East/West - West Practice notes/Video. Running backs in NFL have to be able to pass protect and catch the ball. @TheDevineOzigbo showed he could be valuable in all aspects of NFL backs. According to scouts he’s had outstanding practices showing he’s a complete back. @Huskers

The argument about @OhioStateFB playing Iowa as opposed to going to Indy to play Northwestern is just as good misses the point that the OSU players miss an opportunity to play for a championship.The next snap is never guaranteed. OSU players earned right to play 4 championship

If he is in good academic standing why shouldn't he be eligible right away? - what has he done wrong? He now he has the opportunity to go to Neb. He would rather be at Nebraska - whats wrong with that? Who suffers if he is eligible immediately? Outdated rule - Change it.
