Ray Lewis pulled a Barry Sanders-esque move to avoid prison.

Ray wouldn't get my vote for a couple reasons
this is one of them

IMO... it's Ray Lewis and it's not close.   He stood out on a great Miami defense (along with Sapp)

I was about to google "Beavis and Butthead 69" to see if anyone already had one served up and ready to go... but then I thought about it the right way, and realized that such a google image search might turn up a little more than I had initially bargained for.

yup, and the Huskers ran over them in the 2nd half of the 95 Orange bowl

that's another reason

yes, I know Ray was a youngster in 1994

In 94, he was an All-American and Miami had the #1 defense in the country.  On the one hand, you could say they should've given their DL some breathers throughout the game.  On the other hand, that means taking out Warren Sapp, so......UNL definitely earned it.

Lewis was really skinny in college - he had abs and what-not!

Ray Lewis has been jumping on piles to pick up a half tackle long before he got to Baltimore.

if the DL hadn't been yucking it up and running their yaps so much in the first half, they would have had more wind in the 2nd.

They were probably thinking their offense would score more than 17 points, lol.

they were cocky enough to think they would bury the option offense and they certainly had NO idea they were the 2nd best defense on the field
