He is very high on Nebraska, said he would Love to play with Newby again

makes it all that much more crucial we use Newby properly this year. Can't have a similar result as the Heard, Ameer, Green debacle during their true frosh season.

I guess I don't see that as a debacle. We had two guys (Burkhead and Martinez) who - assuming no injury this year - will be in the top six ALL TIME rushing at Nebraska. And if Burkhead didn't get hurt last year, Martinez and Burkhead could have ended up being the #2 and #3 All Time rushers in school history. That doesn't leave a lot of carries to get split three ways between three true freshmen. It's not like we were playing with a bunch of big leads and could afford to take two of the greatest players in Husker history off the field.

well you essentially made my point as to why it was a debacle resulting in 3 frosh RBs burning redshirts for very few carries. It was mismanaged to say the least. And if you aren't gonna take two of the greatest rushers off the field in mostly close games that year, then you don't burn all 3 redshirts.

Based on the fact that 2 of the 3 left the team, I am glad they burned the RS. This way when they left, they had to sit out a year at their new school.

OK. I follow you now. I thought you were saying they should have gotten more carries.

 

I agree - I don't think we should have played them all. But, as dylan said, it's been reported that Pelini wanted Green to redshirt and he didn't want to.

 

I don't think we're in quite the same situation this year because I think Taylor will get a lot of work and Newby will get some carries but also see the field in other roles. I guess we'll see.

I'm tired of the "Pelini mismanaged the RBs that year and that resulted in Green leaving." BS...

 

As stated, they wanted Green to redshirt and he didn't want to. SO....the way to get more carries is to beat out the guy ahead of you. Problem was...as stated before...you have two of the best ever playing ahead of you carrying the ball. You also have two true freshmen in along with you. I think it has been had a bad attitude (I don't have any evidence that he did) But, it is clear that Ameer has one heck of a good attitude and work ethic.

 

Beat out the guy ahead of you and you get playing time. It's that simple. I don't feel sorry for players who complain about playing time their true freshman year. Sorry...in my mind, if you even see the playing field that year you should be thankful.

read my post. I never said Pelinis mismanagement of the RBs led to Green leaving. I simply argued my opinion that the burning of 3 redshirts was mismanaged.

Do you think that if he would have redshirted Green and Heard they would both still be here?

How should it have been managed differently?
