Roy Helu Jr.

Yes, any avid Cornhusker football fan knows that last year, the team played with a lot of injuries, be it Zac Lee with an elbow problem, or highly touted runningback Roy Helu with, well, every sort of problem you could imagine. He suffered from shoulder problems, turf toe, a sprained ankle, brusitis in his knee, and he still managed to reach the thousand yard mark for the season. Pretty impressive if I must say so myself, and the journalists are saying that he is back and looking healthy again. In mid-season form already, they are saying. But wait, doesn't this sound familiar? Just 12 months ago, at the beginning of last season's spring practices, everyone was talking about how the injury problems that had plagued his young career at NU were finally gone. The problem was that things didn't go as planned. Helu missed the spring game with an ankle problem, and missed much of last season with other injuries. Will this year be any different? We will see.
