Commentary
• Stryker: “ The Blackshirts played one of their most heroic games in the long, storied history of Nebraska football.” • Shatel: “ They were so close. How close? One second. And a competent offense.” • McKeever: “ If anyone deserved to end his career in a BCS game, it was Suh.” • Barfknecht: “ Texas was lucky to win. And McCoy was lucky to survive.” | |
• McKewon: “ It was a ridiculous [offensive] plan relying on an otherworldly performance from the defense.” • McKewon: “ The Heisman is made for nights like this. The award means its most when it stands for true, prolific greatness. That’s Suh.” • Sipple: “ Yes, McCoy produced his eighth career fourth-quarter rally to victory. But he looked very ordinary much of the night.” | |
• LeBreton: “ Upon further review, there is a football god. Clearly, he wears burnt orange.” • Harvey: “ If it were possible for the Heisman to go to a defensive player on a four-loss team, Suh would be the recipient.” • Sherrington: “ In a throwback kind of game, Ndamukong Suh made an old-fashioned case for a Heisman.” |
