The Running Back Room

So it looks like Belt and Mazour are the top 2 backs on the red(starters). And Bradley and Bryant are on the white(backups).

I don't think the teams are specifically red=starters and white=backups. The Red team is more stacked but there are some starter quality guys on white. Also I'm pretty sure it would be more Belt 1 Bradley 2 Mazour 3 as in the backups on red team are probably further down the depth chart than white team starters.

 
With Mills possibly not making it here bc of grades, our RB position is looking very thin.  Hopefully, we can get a transfer in here ASAP. 

 
i was afraid that Mills would end up not making grades........and if Washington gets a major suspension we are going to need AM to carry this team on his arm.....experienced receivers are in short supply as well......scarey.

 
Mills was able to graduate in Dec., but needed to improve his GPA to transfer which we should know in a week or two.  The school is also providing academic assistance.  Sipp's tweet is a little miss leading.   There are no guarantees, but if he wants to be here as bad as he says he does he will make it.

Dedrick Mills reiterated to me this afternoon that he expects to do well on finals and have a good enough GPA to qualify for Nebraska. #huskers

 
We're all looking for signs that Nebraska is closer to getting 'back' - a little off the field drama in the RB room is part of that traditional recipe.

It's a bit of a dumpster fire right now, but I feel confident it will work itself out. Pressure can bring the best out of some players. A worst case scenario of no Mo and Mills could influence another player to step up. Either the position will struggle mightily or someone will embrace the challenge.

 
If Mo and Mills are unavailable, it is good that the first game is against a very weak opponent so the remaining RBs can have some live tryouts in game conditions. I hope the game is in hand early so we can experiment with getting everyone plenty of quality rushing reps if the depth chart is still in disarray at that point.
