisman-worthy star.

 

Suh drew headlines with 4.5 sacks and another pair of tackles for loss, and for generally throwing Colt McCoy around like a rag doll, but Texas' numbers tell the story: The mighty Longhorns finished with 18 yards rushing, nine three-and-outs, three turnovers and a single touchdown, on a possession that began in Nebraska territory. Statistically, it was the worst night of McCoy's career, and without the infamous second added to the clock to allow the 'Horns to set up for the winning, BCS-clinching field goal at the gun, Suh could have been credited with personally dismantling one of the great seasons of the entire decade. All in a night's work.
