We have made it to the end! Two fullbacks are left to battle for the title of ultimate Husker fan-favorite-blocker-occasional-ball-carrier-even-more-occasional-receiver.

Your finalists are Tom Rathman and Joel Makovicka.

Again, there were a handful of FBs that could have been here and no one would have batted an eye. This was a really fun bracket (Thanks Brew!)

That said, I know who I’m voting for. How about you?!?

Polls close Thursday evening.

The Championship

2) Tom Rathman – His 881 yds in 1985 is the best ever for a Husker FB (7.5 per!). Hitting the century mark 4X is also best ever for a Husker FB. (Huskers.com bio)

v

5) Joel Mackovica – 2X AAA. Dr. Mackovica, D.P.T., tied for the FB record of 9 TDs in one season (’97), set the FB record with 3 TDs in one game (OU, ’97). (Huskers.com bio)

Tom Rathman

This one is more about his time with the 49ers, but I still think you’ll enjoy it.

Joel Makovicka
