Can't say as I disagree. NU never should have been in that game against Miami.
Eric Crouch, 2002, Nebraska
Already controversy was rearing its ugly head before the teams took the field. Nebraska had been spanked by Colorado 62-36, but still managed to limp into the national championship game to play undefeated Miami. Heisman winner Eric Crouch, who beat out Florida's Rex Grossman by a mere 62 points, won his trophy after a record-high one-third of the voters didn't turn in their ballots. Crouch rushed for 144 yards, but went 5-for-15 passing, with one interception and one fumble, as Nebraska lost 37-14. The voters must have known something.
