I’m still shaking my head about it. He was getting all sorts of press, and I’m sure he’d get at least a look from the NFL scouts. Gotta respect Bo, though, pulling the plug. You violate team rules, you get the boot. Black and white, as he said. I have a feeling that Bo would’ve booted LP and Johnny Rodgers, too. It’s good to see, but it still hurts.
On the other hand, we’ll probably get to see if this Burkhead kid is all he’s cracked up to be. I think NU will probably continue to have a good stable of I-backs.
