Tom Osborne accumulated more football Academic All-Americans in his 25 years as coach

Most of them before the 85 scholarship limit when Nebraska had 300 football players on scholarship. Amazing how the Cornshucker program went into the toilet when they couldn't stockpile 4 and 5 star running backs 8 deep in the depth chart.

Of course, USC nowadays had the best team in NCAA football that money can buy. It's amazing how much rule breaking you can get away with in the L.A. Market.

Hey, what's that Heisman trophy winner Eric Crouch up to these days?

Tailback, 300 Football players on scholarship is a stretch, Osborne had just as many scholarship players as any other major football program.
What Osborne had was an overachieving walkon program made up of mostly in-state players, and highlighted with a recruits that rarely if ever was in the top ten of recruiting classes.
What people outside of the state rarely understood was that the walkons pushed the 4 and 5 star recruits to their best capabilities.

As for Eric Crouch, he’s running a business in Omaha. You can’t expect much of an NFL career from an option QB.
