Comfortable, yes. Great, no.

Pat Stacy

Depth, versatility.

Terry Darnall

By mid season the O line will be much better than last year. There should be some holes to run through. If Newby continues to be tenitive, then Ozibo or Wilbon will take over. There's options that's why I think running game will be good.

Keith Petrie

But someone is going to have to step up and be the Workhorse!

Kent A. Lang

Yes. We're stacked! Newby will be a stud!

Richard German

He'll yes, I just want to know who will be the most hungry N want to punish his opponents

Valerie Gilmore

Just seems better to have more than less at a highly injury prone position

Byron Augustin

One of these players is going to break through.

Dan Cubrich

I think they'll be fine.

Ron Bauer

NU has plenty of outstanding backs. Coach should use ALL of them according to their own skill sets. Do the "unantici- pated.

I guess since I am on the fence it is not a yes, but it is not really a no either. I wonder more about the line and the blockers who will make those running backs job a bit easier.

Isaiah Skrdla

I don't think that Reggie Davis is a very good motivator. After having a motivator like Ron Brown it wouldn't surprise me to see a lull in performance until the backs adjust.

Robert Schutt

With 3 of the remaining 4 January games on the road, it will be an uphill climb in remaining playoff undefeated.

Terrence Smith

... and I hope I'm wrong.

Randy Wolf

Michigan.

VAHuskerFan

They r playing really well but I just don’t see them winning out in January, they live and die by the 3 and it’s gonna end up costing them, not much inside the paint game. I see everyone standing outside the 3 line wanting to shoot the 3 but no one ever inside to get rebounds, wont work against Mich

Suicide Slush Puppie

Probably not - that's expecting a lot - but regardless, what they've accomplished is nothing short of extraordinary.

Jerry Goodwin

This team is really good and they will continue to give themselves a chance in every game, but...3 of the next 4 on the road, including Michigan? That's a tough run. If they win out in January and beat Illinois at home on February 1st, they'll be #1 in the country the next day.

Roy Katskee

They are living on borrowed time.

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

SEW

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.

Brad Loseke

Different backs have skills for different situations.
