Fullback?

I am really lazy and do not want to look if he is back. If he isn't, who is the next fb? beck most likely will not have a true FB set- hopefully he will in the redzone.

 
Unless something changes, more than likely his replacement will either be Ryan Hill since he is practicing FB/TE or Zimmerer.

I'm pretty sure Ryan Hill is not on the team anymore. Medical reasons.

 
I've heard another name thrown out there last year as a guy who could be next in line behind Legate (not Zimmerer)... But unfortunately I'm far too lazy to look it up. :moreinteresting

Gotta feel bad for the kid, though. Probably busts his a$$ every day on the practice field as hard or harder than most everybody else to MAYBE see 1-2 snaps a game. True Husker.

 
I have a sneaking suspicion Beck will get the Fullback in the game a little more often. The kinds of defenses we'll face in the B1G may dictate that need.

 
It just dawned on me in all those games (years) that we seemed to be lacking a short yardage back why didn't we just insert one of the freaking fullbacks to carry the ball!!!?????

:yeah

I root for Legate hardcore, because when he is announced on HuskerVision as a "starter" it is very rare he will ever see the field, yet holds position of Starting Fullback. I feel for the guy.

We did use him early in the year, as I believe he caught a TD pass in the flat against Idaho. Would have been nice to go back to something like that or hit a running back in the flat as a designed play near the goal-line if the defense wasn't expecting it in a bigger game, a la Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, heck even the bowl game, something different and sparking something unexpected.

Legate up the middle too of course.

However, I wonder if he was even prepared to run the ball, maybe he didn't have the reps he should of have to run or catch, but I know he caught one TD pass last year, I applauded that play-call, and we never saw it again, that I can remember.

Hopefully we have a bruiser besides 1st or 2nd string running back that can go in on 3rd and 2 and get some tough yards, saving some energy and runs for our other main backs in critical situations.

Suh at fullback was always a beast option too! B)

Im hoping for some Zimmerer action. Kid stomped in high school, I know college is different, but would be cool to see a kid I know and that went to my high school kick some butt!

If we are going to be running the ball more often, i would hope that the FB would see more playing time, maybe we will actually get some good FB to commit to us, rather than us taking a RB and beefing him up to play the FB spot.
