predictionking Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Prince is one of the most legendary high school running backs in AZ High School Football History. His Senior season numbers were ridiculous, something like 2,000+ yards and 40 TD's. One thing which always stuck out on his film was his ability to "shake and bake" At the Big Red Breakfast this morning James Dobson said Prince was the most explosive person on the football team, especially in the ten yard dash. With all the injuries on defense, and NU's inability to get some explosive plays offensively, I think the Huskers should consider letting Prince get some touches on offense, even if it's only a couple designed plays. Anybody think I'm nuts? Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I'm willing to try just about anything on offense at this point. Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Considering our D has been pretty good this season, I cringe at the thought of taking a starter from the D and putting him even if only for a few plays in on O especially when the D is having to play so much due to the O being ineffective.

Enhance Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Nuts? No. Thinking too far out of the box? Maybe. Prince has been a solid corner so far this year. With the current injuries we are already sustaining, I don't think it would be smart to risk injury to Prince and risk limiting the depth on our defense. Quote Link to comment
NPhusker Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Prince on offense........i dont know I have seen Prince drop 2 or 3 easy picks this year that hit him right in the chest, so i think there is a reason he is on the defensive side of the ball However i would like to see him on special teams maybe, if they could get him to catch punts and kicks consistently then why not put him back there and let the Prince "shake and bake" Quote Link to comment
missouri_husker24 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Supposedly he is one of the fastest on our roster. Quote Link to comment
billdozer15 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Wildcat? Better yet, we could call it the Crazycorn Formation. Quote Link to comment

And secondly, I'm only talking about maybe 5-10 plays a game. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Wildcat? Better yet, we could call it the Crazycorn Formation. :hurl: I'm not against the Wildcat, but I'd like to know why it's suddenly taken the college and pro games like a storm. It's not a lot different in results than the Option or the Wishbone, it just comes from a different formation. And yet it's all the rage, while back in the day we were considered quaint and old-fashioned for running an antiquated Power Run game back in the 90s. Times change, and all we can do is shake our heads. Quote Link to comment

IMO, we just need to leave Cody Green in at QB and run more Zone Read, until teams prove they can stop him. Success from Green's legs would open up the passing game thus making our offense far more productive. Quote Link to comment

So true. 12 Years after Ozzie retires and the antiquated triple option is replaced with the West Coast offence we here talking head after talking head act like Paul Johnson is a geniuse for running the triple option.

redout22 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I saw Prince's video coming out of highschool and it was ridiculous. If he has some hands Bo should move him to WR. He is still a beast on D though. Quote Link to comment
Husker Richard Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 WOW ya, seriously. get this kid the ball. Quote Link to comment
BlackShirt1340 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 So why did this guy not get recruited as a running back?! Better vision (at least in this video) than I've seen in any of our guys over the past 4 years (except roy) Quote Link to comment
