The performance of Nebraska DT
Ndamukong Suh in Thursday's 27-12 win over Missouri is a perfect example of why we continue to fall in love with his game.
Suh was extremely disruptive all night, using strength and leverage to consistently control blockers against both the run and the pass. He is a heavy-handed player with a violent initial punch to knock blockers back, and Suh knows how to use his to keep blockers off his frame and disengage quickly to make the play.
He showed all those skills on a single play early in the first quarter. On second-and-19 from the Missouri 34-yard line, Suh engaged and quickly shed a blocker and used his relentless motor to chase down Tigers QB Blaine Gabbert from behind and strip the ball. Nebraska recovered the fumble, and while the ensuing drive ended in a punt, the play itself was impressive.
For a look at Suh's other skills and draft status, two impressive defensive ends and a young running back making a name for himself, as well as notes from around the country, you must be an ESPN Insider.
