Lucky ponders NFL

[chamrocck]

I hope Lucky stays...he can be a team captain and leader on offense. He's primed for a great senior season.

:woo ower :woo

Kenny Wilson does have one year left

given this boy's luck, he'll probably get mauled by a pack of rabid panda bears in lincoln or get struck by lightning on a clear, sunny day.

i wish him well. (not a jinx)

IMO I think that Marlon will make a huge mistake going to the pros at this point. There are far better running backs that will entire the draft this year and Marlon will probably be a second if not a third round pick. I don't think that Lucky showed his true potential this year and if he stays for one more year i'm sure we'll use him more and wisely come next year with Shawn Watson calling the plays.

I thought that Brandon Jackson was a stud but I didn't really like his decision about entering the draft early and skipping his senior year. Hell I only thought that Brandon Jackson had a few good games with Nebraska his Junior year (Texas and Auburn games) and that he too should of stayed his senior year. Brandon Jackson sat on the bench this whole season and had one good game where he had like 115 yds rushing. If Lucky decides to skip his senior year I can see him to sitting on the bunch as a number 3 running back.

Lucky, Marlon 12-12 206 1057 38 1019 4.9 9 41 84.9

Yep 4.9 yards per carry is absolutely horrible, bleh he can't make anyone miss or run between the tackles. /sarcasm

Really I think Marlon Lucky with his speed and shiftiness is of similar style to Marshall Faulk (my favorite player of all-time) By no means do I think he has the same talent level, or that he'll become as successful, but I believe they are of the same style running back. Both being smaller shiftier guys that were also a passing threat. I think whatever Lucky does it will be the right move for him personally, now being a Husker fan I obviously want him here for another year. But, if he decides to declare for the draft that would be fine by me.

Take the Nevada game out of your figures and then recalculate...let me know what you come up with.

Marlon - turn pro. The NFL needs a Westbrook clone...Nebraska does not.

I hope he does well, whatever he chooses.

IF he can get a decent paycheck by going pro, good for him. He should go pro. He could get a season/career ending injury at any time. It might as well be as a NFL player.

But opinions vary.

Lucky, Marlon 11-11 176 ----- ---- 786 4.47 6 41 71.5

Take out that game and he STILL averaged almost 4.5 yards/carry.

 

[Hunter94]

how about runs over 20 yards, runs not yards after catch? i think Marlon doesn't often make break away runs or is not especially good at breaking tackles, which would allow him to make 20+ yard gains.

similar to Marshall Faulk.... :rollin

Couldn't agree more. There are just so many great running backs entering the draft this year, it will be tough for Lucky to compete. It's not that he's not good, there are just better.
