NUance Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 If you could bring back any NU player from the past to play this year, who would it be? Oh heck, let’s say one player from for offense and one for defense too. Blackshirts, I’m going with MLB Carlos Polk. Offense is a little harder. More holes to fill. OT Zach Wiegert. You could plug him into a couple of spots. Quote Link to comment
kansas husker Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Defense: Suh Offense: Will Shields (I asume you ment to play in their prime) Quote Link to comment
mmmtodd Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 tommie or scott frost. Frost's style of hardnosed leadership and general buttkickin gwould do our offense wonders i believe. Quote Link to comment
typ3kal Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 tommie or scott frost. Frost's style of hardnosed leadership and general buttkickin gwould do our offense wonders i believe. I shied away from Tommie/Crouch pick.. I think with Turner Gill behind center we're definitely winning the Big12 this year. Quote Link to comment
huzkerbob Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I would choose Vince Ferragamo. Arguably the best passer to ever play for Nebraska. I suspect a QB of his caliber could easily fill the one glaring weakness we have on the 2010 roster. Quote Link to comment

kornhusker Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Without any of his trouble and in his prime Lawrence Phillips. Dude could run. Defense is a tough pick. We've had a lot of great players. I would love to have SUH back. Quote Link to comment
REDSTEEL Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Defense - Suh Offense - Gerry Gdowski He completed 71 of 136 passes (52.2 percent) for 1,326, threw only two interceptions (none in his last 92 attempts) for a school-record interception percent of 1.47, and threw 19 TD passes, one of Vince Ferragamo's school record. He threw at least one TD pass in 10 of NU's last 11 games, including each of the last nine contests, and exploded for 10 in the last three games. All those figures came together for an NCAA pass rating of 177.3 points, another school record, and one which surpasses the NCAA record of 176.9 set by Brigham Young's Jim McMahon in 1980--but Gdowski averaged only 12.4 attempts per game, and the NCAA minimum is 15. Gerry also proved to be the Huskers' biggest rushing threat ever at QB, as he ran for 925 yards, breaking the position record of 826 set by Taylor just the year before, and 13 TDs, tying Taylor's 1988 QB record. His four rushing TDs and 174 yards on the ground against Iowa State were both position records, while his 74-yard TD run vs. the Cyclones was the longest ever by a Nebraska QB and the longest run for a Husker in 1989. That performance helped him average 7.91 yards per attempt in 1989, breaking the old school record (minimum 100 att.) of 7.81 set by IB Mike Rozier in his Heisman Trophy-winning season of 1983. Gdowski's rushing and passing stats combined for a school-record 32 total-offense TDs, and 2,251 total-offense yards, second only to Jerry Tagge's record of 2,333 in 1971--but Tagge played 12 games that season, to Gdowski's 11 in 1989. Gdowski's per-game average of 204.6 broke Tagge's old mark of 194.4 Could imagine what he would do in a real passing game and why he would have the wheels to take NU out of a bad play call by Watson.

akhskrfan Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 For offense I'd say Johnny Rodgers, it's been a while since we had an electric playmaker on offense. He could also help with special teams. On defense, I'd say Trev Alberts, we have not seen a dominating LB in a while either. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 For this team? Swifty. Or Mo, I guess, but Swift's a guy I can just root for more. Man, what a jolt to this sorry WR corps by a lot. For defense, you'd be hard pressed not to say Suh, but we got some cogs on the DL. I think I'd bring back a safety. Minter maybe? Not too good on my Husker history at this position.

irafreak Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Perhaps Irving Fryar could give Zac a nice target... Quote Link to comment

I would personally bring back Matt Turman (The Terminator) because someone needs to protect John Connor so he can lead the Resistance to victory over Skynet and the machines. Quote Link to comment
