Ultimate Husker Defensive Back Bracket: The Final Four


The second round of voting wasn’t nearly as nail-biting as the first. The top three seeds advanced with large margins. It was closer between #13 Barron Miles and #5 Dave Butterfield, but the higher seed prevailed.

Check the bottom of the article for highlight videos (where I could find them).

Some of the abbreviations you will see below:

AA – All-American
cAA – consensus All-American
uAA – unanimous All-American
AC – All conference
PBU – pass break ups
INT – interception
