Did Newby get hurt?

Does anyone know if Newby was injured? We saw him for one series and then he never came back. Cross played quite a bit.

 
I'm not sure, but I thought he played a lot more than one series. Now if you are talking about Marcus Newby, that's possible. I didn't see him on the field too awfully much.

The only injury we saw for sure was the Cockrell injury, but I think he was okay.

 
I think Newby played 2 series. I think they know what they are getting with him. I think in the coaches minds he is most likely the clear #1. They didn't need to see more.

 
Newby had 7 carries for 53 yards, including a 24-yard scamper. Echoing what NUinID says - I don't think they needed to see too much from him to know he's the #1.

 
I would have liked to see more

Hopefully he can hang onto the football better than his previous two years

Was about to post that then I saw you beat me to it. So true though.

And NFL Analysts still say it. Hopefully, Newby can nip it in the bud and not make it a habit like the numbers Abdullah posted...until he improved his Sr. year.

Just hope you hold Cross as accountable for his weaknessES as you do Newby for his.

You bet man...Cross won't set land speed records and definitely doesn't cut as well as Newby laterally. Of course, we've had backs like that also (Rex) and done just fine. I still think he's one of the most complete backs we have on the roster and I think him and Newby should split time.

Cross is "just like" Burkhead?

Speed and straight ahead runner? Yep. Good pass blocking and blitz pickup? Yep.

Similar in that respect yep.

Uh, Rex had way more moves than Imani does.

Not even remotely close

Burkhead had insane vertical and pro agility run numbers before he got hurt

Rex didn't run stiff, was legit zone runner- had very good feel for it

Rex got drafted and will play some years in the NFL

Rex ran for over 3300 yards, returned kicks and caught 60 passes

SO Imani would need about 2200 yards this year, 57 receptions and several hundred yards in returns- not going to happen

And remember Rex was out a bunch due to injuries

Imani didn't do any of that and wont make an NFL roster

Not the same guy at all- much different
