Who you got? Here's my best shot at it:
Tommie Frazier
Arguably the most dominant stretch of CFB history belongs to? 90's Huskers. At the peak of that stretch, arguably the most dominant team in CFB history? '95 Huskers. Who's the face of that team? Tommie. Lots of talent on that team but I want one representative from it, and it's him. Tommie represents CFB domination, and for that he even deserves consideration for Mount Rushmore of all CFB too.
Ndamukong Suh
Suh represents individual domination and I consider myself lucky for getting to watch him at Nebraska. Multiple analysts have said if they could re-vote they'd select Suh for Heisman in '09 because he really was the best player in the country. Lasting images of Columbia in the rain, or pick-six with a stiff-arm of the coach's kid, or throwing Colt like a rag doll. Heck, you couldn't even look away for the opposing team's extra point attempt because there was always a chance Suh might block it. Dude was next level.
Johnny Rodgers
When listening about Husker greats, I often hear the terms "great", "amazing", or "one-of-a-kind". But for only one Husker have I heard the words like "legend" and "mythical", and that's Johnny Rodgers. Too young to really know, I only have to go with what I hear or can see on grainy film. Some of you may have better insight and suggest there were more talented players, but from how it's portrayed to me, Rodgers is Husker football royalty.
Dean Steinkuhler
You can't have a Mount Rushmore for Nebraska without representation from the offensive line. Steinkuhler is a Nebraska native who had an epic season in '83 which included the Fumblerooski in the title game. I like Steinkuhler here because it gives a nod to Mike Rozier, who could easily be on this list as well. Also gives a nod to T.O., who had the kahunas to go for 2 instead settling for a tie that would've given him a share of the title.
