2025 RB commit Conor Booth

I wonder what kind of plan they have for Connor moving forward to next season.. Can’t really say he’s better than Emmit Johnson..

We desperately need a stud running back better than what have on the roster presently..
Sure he's playing with really good teammates against lesser teams in a lower division. But that kid is fun to watch. He certainly looks the part. He looks like some of those unheralded Big 10 RBs that we have been seeing these last dozen years.

Hartzog OUT for UCLA

Charles got pressed into duty against a very good WR group last week and played a bunch against Indiana. And the other three are not wanting in terms of game experience. NU will be fine.
We've been playing very few guys in the defensive backfield. I have a feeling there are a few backups who are ready to prove themselves but they haven't yet gotten the opportunity.

SIAP....The 1000 pound Gorilla in the room...

seriously.. most star players have been opting out of bowl games these last few years.. it's another chance to get injured and there is little to gain from it, unless you're a backup player trying to get noticed.
But that doesn't mean that the opt out players don't still want to play. I would think that most standout football players always like to play another game. They're just acting on the advice that they are being given.

Also, I suppose the trip to Florida/Texas/California would be nice for a kid from Nebraska, but I doubt it means much to the players who are actually from Florida/Texas/California etc.

Now a playoff means something, and ofc the players want to play in that game, but a bowl game these days is kinda for losers.. (think about it from a championship mindset.. that's where all the losers end up.). And if you're a fan looking at this as your super bowl moment or just something meaningful, then I'm sorry, you really are living in another world.. which ironically is where most Nebraska fans are living these days.
The bolded is the entire point. We have 120ish players, but only 22 starters. Next years first time starters are backups this year that could really benefit from the extra bowl practices.

And everybody likes a trip on someone else’s dime.
