I think this thread is spot on. I've witnessed its critics all through it, but I think Imani Cross could become one of those banger type down-hill runners much like Wisconsin's MO. If Imani gets the rushes, he might heat up as the game continues.
I'll keep seeing his shifty 51 yard TD run in my mind, replaying it in my head, which occurred on November 16, 2013 against Michigan State early in the 3rd quarter - who had one of the very best defenses in the country last year! Cross has got it!!!!! There was nothing Michigan State could do on that play to contain Cross!!!!
I say let's increase his role as this will work to keep Ameer Abdullah healthy through the course of the entire season! They'll make each other better. I-backs Derek Brown and Calvin Jones made each other better 20 years ago or so! We'll see this happen with Cross and Abdullah this year! I think it'll be a good thing.

This is the one that had me eating crow on the Cross thread before last season. That DB would have needed another 25 yards to get him.

Do you know how you aren't supposed to mention a no-hitter in the dugout, else you will jinx the pitcher?...
...I feel the same way about having discussions concerning "too many good players" and being jinxed with injuries.
Mind you, I'm not saying we shouldn't discuss our current fortune, but be aware that depth can vanish rather quickly.
Case in point, two years ago, University of Nebraska Kearney was flush with quarterback options before going through six or seven quarterbacks in one season, including one who got his jaw broke by a wrestler at a party. Three went down in one game.
Second example, remember how the debate on whether Brook Berringer or Tommie Frazier should start was quieted for a time when NEITHER was healthy enough for the Kansas State game and Matt Turman was pressed into service?
I'm hoping we get to the end of the season with two backs at 100%.

Imani runs too high. Lower his pad level and he'll get more touches
