best RB??

[HuskerFan8807]

the board seems slow today, and im bored as well. I decided to start this thread just to find out who you guys think was Nebraska's best HB ever?
On strait talent
Lawrence Phillips.

im sure ill catch shit for that but i want to hear what husker fans think!

Phillips was very talented, on the field, but our line during those years were just incredible. However, I think its hard to top Mike Rozier in the early 80's.

Lawrence Phillips...as far as on field players go he is one of my favorite Cornhuskers.

LP.

I don't know why you'd catch shit for that.

It was LP

The guy had great field vision. Something NU backs have lacked since..

 

[HuskerFan8807]

i figured everyone would say Roger Craig or Mike Rozier, or Marlon Lucky lol!

 

[corn train]

well they were the best.
my favorites are Calvin Jones and Bobby Newcombe

Mike Rozier

LP... dude had the talent to be one of tbe best running backs ever. PeRIOD... what a waste... God should have gave that talent to someone who would've respected it...

 

[HuskerPower52]

Lp based on talent alone . Cory Ross I loved the way he could and would pass block and then the next play run for big yards .

 

[Fumble_Rooskie]

Rozier just because I'd rather not acknowledge LP for any reason....

 

[popeyecv64]

Mike Rozier had talent and brains unlike LP ---- LP just had talent

 

[iruletheskool]

should we put Thunder Collins up there too?

Lawrence Phillips hands down was the best running back to ever in a Husker uniform. Yes Mike Rozier was the second best tailback at Nebraska.

 

[corn train]

He sure liked to beat women also, he'll always be a piece of shit to me

 

[HawkeyeHater]

But....... no one is debating the fact that he is a piece of shit.......

That doesn't mean he isn't the best running back to ever step on the field at Memorial...

He could run you over, make you miss, out-run you, and catch.
