I just know planning on EJ + a true frosh taking 25+ touches/Game for 12 weeks is probably not a great idea

Thinking we were at the 2 and being at the 4 and still running the play was next level stupid.
Scored 4 of them with Dana calling the plays and we finally got him going down hill

I'm not thrilled about losing an experienced RB going into the bowl game.
Not ideal but I guess we get to see some new players.
I haven’t heard that name since EJ came back from the portal. It’s hard to imagine a guy like that going to a team where he might have to split carries.
I wouldn't go complete Frost style with Wandale Robinson, but if I were DH I would figure out a way to get Barney carries. He was a multi-purpose player in hs. He's well rested, and it's the last game of the year.
College football is dying with the portal. I have been a big CF fan. But, this year I skipped 2-3 husker games on TV and I have dropped the pay board on this site. I have no interest in our "bowl game" or many other bowl games for that matter. The shifting of talent is hard to keep on and frankly uninteresting. It is clear Nebraska will never "back" because any success will be met with defection. The old days are clearly over. Younger folks may adjust but the allure is wearing thin for me.
So the question is he wanting to move on or is he just wanting to get paid more to stay?
R Johnson can play in the bowl right?
I thought he ran a lot better once Holgorsen took over. I'm not happy to see him go. In the past you'd plan on a guy like this coming back and taking his game to another level. I'm in the minority because I don't blame anyone for this environment, but it kinda sucks.
Tim Beck said it best, you're not building a program, you're just trying to build a team each season. P4 teams have it better than a school like Coastal, but a lot of it still applies.

It must be kind of crazy with these 15 bowl practices. Players dropping off the team randomly, then one or two surprisingly coming back. Coaches here, then not here, then brand new voices in the room.
It wasn’t like this the last time we were in a bowl game.

Thought he had vision issues but DD was a contributor. Would fit in nice with EJ and another back with some quicks. I’m not celebrating this one.
What plays with this kid ever seemed like it was his individual talent? His highlights were always great blocking and lanes or scheme by the OC. He was struggling when he got here to grasp the culture and especially the playbook. If he was even a true prospect....uncle Phil would have kept him in Eugene.
I'm all for paying Emmet but he can find a new home in the market. And let's take whatever we spent on him and parlay it towards an OT.

His poor vision left a lot of yards on the table. He would be a decent back if that improved, but he's not going to juke anyone, it's not in his DNA. He wants to run people over or attempt to jump over them.
That said, I think he will be missed, pending any additions. We could use some experience in that room.
Me neither but it won’t make my day if we finish 7-6 vs 6-7. One result is mediocrity and so is the other - and the 3-6 league record really says a lot about who we are regardless of this game’s outcome.
I hope we use this time to get a jump on next Fall and if the guy was planning to leave why waste any more practice or game reps on him? We have a lot of redshirts and true freshman who figure to play next year and they can really benefit from this month, if given the reps.
If you’re talking about the Ohio State game, Rhule said they called that play thinking that the ball was going to be spotted at the one yard line, but the refs placed it farther back.
