Can Burkhead Be A Heisman Contender?
Husker fans know him as Superman, one of the best Nebraska backs to play the position in the last few years. Small, but tough; he refuses to go down easily to defenders, always getting as many extra yards as he possibly can. Do not underestimate his importance to this team, as he deservedly was the MVP of the Huskers season this year.
Many Husker fans are wondering, can Burkhead...
