Some History
This painting honors the 2001 University of Nebraska football team and #7, worn by Eric Crouch. Coached by ex-Cornhusker Frank Solich and co-captained by Crouch, Keyuo Craver, Jeremy Slechta, Dave Volk, and Tracey Wistrom, the 2001 team went 11-2, tying for 1st in the Big 12 North. The 2001 team played Miami in the Rose Bowl, losing 37-14.Eric Crouch was a Quarterback for the University of Nebraska. In 2001, he not only became the 3rd Cornhusker in school history to win the Heisman Trophy - awarded to the outstanding intercollegiate football player in the United States, but was also named the Walter Camp Player-of-the-Year, the Davey O'Brien Quarterback Award winner and the USA Today Nebraska Player-of-the-Year. In that 2001 season, Eric completed 105 of 189 passes for 1,510 yards and 7 touchdowns and rushed for 1,115 yards and 18 touchdowns. Widely regarded as one of the best option Quarterbacks in college football history, when Eric wasn't throwing (or running himself), he was handing the ball off to RB Daharan Diedrick (shown above). Crouch was one of three Quarterbacks in NCAA record books to post career numbers of 3,000 yards rushing & 4,000 yards passing. At the completion of his Cornhusker career, Eric held 21 school records - including 59 rushing touchdowns (an NCAA record for rushing touchdowns by a QB) and 312 total points. Following his career at the University of Nebraska, Eric was drafted by the St. Louis Rams as a Wide Receiver. He spent the 2005 season playing for the Hamburg Sea Devils in the NFL Europe League, before playing with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL).A summary of his NFL career can be found at:
