It would depend on the situation but if the entire defense knows it's a running play, Rozier might have a better chance of picking up tough yards. If you need 100 yards on one play I might go with Gre

Mike Rozier was the biggest winner of a running back you would ever want. Tough as nails. Both runners were great, but the edge will go to Rozier with me.

I think he was a tougher and more dynamic rusher, from what I could hear on the radio. i watched Green, so it's a little different. i think the stats speak for themselves.

I was at the UCLA game and his rune is still one of the greats in Husker lore. Green was great, but Rozier was A++ in college.

Bessides Washington, he is exactly what we need, although I see him as a backup, or secondary back to Washington. Washington is better, but we'll see how the season unfolds. It's coming!

Washington is absent for time being. Wirhout Washington D. Mills clearly stands out as the RB who has the most yards of experience at running back for Nebraska.

NU fans have heaped praise on other running backs before they ever excelled on the field. We are doing the same for Dedrick Mills. Let him show us he is the missing link. Remember last year's RB?

IF, IF he can keep himself upright moving forwards, keep issues laid to rest, there is a very positive reaction for a team that has some elementary attitudes, I want all Huskers to succeed!

With Wandale Robinson coming on board, and more maturity and experience at QB, perhaps a big RB wasn't as critical as some positions on defense.

I'll trust the coaches if they think he's got his off field issues under control, but we've seen too many hyped-up JC transfers flame out for me to be too excited until I see something on game day.

Have to see what kind of shape he is in now and where he will be at the end of fall camp. Greg Bell was a very high rated JC back last year and we see how that worked out. I want the best for him!

Unlike last year, a very favorable schedule. If NU wins the games it should, it only has to win 1 of 4 against the tougher opponents (Northwestern, Ohio State, Iowa, Wisconsin). I like those chances.

I'd think 7-8 games is more reasonable but the favorable schedule gives them a win or two.

Darrion Daniels is the reason why we get to 9. Before his transfer announcement, I had us at 7. This young man will make THAT much difference. He will allow the ends to get in the backfield.

It's a reasonable expectation for this season. The Schedule is much better than last year and the evidence from the second half of the season is ample that a major improvement should be expected. GBR

The first 4 games are key. Not only wins but some convincing victories will go a long way towards scoring an upset along the way. Anything less than 8 wins would be a disappointment. 10 wins is doable

Not enough depth to reasonably win 9+ games. We'll need outstanding discipline and execution with precious few injuries to have a shot at 9+.

Unknown commodity or lack of depth at way too many positions including RB, WR, OL, and LB.
