Rozier never won that elusive title, though some allude to him being best ever.Rozier for me. Yeah L.P. was great, but people wanted to replace the figure on top of the capital bldg with Rozier.
I would have liked to see what a healthy career could have done for D’Angelo Evans. Feels like he never had enough time to shine his brightest.
Not saying he could have bested some of the greats, but just mixing up the convo a little.

Not our best ever, but I liked to watch Doug DuBose, Rick Berns, and Tony Davis.

Berns was underrated, in my opinion. I don't think he played behind the dominant offensive lines that some other RBs had, and never played with an elite QB. While I wouldn't put Berns in the top tier with Phillips, Rozier and Green, he's not far down the list.Not our best ever, but I liked to watch Doug DuBose, Rick Berns, and Tony Davis.

I definitely think Rex Burkhead is in the top three. He won a lot of games for us without a stellar offensive line in front of him. Two games were off the charts. A cold, windy day in Iowa City when we were down at halftime and he told Bo to put him in even though he was injured to start the 2nd half. He willed us to victory. Or the game against Colorado in Lincoln where he basically played the wildcat the whole game and took us to victory on his legs and arm.
No love for Jeff Kinney.
He and Rich Glover won that game in Norman we are celebrating this year.
I watched it!
171 yards, 4 touchdowns. Jersey ripped, pads flapping on the last drive.
In the "Game of the Century" against the unbeaten Oklahoma Sooners in Norman on Thanksgiving Day 1971, Kinney rushed for 171 yards, 151 in the second half, on 31 carries (5.5 avg.) and scored four touchdowns, the final one with less than two minutes remaining to put Nebraska ahead 35–31, the final score.[5][6][7][8]
I thought that game was Iowa St. where we were in Wildcat all game. Maybe there was another.
Right on. Burkhead played a lot of wildcat against both Iowa St. in Ames and versus Colorado in Lincoln.I thought that game was Iowa St. where we were in Wildcat all game. Maybe there was another.
TO called him the most talented college RB he's ever seen anywhere.
All name team....Mine was Jarvis Redwine and IM Hipp.
No no no ! Rozier !Ken Clark was one of the best with his patience to use his blockers. I know he won’t “win” this type of competition but he is a very underrated Nebraska running back.
One of my best Husker memories was watching him out perform Barry Sanders in 1988.
That was an epic performance. Best I ever saw in many years of of fandom !Rozier’s performance in the ‘82 Mizzou game was epic.
He was suited up but was not intended to play due to a hip injury. As the game went on and Mizzou knocked out Gill and IIRC another QB and made the game close Rozier came in and took a beating but led NU to the win.
As gutsy a performance as I ever saw,
Rozier

IMO Rozier - Lots of people will vote LP because his highlight reel was bigger. The TV coverage of the games was minimal in the early 80s. (maybe it was just for me, I lived in Rural Nebraska and only got CBS)
As a kid, I listened to all the games... Bremser and Pavelka brought them to life.
