Hammerhead Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 David was an absolute beast. Imagining where our defense would've been this year without him is almost physically painful. Imagining where it'll be next year without him isn't much better... Quote Link to comment
Lonnie Utah Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 As a gamecock fan, of all the Husker players I saw on Monday, David impressed me the most. Quote Link to comment
Hoosker Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 He will go down as one of the greatest Blackshirts of all-time. He is definitely one of my top 5 favorite Huskers ever. He was so much fun to watch and always gave it 100%. Didn't get in trouble and represented the University with absolute class both years he was here. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Should David's two years and Ruud's 2003 season have an asterisk next to their names since their totals were aided by bowl games? They didn't start adding bowl stats to season totals until 2002. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Should David's two years and Ruud's 2003 season have an asterisk next to their names since their totals were aided by bowl games? They didn't start adding bowl stats to season totals until 2002. Naw. These are Nebraska fans. Everyone here knows that the numbers for Pillen, Murtaugh, Kunz and Knox are for fewer regular season games and don’t include the bowl game. But if this was the message board of some lesser program—like say, South Carolina—you’d need an asterisk. With a simplified language explanation in large block letters written in crayon. 1 Quote Link to comment
Blaze1up Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 The man was a game changer and single handily won games possessing skills of a hall of famer. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Will be sorely missed. Unlikely to be replaced by one player. Hopefully we have two (or three) backers who can make up for losing one great one. Quote Link to comment
