Goes to show how much of a force Suh was that Crick and Turner are in the top ten.

Yep. The missing piece for a great defense. Still waiting.

Yep. The missing piece for a great defense. Still waiting.

They were able to sack Indiana's QB three times, and pressure him many more. It's a start.

Wasn't Trev on the team 4 years not 3 as shown? I know few Huskers started as freshman but he was still on the roster so it should show 1990 to 1993?

He probably didn't have any stats in 1990. That's just a guess though. Back under Osborne most of our underclassmen wound up riding the pine for two or three years before they finally got the starting job as a junior.

That was back when we actually had a system for developing players and a talent pipeline (beyond just the OL Pipe).

Per another thread, does he get a .5 for Chins?

Noonan and Skow were on the same team as well. Impressive that they're both in the top 4.

Remember for some of the older guys that they played in a shorter season, and bowl stats weren't officially calculated until 2002.

Comparing 11 games for Trev Alberts (no bowl) is different than 13 games for Suh (yes bowl, plus CCG). It's even more impressive that the older guys got better stats in fewer games.

Also, the NCAA barred freshmen from playing varsity football until the early 70s.

Yep. The interior linemen on the list are basically Suh, Noonan and Skow. As a DT, Skow was on the light side IIRC. He might have been more of a rush end or field side end (is that the term for the lighter more mobile end - I think it is base end for the bigger of the two) had he played in a four man front like Wistrom.

I wonder what Trev total would have been with 6or8 more games

 

[GIFRRO]

Im shocked RG is on there in only 2 years. He was such a beast.
And Im surprised guys like Niel Smith or mike rucker arent on there. Those seemed to have a lot of sacks

Goes to show how crazy it is with Suh being a DT
