2012 was a fun year for the offense with lethal depth pretty much everywhere you looked. Both Beck and Taylor have certainly gotten more blame and criticism than they ever rightfully deserved - would've easily had three 1,000 yard rushers if Rex hadn't spent a lot of the season injured.

I wonder how it would look with top 25. ND is in there every year for no reason.

Suh is ranked by this writer as # 1 thus far in this century. But no other Huskers were ranked :facepalm: - A big change from the previous decades.

1. DT Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska
Key accomplishments: 2009 Lombardi Award, 2009 Outland Award, 2009 Bronko Nagurski Trophy, 2009 AP college football player of the year, 2009 Heisman finalist; 49.5 career tackles for loss, 24 career sacks, 4 interceptions, 2 touchdowns.
A four-star prospect from Oregon, Suh enjoyed three good years before posting one of the most devastating individual seasons in college football history. Suh was unblockable in 2009. Despite triple-teams, countless holding penalties (called and uncalled) and entire game plans designed to avoid the middle of the field, he made 20.5 TFLs with 12 sacks. His performance in the Big 12 championship game against Texas -- seven TFLs, 4.5 sacks -- was among the best ever. I realize we don't give Heismans to defensive players, but it's still utterly inexcusable that he didn't win the Heisman that year. Best player of the 2000s and one of the best of all time.
