Exceedingly more athletic, bigger upside. However, this question is absolutely ludicrous. Unless you've been to every practice, every chalkboard meeting, and in the locker room, how would you know?!

Jorge L Mendez

LV Sports Books have him at 60 to 1 to win the Heisman .Yes sir

I think he should start. Let Martinez get some work in those four games he's allowed to play in and RS. If he's exceptional let him play.

Think he's gonna be a great player. Well educated football player, tore up California in high school on a record padding rate and now coaches say he can run too! I'm excited to see how great he can b

Tommy Brown

seems to have more confidence.

Pete Badendick

Gebbia is seasoned. Let Martinez take his time. If Gebbia can't handle it then let Martinez come in...

Shane Johnston

Give Martinez time to mature and recover, remember he didn’t play his senior year in high school. In any case, I bet both see a lot of playing time this year.

Robert Lloyd

Leadership.

Bob Dickson

Gebbia I think has a better grasp of the offense from what I've read. He is a good enough runner even though he is not as explosive. And Im guessing he is a much better passer.

John M. Hodge

I think Martinez should redshirt-tough season ahead

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.
