If the qb can run, of course. And TA is a powerful runner who can be very effective.

Danny Baker

Use Armstrong's strength.

James Traut

Makes sense with Armstrong as starter &. Bush as back up. Switch to QB pro set in 2017.

Stephen Johnson

Depends on who is at QB. Obrien, then no. If he is returning senior then YES.

Garret Shaw

With a talent like TA, limiting his passing, and his reads, should be tantamount for this coaching staff. Their jobs depend on at least 8 wins this coming year. That depends on limiting TA's interceptions.

Thom Beran

because probably was not an option

David V.Starks

I felt this past season with the new OC he tried to make our team into something that were not, a pass team, 60%! That's not who this team is or past teams in our history. The running game is the HEART of Neb. HUSKER, you run to set up the passing game not the other way around.

Richard Johnson

It makes the offense so much harder to defend, especially if you have someone that can run like TA..

Robert Dodd

yes it will force teams to play the whole field EVERY down!!

Joe Bolubasz

We have to play to win each game and not worry so much about next one so much! One week at a time!!

Isaiah Skrdla

Running the ball is what Armstrong excels at and it gives a plus one blocking advantage to the offense. Win win if you ask me.

What ever helps us win. If passing is not better then more running.

John Lienemann

No, keep his running limited! Is it me or did anyone watch the UCLA game.

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.
