Auction Deadline 2 p.m. (CT) Tuesday for Crouch-Signed Helmet, Historic Basketball

When Eric Crouch turned a potential safety into a record-setting touchdown run at Missouri, he wrote one of his most convincing chapters in his 2001 Heisman Trophy season.

But it was only one rushing touchdown among the 59 he scored in his career at Nebraska ? an NCAA record.

The Nebraska career record-holder for total-offense yards, Crouch also holds the school record with 88 total-offense touchdowns.

No wonder he swept three major awards in that memorable 2001 season, winning the Heisman Trophy, the Walter Camp Player-of-the-Year award and the Dave O’Brien quarterback award.

Through the auction site on Huskers.com, you can claim your own piece of Husker history with a gold, Heisman Trophy replica football helmet signed by Crouch with an '01 next to it to indicate the year he won the Heisman.

This valuable helmet, a Collegiate Licensed product that includes a note of authenticity, makes a perfect gift for the most discerning Nebraska football fan in the house.

Basketball Has Three Significant Signatures

In late June, the only three players in Nebraska basketball history to have their jersey numbers retired, were in the same place at the same time.

Stu Lantz, No. 22, was the guest of honor at Doc Sadler’s Golf Tournament and fundraiser.

Dave Hoppen, No. 42, was there as the Huskers’ long-standing career scoring leader.

And Eric Piatkowski, No. 52, was there with his newly anointed, yet unofficial title as the Huskers’  most popular player in history, according to last week’s fan poll on Huskers.com.

Yes, good things come in threes, and Husker fans have a red-letter opportunity to get all three retired numbers on the same basketball.

Make a bid now. Claim this rare piece of Husker history. Get Nos. 22, 42 and 52 on the same ball. You won’t see any of those numbers on the court in a Nebraska uniform.
