CornHunka Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 ESPN's B1G blog has Husker Jr fullback Mike Marrow on their Big 10 Post-Bowl draft outlook list as the #5 rated fullback. Has he declared or is this just wishfull thinking by me. The guy is simply too big and slow to play fullback. He can't lead on pitch plays and he doesn't do much when leading plays between the tackles. Honeslty Marrow should move to the other side of the ball and play defensive tackle. Quote Link to comment

EZ-E Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 If Marrow is the fifth best fullback Janovich is no worse than 4th. Quote Link to comment
da skers Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 This based off of his potential coming out of high school as much as anything. Quote Link to comment
Chaddyboxer Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 IMO...Javonich is a better fullback and the young man is only going to be a sophmore....WALK ON....a straight beast. Quote Link to comment

flatwaterfan Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I think he should try hback or TE here at Nu to increase his versatility. Quote Link to comment
LumberJackSker Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 morrow was hurt all year as well give the guy a fair chance he might just surprise us, but Janovich looked very good for a freshman walk on Quote Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 morrow was hurt all year as well give the guy a fair chance he might just surprise us, but Janovich looked very good for a freshman walk on From what I saw out of Marrow, I was unimpressed. He whiffed on blocks when leading Rex through the hole. And he didn't show a lot of power on the 3rd-and-short downs when we handed him the ball. Cross is a much more powerful back, and is faster as well. And Janovich and Zimmerer both appear to be better blockers that him. I'm all for guys proving me wrong when I doubt them, but from what I saw out of him this year, it was nowhere near the caliber of player that I expected. Quote Link to comment
Creighton Duke Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I mean he is the #5-rated junior fullback. Think about how many teams use a fullback anymore. He might be in this spot be default. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Marrow could get away with his slower speed and bigger body in HS, but he has no toughness in him to be a FB. Janovich has no problem hitting someone. Quote Link to comment

I don't think that I've seen enough of his runs to decide how he is gonna do in that regard, but if he can add some weight and run and possibly catch as well as he blocks, he is gonna add another dimension to the offense for the next 3 years.
