NE StatePaper.com - NEBRASKA FOOTBALL: Roy's Masterpiece


Great running backs are able to get into a rhythm the more carries they have. Placing a back in for 3 plays and then replacing them for a few plays doesn't let them get into a rhythm. Of course, if Ole Barn could get his players to block even close to this, game after game, that would certainly help too! Great job Barn!
