Count 'Bility Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I assume Calvin Clark is supposed to be Calvin Jones. 2 Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Wouldn't mind another Green, Jones, or Clark coming thorough Omaha anytime soon... Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I assume Calvin Clark is supposed to be Calvin Jones. Yeah, good catch. It was just a typo. So I changed #5 to Calvin Jones. 1 Quote Link to comment
Bowfin Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Roger Craig didn't realize his full potential until he was in the NFL. That being said, his place on the list at Nebraska is probably right It would be great to see a list of the top ten runners, including QBs...I wonder how that would shake up the list.

NUance Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) Ever go back and look at the RBs backfield talent we had on the 1982 roster? We had Roger Craig, Mike Rozier, Irving Fryer, Turner Gill, and Tom Rathman. Heck, our 3rd (4th?) string I-back Jeff Smith would have started for most teams in the nation. Just an amazing collection of talent to have on the roster at the same time. Edited October 3, 2016 by NUance Ha ha! Okay, Captain Obvious. I didn't want to leave Turner Gill off, given his ability to run the ball. Or WINGBACK Irving Fryar. lol 1 Quote Link to comment

junior4949 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I don't know, but on my list I'd have Green above Phillips. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I loved Calvin Jones but I'd have Craig and DuBose higher than him and Kenny Clark on my list. Quote Link to comment
beorach Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I suppose Jarvis Redwine loses out due to injury again. Quote Link to comment

I always thought Smith was better than Rozier. He was quicker. Our offense took off when Rozier went down against Miami. Yeah, hardly anyone realizes just how talented Smith was. There was a huge logjam of talent on the roster ahead of him, and he just didn't get the touches. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 where would phillips rank if he hadn't found some frost on his pumpkin that fateful night? Very possibly #1. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Rex and Helu should probably switch spots imo 1 Quote Link to comment
