Hammerhead Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Nothing was more impressive than 1995. Phillips suspended. In comes Childs, runs for a buckfifty and td's. He gets hurts. Here comes Benning. Buckfifty, multiple scores. He goes down. Ahman Green's turn. We know what he did rest of the year. Not to mention Jay Sims couldve carried the load had we needed him to. He averaged 8 yards a carry in cleanup that year I think. Of course they had one of the best Olines in the history of college football to run behind. That should tell you just how good the stable of RBs we have right now is, though. Our line is light years away from the Nebraska Pipeline (although they are improving), and we're still piling up yards on teams that are supposed to be tough against the run. Quote Link to comment
Shockley03 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Lawrence Phillips (6-0, 225, 4.3/40) was a great, great running back. Still, Mike Rozier is the best I've ever witnessed at the University of Nebraska. Rozier is Nebraska's version of Vincent Bo Jackson who former Auburn coach Pat Dye recently said is "the greatest running back that has ever lived." Quote Link to comment
