Barry Sanders vs. Dave Rimington

[knapplc]

Barry Sanders takes on Husker legend Dave Rimington. This is fluid speed vs. overwhelming power, which makes perfect sense as that embodies the philosophies of Oklahoma State and Nebraska throughout the 1980s when both players graced the gridiron.

#1 seed Barry Sanders makes the Elite Eight having defeated:

#64 Charles Rogers

#32 Lawrence Taylor

#17 Mike Rozier

All told, Sander's opponents have earned a total of two votes - both going to Husker Heisman winner Mike Rozier.

#24 Dave Rimington makes the Elite Eight having defeated:

#41 Calvin Johnson

#9 Earl Campbell

#25 Bronko Nagurski

Rimington's victories have been a little closer than Sanders' as his opponents have earned nine points through three rounds.

Only one has an award named after him, and only one is a Husker.....

If solely on college ball, Rimington has my vote.
