Key Huskers: #1 Jared CrickSean Callahan HuskerOnline.com Publisher
Cricks strengths
Crick plays the game with as much motor as any defensive linemen in the country. He's started 28 consecutive games now for Nebraska at defensive tackle.
His 9 1/2 quarterback sacks led NU in 2010 and that mark also ranked second in the Big 12 Conference. Even without Outland Trophy winner Ndamukong Suh next to him last season, Crick still proved he could put up equal production numbers as he did in 2009.
Most memorable play or moment
Crick had a lot of big games in 2010, but arguably his most dominant performance came against Idaho where he racked up 2 ? quarterback sacks for 30 yards of losses, to go along with four tackles for loss. Crick was dominant that day and helped close the door on the Vandals early, despite the fact the Huskers played sluggish for nearly the entire second half.
In NU's win over seventh ranked Missouri, Crick also had eight tackles, a sack and two tackles for loss as the Blackshirts put relentless pressure on Tiger quarterback Blaine Gabbert.
