Seems like the Husker staff has missed the boat on this young man. Cody Glenn is a player who "carries his pads well"(coachism). I'll take a 4.5 forty kid with heart, determination, a good motor, who makes few mistakes and loves collisions over one that is timid and won't stick his nose in the hole or tends to not protect the ball, but can run a 4.3.
I'll guarantee you one thing......Cody didn't come to Nebraska to be played sparingly. There's no reason to "save" an athlete with his abilities either.
Has Cody not produced between the 20-yd. lines? He is NOT just a short ydg. back. For some reason, many equate his abilities and size to only being a short ydg. back. NOTHING could be farther from the truth.
Has a ball been thrown to him yet? How can you say his hands are suspect then?
How many schools would DIE for a kid of his talent, character, and toughness?
I absolutely know that Cody Glenn should be the Huskers' BELL COW!!!
Hmmm......Leading rusher in Spring Game
................Leading rusher in 1st Game
................2 TD's in VERY LIMITED action in 2nd Game
................Does not fumble
................Most hard-nosed back on team
I GUESS I WOULDN'T PLAY HIM EITHER (sarcasm)
***I just wonder what direction UT's football team would have taken had Earl Campbell only been used as a short yardage back.......and, no, he wasn't the fastest back of all time either!
