It's a joke is what it is.

Get him out there already. Jesus.

He's right.

He's good but he's not even close to being as physically dominant as Suh.

It's also pretty easy to lead all running backs in yards per carry when suddenly you're basically the only guy getting the touches. It is what it is I guess. If the guy has the play making ability that was talked about all spring not to mention the flashes he showed in his first game at BYU if you're going to throw as much as you decided to against Miami wouldn't you want to give MW a few passes thrown his way to give that defense something to think about? Heck if anything he's a pretty nice release valve for Armstrong because he can make people miss. How about a different style of runner to come at the Canes with? He looks too good to not be on the field imo. Perhaps he is getting all of the carries because he is averaging 6 yards per carry? He hasn't done anything to lose the starting job. I'm sure that game against the mighty D of the South Alabama Jaguars had nothing to do with inflating that 6 yards per carry stat that you're hanging your hat on. Our backup RB's got more time when Ameer Abdullah was our starter so apparently Newby must be 10 times the back that AA was.... Well, technically it did but Newby averaged 5.9 against Miami as well so it's not like the USA game is the complete outlier (as far as YPC goes - he averaged 7.1 in that game). Newby only averaged 4.3 against BYU. Cross was slightly better at 4.9. Wilbon was much worse at 2.3. One game is a pretty small sample size but that's the only game they all got a similar number of carries. Totally. Even in the BYU game Wilbon showed flashes of what we heard about all spring. I also remember him having a really nice gain in the BYU game called back because of a penalty. The thing with Wilbon is that he gives you two options. The ability to run obviously but also the ability to catch out of the backfield and make people miss. The 3rd and 1 in the second quarter when Nebraska was getting pounded by Miami when Riley chose to pass instead of putting Cross back there to get a freaking yard. Even the commentators were like 'what are you doing'??? Head scratching but not really. None of it is really surprising actually. Riley likes the passing attack which is his history and on that play in particular he looked like a total 'Newby' when it came to the running game. #freemikale

After watching the Miami game particularly when watching some of Newby's runs I thought there were times when the line blocked well and gave Newby some really big creases to run through. I don't know how good Miami's DL is regarded as but regardless TN had some nice holes to run through at times.

Well said BRB.

No matter what team you root for MLB lost a legend and a helluva catcher today. R.I.P Yogi...

Gotta love that 3rd and 1 in the second quarter when instead of maybe lining up with Cross who had just finished a nice run before back there or any running back really back there to get the 1 yard they needed for the first down they decide it's best to try and pass instead. Queue the punter. 40 years of experience though...

Mikale Wilbon

lol

Tommy can look really good at times. That strong arm. He hits Westerkamp in stride with no problem and it looks nice. He ran a few times against the Canes and picked up some pretty good yards. Then there was the one pass that the Hurricanes db simply dropped which was a sure int and a few other passes that easily could have been interceptions. Great arm strength. A good runner for a QB. Still erratic as far as turnovers which is the key when asked to throw it a bunch of times against decent competition.

Ugh.

Nebraska used to be known for it's offensive lines and our mostly stingy defenses. The run was emphasized on offense. I guess I'd like to see us go back to and recruit for something that emphasized the offensive line and the run game more if we were to try to find a new identity (which ironically would be the same identity Nebraska used to be identified by). That of course would mean a new/different coaching staff.

Both.
