Breakout player of 08

Marlon Lucky

With a very dangerous and deep O line who will hopefully have better blocking technique and with Lucky being a more aggressive runner and a year better, I'm going to say that he'll eclipse 1,000 rushing yards quite easily and might even get to 1,000 receiving too. We'll see. But I think he's poised for a big year.

Lucky won't be as involved in the passing game next year.

There is another post stating Watson wants to use him like the Eagles use Westbrook, so I think he will probably have a similar amount of touches.

Larry Asante and Ricky Thenarse on Defense will shine.

On offense i say Will Henry. He has decent to above average speed and is a big receiver, everyone talks about Paul and Holt but i think Henry will standout.

Lucky will be awesome. I get so tired of hearing about "lets move Lucky to slot blah blah blah" He was 2nd team Big 12 RB this year and was screwed at that. Why do we want to move him. He will go for over 1500 on the ground and over 500 in the air.

Long shot is Zac Lee. I am so surprised that everyone just wants to hand the job to Ganz. I for one dont remember him playing all that well. I remember big numbers mixed around crappy throws bad decisions and very costly mistakes

I think he (Ganz) was trying too hard to make things happen sometimes. Its tough for a quarterback to know he has to score 50 points to win.

id have to go with big Q, Quentin Castille. If they are really gonna try to establish a power running game then look no farther than him

 

[RedDenver]

Pelini's D always seems to have a play-making safety. So I'm going with a ball-hawking Thenarse.

 

[HANC]

Niles Paul will break out this next season !!!!!!!!!!

on Defense......... I will go out on a limb, and say that Blake Lawrence will be a starter, and will earn some form of post-season Big 12 honors......

 

[huskered17]

I think Zac Lee will be hard to keep off the field after 3 or 4 games of mop up duty. It will be nice if Ganz can keep improving his passing game, but he will be pushed by Zac some time during the season if he starts having trouble keeping the offense on the field..Either way it's a nice problem to have.

GBR!!!

 

[Blackshirtsguru]

I would say Thenarse on Defense and Lucky on Offense.

Lee is going to have to get past Patrick Witt first. Witt is the current #3 until a nerw depth chart comes out. I haven't seen him play yet, but from what I understand from people that have the kid is flat amazing.

 

[tattooedhusker]

one of the WR's....paul, henry, hopefully brooks, holt...it's hard to say

scratch that...Santino Panico!!!

 

[o-line54]

Offense: Marlon Lucky

sleeper: Kenny Wilson

Defense: Thenarse

Sleeper: Barry Turner

 

[Hunter94]

if Kenny has put back on the 50 lbs. of muscle he lost, yes he may be good once again.

Right. Touches refers to carries, as in run plays. I said he wouldn't be as involved in the passing game..

Wrong. Touches refers to the amount of time he touches the ball, rather it be a rush or a reception. He will be just as involved in the passing game, but in different capacities(running routes, rather than taking as many swing passes or dump-offs).
