Greatest of all time

The best college football player I ever saw in person was Johnny ‘The Jet’ Rodgers. Man, Woman, and Child, he was a living, breathing HUDL film.

Most of you aren’t old enough to have seen two of the best: Tom Novak and Bobby Reynolds.

YAHOO....so true!!!

Wayne Gretzky

 

[Deighved]

Novak, for sure. (Djokovic, that is..)

Dave Rimmington at Center was truly in a league of his own. It's fitting that the best center in the country wins an award with Dave's name on it because there hasn't been anyone like him before or since.

The thing I remember about watching Rimmington play is that Dave was so damn fast snapping the ball and firing out that if often looked like he was offsides.

Tell me--did we EVER run a QB sneak ( with DR at center) that did not result in a 1st down or a TD?

Guy was the GOAT --until Jurgens makes us forget bout him

In an era of college football that was generally more conservative, I recall TO going for it on fourth down a number of times when Rimmington was under center.

Rich Glover was as dominant of a college DL as I have seen.
The Boz at LB for college
Huey Luey and Dewey Selmon (can't remember which one was so good at OU)

I believe Urlacher played safety in college.

The best running back I have seen was LP ... hands down (granted I dont go back much further than that)

SUH has also go to be on the list havent seen many dominate a game from the DT position the way he did.

Urlacher played a hybrid position at UNM. The Lobo back lined up all over the field. Heck HC Rocky Long had him returning punts and kickoffs also. He was simply the best athlete on the field.

IMHO, the Huskers three best individual defensive performances of all-time were Glover vs OU in 71, Suh vs. Mizzou in 10, and Suh vs. Texas in 10.

That's not your opinion Dr, that's a fact.

Beat me to it Hunchback. Glover was unblockable that day.

Amen on Rich Glover. That guy was a one-man wrecking crew who doesn't get nearly enough credit. One of the all-time greats.

The names Selmon and Sims still make me involuntarily shake my head. They ruined some perfectly good seasons for us in the 70s.

I was in Tampa the other day and there is actually a Selmon Expressway there. Yikes!

And the Oklahoma center that was up against Glover was an All American.

Like anybody knows that *****'s name today

Tom Brahaney.

Tom Brahaney.

Tom Brahaney
All American 71 & 72
NFL for 9 years

Couldn't slow Glover down.

 

[GIJoeRed]

Can I just keep looking at the retired NU names on the wall under North stadium in Memorial, and visit the trophy buildings around campus to make my list?....the national memory thing can be a strain, so I'll limit my list to what my heart and head says.....Nebraska players for evaaaaaaaa
