Ward earns No. 3 RB spot

Posted by: Steve Sipple

Roy Helu Jr. and Rex Burkhead are Nebraska's top two running backs, hands down. We know that.

As for No. 3, running backs coach Tim Beck gives redshirt freshman Lester Ward a slight edge over sophomores Austin Jones and Marcus Mendoza.

"I think Lester's a little ahead," Beck said. "He's a little more consistent in his play."

"A lot of things will depend on the situation," Beck added. "Lester Ward and A.J. Jones are probably a little ahead of Marcus right now, just because there's still a couple things Marcus needs to do to detail up his game a little bit."

Mendoza spent the spring practicing at wideout before moving to RB on Aug. 21. "It's going to take him some time," Beck said.

I just dont think Okafor is as good as we all hoped he was. Obviously if a true frosh has you beat out and you are no where on the list of possible 3 stringers there are issues. Maybe he has an attitude problem. :dunno

 
I wouldn't speculate on the reasons unless the coaches mention why. Pretty clear that Ward is better at the job at this point. Okafor has got a lot of years to make it happen.

 
well Okafor sure put it on the field in the spring game

I expected more excitment for his talent
