grandpasknee Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 What is the best, clean hit you've ever seen a Husker player make? Think mine is a tie between Bell laying out that dude from Wisconsin (penalty, yes, but I still think it was clean) and it wasn't so much of a hit, but when Suh rag-dolled the Texassss QB. The best tackle ever was me laying out a kid named Jerry. My buddy and I were playing tennis on a Sunday afternoon at our small town court (steel net). This punk, a year younger than us, came riding by on his bike a couple of times. Then he came by and heaved a waterballoon that hit me in the back. I chased the little prick through half of our town. He bailed from his bike and was on foot. Once he tired, he stopped and turned around hoping to laugh his way out of it. I didn't stop...full speed, perfect technique...shoulder in the gut, head to the side, I wrapped him up, drove through him and hammered him into the ground. It was a thing of beauty. I didn't say a thing..got up, jogged back to the tennis court and started playing again. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

huskerfan92 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Suh shot-putting McCoy around like a rag doll is probably one of my favorite hits. 1 Quote Link to comment
shyndy Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 im having a hard time finding it, but wasnt there one from like 94 against wyoming where the quarterback gets smashed simultaneous from both ends? 1 2 Quote Link to comment

grandpasknee Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 I forgot about this one...so did Suh get the tackle for a loss...or did the O-lineman? 1 Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Best pure hit? Of all time I would say John Ruud against Oklahoma. It was like a missile coming out of nowhere. Best hit that I have seen live is the block Mike Rucker laid on a poor K-State kitten on a Mike Fullman punt return for TD in 1995. That was a massive block. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Red Five Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 im having a hard time finding it, but wasnt there one from like 94 against wyoming where the quarterback gets smashed simultaneous from both ends? In the same vein, I'm pretty sure in 94 or 95 that we hit (KSU QB) Chad May so hard that we caved in his facemask. 2 Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 In person, I want to say it was the 99 A&M game where Mike Brown just de-cleated a WR on a jail break screen. Timed the hit perfectly. Quote Link to comment
Joe_5700 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Carlos Polk had some crazy hits on special teams that I recall. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Love the Kenny Bell hit in the B1G title game debacle. Whats that you say Mr. Official? It wasn't clean? Well you sir are a dumbass. Also the Crouch hit as he scored on Iowa, Suh chucking Mccoy off the field, Suh blasting Gabbert in the rain. 1 Quote Link to comment
