Fullback Carries

[husker_fan_from_sweden]

Andy Janovich or C.J. Zimmerer I think would take UCLA by suprise on the goal line or in the open field on some kind of swing/screen pass. Fullback is not an extinct position for toting the rock, and I think our guys are capable and athletic enough to add yet another weapon to Scoring Explosion version II.

We have been spoiled with a fullback pipeline, I think if any program can begin a resurgance of the position it would be UN.

Does anyone see this happening come Saturday?

NU has way too many weapons to regularly feature the fullback. Won't happen.

I agree here completely.

If you are on the goalline and you hand to anyone but Cross I'd disagree with the decision.

That was a cool video though. I loved the Tommy Hilfiger carpenter jeans Jeff Mackovicka was wearing. Those were great!!! Ahh the 90s.

Well when the meat of our schedule comes about it doesn't hurt to have more than one option who can get the tough yardage. Teams like Michigan are gonna key off of the Imani's and Ameers when a score is on the line.

More of the Maryland I double-iso - Janovich and Zimmerer leading the way for Cross.

Seeing Cross get playing time at fullback leads me to believe he'll get a least a couple carries from that spot.

ahhh the "i miss the 90's" fullback thread. only 2 games into the season though? i figured we'd go at least into mid B1G play...

I was about to post something to that affect. I miss the 90's too, only because I was 20 years old and in college.

Joel Makovicka could be Tebow's brother in that video.

Fullback trap right up the gut early 3rd quarter from the UCLA 40 yd line after lulling them up to that point with the normal "multiple" offense. TD!!!!!

I always preferred Z-Cavs over Hilfiger.

I'm sure that's not what they call it but we started in the pistol formation then motioned one back to the other side. Someone called it the power I but it looked more like Maryland I to me.
