[Husker] Brilliant!

[Steve Stone]

I realize it's not proper to discuss actual football plays on the 
HuskerList, but I can't help myself.

My nomination for the most brilliant unheralded play of the year:

True freshman d-back Prince Amukamara chased KSU receiver Calvin 
Murphy down and tackled him on the one yard line, having picked up 
about five yards on Murphy within thirty-five yards. (Remember, 
Murphy's a true speedster, fastest of the Wildcats.)

I haven't seen anything like it since Army's Glenn Davis made a 
similar chase-down on Navy's Clyde Scott in the 1945 Army-Navy game.

For those of you who are not familiar with track and field history, 
Clyde Scott of Smackover, Arkansas, was a sprinter and hurdler, 
winner the Bronze in the 120 meter hurdles at the 1952 Helsinki 
Olympics.

That's just one of many reasons Glenn Davis was listed today as the 
eleventh-best college football player of all time. (He also won the 
Heisman.)
