Huskers may start 155-pound CB

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

Bo calls him, Mini Me.

5-11 is about what most CBs stand. If he's got the speed, quickness and is willing to stick his headgear in when that sweep comes his way, give the man some playing time.

Why not. Read of a 6th grader (12 yrs old), here in TN, that became the youngest player to throw for a TD, in a high school varsity game. Video w/ article showed his small frame throwing a good pass too!

Excellent points.

Exactly. Leach used to line those little rug rats of his up against bigger DBs and the DBs wound up grabbing air most of the time. Wes Welker ring a bell?

Those opponents that adjusted contained Tech. Those that didn't allowed the QBs to set crazy yards passing records.

RUDY! RUDY! RUDY! Oh wrong school, sorry.

He needs to add some weight so he doesn't get muscled out of position. If teams can get their 6+ 210 pound guy in a mismatch, he'll be pushed around.

Start stuffing him with those Omaha stakes and sweet Nebraska corn, along with a case of beer every night he will gain weight, I can testify to this.

Stakes? Is he a vampire?

You been watching too much True Blood or Twilight...lol

See what happens we they enter the Big 10 they get smaller and smaller to let Wisconsin and TOSU think they are the true powerhouse. I think Delany told him to start the kid or they would be sent back to the BIG12

What does he mean I carry myself with a big man mentality...is this some kind of waif code language?
