Huskers Land Alabama Transfer Safety Kaine Williams

That’s a sneakily good pickup. Hoping he gets a shot at playing time. The less Farmer the better IMO. 

 
If we could find one top caliber O line and D line guy by Aug 1, and somehow hang on to the better guys across the team, there is reason to hope for team improvement thru the season.  Not sure it will mean many wins and the first 5 weeks will be tough.  Going to need lots of luck to find a way to win some.  By middle of season, barring injury to starters and most backups, the team will be much like last year imo.  No team will find them easy to beat but Husker wins will be equally hard to get.  
 

Ultimately, the season comes down to line of scrimmage and QB play.  The offense will need Whipple to find a way to move the ball by getting first downs, controlling the clock and taking advantage of short fields etc.  hopefully we don’t hear the term ‘chunk plays’ much.  That will be a good sign.  Teams trying to make 10 plus yard gains all the time have turnovers, penalties and time of possession issues.  Nothing wrong with a few ‘big plays’ but ball control, physical play and error free play is Big Ten football.  

Our defense is not physically over powering so we don’t wear people down.  D line won’t be strong or deep so we need to help them by retaining ball possession and scoring TDs.  Fewer possessions per game and high efficiency is critical.  Whipple, if Frost lets him, will be almost as important to our defense as Chins.  The best chance for a bowl game will be if STs ‘wins’ three or more.  It could happen, if Frost will truly devote practice and talent to it.

Read LSU wanted him as LB.  Will they keep him as a safety or create a position for him on D.  Looks to be a great get.  I really don't like Bama at all, but you can't argue Saban and Co can identify talent and develop it.  Fish seems to be able to develop his room for sure.

Fish seems to be able to develop the three star guys pretty well. Some of the four stars did not really pan out. Especially the Florida guys & anyone that plays safety. Has definitely loaded up the room again.
