The Bone Yard

I'm hoping Taylor redshirts, but since we don't like to redshirt HB's that may not happen.

Again speaking for me and not for or at any Coach at Nebraska....If Nebraska can score an A+ at RB Management 101 and not just hand the FB predominantly to "who is hot" we will do very very well! Its unfortunate that we lost Braylon Heard!

No further comments. Thank you.

I agree with cool here. There is more to RB than just taking a handoff and running with the ball. They need to be able to do the other things as well before getting on the field IMHO...

Someone to keep an eye on is King Frazier I'd like to see what he could do

According to recent comments by Bo, Cross is apparently looking more stream lined in winter conditioning. Pelini said he was "taken aback" when he saw Cross, evidently surprised that he had lost weight.

Nothing more was said, but Cross might be trying to play a few pounds lighter in 2013. If it led to a little more spring in his step, he might see the field more.

Nice piece here. Good read.

Anyone who thinks that Newby and Taylor will have a big impact in the run game must be suspecting Ameer Cross, and maybe even Frazier to be injured at the same time.

Glad to see Cross isn't satisfied with being a big slow back who only gets goal line carries. He wants to be the #2.

I expect Taylor to RS and I would expect Newby to get some time, but only as a kick returner.

We are stacked and or offense is going to very very good. Can't wait for the WR coming and going episode!

"Pelini knows that Husker fans are aware of Taylor's accomplishments and that those fans will be wanting to see both Taylor and Newby on the field."

I don't believe Bo goes about his days trying to appease husker fans wishes, do you? I mean, winning... yes but I doubt there will be much pressure for Bo to play the freshman provided Ameer is producing on the field.

I have to think Ameer will be working on ball security as well. He is the kind of kid who will fix a problem like that eventually. He cares too much not too.

Problem with cross last year was holding into the ball. We will see if that gets better.

Actually outside of the Idaho State game, where he had his lone fumble of the season, he's been pretty good about holding onto the ball. Granted his sample size was much smaller that say, Ameer, who really needs to pick that aspect up fast. Being the diligent worker Imani is, I think he'll do just fine there. Just gotta get a little quicker and skinner in between the tackles.
