Well, I suppose I'd rather see Brown end up at Alabama than TU, but if he has to go there, at least he's going somewhere that can't run no matter who is in the backfield. Not a good way to try to get to the next level, though. Being a RB at Texas is like being the official candy bar sponsor of diabetics.... kind of an oxymoron. Jamaal Charles was a fluke, no two ways about it
.
Not to defend Texas (I think I'm about to be HB crucified for this), but if NFL potential is an argument you use against Texas...not sure you'll get very far.
Current Texas NFL backs: Cedric Benson, Jamaal Charles, Ahmard Hall, Chris Ogbonnaya, Ricky Williams...
Current NU NFL backs: Correll Buckhalter, Brandon Jackson
...considering Nebraska is historically known for it's rushing attack, our current NFL roster isn't exactly impressive in the area.
Can you add recently retired 10 or 11 player, Ahman Green? He just retired but our list more impressive if you add that name.
I am not feeling anyone one on their list. They had a great one but the guy is a little off mentally. The other back on the list that has potential can't stop getting arrested.
What is the amount of yards those backs got last year compared to the trio of NU backs? Also, most of those names would have to come from the Solich and Calahan eras and they really put NU back in the top 10 nationally. It is hard to get top flight running backs to look at NU when you are getting 70 points dropped on you by middle of the road Big 12 teams. Thankfully we now are back on track with Bo.
Texass has all that talent to recruit from but their running game is a complete mess. Posters from Texass say their line play was horrible that is why our game last year was so close and they only scored 10 points, while scoring more than 40 against all the other competition.
