[Husker] NU-ISU Game Observations

[Shawn]

While I'm still up in the air about him being a complete back, it is great to have him in to pick up blocks and catch screens. Plus if Lucky would attack defenders the way he did 5 yards from scoring his first TD Saturday, who knows what everyone would be saying about him but that was one of the first times I've seen his determnation in his running and attacking style that seems to be missing when he is shoe string tackled.

I still disagree with the point that Marlon Lucky is somehow a "complete" back.  He does an outstanding job catching the ball, and is a very elusive and fast runner in space.  He's simply a very versatile athlete; look at his passing numbers.  You don't think that yesterday's formations with Lucky lined up as a shotgun quarterback isn't setting up some other fun play with him throwing the ball?    (He's 3 for 5 in his career passing, with 3 touchdowns...)

But he's subpar at the #1 job of a running back, and that's in running inside.  Don't get me wrong...Lucky is a great weapon, but you've got to use him in unconventional ways to really take advantage of his abilities.

I'd still love to see him lined up on punt returns.
