Champions by the Numbers.

The athletes from the following institutions may not been the biggest, fastest or the strongest coming out of high school. They may have not even been the best "pure athletes" on the nation's football fields last fall. But certainly, their teams achieved the level of success in 1997 for which every program strives - national championships. For the information of your staff and players who aspire to play at the nation's colleges and universities, we are happy to present true empirical highs, lows and averages from the 1997 National Champions. Remember, players find a place to play, and there can never be a definitive measure for desire, determination or heart.University of Nebraska, NCAA I-A Pos Ht Wt 40-yd VJ 20-yd. sht.
