i love burkhead

[melscott62]

not flashy, not really a big play guy, but he is a battering ram. He is perfect when we get a lead....he just punishes people later in games. I just hope he doesn't wear down

burkhead is like money in the bank......doesn't generate a lot of interest, but is there when you need him.

 

[melscott62]

he is just a ram.... Can someone Photoshop rex's head on randy the ram for me?

burkhead is the embodiment of nebraska football

 

[Haspula]

He's always been a tough nose runner since he got to Lincoln. Always liked him

Man that guy must be tough, he takes some hits out there. I just hope he can stay healthy, cause the young guys look really talented, but they sure look small. I don't how long any of the three would last as an everydown (or even a 20 carry guy) back.

Who doesn't? He is just a sound player...moves piles, finds holes, and I hear he can deliver one hell of a talk on existentialism.

Kid really jukes,spins, and battles, if he had an extra gear he'd be one of tippy-top backs in the nation.

that kid is just f*cking nails

My how the opinion of our starting RB changes over a weeks time...

I would not trade Rex Burkhead for any player in the country at any position. He is an absolute treasure to this state and program.

??? Was anybody down on Burkhead last week? As far as I remember, people were down on the O-Line, not Rex.

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

That's what I thought? :dunno

There was a thread (not sure of the title) where people were saying Burkhead just wasn't good enough to get it done. Wasn't fast enough, etc. I'm not making this up.
