For Purdue...

2005 was pretty good. Had Ray Edwards and Rob Ninkovich at DE, with Anthony Spencer as a RS Soph to spell them, along with Brandon Villareal at DT. I don't remember the 2nd DT though, despite looking at the roster, so maybe there was a weak spot there.

2010 probably has to be the top one, though... Ryan Kerrigan (DE), Kawann Short (DT), Bruce Gaston (DT), and Gerald Gooden (DE) were the front four. All except Gooden saw some time on Sundays, with both Kerrigan and Short having long careers in the league. Kerrigan was an absolute terror that year, Short was still younger but very good, Gaston was a freshman but big and strong enough to play day 1, and Gooden certainly got the job done with all the attention being spent on Kerrigan and Short.

1992

2009

2016

the 2011 d might be better overall than any of them, but the dline wasn't where the star talent was.

Right, that 2011 pass D is perhaps the best ever, anywhere.

might have to go back to 1970 for the Huskers

1984?

1993, 94, 95?

I'll have to do some research
How much, if any, do you differentiate between the Peter brothers?  


Looking at things so far, it really is hard to get 4 very good-or-better defensive linemen on any one team in any one season.

70-71 Glover, Jacobson, and Webster.  That's pretty nasty.

Glover has had staying power and is still known far outside of Nebraska circles.  I didn't know Jacobson existed until researching teams for Whoa Nellie, and he probably had a better college career.  Maybe it was Glover's being smaller and using quickness that made him unique and more famous, idk.

What, do you research all these random teams in your spare time?  I hope you're operating a simulation game or something. ;)

I was doing it enough in my leisure time to figure monetizing it wouldn't be a bad idea.

For the home audience, those teams listed, were of course, opponents of......'95 Nebraska, '74 OU, and '45 Army.
