Dontrayevous Robinson

On the front page of Huskers Illustrated there is a teaser that says that Robinson is a front runner for the backup spot at running back. Does anyone have any more info? I would like for him to keep his redshirt, but I'd rather win now.

 
I'd hold your horses on this one for now. It sounds like Beck still doesn't have a damn clue who the number 2 guy will be but Trey had a good day in practice. Also all parties are willing to burn the shirt if it means early playing time. If he's the best we got, saddle up. Still creates major questions about our depth at the position, though.

 
His HS Euless Trinity runs an offense sim to old NU offense, with zone blocking from the I and some spread and option mixed in. He played FB and I-back when they won their 2nd title in 2007. They play physical football.

 
May the best guy play. We have him for 4 years, instead of 5. There will be another guy coming in behind him waiting to push him out the door.

I was once a guy that believed in redshirting, even if it sacrificed some quality at a position. Not anymore.

Just Win! more players will find their way to NU.

 
He must be good if he will be playing on Saturday. If he does play I hope he takes advantage of the time.

 
I still think it will be Ward and/or Mendoza. But if Robinson is the best then play him, there are plenty of games left to make it worth his while.

 
I heard that he told coach Beck he was willing to burn his redshirt to step and play. But i havent heard anything more than that.

 
The teaser probably overstates it. He is in the mix and if he wins the #2 job, he will play, but as he has been on the scout team all year, I'm not sure he leap frogs the other guys.

The article roughly discusses that Robinson is a front-runner to take over the #2 position. Beck says that the battle isn't over yet for who takes the spot, and that he'll know more after watching Wednesday's film. But it appears that Robinson has a very good chance of becoming the #2 back, just as good if not better than the other stable of guys they already have.

I would think Dontrayevous would have to be a LOT better than the other backs to go from scout team to #2 in the course of a week. If this is really the case, then I am really curious to know what on earth could possibly be holding the other RBs back. Is it really possible that the entire stable of backs behind Helu are so bad that not one but TWO true freshmen have already surpassed them? And if that is the case, why where the coaches so keen to get Okafor back when he quite if they don't think he has the talent to play ahead of these kids?
