Looking for a Pass Rush

[Mavric]

Freedom Akinmoladun will start at DE for the injured Gangwish.

Michael Rose-Ivey may line up at DE on passing downs.

I just read Banker said they have no plans to use LBs at Rush End.

>> Banker said the Huskers experimented in the offseason with two linebackers playing a rush-end spot on third down. Sophomore Marcus Newby, who contributed as a rush-end early last season, auditioned in the spring. Junior Michael Rose-Ivey did some rush-end work this summer. ... At this point, lining up linebackers like defensive ends is not part of NU's plan with Gangwish out, Banker said.

Too bad Gangwish got hurt. He was showing great effort but didn't have the speed and athleticism to track down Hill for most of the game. His tackle on that 4th down in the 3rd quarter was a nice adjustment to spin back toward the line of scrimmage and make the play.

Alex Davis may have RS pulled. If continues to improve.

What happened to Marcus Newby? I thought pass rush was the one thing we knew he could do?

I was thinking the same thing. He has a hard time getting off blocks, but when Gregory was out last year he was the only speed on the D Line.

I thought Dzuristache was behind Gangwish on the depth chart.

Yeah, but Freedom was clearly the #3 DE overall, even if he was listed behind McMullen, rather than Gangwish.

Let Freedom ring!

Actually, I just wanted to post that picture.

Actually the pass rush on Saturday was OK IMO it could have been better, but you have to take into account that Hill is/was super mobile and his backup wasn't bad either. There were some bad angles and such but they still had 3 sacks.

 

[Red Five]

Someone let me know when we find it.

It is a quality picture.
