Hilltop Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Where does TB fit in at RB if 100% healthy? If those 3 are honestly better, we are in amazing shape at RB. Quote Link to comment

One of the huskeronline youtube videos talks about him, though I cant remember which one. Coach said he had a sit down with him and told him what is expected of him and he's learning and pushing himself. Quote Link to comment

Bryant has been limited in practice this week due to soreness. I don't think they will push Bryant early in the season. They will look for spots throughout this season, and see how his knees react. 1 Quote Link to comment

Seems what we've thought would happen has happened, Bell emerging as the primary. So he gets the 10-15, then any concerns with Washington or Bryant are taken care of as the slide in after that. It's a 3-4 man position with each getting a few less carries as they fall on the depth chart. I would imagine we see similar to the last few seasons where more guys get opportunities early in the season and then the rotation shrinks as the season goes. The only real curious part is Ozigbo, and unfortunately it seems those questions weren't in the video part of the interview. Is Ozigbo pushing his way to more playing time or are we hearing his name more because Bryant may not be able to handle the load. It's been pretty clear those 4 backs have kinda separated. 1 Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Seems like Frost has a higher opinion of Ozigbo than many HuskerBoard posters. I don't know whose opinion to trust. 2 Quote Link to comment

"4th string running back" doesn't really exist in Frost's offense. At least not in the traditional sense. He uses that many. The point is Ozigbo continues to be mentioned among the top group and continues to receive some pretty high praise despite many writing him off since the day Frost signed. Quote Link to comment

I don't know whose opinion to trust. I can't speak of anyone else, but my opinion is based on previous years. Frost's, whatever his opinion, is based on this year. Ozigbo busts some some big ones, I'll be right there posting about it. If he averages 3.8 ypc again, I won't have to talk about him because he won't be playing. That's the difference in last year vs this year. 3 Quote Link to comment
Caliborn72 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Ozigbo being our 3rd string RB could also not be a good thing. Just because he’s there doesn’t necessarily mean Frost thinks more of him than we do, it could mean that we don’t have anyone better, which is a definite concern. Quote Link to comment

I haven’t been high on Ozigbo but if he’s in much better shape and has earned playing time, then I will applaud him for that. But like you are saying, he’s 3rd or 4th strong (depending on Bryant’s health) so that puts him right where I thought he would be. Good for him that Frost rotates a lot of backs, and Ozigbo will probably get a few touches a game. The one guy I am probably wrong on is Jaylin Bradley. Not sure if he’s struggling with his conditioning or what, but I expected him to thrive in this offense. It’s still early for him though, if he sticks it out. 1 Quote Link to comment

If he's a vocal guy, I'm all for it. I want vocal leaders that back up their talk. I want an Alvin Mack on our damn team!!! Speaking of Ozigbo, he's gained an extra step but he's still 2 or 3 steps slower than the guys ahead of him. Quote Link to comment
