GOAT-D1 Ndamukong Suh vs. Eric Crouch

[knapplc]

The second matchup featuring two Huskers will be much a more difficult decision, I'm thinking. In the first round, Rich Glover defeated Will Shields somewhat handily. I'm betting this vote is far closer.

 

 

At #36, Ndamukong Suh is by far the highest seed left in the tournament. Suh made it to this round having defeated:

 

#29 Ron Dayne

#4 Jim Thorpe

#20 Ricky Williams

 

Suh's competition in the first three rounds earned a total of 7 points, with six of those going to #4 seed Jim Thorpe.

 

 

#21 Eric Crouch made his way to the Elite Eight having defeated:

 

#44 John Elway

#12 Billy Simms

#5 Red Grange

 

Crouch's trip through the bracket has been far more rocky, as his opponents have earned 20 total votes; 6 for Elway, 9 for Simms and 5 for Grange.

Just so I'm not too much of a homer - tough in an all NU matchup - I think Crouch is over-rated here as well. Eight greatest Huskers of all time? Probably. Eight greatest players in college FB history? Not so much.
