Roy Helu/Rick Berns

[cb1954]

I'm probably one of the few people here old enough to remember NU Iback Rick Berns. But the more I see of Helu he brings back memories of Berns. Running style seems similar, Berns was a little taller.

I thought Rick Berns was a very good back who had decent straight ahead speed and was very powerful, but he certainly didn't have that burst through the hole and cutting ability of Helu. I don't see any similarities of the two. I would compare Rozier more to him than Berns.

I would say more like a Rozier, as well. Helu seems like he could be the type of guy to juke people all over the field and take it into the end-zone. Very rarely have I seen Helu get brought down on the first hit, he makes people miss.

[Guy Chamberlin]

Helu makes people miss, but he doesn't exactly drag anyone along with him. So I wouldn't put him in the bigger and stronger camp with Berns and Rozier.

[Pedro Guerrero]

Rozier really? Cory Ross or Derek Brown maybe, but not Rozier. Rozier could run people over as well as make them miss with his moves. I don’t think we will ever see Helu run anyone over.

[HUSKER FREAK]

I was really thinking that he is a lot like Craig

I think Helu looks a lot like Helu...there's only one folks.

 

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he's a heisman candidate his senior year. The kid's a special talent.

 

We're lucky to have him.

Helu reminds me a lot of Tiger Woods...I don't know why.

Berns and company got us a much needed win against OU. The Orane Bowl then F***** Us by inviting OU for a replay. I have never felt so violated in my life.

Helu's upright style, toughness, acceleration and ability to make the first man miss, then cut it up field, remind me most of, dare I say, Lawrence Philipps.

Must be the GM endorsement.

 

Oh, wait . . .

WES WELKER!

 

O wait, he's not white, huh...

Helu reminds me more of a small Roger Craig. Berns was a total slasher.

Yea, Rozier was stronger and faster, pretty much on another level than Helu. But Helu may get there w his own style--he has a real knack for making that 1st cut, making peeps miss and finding a hole/crease.
