The Maudfather Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Marlon Lucky...2007, I believe Quote Link to comment
maskershake Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 And if you dont count 2007 Brandon Jackson did it the year before Quote Link to comment
The Maudfather Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 And Porkchop did it in 04 Quote Link to comment
CENTEXHUSKER Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Lord in 02 Crouch and Diedrick in 01 Alexander in 2000 Green and Frost in 97 Quote Link to comment
Huskerballz Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Rushing for 1000 yards in a season isn't really all that impressive anymore. Quote Link to comment
billdozer15 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Rushing for 1000 yards in a season isn't really all that impressive anymore. I dont really get excited unless they go over 1500. When healthy Helu is good for 100+ a game. Maybe next year he can rip off 1500+. Quote Link to comment
Cy the Cyclone Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Rozier ran for over 1000 yards in a game in 1982 I believe... Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I said last year that Helu would go over 1500yds. easy if he stayed healthy and he definitely would have judging by the stats...here's hoping for next year Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Also Brandon Jackson did not rush for 1000 yards in '06, and I don't think Porkchop did in '04 either. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Also Brandon Jackson did not rush for 1000 yards in '06, and I don't think Porkchop did in '04 either. Ross ran for 1,102 yards in 2004. Jackson ran for 989 in 2006. Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Rushing for 1000 yards in a season isn't really all that impressive anymore. Actually, it's a lot more impressive now than is was 6 or 7 years ago considering we don't run the ball 80+ percent of the time. I'm guessing through the TO and Solich years we had at least 1 if not 2 1000 yard rushers every single year. Quote Link to comment
maskershake Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Also Brandon Jackson did not rush for 1000 yards in '06, and I don't think Porkchop did in '04 either. sh#t, I was just looking at yards gained by Brandon. Didn't happen to notice the -34 netting him 989. Quote Link to comment
cmb23 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Rushing for 1000 yards in a season isn't really all that impressive anymore. I dont really get excited unless they go over 1500. When healthy Helu is good for 100+ a game. Maybe next year he can rip off 1500+. Well, he's averaging 96.2 per game right now so not too far off. And of those games he's played in, would you say he's been 100% for 5-6-7 max of them? Even at that, on the 12 game regular season that puts him at 1155 for the season. And 1347 with conference and bowl games. Right now, there are 23 players over 1000 yards on the season (Helu at 962). There are 26 averaging over 100 ypg (with at least 8 starts). Keep in mind Helu is doing this on a less than explosive offense and this conference has drastically changed in the past 10 years from run-based offenses to pass-happy offenses. Just food for thought. Quote Link to comment
