knapplc Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Vince young wouldn't belong on this list even if he had played in Lincoln, or at least he wouldn't belong in the top ten. He was a great QB, but not that great. The best player I ever watched play here was Barry Sanders. That guy was flat out amazing. But we still beat his butt every year. Red Grange has to be in your top two. I never saw him, but by all accounts he was an incredible player. Quote Link to comment

Never Skerd' Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Well stats = greatness Football player could range from middle school Pewee to NFL career. The question was not "Greatest football player to face the Huskers and perform well in Lincoln" every old man I talk to say they were at the game vs Sanders and they usually say they havn't seen anything better since. oh and YES you're old.

huKSer Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 How about Johnny Rodgers, Guy Chamberlin, Mike Rozier, Tommy Frazer? They DID play in spring games against the Huskers, ya know? Quote Link to comment
HUSKER 37 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I was more impressed by Marcus DuPree than Barry Sanders when I saw them in Lincoln. And the very first game I attended had some kid playing for Missery..Gene? Wilder. We were number 1 for less than a week. Quote Link to comment

Best Spring Game performance I remember was LP..Freshman Year. Thought for sure we had another Heisman winner. Quote Link to comment
Rosh Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Sam Keller!! There were many games where I thought that he was the best player on the other team!! Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Sam Keller!! There were many games where I thought that he was the best player on the other team!! Wha....???? Keller was fine at Nebraska. He threw for 2,400 yards, 14 TDs and 10 INTs. Three years after this kid comes here, plays his heart out, behaves like a total class act, supports his team, and becomes Joe Ganz' biggest cheerleader after his injury, people still need to throw the guy under the bus? For what? I have never understood the Keller hate. The coach made a decision to play him, so what was he supposed to do, say no? Sam Keller wasn't the problem on the 2007 team, not by a long shot. 2 Quote Link to comment
