Top 5 Nebraska RBs of all time

[Herbie]

Helu is really underrated. He had more long TD runs than any other rb

The man needs more respect on his name, I think him and Abdullah are interchangeable on these list. But that Missouri game always just comes to my mind when thinking of the two.

Single best performance for an rb in Husker history

 

[ChocaEgg]

Phillips
Rozier
Phillips
Crouch
Frazier

King Frazier top 5?!?!?!

Man I miss good blocking and the ability for a running back to make someone miss or just outrun them 🙁

Also honorable mention to Jay Sims, the greatest 4th string running back in CFB history. Basically set every performance index testing record at Nebraska, but stuck behind Lawrence Phillips, Ahman Green, & Damon Benning, and only got to put on a show in mop-up duty. Would have started for most other teams.

Sims was fast af. Didn't he run a low or sub 4.3?

I may have missed it - but I've seen no name drop of Correll Buckhalter, and I'm disappointed in you fuckers.

11 100+ rushing yard games on only 9 starts...might be the most insane stat you could list.

IDK what he got to eventually, but he was 220 lbs running a 4.42 & a 41 inch vertical after his sophomore year.

Sports Players shatter records

After winning two consecutive national championships,it would be hard to believe that the Nebraska football teamcould show up to spring practice on March 25 with more rawtalent than the past

Is that good?

I mean, I've done one of those 3 things myself.

Of the 3 Kings generation, my order would be Roy, Rex, Ameer

My top 5 is pretty similar to others: Rozier-Phillips-Green-Craig-Abdullah.

I like to think of RB's that due to the depth chart or other circumstances could have been remembered much differently:

• Jeff Smith - played behind Rozier. Was great in the Orange Bowl when Rozier got hurt and good starter in 1984.
• Doug DuBose - coke head and some injuries but still put together decent production.
• Buckhalter - the staff starting Alexander in front of him drove me nuts in real time. Buck had actual IB talents, Alexander was a big, fast guy with little athletic ability if the hole wasn't there. Buck had a decent NFL career.
• Derek Brown - my preference of the we-backs.
• Ken Clark - just does not get enough credit. All he did was accumulate yards. Not flashy, just a workhorse and tough player.

Well, LP was the best college running back of all time so I think he should be #1 on the list. There isn’t a close second. That’s how much better he was than everyone else.

 

[Jim14510]

I'm Chubb as 1, and HW 2, then Gurley/Hearst 3, and 5 gets murky. Too many. 🙂🙂🙂

HW is clearly 1. Last place as a politician though.

HW is clearly 1. Last place as a politician though.

Not many would argue against that. Chubb my 1 though.

 

[Mr.Bojangles]

I always thought Marlon Lucky got a bad rap even though he was a 5* he was still pretty solid and really good at catching the ball out of the backfield.

He's 5th all time for Nebraska in all purpose yards. Probably didn't live up to the hype but the was a heckin' good player
