Hoosker Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 when he lead the charge with hagg returning the field goal attempt against texas in '10. that stands out for me. gomes was just a baller. competitive, passionate, smart, and just a great blackshirt. really loved watching him play. Not to mention one of the coolest cats when it came to interviews. Chill as a cucumber. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 gomes is one of my favorite players and i loved watching him probably the most in a long time. He never seemed out of position. Like ever. It was amazing. That INT in the 2009 Big XII Title game (should have been) legendary. Gomes also had that sweet INT against Mizzou in the rain where he jumped the out route and took it down the sideline to set up a score. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 People thought Dejon Gomes and Eric Hagg were underrated? Maybe in terms of national awards I guess but anyone who was a Husker fan who halfway watched them play knew they were ballers. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Doug DuBose the 1984 defense Always such a what if, if DuBose didn't tear up his knee. Keith Jones was a great fill-in, but DuBose could have been special. The '84 defense carried that team to the brink of a championship. There just wasn't a capable QB after 3 years of Gill. 1 Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Among 1980s I-backs Ken Clark doesn't get mentioned very often. He wasn't as fast as Jones, wasn't the all-around guy like Rozier, and didn't have the NFL career that Craig had. All Clark did was produce. His rushing duel against Barry Sanders in 1988 was amazing. Not much defense was played that day. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I will throw out Tony Veland from the mid 90s teams. Not many guys can tear up a knee, move from QB to defense, and then play at an All-Conference level. He may have lost his offensive QB job to Frazier, but Veland was the QB of the defense.

Hooked on Huskers Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Matt, Matt & Matt company. O'Hanlon with the exemption of VTech play (burned), Herian who was shorted by devastating leg injury and Davison .... at the time, finished his career ranked second all time among Nebraska receivers with 93 receptions, trailing only Heisman Trophy winner Johnny "Jet" Rodgers.

NUance Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Eric Johnson, WLB 1995-'99. The guy had all the tools. He held the WLB position record for 10 yd dash and 40 yd dash. Awesome stats his soph and jr years. But then fell off the map his senior year. Only played in nine games. What happened to him his senior year--I can't recall? Was he injured? Other issues? He got drafted by the Raiders in 2000. Ran back a fumble for a TD in Superbowl 37 (2003). BIO Quote Link to comment
