A couple of coworkers thought of a question for me when I was going to write this article. Take the current 3-3-5 system, but put any former Huskers in the middle three, who are they?
My response is Barrett Ruud, Carlos Polk and Lavonte David. Guys who were ALWAYS named every time the “tackle made by” announcement came over the PA system. These dudes just made plays. They were clearly the smartest defender on the field and probably the most athletic as well.
