RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 He is very high on Nebraska, said he would Love to play with Newby again makes it all that much more crucial we use Newby properly this year. Can't have a similar result as the Heard, Ameer, Green debacle during their true frosh season. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 He is very high on Nebraska, said he would Love to play with Newby again makes it all that much more crucial we use Newby properly this year. Can't have a similar result as the Heard, Ameer, Green debacle during their true frosh season. I guess I don't see that as a debacle. We had two guys (Burkhead and Martinez) who - assuming no injury this year - will be in the top six ALL TIME rushing at Nebraska. And if Burkhead didn't get hurt last year, Martinez and Burkhead could have ended up being the #2 and #3 All Time rushers in school history. That doesn't leave a lot of carries to get split three ways between three true freshmen. It's not like we were playing with a bunch of big leads and could afford to take two of the greatest players in Husker history off the field. Quote Link to comment
dylan Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Yup. Not enough carries to go around. The kids didn't want to redshirt, so Bo let them play. Probably should have made one of them redshirt against their wishes, but that's a tough call. Quote Link to comment

It was mismanaged to say the least. And if you aren't gonna take two of the greatest rushers off the field in mostly close games that year, then you don't burn all 3 redshirts. Quote Link to comment

Based on the fact that 2 of the 3 left the team, I am glad they burned the RS. This way when they left, they had to sit out a year at their new school. Quote Link to comment

I thought you were saying they should have gotten more carries. I agree - I don't think we should have played them all. But, as dylan said, it's been reported that Pelini wanted Green to redshirt and he didn't want to. I don't think we're in quite the same situation this year because I think Taylor will get a lot of work and Newby will get some carries but also see the field in other roles. I guess we'll see.

BigRedBuster Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm tired of the "Pelini mismanaged the RBs that year and that resulted in Green leaving." BS... As stated, they wanted Green to redshirt and he didn't want to. SO....the way to get more carries is to beat out the guy ahead of you. Problem was...as stated before...you have two of the best ever playing ahead of you carrying the ball. You also have two true freshmen in along with you. I think it has been had a bad attitude (I don't have any evidence that he did) But, it is clear that Ameer has one heck of a good attitude and work ethic. Beat out the guy ahead of you and you get playing time. It's that simple. I don't feel sorry for players who complain about playing time their true freshman year. Sorry...in my mind, if you even see the playing field that year you should be thankful. Quote Link to comment
