the experience, especially with a bowl bid tenuous at best, will be worthwhile going forward.

Matt Bonham

This team is literally at a "what do we have to lose" point.

Gale Cogswell

We should of done this before now. They have been struggling since the first game.

Doug Clark

To get better, they have to play. The season is nearly lost, let the young guys play and get some experience.

John Fillmore

IF . . . they show signs of being able to play as well as their upperclass counterparts. There's still a chance at a bowl.

Steve Rose

It’s time. Get them some playing time with live bullets

We can win these games. Maybe give them a few reps but if they're not ready then it won't be pretty. Get two of three and play a bowl.

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.
