I'd just like a senior who dedicated his career to Nebraska as a backup get a chance to play. He's always been told that if the starter goes down it'll be his chance. He should get it now.

David Steffen

earned it

Scott Eckert

Ron is great guy. When I attend football 202 this past year he took time out to play catch with kid during practice. I thought that was really cool of him.

Brett Badura

Ron Kellog has more experience and a better arm to exploit our stable of good wide outs.

Brandon Rolf

I think the coaches would go this route because they preach knowing you playbook. They will back it up, otherwise young men will shrug off perfecting the playbook! FYI I want Armstrong to start!

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 🎈

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.
