Student section chanted his name several times throughout the game.  I know he heard at least once because he turned and smiled.

What really caught Lucky’s attention was how the student section chanted his name during the game.  He said that the fans were the favorite part of his trip.  Lucky was amazed at how involved they were and how many of them knew who he was.

Recruit update: Marlon Lucky

BY STEVEN M. SIPPLE / Lincoln Journal Star

Marlon Lucky, ranked by rivals.com as the nation's No. 2 high school running back, said Wednesday he enjoyed his official recruiting visit to Nebraska last weekend.

Lucky, in fact, enjoyed his Lincoln visit enough that he ranks Nebraska and Southern Cal in a tie for first on his list of finalists.

"Lincoln was cool," Lucky said via cell phone from North Hollywood, Calif. "The Nebraska fans, they were chanting my name. That made me feel real good."

Lucky was asked if the quiet of Lincoln would be a difficult adjustment compared to the bustle of Hollywood. His home is located about 15 minutes from the USC campus.

"I'm cool with the quiet," Lucky said. "I'm not really an L.A. boy."

The 5-foot-11, 202-pound Lucky arrived in North Hollywood as a 12-year-old from Dallas.

After rushing for 1,772 yards and scoring 30 touchdowns as a junior and impressing coaches at summer recruiting camps, Lucky landed scholarship offers from top programs around the country.

In addition to Nebraska and Southern Cal, Lucky said he's strongly considering Louisiana State. Florida and Mississippi State also are on his list of finalists, he said.

Lucky has visited only Nebraska and as of Wednesday had no other visits scheduled. He said he plans to make a decision about which school he'll play for sometime in December

There is a rumor floating that he may have to go the juco route. He recently finish his previous qtr or semester work at a 3.3gpa, which will noe raise his overall gpa to a [SIZE=14pt]2.3[/SIZE]....yikes. He says he's working hard and kinda kicking himself right now, but hey we got Brandon Jackson here, Lucky has not gotten the required scores on testing.

 
I've gotten a chance to look at some film on Lucky. He's not big or intimidating, but he is so fast. He does everything at full speed. He is able to reach full speed very quickly. He is quite strong as far as stiff arms and the such. He doesn't juke, like Ross, but changes direction well, but again he does it fast.

 
I heard that after every touchdown he scores, he takes off one of his shoes on the sidelines and holds it in the air. I saw a lot of people doing that every time Nebraska scored when he was here for a visit.

and they still do. First time I saw it was during the Southern Miss game. One guy in the student section was doing it. Then yesturday there was about 30 people doing it in our section again. I thought it was something to do with the kicker/kicking game (kinda like 'spirit fingers'). But hey, what the hell do I know? (this is a retorical question, not to be answered please)

 
Awww comeon rocket.... I hate those kind of questions! :)

Man thats kindof an odd ritual by the guy. Would be a pain in the arse to untie and tie your shoe every damn time. Especially for someone who has a nose for the paint!

 
He says he is 100% solid on Nebraska and has said the Husker coaches have all ready started creating plays for him. (I'm sure really not, but why not tell him that.

All this news is being brought to you from Huskers Illustarted who have been reporting this today.
