We’ve had some upsets in past brackets, but this one only features one of the top four seeds in the final matchups. It shows how hard it is to seed fullbacks. It also shows how hard it is to compare players from decades ago with players of recent times.
For many CN fans, I think we’d have been perfectly content with a Tom Rathman vs Cory Schlesinger matchup for the championship. For a school with Nebraska’s proud history of fullbacks, it is not surprising that such a matchup occurred in the second round.
Tony Davis pulled the upset over #1 seed Dick Davis.
