The true origins of the football team who plays for the "Northern Lady" are lost to time, much like the townspeople of Sandy Bowitz in A Canticle of Leibowitz who have no idea that their town was originally named after Saint Leibowitz.

Lol. I’m still laughing. Lol

It really isn’t a horrible decision. Nebraska has a serious problem with RB depth, and he will probably start day one. If he starts he probably won’t be giving up too many carries to other backs, which could help him pad the stats.

Hopefully he has success and gets a degree! Seems like a good kid.

their offense does not really suit his talents though. Heck he could go to Illinois and be productive there in Bielema's offense

He fits just fine. I would imagine Frost recruited him to play there because he feels he fits as well. I can’t speak to the RB situation at Illinois because I don’t follow the program, but at Nebraska I would be surprised if he doesn’t start day 1.

Reminds me a lot of Devine Ozigbo who ran for 1000 yards in Nebraska’s 2018 offense. Very similar players IMO.

Nebraska will take anybody, they suck

Sure. So does Illinois...and a lot of other teams. The basic premise of your comment was that the offense didn’t “suit” his talents. They had a RB with a very similar skill set and frame/build the last two years. He is the exact profile they recruit and have used in their offense.

Now if you just think he should have went to a better school, I can’t disagree with you there. Sounds like he was offered by Wisconsin which is orders of magnitude better.

He should've went and played for Chuck Martin, been a Redskin like his Dad and chased co-eds uptown on High St. A tradition like no other.
