Top 2 RB's done for the year. RB injuries

[otismotis08]

Hope for a full recovery for those young men. That is rough. Appreciate their dedication.

That said, this season is quickly becoming a goner. Build depth for Ruhle's next season.

 

[BleedRed78]

The issue is the game was over, and we had already lost one of our top 3 backs. Just poor risk/benefit analysis..ie bad coaching decision.

The dude needs the reps to build experience which sadly injuries continue to keep him from doing

 

[Wasker77]

Isaiah Harris looked very good in the spring game. Luben is fine too. They’re already here and know the offense. Both could work in a pinch.

I don't see Harris on the roster. Do I just not see him? Does Luben have any speed to him? Ives is pretty light at 6'2" 185 pounds. Hopefully with the training table he has a little more muscle to him.

I'm looking forward to seeing Ives. It sounds like he is a super talented athlete, but still kind of skinny.

harris was listed on my Huskers.com roster today. His number is in the 30s.

Odds that @king_kong_ will spam/self promote his post from 2 weeks ago that he would kick Anthony Grant off the team?

+18,000,000??

Glad he’s not the coach.

This sucks

Time to

Need to move Sims to running back

Time to install the Dual T offense. Play with two QBs!

Two weeks ago "F Grant, that F'er...why was he even in, boot his ass"

Today: "Can't wait to see what Grant can do as the #1"

That's right. Before today's injury news came out, there was an Omaha radio personality calling for Grant to get more carries. And that was 10 days after he asked why Grant was even getting to play at Minnesota.

I was just on the Husker site. I even had my wife look at it because I can be dyslexic. It lists Hahn followed by Hartzog

So you’re saying the Curse is real?

SIAP!

Grant is our best back. He was durable last year. I think we'll be fine. Qb's get all the runs anyway.

So true - only one 1,000 yard season by an RB since 2014 - Ozigbo in 2018.

grant, for one, should've had his locker cleaned out before the team got back from minn

Literally! 🤣

Can someone teach Gabe Ervin how to protect himself a bit? Gees!

He’s a RB. I’m not sure he can too much. You are either durable enough or you aren’t.

 

[CameronKrazie86]

Will be interesting to see if they move anyone from a different position to RB that maybe was buried on the depth chart at a different position. Also hope those guys all make a full and quick recovery, sounds like painful injuries.

You’re right. He gone apparently. I had to have been looking at an outdated page. ☹️

no need. I own that post and accept any and all criticism that stem from it.

I'd have sent grant packing for losing the MINN game.

I know what he can do as the #1.

excited to see the youngsters because grant is fairly limited.

Right. There were a few erratic children commenting on that ordeal.

Fleeks played RB and WR at Baylor. He seems like a candidate.

It is odd, I don’t recall grant having a fumble reputation last year. Seems like a new flaw

 

[TruHusker]

And why doesn't he deserved to get more carries and what if you put someone else to mop up and they fumble. I guess everyone is OK with that. Lots of second guessing.

Tell us more about grass, Coach.
Also, with all the khaki shorts going on in that room I'm glad the camera is mounted that high.

 

[Yantzeee]

running backs, starting pitching, and cars are a lot a like.

Once they break down they are usually never the same. But when you find a work horse you never let it go.

I know football injuries just are an expected part of the game BUT I thought Rhule's good on good scrimmages were supposed to help in not having so many. Well, there goes that theory but yes I do understand stuff happens. It's most unfortunate for the players involved of course to miss the rest of the season having put in so much work.

For what it’s worth, I would say rules good on good scrimmages, has done wonders for the defense. Their ability to tackle in space has been impressive, and their pursuit as well. Injuries happen, you’ve gotta have the team ready with the next man up.

I'm starting to think my fandom cursed this team. Same with the Pirates in baseball.

It's all your fault. Now we know.

Kewan Lacy will be ready to play next season if need be. Surprised he isn't ranked higher...it will be interesting to see who leaves the team after this year.

 

[HBK4life]

 

[BrighteRed24]

Looking to next year:

Anthony Grant - Gone from eligibility
Rahmir Johnson - Likely to be Gone
Gabe Ervin - 2 season ending injuries in 3 Seasons, injured for 4 games last year as well, probably shouldn't expect a ton from him

These last 9 games will be a good time for Johnson, Ives to get some real game reps and allow the coaching staff to know whether they need to hit to portal for 1-2 running backs in addition to Lacy

Yikes. Need a portal back and at least one more recruit. Lacy probably starts next year.

Ervin didn't suffer a season ending injury last season. According to his bio:

2022 (Redshirt Freshman)
Ervin returned from a season-ending injury in 2021 to play in eight games in 2022. He rushed for 94 yards on 20 carries and had an eight-yard reception.

Ervin had his first carry of the season against North Dakota and had a two-yard rush against Georgia Southern. Ervin led Nebraska with a career-high 60 rushing yards against No. 6 Oklahoma. He then had six carries for 21 yards against Indiana.

Ervin missed the next four games due to injury before returning with two carries for six yards at No. 3 Michigan. He had a four-yard carry the next week against Wisconsin. Ervin recorded his only reception of the season with an eight-yard catch at Iowa, and he also had two carries for two yards against the Hawkeyes.

If I remember correctly, Iowa was the last game of 2022.
