2001: Eric Crouch
Eric Crouch led Nebraska into the Rose Bowl for the BCS Championship against Miami. It marked the first time since the 1919 Rose Bowl, and only the third time in the game’s history, that neither the Big Ten nor the Pac-10 Conferences had a representative. The Hurricanes won, 37–14. Miami QB Ken Dorsey and WR Andre Johnson were co-MVPs. Crouch ran 22 times for 114 yards and was 5-of-15 passing for 62 yards with a pick.
