Crippled Stripper Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I am really lazy and do not want to look if he is back. If he isn't, who is the next fb? beck most likely will not have a true FB set- hopefully he will in the redzone. Quote Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 He's gonna be a senior next year. Quote Link to comment
Fuzzy Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Unless something changes, more than likely his replacement will either be Ryan Hill since he is practicing FB/TE or Zimmerer. Quote Link to comment
n.e.husker Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Will we even see the fullback this year? We barely saw legate last year. Quote Link to comment
Blaze1up Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 A good FB works wonders, they can be a secret weapon. I don't understand why they're not used anymore. Quote Link to comment
druski_2k5 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 We have a fullback? Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Unless something changes, more than likely his replacement will either be Ryan Hill since he is practicing FB/TE or Zimmerer. I'm pretty sure Ryan Hill is not on the team anymore. Medical reasons. Quote Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I've heard another name thrown out there last year as a guy who could be next in line behind Legate (not Zimmerer)... But unfortunately I'm far too lazy to look it up. Gotta feel bad for the kid, though. Probably busts his ass every day on the practice field as hard or harder than most everybody else to MAYBE see 1-2 snaps a game. True Husker. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I have a sneaking suspicion Beck will get the Fullback in the game a little more often. The kinds of defenses we'll face in the B1G may dictate that need. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 It just dawned on me in all those games (years) that we seemed to be lacking a short yardage back why didn't we just insert one of the freaking fullbacks to carry the ball!!!????? Quote Link to comment

I root for Legate hardcore, because when he is announced on HuskerVision as a "starter" it is very rare he will ever see the field, yet holds position of Starting Fullback. I feel for the guy. We did use him early in the year, as I believe he caught a TD pass in the flat against Idaho. Would have been nice to go back to something like that or hit a running back in the flat as a designed play near the goal-line if the defense wasn't expecting it in a bigger game, a la Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, heck even the bowl game, something different and sparking something unexpected. Legate up the middle too of course. However, I wonder if he was even prepared to run the ball, maybe he didn't have the reps he should of have to run or catch, but I know he caught one TD pass last year, I applauded that play-call, and we never saw it again, that I can remember. Hopefully we have a bruiser besides 1st or 2nd string running back that can go in on 3rd and 2 and get some tough yards, saving some energy and runs for our other main backs in critical situations. Suh at fullback was always a beast option too! B) Quote Link to comment
RazzinGTO Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Im hoping for some Zimmerer action. Kid stomped in high school, I know college is different, but would be cool to see a kid I know and that went to my high school kick some butt! Quote Link to comment

The kinds of defenses we'll face in the B1G may dictate that need. If we are going to be running the ball more often, i would hope that the FB would see more playing time, maybe we will actually get some good FB to commit to us, rather than us taking a RB and beefing him up to play the FB spot.

Crippled Stripper Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 He can carry the ball. How long did he carry the load over at Neligh(sp?)-Oakdale? He had a younger brother too, what happened to this kid? Quote Link to comment
