The Running Back Room

Not sure that he'll be the starter.  But he's earned the right to a nickname.  I'm thinking:  MoWa.   :thumbs

 

[I am I]

15 touches a game?  Sounds good for a true freshman. If he can hit decent on 5 of them we have ourselves a weapon. Looked so natural in that clip. 

Get him him in space and let’s goooooooo

If there's a position an elite talent can start day 1 it's runningback.  Redshirting shouldn't even be a consideration for Mo.

There's little doubt in my mind Washington plays. The question is if he's the 5 carry guy or the 15 carry guy.

I will take the unders for 1000 frosties sir.  He is not going to get 15 touches a game.

This is a correct statement.  Running backs are either running backs that can or can’t, you don’t grow into a “great” running back.

No.

Do you know what happens to Tinker Bell when people don’t believe in fairies?

The same thing applies here.

I dont know what happens.

Spoiler

I am lying. Of course I know what happens, but I dont want people on the board to think I still watch Disney cartoons.

I think the RB's will be on an equal rotation until they enter conference play.  Everyone is so excited about Tre Bryant, but he really didn't scorch any good run defenses.  I look for this to be settles week 5 or 6.

Bryant, Washington and Bell...........not to worry, all decent backs.

The additions of Washington and Bell, along with Bryant getting back to near 100% will significantly improve the speed and explosiveness in the RB rotation.

So of Nebraska backs of the past - who would you compare Bell to and who would you compare MoWa to - I'm talking style - as performance on the field hasn't occurred yet.

Washington = Terry Rogers

 

[Hunter94]

think we will have to wait and see how well they run thru tackles and make guys miss..........

 

[ColoradoHusk]

I hope he ends up being better than Terry Rodgers.

 

[cheekygeek]

How are Washington's hands? Is he a receiving threat out of the backfield?
