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.

Does Emmett Johnson's departure mean Nebraska needs a running back from the portal for 2026?

Nebraska is a 3rd Tier team in the BIG 10 and an after thought nationally and our expectations for recruiting should reflect that. With the powers in the BIG 10 nationally Nebraska's "good old days..." are just. Swept into the dust bin of what once was...Sorry, but...it's the truth as I see it.

Adveresity often brings out the best in a team.

AK-460Mag Nurse

We have yet to lose two in a row this season, and I think I formation with TJ and EJ has the potential to be devastating. GBR 🤘

Brad Bredenkamp

They won’t come out flat like they did last year. It will be a team win with a defensive or special teams score.

James Key

yes if EJ has plus 100 and TJ has 50 Run and 166 Pass. Then yes. All bets off if over 2 TO.

Ron Joseph

Time for the O to show their potential in support TJ. Once he gets comfortable with the game, he will add a dimension to the game we haven't had- dual threat QB.

Not enough players with the "it factor".

VAHuskerFan

Unfortunately we still have a terrible O-line and now Freshman QB a Defense that can’t stop anyone, I don’t have much hope for the season ending on a positive note. Lose by 17
