First thing Garrison said to his linemen while prepping this week: "Get ready for a fight." #Huskers

Garrison said his O-linemen were laughing the other day while watching cutups of the 2002 Rose Bowl "because I was on the ground a lot."

Garrison on his O-line: "As times goes on ... I think this is going to be a real special group." Wants more consistency though. #Huskers

Garrison calls Jake Cotton a throwback guy. "He wants to pull and hit somebody." #Huskers

Garrison said Alex Lewis probably knew the offense after just the first week of installation. "He's got a football mind."

Garrison said Mark Pelini can tell him exactly how a defense lined up on each play after each series. Calls Pelini "the human calculator."

Garrison on Knevel: "Two or three yrs we're going to be talking about him a lot." Says he can be "a phenomenal" player. Has to get stronger.

Garrison said Tanner Farmer reported at about 330 pounds. Wants him at 295. He's down to around 303 or so now. #Huskers

Garrison said Farmer is the strongest linemen the #Huskers have. Just wants him to know he doesn't have to bench 600 to be a great linemen.

When asked by vets this summer to give a talk about famous people w/ mustaches, Farmer gave a 30-minute presentation on Roosevelt's mustache

Right off the bat Pelini came up to Garrison, pointed at Jerald Foster and said: "He's a stud."

Garrison said he warned his guys about McNeese State. Remembered playing them in 2002. The day after, he felt like he'd played Oklahoma.

Brian Christopherson ‏@HuskerExtraBC 1h

Garrison: "I really believe that (McNeese) game happened for a reason ... It was a wake-up call for our players" on responding to adversity.

Nick Gates could be a tackle. Has seen reps at guard. "I think his ultimate position, though, might be center," Garrison said. #Huskers
