I'd like to think I know the player backing up Jordan Westerkamp, especially if he's a Junior.
But I've never heard of Gabe Rahn.

I am excited for our return game. DPE will hopefully be back to form and it sounds like Bryant has been electric in camp.

I would be pumped if Bryant excels at kickoff return like Ameer did as a true frosh.

I guess I was just expecting to see him no lower than 4th on the depth chart. No disrespect to Hoppes or Ketter, but I don't remember hearing their names during camp.
And the first "Riley is secretly plotting for Nebraska to fail" post. brilliantly pathetic!

He in in effect saying that Riley is lying about running wanting to run the ball more. He says we are all fearing this will happen. We are not! I stand by it, a pathetic post It could very well be that Newby ahead of Devine is a tip of the hat toward the pass over the run.

Nah, based on last year's pre-season speak and in season results, his premise is solid. Your assertion that people are saying that "Riley is secretly plotting to fail" is absurd.

I've often wondered who would play if we had to go 6 deep at TE

If he uses the backs like he did in the bowl game, I am OK with seeing free substitutions to keep them fresh, happy and aggressive. I thought Cross and Zig were dynamic vs UCLA and I am quite sure those Bruins were pretty much sick of the pounding we laid on them in the 4th quarter (sooner actually). Now, Newby is the senior and I would expect that seniors and experience are getting lots of weight in the season opener. We want to not shoot ourselves in the foot with lots of silly youthful mistakes. We have got to be 40 points better than Fresno whether we play a marginally better soph over a seasoned veteran to start the game or not. Play error free and tough and give em a good 'roughin up' and we should win convincingly and get the season started right this time.
By game three, the nerves should be fairly settled and we will need everything to work perfectly to beat those Ducks.
Newby is faster and reports suggest he is a little stronger and running harder - he needs to if he wants to play more. Fresno may not have the team speed that UCLA had so we may well be able to run wide more successfully without the reverses and trickery, etc. Let's hope Newby can turn the corner and break a couple long ones. Newby is supposed to be able catch the ball. We know Zig can and Wilbon should signs (we need to see him in action). Tre Bryant is a player - without doubt - one of the better recruits last year. He has loads of upside. I think he might be the best RB recruit in a long time (along with Abdullah - a different style).

I wouldn't read too much in our most experienced running back, who averaged 5.2 yards a carry along with excellent ball security, getting the starting nod for the first game of his Senior year.
I believe Devine Ozigbo is a Mike Riley recruit and I don't think Mike is going to withhold Ozigbo as part of his nefarious plan to undermine the rushing game.
There were plenty of years in the Husker past where a platoon of RBs competed for playing time, although the season typically ended with a single featured back.
That could just as easily be Tre Bryant as Newby or Ozigbo.
