This is all the guys from poll #1 not named Alberts and I added Ed Stewart. Same rules if your guy isn’t here please select Other and type them in.

Wow....what a list of talent. I would vote, but I simply can't decide. All those guys were simply great players.

 
If you strictly look at it from a game changing performance, I think the clear answer is Farley. All on the list were great, but Farley stood above the crowd. He was sorely missed when he had DA attacks and was suspended. The entire complex of the D changed when he was in there versus Terwilliger.

I think the most interesting aspect of this poll is the era in which most of these players played. When we went away from the slow and big LB to a smaller much faster LB great things happened. Unfortunately, we have kind of gone away from that back to the bigger slower LB's in the past 4 or 5 years.

I went with the Sandman.

I agree about Farley's talent, but a guy who can't keep himself on Osborne's (or any other Husker coach's) team can't make my all time Husker team.

 
I went with Terrell Farley. It was between him and The Sandman. In the end, for me, The Sandman lost out because he is batsh*t insane. Both were ridiculously good.
