RedDenver Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Huskers working on some two-back sets with Ozigbo playing a pseudo-fullback along side Newby or Wilbon.Both Newby/Ozigbo and Newby/Wilbon in the two-back sets. So maybe not as much a fullback look as letting Newby motion out of the backfield. Quote Link to comment

Detasselingthehuskers Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Is anyone else scared that Newby is looking like the top dog at running back again? I just dont like him with the ball in his hands at all, doenst run with any determination and as soon as someone touches him, he is down. Quote Link to comment

So far he has been splitting time with Ozigbo and Wilbon equally, from the sounds of it. Quote Link to comment

Ziggy is all we got.....we are woefully thin at RB for the first time in quite awhile. Quote Link to comment

Detasselingthehuskers Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I just hope that Ozigbo comes out on top. He has the build to take the beating of being a big ten starting running back. Has OK speed, very agile for how large he is and is a good all around back (blocker/pass catcher). Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I haven't heard anything that would indicate anyone has separated himself. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Would be weird to revert back to Newby after Ozigbo ended up overtaking him on the depth chart as a true Freshman. 1 Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Would be weird to revert back to Newby after Ozigbo ended up overtaking him on the depth chart as a true Freshman. "Weird" sounds about on par when talking about RB usage, so I'm not counting it out. Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Some notes from Sam » The running game appears to have more oomph. At least in the practices we’ve attended, NU has spent less time perfecting the jet sweep — don’t worry, it’s not going anywhere — and more time on bread-and-butter zone and draw plays. It’s highlighted the strengths of Devine Ozigbo and Mikale Wilbon the most. » Wilbon is among several highly touted recruits starting to make their move in Year 3 of the program. 1 Quote Link to comment
kbbccandyman Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Riley said he would like to see what Taylor can do at RB since he is finally healthy. So, has Taylor been getting been getting many meaningful carries this spring? Quote Link to comment
