No doubt! And it's in no way a dig at Abdullah or Heard, as they have been outstanding.

Burkhead is a back like I've never seen before. It's as if he says "OK, I'm getting 7 yards on this play" and there's nothing short of an asteroid the size of Omaha landing on his head that will stop him from getting it. We may have had more purely gifted RBs at NU, but none of them were as much fun to watch. And none had the heart he has (and we've had some very high class RBs).

I'm trying to imagine him behind the lines from the 90s. What a show he would have put on.

This.

I'm sure I should know, but who is AA? Thanks.

This borders on disrespect and is uncalled for. AA was outstanding and will be outstanding. Surely you are more savvy than this.

Rex has helped instill a work ethic and attitude that will live along time in the Husker program. You can see his influence on Ameer, Braylon & Imani, not to mention the rest of the team, when they get the ball. Ameer, Braylon & Imani will just get better and better and pass it along to the next group of backs. His presence will be felt for years.

Rex Burkhead is the only player I know to reach 150% of his potential!

Hope he comes back as a (head) coach sometime.

Work ethic, attitude, and also a desire to reach out to those in need. As exemplified by the Uplifting Athletes membership:

Bingo! It was like watching a big black and yellow mass rolling down the field!!! :lol:

It was like watching six year olds play soccer.

Chuck Norris says this, twitter@chucknorris, "I am no longer the man. Replaced by Rex B...cuz even I can't tackle him."

That's funny. Brought back some very old memories.

Define tough: Still running with 4 Hawkeye players on your back AND chewing a hole in #5's arm. That's tough.
