Guy Chamberlin Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Until four years ago, Ken Clark was #5 on the Husker all-time rushing list. And he's still the #6 RB. So consistent, he was nearly forgotten. Or maybe he just needed a cooler name. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Doug DuBose needs mentioning and Lawrence Phillips regardless of his off the field trouble was one of our best running backs on it. Quote Link to comment

If Dubose hadn't gotten hurt, he would have been great. Keith Jones was the Ameer Abdullah of the 1980s. Quote Link to comment

One of the saddest sideline interviews I ever saw was a very humble Doug DuBose talking about his injury and how he was just going to work as hard as he could to come back. Truly a nice guy too.

Warrior10 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 LP, Rozier, Green, Craig....in that order. However Craig and maybe Green will give way to Ameer after this season IMO. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Okay, I'm going to cheat a little bit and throw a QB into the mix. I'm taking all my Rushmore faces from the '82 team, the year before the scoring explosion: Roger Craig, Mike Rozier, Irving Fryar and Turner Gill. I realize these might not be absolutely the best four three running backs to ever play at Nebraska. But they might be among the best three to play on the same team. And not just Nebraska. But any team, evar. Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 The first 3 are easy; LP, Rozier, & Green of course with the usual caveats about Phillips off field behavior. But number 4 is up in the air and wide open for debate. Calvin Jones, Doug Dubose, Ken Clark, Roger Craig, Ameer, Rex, Jarvis, IM Hipp, Jeff Kinney, and probably about a half a dozen others also. We have had no shortage of awesome RB's. Many of them would have been all time greats except the were giving up playing time early to their predecessor and late to their replacement.

It's at my mom's, and me and my brother look like freaks(the 80s were a rough look for beanman) so I don't think I'll be posting it. It was at this game in Lawrence. My first Husker game. http://www.huskermax.com/games/1986/10kansas.html 1 Quote Link to comment

Scratchtown Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Mike Rozier, Ahman Green, Calvin Jones, and Ameer Abdullah (assuming he stays healthy this year) Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I gotta put LP on it. He was great. Issues or not. Probably best ever Rozier Green Phillips Crouch (I'm serious. Why not?) Quote Link to comment
