This is the second in a series in conjunction with Thursday night's premiere of the Nebraska football documentary "Day by Day: The Rise" about the Huskers' dominant run in the 1990s.
Jared Tomich walked on at Nebraska and became a starting defensive end in 1995 and 1996. The two-time all-conference performer was a first-team All-American and a Lombardi Award finalist as a senior.
