crazy thing is his body hasnt even matured yet

 

He may get a little bigger, but he's put together pretty well now.... Washington is the guy who could be even more scary if he filled out another 20 lbs or so.

What does 20 lbs do for his game?

Do you know the street value of 20 lbs in Lincoln? He'd be super popular.

What does 20 lbs put on by a S&C/Nutrition staff do for a slight, yet talented running back? Is that what you're asking?

Putting 20 pounds on Martinez seems to have slowed him down.

Martinez already had a good body size though. Washington could use some weight to knock folks forward when he runs.

It's natural to worry about him getting rocked as he often looks smaller than guys. He trucked some defenders tonight though.

I was most impressed with Robinson’s toughness. Didn’t seem like a 190 lb freshman at all.

I was also most impressed by Wan'dale's toughness and ability to both take and deliver a hit. He's definitely quick and shifty, but I did not expect how tough he runs.

Robinson's breakout game sees freshman carry NU to victory

 

 

 

Quote

 

Robinson and quarterback Adrian Martinez took turns keeping Nebraska in the game, then pulling the Huskers even, then putting NU ahead. On the game's penultimate drive, with NU trying to run clock, Martinez produced a season-long 44-yard run when he pulled the ball from Robinson's belly on a zone read and sprinted untouched into the Illinois secondary.

 

The space was there, because most of Illinois' defenders followed Robinson.

Robinson reminds me of the way Rex Burkhead used to play. He is very tough and packs a good punch for a player of his size. He really was one of the difference makers in the game. We will need him to play as well against Ohio State.

Reminds me of FSU’s Warrick Dunn and washington’s Napoleon Kaufman. Explosive speed.

I like the Warrick Dunn comparison. That guy was awesome.

Wan'dale is actually third on the depth chart as PR. So, I am guessing it's like Undone said, maybe he isn't sure handed fielding them.

 

I do agree though that Wan'dale would be electric as a PR. Priority #1 is fielding it though.

Agree that if Spielman has surer hands, you put him back there. But, yes, Robinson has the potential to be the most dangerous punt returner since Johnny Rodgers. As far as toughness, I believe in HC he was one of his team’s leading tacklers as a DB. So his toughness doesn’t surprise me that much.

Wandale is so good, he will be the benchmark for future NCAA stars while he's an All Pro in the NFL.

 

Yes, he's set apart.

Somebody please get this man...the ball.

I just hope Martinez will take half of his JD throws and give them to Wandale. Mix it up

 

And not kill JD.

 

He is tough, but wow....
