Huskers’ running back coach EJ Barthel spoke with the media following the team’s fourth day of fall camp. Barthel addressed a lot of questions in regard to the running back group, including the mindset he wants them in.
Barthel biggest emphasis he wants for his players is to go in with the mentality of a lion.
“We’re going to run the ball with a lion mindset,” Barthel said. “What that means is everything we do, we’re going to attack with a lion demeanor. You wake up a lion and you do lion things. A lion, if he’s going to hunt if he doesn’t kill, he doesn’t eat. That’s the reality of how we want to run the football. Everything we do needs to be with a physical intent.”
