AngryHusker88 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Give Helu some time to recover, no need to risk injury in a game that we should win anyways (I'm not taking Iowa State lightly by any means). Plus our younger backs need to get some experience & the Iowa State game would give one of them a chance to step up & establish himself as the NO 2 back. Quote Link to comment

Have you seen what else is left in the stable?? Our 2nd and 3rd string RB's might as well be Iowa State RB's. Quote Link to comment

Let some of the other guys get some reps and let Roy heal up a little bit better. Worse comes to worse, he can dress and come in if things start to get too dicey. Quote Link to comment

Yeah I have but someone needs to be the No 2 running back - give them all carries & see who (if anyone) stands out. All I know is that I will be really pissed off if Helu gets injured against Iowa State. Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 At the same time you don't want to lose to ISU. With our qb problems we may have to rely on him. I hope he can sit though. Quote Link to comment
Paul in WI Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 (Ask Sam Bradford what he should do. ) If the day comes where winning becomes more important than the health of an injured young man, then we don't deserve to win. I hope that he can play, but if he is injured, he should sit. Quote Link to comment
NPhusker Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Dont sit Helu the entire game start Helu, get a ahead by a few touchdowns and then take him out by halftime. if Iowa St. starts moving the ball some how on our D bring Helu back in and seal the deal. but dont just assume we are gonna come out and dominate with anyone running the ball teams get upset when they dont take their oppenent serious Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 The day winning became more important than the health of a player has been here for quite some time. I've seen high school players who had no right being out on the field play and have lifetime injuries. A local kid wasn't supposed to play due to concussions. His dad took him to several doctors until he found one that would clear him. The kid is now a zombie. I knew another kid that shouldn't have played. His coach just left him in there. He's 36 years old now and has had an artificial hip since he was 24. Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Yeah I think we should give Robinson his chance next week against ISU. Play Helu a little bit but not a lot. Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Sure put in Robinson. Burned his redshirt anyway. Quote Link to comment

junior4949 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I don't agree with it. However, many do. This is why I cited two examples with one being up to the coach and the other up to the father. The father sacrificed his own son's life basically. Quote Link to comment

If it sounded like I was inferring that you did, I wasn't. I hope it was worth it to him. Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I used to be a high school football ref. Because of this incident, I quit. The father sued the refs. The judge threw it out of court because the hit was definitely a legal hit. Quote Link to comment

On another note, this is a dumb thread. Quote Link to comment
