knapplc Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 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.

Mavric Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 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. Link to comment
