Thanks Nexus for the articles. Good read!

Every time he touches the ball, you feel he can go any time. Just explosive runner. The speed and vision, coupled with the power we've been seeing... That is what makes him so special.

Exactly, the line played controlling the gaps where Reesing could get out and hurt them. The line (& coaching) chose to not gamble w/ deep penetration for fear of holes for Reesing to slip through. You saw our guys stand up early to keep proper spacing, trying to contain Reesing.

Looked better than Helu, get real! Optimism is cool, but come on... i would also say that he looked like he has more raw talent than helu. he is not currently the better player, but he will be the better player soon. i was not saying he was better than Helu, but he did run hard and found the holes that i think Helu sometimes misses. i have no delusions, Helu is the better back, but Burkhead offers a lot. i was actually agreeing with ya! all i was saying is that helu is currently better but in the end i think burkhead will be better because of the same reasons you mentioned.... oh i know that you were agreeing with me, i was just restating what you were responding to to clarify to the person who told me to get real. i think you said what i was thinking better than i did and i should have said that when i responded to you. There is no proof whatsoever that Burkhead finds holes better. The best part of Helu's game is his VISION, not only his instinct but also his knack to find the right hole or create when one does not exist. His peripheral vision and feel for defenders is exceptional. That's what separates him. You are measuring Burkhead's small sample of carries and making a pretty strong statement that he finds holes Helu doesn't. You are comparing him to the best back in the Big 12!! Hey we are all Huskers fans, but the adulation of Burkhead has to have a larger sample to grant him the comparative praise you give him... By the way, I love Burkhead as a Husker.

Did someone call my name? Who needs a kidney when you're stud like me ;O) No, he doesn't look like Tiger Woods. He's Tongan, full Tongan. He's not half whatever. Oh, he did run over that cornerback in the last game, near the sidelines I believe. Anyways, just let the kid develop his own style. He doesn't compare to anybody yet because he hasn't put in a full body of work. Let's compare in a few years from now. This is fun comparing, but way too premature.

Ditto! My thoughts too.

Agree with you fully. Leach is definitely deserving. What he does year in year out with the talent he has is annually amazing.

You're kidding right?! If I was a football player, NU of course. Basketball player, Duke of course.

Good to see Castille run hard and with a purpose.

Philly, thanks for the video link. Appreciate it.

Caveman, Helu caught 8 passes against Kansas. He was our leading receiver (and leading rusher). I think you are way exaggerating that Roy "can't hold Lucky's jock." How "much better" do you need him to be for next year. And be real with the "routinely misses blocks" evaluation, we all watch the games and that is some exaggeration. And yes Helu admits he needs to work on his blocking...his receiving...and his running. Listen to his whole interview bro.
