cant say enough about our AAA s something to shed a positive light on the program

I think it was Talman that said recently he was shocked that Nebraska didn't advertise the academic all american successes to potential recruits. Think it was when Peat and his cousin visited....they had no idea about Nebraska's academic excellence beforehand.

Seems like we'd trumpet the crap out of that.

Of the seven Big Ten honorees 3 were Huskers. Pretty cool. Nebraska one of only three schools with two first team honorees.

Burkhead has a 3.38 and he's a academic all-american.........




Low standards are low

 

[Red_Alert]

I guess the low limit is 3.30

 

[HawkeyeHater]

Burkhead carries a 3.38 cumulative grade-point average in history and was a first-team All-Big Ten performer on the field. Burkhead rushed for 1,268 yards in the regular season and scored a total of 17 touchdowns. While Nebraska has had two fullbacks earn first-team academic All-America honors in recent years, Burkhead is the first Husker I-back/tailback to earn first-team Academic All-America honors since Jeff Kinney in 1971.
