What's with the insane print? Are you mad or something?

Maybe It copied over very small and I increased the size.

The 1st # after the catagory: Example directly above is 'blocked kicks' the # is 2 by Kyle Vanden Bosch.

[B.B. Hemingway]

I, unlike Hedley, won't speak on players that I never saw play....So, the best I've ever seen over a whole career would be Wistrom, but I can't imagine any Husker having as dominate a two-year stretch as Suh had....Suh will go down as one of the best college football players of all time....

 

 

Note: I think that Jared Crick did enough too have his name mentioned in the OP.... If he would have played at a different time than Suh, he would get more credit....

[HuskerNationNick]

Ok, I was just confused, because you stated "single game" records and then you had this...

 

27; Trev Alberts, OLB, vs. Iowa St., Nov. 16, 1991

(3 sacks)

Fumble Recoveries:

 

I was wondering if that 27 was the number of fumble recoveries in a single game, season or career. Or if it was just some number that came with the copy/paste lol

I remember Rich Glover, barely, but I do remember his game against OU - 22 tackles. It reminds me of Suh's game against texas in the CCG. Pure dominance. How many OL blockers did Suh simply pick up and throw them into the QB if he could get to them. Of course Colt was a rage doll in Suh's hands. texas; never should have been given that game - they got whipped by our D.

It may be easier to see on the link provided vs the copied version. In the case above, the 27 represents yards for loss in the Iowa State game on 3 sacks. There is too much of a gap between the catagory and the stat. Fumble recoveries is the next catagory and its stats follow it.

It wouldn't have been given to them, if our offense would have pulled their heads at least halfway out of their asses....

No the 27 belongs to the catagory above Fumble Recoveries. There are too many lines between the catagory and the stat.

 

Got it. I guess if the link from work wasn't blocked it would have been more understandable (on my end). I was thinking those were complete stats lol.

funny how things have flipped since then. Then we wanted a 'serviceable offense' now we hope for a servicable D to go wt next years O.

[flatwaterfan]

John Dutton and John Parella were pretty good.

[Joe_5700]

Suh carried an entire team on his shoulders. As a linemen he had more pass breakups than anyone on the Huskers' 2012 top ranked pass defense. Glover, and many of these others had the benefit of playing with an offense that could compensate for a miss in a risk/reward situation. Suh didn't have that luxury.

 

I would say Neil Smith would have to be up there, but he's a prick and was hitting on my wife at the bar before I got there not too long ago.

 

Yes, for some games that seem to stick in people's heads. The Texas game in particular. Not so much against TT... Was he dominant like this for 4 entire seasons? No. 3 seasons? No. Ok, 2 seasons? No. He was not a dominant force for even a complete season in my opinion. He peaked in his senior season and did so in a huge way to become probably our best defender ever in that very short span. I would put Mike Brown, Ralph Brown,(not D-lineman but had to list) John Parella, Jason Peter, Grant Wistrom and a few others above Suh. They contributed (at a very high level) nearly as much to their defenses and did so for a much longer time.

[TGHusker]

John Dutton and John Parella were pretty good.

 

Dutton was pretty good. Should have been on the list. The fact that he helped to destroy texas in the bowl game is a big vote for him. Plus he's from my home state of SD.

Drafted in 1^st Round by the Baltimore Colts (5^th Overall)

· 1973 Europe NCAA-Armed Forces Trip

 

· 1973 First-Team All-American (AFC-Kodak, AP, UPI, Football News, Time Magazine, Football Writers Association of America, Sporting News, Walter Camp Foundation)

 

· 1973 First-Team All-Big 8 (AP, UPI)

 

· 1973 Nebraska Defensive Player-of-the-Game (UCLA, Iowa State)

 

 

1973 (Senior)

Earned All-America and All-Big 8 honors in ’73. Biggest of the all the Blackshirts, Dutton finished fourth on the team in tackles with 63 total tackles, 31 unassisted and 32 assisted tackles.

 

 

Dutton started off the season on a high note as he was named Nebraska Defensive Player-of-the-Game against UCLA in a season opening 40-13 win. In the game UCLA was held to 20 net passing yards. Dutton and the rest of the Blackshirts came up big against Kansas on October 20^th as the Huskers skimmed by in a 10-9 win, in the game Kansas was held to only 180 total yards, 90 yards each in the air and on the ground. Dutton was once again Nebraska Defensive Player-of-the-Game against Iowa State as the defense held the Cyclones to only 33-yards in the air in a 31-7 win.

 

 

In the 1974 Cotton Bowl against Texas Dutton and the Blackshirts held the Longhorns to one field goal and 196 total yards. An even bigger accomplishment was the fact that All-American fullback Roosevelt Leaks of Texas was held to only 48 yards rushing on the day. Nebraska went on to win the game 19-3, this was Nebraska's fifth straight bowl win dating back to a December 20, 1969 win over Georgia in the Sun Bowl, 45-6.
