I don't believe NU football has retired any numbers - although perhaps Rashidi Wheeler. Other programs do have retired numbers - Wisconsin has a few including Dayne, Indiana retired Anthony Thompson (#4 alltime rusher in BT history), OSU has some (Archie Griffin (#2rusher) Eddie George etc.), Illinois a few (Butkus) etc. Football is tough with there being 85 scholarship players and up to 100+ on the roster.
Should NU retire #21 as NU's all-time leading rusher, 3rd in BT history and the epitome of a student-athlete? Personally if i were to start retiring numbers at NU I would do Otto Graham and Fitzgerald and then think hard about Jackson. Thoughts?
