All Time DE

[Pedro Guerrero]

This is #2 for the Defensive End position. It is all the players from the previous poll not named Wistrom plus Kyle Vanden Bosch, Mike Rucker, and Chad Kelsay. If I still missed who you want to vote for select Other and type them in.

Since most people are to young to remember Willie Harper, I will add some info. Hope that is ok. If not beat me.

This was a hard one...my choices was Harper, Rucker, and Vanden Bosch...had to go with Rucker though, he was good and consistent, solid player....but it was a tough choice between those guys - they were all good.

KVB

KVB is a machine who didn't slow up one bit the entire game. Easy vote I thought. Others were good but not at the same pace as KVB was.

Tomich...and the reasons for it have already been made in the previous DE thread

I can't say I've ever seen a Nebraska player control a game from the DE spot like KVB did against Northwestern in the 2000 Alamo Bowl. He literally shut down Northwestern's offense, which put up fantastic numbers all year, for the whole game.

Kyle Vanden Bosch. Beast

 

[tmfr15]

I went Rucker, but the info from cb1954 is definitely worth noting.

 

[huskertim]

I had to go with Harper for his impact on that team at that time. Big difference maker on the field. Lots of good names not on the list is a testament to NU tradition

 

[Street Novelist]

come on people...don't forget the great Jared Tomich

 

[Pedro Guerrero]

Tomich takes it.
