Eric the Red Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Can we say thank you to Arizona St.? Keller is by far our best offensive weapon. He broke the single game passing record yesterday after only his fourth game. Lucky caught 11 passes yesterday, that is a record. Quote Link to comment
maryland husker Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Although it looked like I would have to eat my words after his performance at Wake, I stick with my prediction before the season started - every one of Zac's and the older passing records will fall this year. Unfortunately, that prediction was made with the assumption that the Blackshirts wouldn't be on vacation when this miracle occured, but..... Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 He was the heart and soul of the team yesterday!!! Without him god knows what would have happened. Quote Link to comment

eliot1171 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Lucky is still overrated. Elaborate Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Lucky is still overrated. Elaborate Yeah how is he overrated if he can't get a hole to run through because our O-line can't run block??? Quote Link to comment
no_name_needed_2001 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Lucky made a GREAT play on 3rd and 2 when we were behind It looked like he was gobbled up but somehow he fell forward and got the first. Quote Link to comment
Zaimejs Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Lucky falls after first contact. He's okay in the open field. He's fast and he can find holes, but he can't pound people. Just not a very tough runner. Quote Link to comment

Just not a very tough runner. Yeah he's finesse, but he's not a run over the top of you runner and that's definately going to hurt him in the pro's eyes. Quote Link to comment

Lets just say he not in the top 15 Husker running backs of all time but better then some we had since 2000. Quote Link to comment

I agree...............he's a good receiving and blocking back and if the holes are big he's good there as well, but he's not good and clawing and scratching for yards. Quote Link to comment

Yeah but if the "Blackshirts" keep giving up 1-2 four play drives for touchdowns every game, Keller will have the ball a lot this year... Quote Link to comment

Just not a very tough runner. I agree, but he is an all purpose back. I think Cally should use Castille and Lucky like Carrol used Bush and White. Quote Link to comment

Usually, 5 star running backs have the ability to create something positive when holes aren't there. Quote Link to comment
captain obvious Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Lucky could probably do a better job of "creating" his own opportunities for yardage. I was watching Marion Barber for the Cowboys last night and saw him escape certain doom on several occasions. NFL-caliber running backs refuse to quit. Lucky is quick and can bust one or two good moves to juke a guy in the open field, but if he is corralled around the line of scrimmage the play is going nowhere (with a recent exception being that 3rd and short that he converted on the game-winning drive on Saturday). I don't know if it's just a matter of determination or some intangible that he lacks, but Marlon Lucky seems to be pretty easy to bring down. I wonder what his yards after contact are for his career. My guess is that they account for less than half of his career rushing yards. Still, I think he's a good back for our offense and is an excellent pass-blocker. He is a sure-handed receiver, too. I think he's our best back and will be for the remainder of this season as well as the next. There's no way he's going pro next year. He still has a lot to prove. Quote Link to comment
