You’ve probably heard of the expression “Trophy Season.” That is certainly applicable to former Nebraska football quarterback Eric Crouch. Wednesday, it was announced that he would round out the Nebraska Athletics Hall of Fame.
Crouch certainly deserves the honor. He won the Heisman Trophy in 2001, and he led the Nebraska football program to the national title game. During a storied career in Lincoln, he passed for nearly 5,000 yards and rushed for more than 3,700 yards. He totaled 97 touchdowns, 34 of which came on the ground. He was a dual-threat quarterback in every sense of the word, and he led Nebraska through some very successful times
The Nebraska great joins Sam Francis, Maurice Ivy, Amanda Burgoyne, Jordan Larson, and Terry Pettit in the Hall of Fame class.
