I'm sure this topic has been discussed a time or two but I want some insight as I was younger at the turn of the millennium.
2001: Crouch 2600 yds & 25 TD's throwing/running. 11 wins. Heisman. Title game.
2002: Lord 2800 yds & 18 TD's throwing/running. 7 wins.
Here's my current perception of how Husker fans treat them.
One is remembered as an all-time great and signals the end of Husker dominance.
One is irrelevant when talking about best QB's and is tied to Husker downfall.
How good was Lord? Did he get a fair shake? Or is he a victim of unsustainable expectation?
