Great statement. What do you guys make of this by Bo? Is he breaking away from his usual?

He is a young man that is deserving of being a leading candidate for the Heisman Trophy and other national awards in 2014.

I'd love to see Bo get behind a campaign. Good for Ameer, good for the Huskers, and good for Nebraska in general. You know he's gonna rack up the yards assuming he stays healthy. A big dose of marketing could easily take him to New York.

I am hopeful they will. They have been a bit slow to start these up in the past. It would definitely do nothing but good for the program and get some of the recent angst out of people's minds.

I don't think this is anything new for Bo or the school, and I think they go about it the right way.

They made websites for Suh and for Rex, and funneled attention through them, but didn't make a big deal out of it. Bo has made similar comments before, and it's welcome to hear him give an honest opinion or at least a promoting one, but he's still a coach and not a salesman.

Big Heisman campaigns really aren't worth much at all.

Awesome.......

 
Wow. That statement from him was pretty cool. If he, and the o-line, stays healthy, he could have a special 2014. Glad to have you back AA!

Ones a redshirt Freshman and the other a sophomore. If they are patient they will have an opportunity to shine with lots of experience behind a very good RB and Mentor. I would think this can do nothing but good thing for them both.

 
As I recall, Ameer was a Freshman who got quite a few touches but still had a lot to learn, then faced a Sophomore season where Rex Burkhead would remain the featured back and Ameer was no more established than Cross or Braylon Heard.

The underclassmen at RB just have to stay as classy, patient and hardworking as Abdullah.

 
AA, Cross, Newby, and Taylor all on the backfield next year? Wow. Talk about loaded. I hope we run the hell out of the football. The New Four Horsemen.

I was very impressed how Ameer came in and took over the RB position when Rex got hurt in 2012. Ameer ripped off some great runs against UCLA that season, that reminded me of Doug Dubose and Keith Jones. Hopefully, Ameer will have a healthy senior year, and will be a mentor/leader for the young bucks behind him.

That and if the D is as solid as it SHOULD be, there's not excuse to pass the ball more than 20 times in any game. Play solid basic football. Run it, use playaction, and understand that a punt is not the end of the world.

With the talent at RB, there is no reason Beck shouldn't use the offensive philosophy that McKewon mentioned earlier this week. Protect the defense with field position, and protect a young QB.
