Back in those days ESPN had a real hard on for the Big 10 and a defensive player winning the award.
'97 was a perfect storm and showed how much influence ESPN can have when it comes to national awards.
I will say this...Nebraska was the better of the two National Champions that year.
Tennessee played them in the orange bowl and it was a massacre. We actually had a chance to win the NC that year but Michigan beat Washington State earlier in the day and the Vols were deflated.
Nebraska certainly took advantage.
