Burkhead Injury

[J_2_THA_BONE]

Sucks to hear he is injured, hopefully he has a speedy recovery. Time for somebody to step up at RB!

Wow, bad, bad news. Rex showed a ton of flash this year. Won't be back now until Colorado? Raw deal.

Let's see some Ward, Mendoza, Jones, Okafor stepping up? I think we might see us taking a few licks now though.

Better play all of them, Helu won't make it all the way with all the carries, the others have to play.

I don't not think having a backup running back out will result in us taking a few "lickings" now

I don't know about "lickings" but it's certainly not good. I saw Helu and Burkhead as pretty interchangeable . . . which is huge. Burkhead might have been even better in short yardage situations. Especially with Castille gone . . . this IS concerning.

I agree, there was a reason he was #2............. :boxosoap

This just in...

Rex's replacement has already been found.. supposedly he is a 6'4 Freshman who already had his Redshirt pulled and a player who sounds like the all state insurance guy.

And the legend grows :horns2

^Found a way to get CG into yet another thread.

We'll be fine...It'll be nice to see Lester Ward actually get some playing time...he COULD be the future.

Is it gonna be Ward? Has it been said who it will be yet?

Huskersillustrated just updated their website and its about todays practice but it does not say anything about injuries just talks about not getting the blackshirts.......

Also, as far as I know, Helu's condition is not clear either, is it? I was waiting for the injury bug to bite like it did last year, and sure enough...

Helu is fine, said his shoulder was just sore after the play where he was tackled at the 3.
