Tough choice. Suh was physically stronger but when you compare effectiveness of the player vs state of the game when they played it's harder to say. Also, RG had 2 outstanding seasons vs NS's 1.

Johnny Joyce

Rich was a one many wrecking ball on a National Championship team competing with his own players like Larry Jacobson, etc.

Tony Bunting

It's very close. Each was the dominant defensive lineman of his era. Each wrecked offenses. Glover by far outplayed everyone in the Game of the Century, and it's hard to top that. Glover, barely.

I was only about 10 when Rich Glover played. I remember him as an awesome player but Suh is arguably the greatest college D-Lineman of all time. Not just at Nebraska, but all college, All time.

Suuuuuhhhhhhhhh!!!

How is this even a question?

Ron Joseph

SUH had less help on the Dline and yet he dominated. Ask that Missouri QB what he thinks as well as McCoy. If we had had the 2008 or 2010 offense wt Suh's 2009 D = National champs. Timing was off.

Nate Terwilleger

A beast often double & triple teamed, Suh still dominated games and caused OCs to change entire game plans mid-stream.

John Fillmore

Glover was very good, but Suh's success in the NFL is a pretty good indicator of his overall talent level.

Rob Wiseman

Suh has to double teamed in the nfl....Dominate is too small of a word.

Nick Potter

Ask texASS

Mel Nuss

Im old enough to have seen both play but Rich Glover had a great supporting cast. Suh didnt and he was a one man wrecking crew.

Jon Jorgenson

Glover was the best until Suh. More diverse offenses today. Nationally, Suh had a tad more recognition. I love them both and grateful they played for the Big Ref.

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
