Ndamukong Suh
Ndamukong Suh Nebraska Cornhuskers defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh picked up another honor Wednesday night, taking home the Rotary Lombardi Award as the nation's top lineman.

Suh was the defender chasing Texas quarterback Colt McCoy with just seconds left in the game and he threw the ball away as the clock ticked to zero. However, after a review, the Longhorns got back 1 second and a game winning field goal.

A Texas loss could have given undefeated TCU and fellow Lombardi Award finalist Jerry Hughes a spot in the national championship game. Instead Texas is headed to the game against Alabama.

"I wish I didn't get to him," Suh said. "I pushed him down and forced him to throw that ball away. I should've let him run around a little bit longer, then we wouldn't
have had to worry about trying to block a field goal."

Suh delivered his regrets to Hughes earlier in the week when the two were up for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy. Suh also won the Nagurski Trophy as the nation's top defensive player.

"I told him, 'No apology needed, you did everything you could,'" Hughes said. "We were all rooting for Nebraska, obviously. One second from probably going to the national championship game, that's not too bad, you know? TCU has come a long way and for us to even be mentioned in the conversation with the national championship is a great honor."

Suh finished the regular season with 82 tackles, 23 tackles for losses and 12 sacks. In the Big 12 championship game, he had a career-high 12 tackles, including a school-record seven tackles for losses and 4/2; sacks.
