Imani Cross.........

[NebraskaShellback]

I wanted Cross in all season with Jano running the ball. Both did good tonight when their numbers were called.

This is the Cross we all wanted to see his whole career. The guy could've quit when he was passed over on the depth chart every season, but he didn't. Got his opportunity, and made the most of it. Congratulations Imani! AND GO BIG RED

He played great. What I didnt understand was giving the ball to Newby in the 4th only a couple of yards to a TD when Cross has been dominating the whole game.

 

Totally. Newby got stopped as soon as he made contact with the Sparty defenders. Imani Cross was the man tonight.

Start him for the rest of the year

I thought for sure that was going to cost us the game. I was yelling at the tv when they did this

Langsdorf finally saw what we've known all along. We have 2-3 backs that are better than Newby.

When you let Imani run downhill, he looks like a different guy. When you force him sideline to sideline, he looks terrible. The coaching staff gave him the lead, and utilized him in the way Imani would be most successful. Credit to Imani for carrying the running game, literally. And credit to Langsdorf for finally realizing what Imani is best at, and letting him do that all game long.

IMANI CRUSH SPARTY!!!!! I can't wait to see Tunnel Walk of Shame this week!!!!

[husker_rob]

Ran with a purpose tonight. So did Janovich. Good game by the guys up front (tough Mich St front), and nice job by backs getting as much as they could.

I am still at a loss as to how STUPID our OC is. For the love of God, run the ball with Jano, Cross, and Wilbon. RUN THE DAMN BALL AND WE WILL WIN. When is he going to get this memo?!

Imani Cross numbers tonight: 18 carries, 98 yards rushing (5.4 avg) and 1 touchdown.

I was so glad to see Imani get the ball, and run over the highly regarded Spartan defense. I think I'll have another beer. But tomorrow when I'm hung over, I'll realize I'm sad I didn't see him do it last week.

Agree. Imani was the man. He just didn't run well. Today, he had an air of confidence that helps other players and get us fans pumped up.

 

Very easy to cheer for him. Class act.

[San Diego Husker]

never understood why Amani wasn't used more, guess it is the running backs coach who decides who is in and who is bench riding? Amani has always been the short-yardage guy. I think he is under utilized...

Cross showing what he can do. Let's build off this. That Sparty front four is legit!
