I would take him back.

Omg. You want a average RB. Awesome.

We could use a thumper.

Yes?

4 years 4 teams what a system.

 

[Truewooper]

I would take him if he was at a very low discount price. Our RZ offense was awfulllll this year. It was somewhat better with him last year.

He was above average in the red zone, and he shattered Shilo Sanders' arm. Those two facts alone should earn a man a ticket back to Lincoln. Better than what we have on paper today? Yes.

I agree with you entirely. It's also evolve or die to keep up even mid-tier teams. We can embrace what it is and be 7-5 again next year, or "develop" the same way we always haven't, and go 3-9. Either way, this staff will be here at least two more years simply to be able to afford changeover.

 

[Im4NUalways2]

Yes?

Then we will continue to suck at RB outside of EJ this year.

Such low expectations.

He's not a guy that you bring back to be a feature back. He's an inside the 5 touchdown machine the same way we used him two years ago. We do need a #1 RB in addition.

Matt can't get picky.

 

[cubsker15]

Pretty sure he just goes to the highest bidder

We don’t have average RBs

having one will be nice

obviously having a great one in addition would be nice

There are some good backs in the portal. Rather spend money on another starting OT and DT. I’m expecting a lot from our incoming RB. Pretty stout kid.

I don’t want to assume it is an either/or situation. I want to see us spend on RB, OL and DL.

He wasn’t a bad rb. His dad was

 

[USNHusker]

Yes?

Raiola is a cancer according to you, but a kid who will be going to his 4th school in 4 years is not? Makes sense.

Oh whatever. That King Kong guy is right a lot more than he's wrong. You (and most of this board) just don't like his tone. Grow a sack

I don't know if he is a cancer but he is probably making a smart move. Fixing our OL in 1 year probably will not happen. The rest of the team is a long ways away from winning 8,9 or 10 games. Next year they may not win 5.

He will get paid a lot of money by a team with better chances to win. That helps his career over all. Not what NU fans want to hesr but its reality in 2026.

 

[Mack In Motion]

Does he have a 5th year of eligibility coming up?

5 schools in 5 years would be quite an accomplishment.

Looking like Superbigfan69’s early resume when he started his career.

 

[Zeke Husker]

as others have noted he would be good to have for a ram rod type of RB close to the goal line. From what I see we currently do not have anyone on the roster like that. Not worth a big paycheck though.
