zoogs Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Wait..... I thought we had nothing to take the place of graduating stars. I haven't watched the scrimmage yet but am in outraged by some threads like this. It's possible none of them will be even close to what Ameer and Rex and Helu were. But I'm encouraged that Newby seems to be making a move and establishing himself. We would be very lucky to not see a big drop off, but you never know. Quote Link to comment

suh_fan93 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Wilbon looked a little like DeAngelo Evans when he popped that 31 yarder. I think we definitely need to see more of him. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Wait..... I thought we had nothing to take the place of graduating stars. I haven't watched the scrimmage yet but am in outraged by some threads like this. None of them is even close to Ameer at this point.Didn't say they were. But, it's seemed like around here there have been some who think without Ameer and Randy we have no talent and there is nothing to make up for that. In fact, we will be fine, or at least as good over all. Quote Link to comment
Hayseed Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I think Wilbon looked the best. Newby looked good against nobody when he first got here then didn't do much against real competition.....he has to prove himself IMO. But we didn't really see enough in this practice to know who is the best. Coach Riley showed just enough for us to see that we could be really good without giving everything away. 1 Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Stat sheet I downloaded has Cross with 2 carries for the white team, and 3 carries for the red team. Is that a typo? Quote Link to comment
HuskerCarter Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 1. Newby 2. Taylor 3. WIlborn 4. Nelson 5. Nabbity 3rd down RB is Cross. It's really close between Wilborn and Nelson. Nelson was good last year during mop up and showed flashes, so I would give him the edge once fall camp comes around. Quote Link to comment
Haspula Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Newby Taylor Wilbon Nelson Nabity Cross = goal line back Quote Link to comment
MichiganDad3 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 1) Newby/Taylor 3) Wilbon 4) Nabity/Nelson Cross might need to change positions (or have a lot of injuries) to see the field at RB. Nabity and Nelson look very good as possible 4th string backs. I agree. With his size and speed, he could play n the NFL, just not as a RB. There has to be a way to get him on the field more.

Mavric Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Benning said during the game that he'd go Newby-Taylor-Wilbon-Cross. I'd agree. A little surprised there isn't more arguing for Cross given the discussions over the last couple years. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I think Newby and Cross being the starters yesterday indicates they're #1 & #2 right now. Just like Armstrong and Bush, but they wanted to get more film on Bush. It could change by fall, but who knows. People have been trying to bury Cross on the depth chart for years. Not much to argue. I'll believe it when I see it. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Stat sheet I downloaded has Cross with 2 carries for the white team, and 3 carries for the red team. Is that a typo? No he switched jerseys at one point and was wearing red on red playing for the other team. Quote Link to comment
RedSavage Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Stat sheet I downloaded has Cross with 2 carries for the white team, and 3 carries for the red team. Is that a typo? No he switched jerseys at one point and was wearing red on red playing for the other team. I watched it on B1G network and they said Cross switched sides at half Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Newby-Cross-Taylor/Wilbon for me. Newby easy #1. Cross isn't great at anything but is still a hoss and can get you 3-4 yards pretty easy. Most experienced too. Wanted to see Taylor get North and South more, he strung some to the sideline which isn't his strength...I'm sure he's still weary of injury. Wilbon looked good for a RSFr, just needs another year to be a big factor. But I think he'll be a stud. Nabity I see what the coaches saw and he's a good option in a pinch. Nelson,quick and shifty. Lacks breakaway speed, showed nice vs the 5th string D. Quote Link to comment
