No doubt! He has a nice burst, but the guy sure isn't going to take it to the house. The times he did break one it looked like he suddenly was pulling a plow after 20 yds. Forget about YAC. Mo Washington runs harder than Bell and truth-be-told he probably only weighs 170lbs. Wyatt DEFINITELY runs harder.
I don't understand Cigarman's thinking about these guys that have left. Just don't get it at all. The losses suck hard, but if anything it's helping to speed up the eventual cull
His ability, without the speed reminds me to f Newby, not his speed, but better at that first north south finding the seam and getting into it thing.
He showed no yac/truck, or very little.
On his fumble, it was helmut to ball, somewhat understandable.
Hes had good practices, so, his effort seemed there, but his feelings got too much in the way for a team concept,something you wont learn in high school where youre bmoc or juco, where youre on your own to get out.
He needed to invest in his coaches more.

Kind of fed up with the quitters who simply don’t want to compete with other players for playing time!!
Unfortunately I believe this 4 game rule that allows players to play up to 4 games and still being able to quit/transfer is proving to not be such a good thing.

Agreed- but with coaches coming and going as they please despite contracts, the kids need some recourse. And, in the future, it really could stand to benefit the teams.
Dammit. Now who will we put in on 4th and 1?
Not at all, they have been cuddled and they expect cuddling at the U they are in the wrong spot. Its a system where the cream rises to the top. When I played ball, you worked hard and if someone beat you out then you sat until you got the opportunity to prove yourself and you better go do it. The products of our society are soft soft and softer today. Ziggy earned the start, proved himself in the start adn will start again tomorrow. Amagine that, after all the crap the kid went through. Bell is unhappy, go be unhappy someplace else and don't complain about the door slapping your ass when you leave. We do not need that crap. Nor do we need to mope around feeling bad because a second stringer quit.
We have butted heads in the past but you are hundred percent correct on every word of what you say. I thought the 4 game rule stunk when announced and it still does. Bell was soft between the ears and now hes gone. I m not sorry, we should be praising Ziggy for his effort, not this crap about a poor player who couldn't cut the mustard.
He was dragged down from behind in the open field,,,for craps sake.
Well, would you rather a kid that wants to quit after 4 games be in the same locker room as the kids that want to persevere? I see both positive and negative in the new rule. Kind of too bad that a kid like Jordan Stephenson didnt have this rule to take advantage of.
Gotta bust a few eggs in order to make an omelette...If that wasn’t the case...I’d be a Navy SEAL right now. Gotta weed out the ones who can’t, won’t, or on their own program...Don’t do that...You’ll never have a team. It’s funny how they call the SEALs...”The Teams” in the Navy. I wonder why? I’m all for mentoring, guiding, and accountability...But if the young person doesn’t pick it up...Not a whole lot you can do. I can see what Frost is doing...Creating a culture of competition and don’t think your job is safe...There’s a hungry person right behind you...I love it! Even if we do get stomped by Wisconsin.
Its good to get rid of the Porch Dogs that expect to have their bowl brought to them. Give me a hound that sees another hound with a ham bone, and proceeds to take it away from him. That’s the definition of culture!
I’d rather lose than quit...I’d rather FAIL than quit...I got orders to Afghanistan after coming off a 10 month deployment on Nimitz...It was tough to swallow...My Master Chief told me...you can say No. I said...yeah right.

Nebraska official now confirms Greg Bell has asked for and received his scholarship release. Bell told ESPN he wasn’t being used to his “fullest potential.” #huskers
Good god what mental weakness. Gets beat out by a senior, gets challenged in practice to do a better job, then runs out the door.
Don't care what a kid is ranked or hyped coming in, if you are not willing to fight for your reps then you will not make it in the Frost era.

Yep. That is that ME attitude that doesn't go over well with Frost. It's TEAM or the highway. Ozigbo defines what TEAM means. I wish we had 150 guys like him. We are getting there just need lots more.
Nope. I’d rather those who want to fight/compete for playing time, something that made the 90’s what they were. You can ask every player that ever played the game, have you ever wanted to quit or transfer, and almost to a T they’ll all say yes. What made them great or resulted in the person they are today was the intestinal fortitude to fight on. I’m sick of the weak minded kids that we’ve been handcuffed with as of late. So insecure with their own abilities that they quit or transfer out. Every player faces a point where they question their situation. Until such a time that we have players that put the team over their own goals, no matter who’s the coach, we’ll never succeed! That’s what I want!!
