Burkhead next few years will be up for heisman

[Rep The 402]

Im gonna say it now. I know he will be by his junior year. This kid is already amazing as a freshman. My honest opinion in two years we will be contending for the national title and he will be one of our star players.

sorry if someone already posted this

I would love for that to happen, but lets not jump out of our shoes and predict something like that after he had a good game against colorado. Come on I mean it was COLORADO. He's only a freshman that we haven't seen all that much of.

 

[Vince from ShamWOW]

Could he be a Toby Gerhart type of back? I sure hope so.

 

[TRIPP]

i agree...i can see it now. Green and rex running the option and dominating...good ol NE run down ur throat type of play.

Yea, we should really be looking for Helu or McNeill to take to the Heisman race for the Huskers next year.

I don't think Mcneill will be back next year. I thought he was a senior

He's a Junior.

And why are people saying "it's only 1 game against Colorado" so much? Everytime he's been in the game he's done the exact same thing.

Oh okay my bad. And I agree with you. Burkhead no matter what game he runs in he does the same thing, Runs good.

Sorry to be a downer but NOTHING about Rex screams Heisman..Does he look like a good, solid back? Yes. Does he look spectacular? No.

I respectfully disagree.

and wait until we have a decent o-line and legit pass threat. he will be all the more hyped if NU is in contention for a NC.

I would have to respectfully disagree as well. While I was watching the Stanford game I was thinking that Rex and Gerhart look very similar in their running styles and abilities, although Rex is not quite as good as Gerhart YET. I do think that next year that could be different even with Helu as the #1 back in the 1-2 punch. We have to remember that he looks like a good solid back as a true freshmen, and if he continues to work to improve every year there is no doubt he will be spectacular by the time he is a senior.

Ya know, I've been thinking...

I don't think we expect enough out of our players. :sarcasm

Don't get me wrong, I think it would be awesome if Burkhead would be in the Hiesman race in the future. But good grief... talk about setting yourself up for disappointment.

I doubt anyone on here will jump off a bridge if this doesn't come to fruition.

I respectfully agree. He's a strong runner but what's his longest run from scrimmage? Tailbacks don't win the heisman as often as they used to and the ones winning it now are breaking NCAA records. The kids good and he's a great fit at Nebraska but he doesn't remind me of Adrian when I first saw him play at OU.
