husker rob Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 from a blog on LJS apparently ML had a 45 yard TD against the #1 defense and credits the O-line "Just a quick report from Saturday's morning practice. Nebraska held a full scrimmage in Memorial Stadium. "It was the first time we’ve scrimmaged in training camp since I’ve been here," said coach Callahan. We couldn't watch, but Marlon Lucky reportedly broke a touchdown run of some 40 or 45 yards against the No. 1 defense toward the end of the scrimmage. Lucky said it came on a stretch play, and credited the O-line. Brian Hildebrand and Ricky Thenarse were at the morning practice but not in action. They first have to pass a physical. Today is the first two-a-day session this fall. We aren't allowed any interviews after the afternoon practice, so no update then." later on in the blog Brian Rosenthal says that he asked Marlon which lineman made the key block to bust him loose and he said all of them Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 That's awesome to hear!!!! Go O-line!!!! Quote Link to comment
KansasHusker Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 That is very encouraging to hear from our o-line and Marlon. Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Marlon could be a big time back, I loved last year how he realized Ross was the starter and was willing to pay his dues by returning kicks and get a couple carries a game. Also when he voluntered to play WR at times last year was great Quote Link to comment

BLKSHIRTD Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 well i certainly hope that the line can do that a lot this year to take some of the pressure off of Zac Taylor a.k.a Iron Man and the passing game are there any news of big hits comming out of the scrimmage from the blackshirts Quote Link to comment
CodyGlenn34theRuskSensation Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Great run Marlon! Anyone have any idea how some of the other backs did in the scrimmage (Wilson, Glenn for example)? It's good that we are finally starting to hear some news trickle down with some information of real value, ie, yards gained instead of just "he looks like a stud with his shoulder pads on."

gamecocks Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 They is great news to hear. Our running game should be something fierce this year. If Lucky can break one like this every so often. That will really help the passing game so much more. Quote Link to comment

ttheKid1*18 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Good to hear that Lucky broke the long run. Hopefully he has the plays down, and will wait for the lineman to set up his blocks, so he can get big plays like this often. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 This is great news! Very encouraging about ML and the O-Line! Quote Link to comment
AR Husker Fan Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I love hearing this - a good indication that the line will be improved. As for Lucky, there's never been any doubt he can bust one. My question with him will be, "Can he pick up the blitz"? As important as Ross was last year as a runner and reciever, he was absolutely invaluable in making the offense work by being able to know when to stay in to pick up the blitz, and which blitzer to pick up. We need one of these stud running backs to reach that level to keep the offense ticking. While I think that will be Glenn, frankly I don't care who it is - they can all run. Quote Link to comment
