Diedrick Shines Amid Crouch Shadow At Nebraska
Canadian native Dahrian Diedrick emerged as a steady force for Nebraska as a first year starter, rushing for 1299 yards, third in the program’s last decade, while sharing the backfield with Heisman winner Eric Crouch. The 6 foot 225 pound junior will start his 12th game in the Rose Bowl against Miami, seeking a share of the national title. Diedrick overcame an early ankle sprain and, though not the flashiest back, emphasizes power and reliability. Solich noted Diedrick’s readiness despite being overshadowed, and the team aims to force a decisive performance in the Rose Bowl showdown.
