He’s a lil thicker than Mozzee I’d take him and Mozee as a 1 2 punch if we’re not taking a bonafide RB1

Schedule detail
EJ had a normal amount of touches for being an All-American. Every year, the top 5-10 RB's get around 23-25 touches a game. And we used him out in space quite a bit, so his touches weren't that heavy. Boise was lucky Jeanty didn't get hurt last year, or Illinois with Brown in 22. But I don't think we got that "insanely lucky" that EJ didn't get hurt. We used an All-American RB a very reasonable amount.
Uh oh boys we mighta got one
@Faux Sean Callahan don't let this man diss you like that
Follow me on this possible theory if you will....
A: We don't want to LOSE a bunch of RBs to the portal. We simply can't afford it.
B: At the same time we know we need to add at least one.
C: We also know that aggressively recruiting one will possibly push a few we have towards the portal.
D: So we wait for the the back half or closer to the end of the portal closing to make our move at RB so as to make guys on the roster already hesitate on jumping in so late.
Make sense or are our coaches not capable of this level of treachery?
You could almost apply this to our WR room as well.

TPB is a leading Nebraska media outlet, not a fan account!
What’s his @?
Admittedly, I didn't really watch him this year and realize he was a true freshman so maybe the potential is there but just looking at his individual game stats, he doesn't really excite me. Still think we need a true #1 back, personally.
If you extrapolated his stats based on a typical RB1 work load he would be pretty serviceable. Minnesota was generally doo doo this year too
I agree. Not saying he's terrible by any means but I'm of the opinion we need more than "serviceable" at the position. I think what we have rn is "serviceable"
I can’t tell if you’re being series or not.
Hopefully he shakes out to be a similar or better player if we sign him. Just wish that with all the RB's in the portal, we'd go after someone with more proven production and stop going after so many guys with "potential". That being said, I may have a different opinion on that when our portal class is all said and done.
we did go for a proven production guy. He turned down a $1.4M offer.
Who was that?
Isn’t the Minnesota guy a freshman? If we had a freshman RB2 returning with those kind of numbers, I don’t think you’d see as many people freaking out about the RB room
