[Husker] Participation and Non-Participation

[Steve Stone]

I'd like to be the first to post a Husker-related topic in 2006, at 
least on this subject.       :-)

Among the Alamo Bowl trivia, I noticed several interesting items 
relating to Husker player participation. Even though I follow the 
players' ups and down with a degree of attention, I found some items 
fascinating.

1) Cody Glenn, Brandon Jackson, Harrison Beck, Mark Le Flore, Mike 
Stuntz, Isiah Fluellen, Wali Muhammed, and Lydon Murtha didn't put in 
an appearance all evening. Marlon Lucky had one (1) play from 
scrimmage aside from kickoff return duties.

2) Freshman Leon Jackson played a little as did redshirt frosh 
placekicker Jake Wesch, frosh WR Christ Brooks, frosh linebacker 
Philip Dillard [thought they were going to get him a medical RS), 
redshirt frosh defensive end Ty Steinkuhler, frosh linebacker Nick 
Covey, soph strong safety Ben Eisenhart, redshirt frost defensive end 
Adam Blankenship, and soph defensive end Kevin Luhrs. Most of these 
are relatively unknown, and I imagine most played on kicking teams.

3) I have no idea what conclusions, if any, can be drawn from the foregoing.
