havent been able to buy into the smaller backs. not saying that they cant find a role and be very important in todays pass happy football (perhaps my real issue) but we need to get a 200+ lb runner to be focus (newby?). kieth jones, derek brown are a couple smaller backs that did very well here, but on the most part our better runners have all been a bit thicker. what would be a realistic playing weight for him after a couple years? perhaps he works up to the 200 range but more than likely he is 165 now and end up around 190. i have not been a big fan of the triplets (green, heard, abdullah) as some have, and 1 year into that we have 1 db, 1 transfer, and 1 return specialist.....for every jones/brown it seems we have several t. rodgers, t. collins, d. horne, a. green...:2cents:

i'd take jonathan stewart over lemichael james every time...for those getting ready to reply about the great lemicheal

AA @5'9" 180 lb is the only one that comes to mind.

The first 'smaller' RB that comes to mind when I think of Husker football is Derek Brown. Calvin Jones, who happens to be one of my favorite 'Nebraska' players, and Derek Brown are the ideal RB situation. When those two were both getting over 1,000 yds in the early 90's...wow.

My feeling is if you are fast and have good vision and balance then it doesn't matter what era it is. There are plenty of backs out there 200 lbs or less that are getting the job done.

Barry Sanders 5' 8" 200 lbs. Although I think high school weight was less.

Not taking anything away for them as they were outstanding backs but they had some tractors in front of them.
