The Husker nation all sighed in relief at once as we heard that star Nebraska running back Marlon Lucky will return next year to play football. Yesterday was the last day for college seniors to declare for the NFL draft, and Lucky was not one of them.
A number of factors went into Marlon Lucky's decision to stay with the Husker football program according to the Lincoln Journal Star.
The first factor was the education aspect. His guardians put a high importance on education and likely pushed Marlon to stay; he is only one year away!
The second factor was the coaching staff. Lucky most likely liked that Nebraska football coaches in the offense were kept on board after Callahan was fired. Husker offensive coordinator Shawn Watson ran a great offense that was underrated last year, and Marlon Lucky will be a key contributor in 2008.
Look for Marlon Lucky to lead the offense to a strong 2008 Husker season!
