What We Learn From the Depth Chart
<span lang="">The first football depth chart always provides some surprises. One takeaway is that it's fair to say that the walk-on program is still very much alive. Another is that the true freshman we've heard so much about on offense will indeed be in the mix. Finally, the number of …
Husker Backs Will Compete In Big Ten
While watching college football, there will be those times when a fan is sitting and viewing a game in a favorite establishment. Enjoyment turns to annoyance when a neighboring table or stool indicates their bias - insisting that the Big Ten is just full of plodding running games and 11 …
Rex In Effect
Once you get past the impressive debuts by Brion Carnes and Jamal Turner, Saturday's spring game star had to be Rex Burkhead. The junior running back finished with 91 yards on 11 carries, and looked every bit the quick, reliable and surprisingly powerful back that Husker fans have come to expect. But, the spring …
Ron Brown Will Build Up Backs
When reviewing the illustrious coaching career of Ron Brown, one thing jumps off the page. This will be his first year coaching running backs (or as the roster lists the top guys, I-Backs). Brown may not have extensive firsthand experience with directing backs, but coaching and the mentality behind motivating …
Return of the Back?
With all apologies to Mark Morrison, Husker fans may have reason to sing about the "return of the back". Less than a month ago, the running back position was looking like an area of possible concern for NU. After the returning Rex Burkhead, the Huskers had little production back in their …
Robinson Transfer Increases Depth Concerns at Running Back
Going into the 2011 season, one of the concerns for the Nebraska offense was going to be how to replace Roy Helu at running back both in terms of production and overall depth. Rex Burkhead could be penciled in as a starter but then the clear #2 among returning players …
Considering Running Back Depth
Call me crazy, but these are the days I find myself thinking about who Nebraska's fourth string running back is. Seriously. I know it is June. Is there any better time to consider the obscure? What else are you gonna do, Husker fan? Frankly folks, a person can only obsess about …
Who's Fourth?
There aren't many positions on a football team where the fourth man on the depth chart sees the field. But running back is one of them. For now, it looks like the top three on the depth chart are going to be Roy Helu, Rex Burkhead, and Dontrayevous Robinson. Lester Ward …
Who's Behind Helu?
Die-hard Husker fans know the names: Mendoza, Okafor, Ward, Jones, and Robinson. These are the guys that are going to be called upon to spell starting running back Roy Helu now that Rex Burkhead has been sidelined with injury. If Helu should get injured, one or more of them would be …
Castille dismissed from the team
After some speculation regarding Quentin Castille's recent absences from practice over the last two days, Bo Pelini announced today that Castille has been dismissed from the team. At this point no further explanation has been given and I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for one. That's not the Pelini m.o. Rumors …
Absent Key Players, Opportunity Knocks for Backups
It's a good thing that most Nebraska football fans appreciate watching the running game or quality play along the line of scrimmage. The absence of some important skill position players will likely change the complexion of Saturday's Red-White Spring Game. Fans are even more likely to see a defensive contest, I …
