Mavric Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 20 - Zaire Anderson 19 - Baker Steinkuhler 18 - Eric Martin 17 - Jeremiah Sirles 16 - Stanley Jean-Baptiste 15 - Quincy Enunwa 14 - Alfonzo Dennard 13 - Ciante Evans 12 - Tommy Armstrong 11 - Randy Gregory 10 - Nate Gerry 9 - Jordan Westerkamp 8 - Maliek Collins 7 - Spencer Long 6 - Will Compton 5 - Kenny Bell 4 - Rex Burkhead 3 - Taylor Martinez 2 - Lavonte David 1 - Ameer Abdullah OWH To decide the very best of the Big Ten era, we considered their position — no kickers or punters are on the list — overall excellence, consistency, how they played in Big Ten games (over less important games against middling nonconference foes) and whether they were a part of the best teams in the Big Ten era. That last piece gives a slight edge, for now, to the 2012 team, which won the Big Ten Legends Division and at least played in a conference title game, even if that game was a blowout loss.

Mavric Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Interesting how many players on that list were scoffed at if not outright ridiculed by a decent amount of fans during their time here. Quote Link to comment

Snowbird Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 This list is exactly why Nebraska hasn't won a big 10 title 2 Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 This list is exactly why Nebraska hasn't won a big 10 title Agreed. To only have 3 elite players (Abdullah, David, Gregory) since 2011 isn't anything to get excited about. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 This list is exactly why Nebraska hasn't won a big 10 title Eh. Not exactly sure about that. 15 of those guys played in the NFL. Two are quarterbacks. The other three are Steinkuhler, Evans and Westerkamp. I'd say there are several other factors ranking ahead of the guys on that list as reasons why. Quote Link to comment
Snowbird Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Ok a lot of guys play in the NFL? Could you imagine the players from Ohio st? Wisconsin? Michigan? Hell Iowa would have better players? Quote Link to comment

Yeah, I'm sure they've had some better players. That doesn't mean they can't be beat. Michigan hasn't won a title since we've been in the conference either - they haven't even won their division. Ohio State has won one title. There's more to it than just having the best players. Quote Link to comment
Snowbird Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Agree to disagree. Michigan has been to 2 or 3 BCS games? Ohio state playoffs and national title? Michigan State? Playoffs big 10 title. All those teams have had better players then Nebraska. Great players make a difference? Look at what David did for that defense in 2 years? Quote Link to comment
