74Hunter Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Who is "Fryer?" Did he play for Tom Osbourne? Rozier was here for 3 years, but LP was a better back. Wistrom was better over his 4 years than Suh, but Suh had the better senior year. I don't think that FRYAR is top ten all time. Quote Link to comment
Abdullah the Butcher Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I don't think that FRYAR is top ten all time. His alleged actions at the Orange Bowl and the embezzlement charges kind of tarnish his name. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I know Rozier was incredible, but a guy that was only here two years kind of seems like he should be lower down on the list to me. I don't know. Rozier was here three years, and he was straight-up legit. He beat Roger Craig for the starting spot in 1982, and Craig had been a thousand-yard rusher the year before. Craig went pro after his Junior year (and he was legit at that level, obviously) in part because Rozier was going to start in 1983 and severely curtail Craig's carries. I'd put Rozier as our #1 RB all-time without hesitation. LP is probably #2, one step down from Rozier. Quote Link to comment

But I agree with you about Rozier. 1 Quote Link to comment

Landlord Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 What happened to Rozier's third season then? I don't know much other than just hearing that no Nebraska back has ever had three 1,000 yard seasons. Was he injured? Quote Link to comment

I don't know much other than just hearing that no Nebraska back has ever had three 1,000 yard seasons. Was he injured? He had like 700 or 800 yds. as a soph. 943, splitting time with Craig. Huskers.com has a bio and stats on most of the big name players we've had. I just google the name with Husker football and that's usually one of the top 2 or 3 links. Quote Link to comment

Yeah,I guess I could have done the same, but I just guessed to the best of my recollection. Good on you for doing the legwork that I was too lazy to do! Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Actually a pretty accurate list IMO. Surprising considering Sporting News List of Top Ten Coaches in the B1G was an absurdity. Quote Link to comment
In the Deed the Glory Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Ahman Green should be on that list instead of Fryar. Quote Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I think they got the list down pretty darned good. Fryar probably shouldn't make the top 10 and there is plenty of room to discuss including Ahman Green, Lawrence Phillips, Will Shields, or even Turner Gill. What LP did off the field is probably enough to warrant him not being included on any of these lists but, on the field, he was absolutely the most dominating RB I have ever seen play the game. Rozier was awesome and definitely had the better career but, as far as potential and ability.....LP gets the nod. Quote Link to comment
robsker Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Ahman Green should be on that list instead of Fryar. I agree. Ahman was very, very good. Fryar too. Still, I would place Green on that list over Irving. Quote Link to comment
