  1. Honestly I think we'll be OK...it's tough, but we absorb these kinds of injuries every year, just like every team does. Caputo is poised to be one of our best centers in a while, and we could have suffered a worse blow (and could suffer one yet) than to lose his backup. He does have experience and could play in a lot of positions, but at least at both end spots, there are two different sets of players battling at the 2-deep (Sirles I think, and Hardrick on the left and Marcel/DJ on the right).

     

    I have read people questioning Caputo's size and speculating that the Smith move was to see if he could unseat Caputo. Mute point now, but on the size issue, may I submit a pro center that did quite well at about Caputo's size.

  2. Ok so the season is sneaking up on us, and I was looking at some stuff and I noticed something interesting. Follow me here...

     

    Roy Helu Statistics:

    2007- 209 yards

    2008- 803 yards

    2009- 1147 yards

     

    Total- 2,159 yards

     

    Which currently ranks him 22nd in Nebraska's record books for career rushing. Now lets say Roy rushes for 1,000 yards in 2010, that will give him 3,159 yards. Which would rank him 4th in career rushing yards behind Mike Rozier, Ahman Green, and Eric Crouch.

     

    Granted we will have to see whether or not he can obtain that 1,000 yards this year, but that is some impressive company. I know a lot of people fell in love with Rex, but I still think Roy is our best option at RB this year and I hope he gets enough touches and stays healthy to put up at least 1,000 yards.

     

    That's doubly impressive when you compare Roy's Olines to the Olines of the other guys...I think if you put Roy behind a vintage Husker line, you have a heisman favorite, if not a shoo-in

    Good point. We may not appreciate what we have.
