The Nebraska football program was once known for its stifling defense. One of those defenses ranks among the best ever, but not the one you think.
Few programs in college football hold defensive prowess as close to their hearts as Husker fans do. The Blackshirts and the Skull and Crossbones symbol that Blackshirt players throw after a big play are synonymous with the glory days of Nebraska football.
Over the years, there have been a few Cornhuskers defenses that most fans would think would go down as among the best in college football history.
