Marcus Washington

[MHKHusker]

Anyone heard any updates on his injury? I know Rhule touched on it during the presser but never did hear the severity. Coming out of the tent with no helmet and it wrapped up is always a bad sign

The bye week is here in the nick of time. NU is going to have to lean on the young an inexperienced at WR and RB going forward.

The next 13 days are ginormous for Matt Rhule and the Nebraska program.

Biggest understatement of the season

Malachi almost got hit in stride and would have been gone, had the ball not been over throw. But it was good seeing youth out there

Fingers crossed on his health. While he has dropped a couple balls, he is experience, runs good routes, and blocks well. We need him down the stretch big time.

I saw the PFF for the game. Malachi played 57 snaps. 2nd only to Bullock.

I'm not holding out much hope for Washington, unfortunately. Those kinds of knee injuries where it's non-contact (or your upper body is making contact but your knee just goes) don't generally turn out to be minor.

I am thinking over break young guys will emerge.

Completely agree!

Confirmed out for year with ACL.

That sucks on so many levels.

For those wanting all those young wideouts on the field... well... here you go.

Expect throwing percentages to decrease. Let's hope the speed makes up for lack of experience and precision with some big plays.

This is a nightmare for a team that can't throw the ball consistently.

With that said...Bring it on! Gonna get interesting.

One addition to this: Rhule said they weren't sure if Washington could come back for another year, but Marcus is interested in returning if possible.

We need him. He's not a WR1, but he is a serviceable #2 or #3 WITH experience.

You're not kidding. Looking at the depth chart without Washington, Nebraska has 1 Senior (Kemp) while everyone else is a Freshman or Sophomore. As many have pointed out, unless a bunch of the new players step up the second half of the season, Nebraska needs to hit the portal hard for difference-making receivers. Unfortunately, the heavy reliance on the run game (necessitated by the lack of experienced receivers) isn't going to help sell most recruits on opportunities for receivers.
