Rex Burkhead 2nd Team All-American

[iruletheskool]

Rex n Roy both mean King....

King Frazier walked on..

 

[Brasky]

Michael Rexford Burkhead....

Doesn't have the same ring as sexy rexy.

Rex is more of a complete back than Roy, that argument is silly..


Ever notice that both their names translate to King? Coweenkydink

You are right. The argument is silly. I would take Roy 100 times out of 100 over Rex. It isn't even close.

that is a bit ridiculous, both are about equivalent as far as what they bring to the table..


but to say Roy.. who was a 1 tool back.. is more complete, is asinine

The durability question about Helu is kind of funny considering he played in every game in his last 3 years. Yes he had nagging things but he still played.

He only lost 6 fumbles (that I can find) in his 4 year career. Taylor lost 5 in 2010 alone.

He could run between the tackles but wasn't asked to. The offense we ran didn't ask for our RBs to do that. He was far more than a 1 tool guy.

I like this Burkhead kid, congrats to him.

Nothing like comparing apples to dogshit...

 

[jedburks]

Not trying to compare. Just giving context. Hell, Taylor only losing 5 fumbles was pretty good considering he fumbled 16 times that year.

Rex has more tools as an RB than Roy..

Theys about equal in skill and importance to the team..

1,357 yds by Burkhead last season was most by a Husker running back since... wait for it...

1997.

Roy

Rex

Granted, he had more attempts, (Practically double what he did his sophomore year) but you have to look at the fact that Rex ran in between the tackles against a stacked box a majority of the time.

He was our whole offense. Roy wasn't ever our whole offense, and if you asked him to be he would fall apart like paper mache.

Great for him. He also did that with 284 carries.

In 2010, Roy had 1245 yards rushing in 188 carries.

Roy had 20 carries of 20 yards or more in his last 3 years. Rex has 11.

 

[Brasky]

Again, in between the tackles, stacked box, entirely different offense.
