LINCOLN — Rex Burkhead's eyes light up when you mention Nebraska's new running backs coach, and it's easy to understand why.
If you've been around either for any length of time, you know Burkhead and longtime assistant Ron Brown are pretty much cut from the same cloth. They go about their business with an intensity, purpose and motivation that are not hard to notice.

Nothing against Roy Helu but I believe if the ball had gotten into Rex's hands a few more times we could have won at least 2 more games last year.

Man you gotta love how Rex is taking this year on. He seems to be the one stepping out publically as a leader. He is already one of my favorite players of all time. You can not ask for a player to demonstrate the way Nebraska players do thing more than Rex has. From all accounts he is one of the hardest working players on the team. He does as he is asked. Great guy and I would root for him even if he didn't play for Nebraska. Sexy Rexy is going to tear up the BIG 10 like a pitbull on a 2 year old.

+1 He is a quality person.

 
I fell in love with Rex even before he signed with Big RED. Ron Brown is red to the bone. BC was doomed the day he let Brown leave.

We are in for a great 2 years with this twosum.

Brown to RB coach was such a great move, his talents were being wasted just overseeing the TEs.

Leading the nation in fumbles is a great way to blow games.

Just look at the last game. We were moving the rock at the start. They recover and get a big return, subseqently they score and not only are we behind but the whole dynamic of that game is changed.

Texas's first td came after a fumble and maybe we'd have managed to not blow our leg off and actually score if not for one of those other drive-killers.

Hope this O can avoid blowing their legs off with stupidity that plagued us last season-fumbles, dropped-passes, penalties, and qb-brainlock.
