[Husker] Mountains & molehills

THIS is a fullback! :)

Here's another one

Those were fun and I understand the fond memories but we are where we are
and time has moved on. There was a special place in the hearts of Husker
fans for a position that was seldom even recruited by most teams. Seeing a
FB trap play that would occasionally spring for 20 or more yards gave us all
a warm feeling inside that usually only comes from a hot toddy :)

I think the question isn't so much where's the fullback as it is "where's
the offensive identity". Hopefully we see some in-flight corrections in the
off season. In the mean time, youtube is a great way to feed off of bygone
days.
