EZ-E Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I am a young husker fan. Was watching the National Title game with my uncle and he made the comparison of Mark Ingram to Mike Rozier. Anyone else see that? Or had my uncle put back a few too many? Quote Link to comment

Vision and balance are quite comparable. I'm not sure on size but would think Ingram is a bit larger, I would say he is more like a Payton or Emmitt with the balance and change of direction.

sarge87 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Rozier was the total package in my opinion. He could run the power game if needed, but excelled in making people dive at phantoms with his speed. Quote Link to comment

CornHunka Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Ingram reminded me more of Emmitt Smith than anyone. Same size, speed, the ability to run through arm tackles and laying the hit instead of being hit in finishing runs. Ingram impressed me the Title Game. Quote Link to comment
treeeman Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Rozier had great hands, and could cathc the ball out of the backfield. Quote Link to comment
TaraTony Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Not like Mike...he needs to start wearing that stupid hat around when he travels, then he'll be like Mike. Quote Link to comment

I believe Ingram had the same type of balance and vision as Rozier, but Rozier had that plus explosive speed and deadly footwork. Ingram is more of a work horse back and doesn't quite have the moves or speed that Rozier had. It's easy to tell just from film on both of them. Quote Link to comment

But Walter Payton? You have got to be kidding! Mark Ingram isn't even in the same league as sweetness!!! Quote Link to comment
