You know the coaches said that they needed 4 or 5 backs before the season. We had plenty of chances to get all our backs into early games including QBS. But we had no rotation plan. Helu played almost every snap!
Why not let the players earn the position under game conditions? TO and Solich used to do just this and at all positions. The ones had the game in command in the first quarter.
My big concern is that you sit guys like Dillard due to coaching vendetta. Colins Okafor has produced for these coaches every time he has been given a chance. He led all rushers in the spring game. So, we have him buried and not playing due to some coaches perception. This kid was a real prize recuit. Now he is just not good enough. Same thing with Mendoza and others at this position.
So, if he was the top recuits they sought, they deserve some game time.
Of course in the WCO multiple offense we do not use the power running game so we do not need to recuit top backs! When was the last top running back recuit? Lucky?
I really have a problem the way these coaches develop players. They don't.
We have not been good for some time ten years? Last good record we had was Solich!
Husker fans are in a state of denial. They fill the stadium like we are a footba power. We are currently 9th in the Big 12. I can not remember a Big 12 South team since Solich we beat other than Baylor. There may be a few! But we should all root for Iowa they are playing some quality football!
