Look who comes in at #22- JLew
Most defensive coaches are content if their tackles merely clog up running lanes and allow linebackers to make plays. Suh is an exception. He made 76 stops last season to become the first defensive lineman since 1973 to lead the Huskers in tackles. Suh also had 19 tackles for loss – the eighth-highest total in school history – and 7.5 sacks. Suh is more athletic than the typical 300-pounder. In fact, he returned two interceptions for touchdowns last season.

Scout.com: 2009 CFN Preview - Unit Rankings ... DLs

You can tell that Nebraska is starting to make it's way back as they start getting ranked towards the top in various unit rankings. Talent, combined with coaching, wow what a concept- JLew

Colorado Gives Football Player A Blog, Takes It Away When He Blogs About His Libido - Censorship - Deadspin
Colorado's athletic department recently gave Ben Burney a blog, ostensibly to provide a glimpse into the life of a college football player. Which was a fine idea until Burney provided a glimpse into the life of a college football player.

I can't believe

that either Colorado was that dumb or Burney was that dumb. It’s bloody hilarious, though, but that’s what you get from today’s athletic departments – pure saccharin.
