Lucky speaks

[skersOVRsc]

Go baby Go!

[Foppa]

This is definitely Lucky's time to shine. Hope 2007 is his year!

that's good for him I can think of countless players where the pressure was just too much and left whatever college they where at for on closer to home, or for reason or another just left . i'm just glad he stuck with it.

 

you wouldn't be refering to curt dukes would you?

[AuroranHusker]

I wonder if this will have anything to do with him staying on for a senior season..

 

 

If Marlon Lucky performs as well as Brandon Jackson did last year, it will likely be his final season as a Husker....

Don't forget Beck either...

 

 

 

For some perspective, Lucky was the #2 Running back out of high school when he came to UNL. Does anyone know who #1 was? Just wanting to compare careers thus far.

[huskernation20]

Yea...A kid by the name Jonathan Stewart was ranked #1. He was picked up by Oregon in Pac-10 play. Last season he had 183 Carries for 981 Yards and 10 TD's.

[huskernation20]

Lucky: 141 Carries - 728 Yards - 6 TD's

 

Stewart: 183 Carries - 981 Yards - 10 TD's

Actually probably not. If I remember right, Curt didn't like that the bar had been lowered as far as workouts when he was here.

I think Lucky will have to have a much, MUCH bigger year this year than Bjax last year for him to be gone.

[huskerstag]

I agree with the above statement.

 

Brandon probably figured that his stock was as high as it was going to get and that he'd have to continue sharing time in the backfield if he stayed another year. He probably also figured that the crop of running backs in the draft this past year would be a little lighter than the one expected next year.

 

Next year we'll probably see Mike Hart, Steve Slaton, and Darren McFadden go to the draft, plus some others I probably haven't thought of.

 

Lucky will have to have a pretty huge season to toss his lot in with those guys.

[zoogs]

Dukes went to Duke.

 

By the way, the #2 rated ATH in Lucky's class? Darren McFadden.
