I noticed the receivers doing a drill today known as settle up and noose. It's an everyday drill air raid teams use to train running mesh vs zone & it's kind of exclusive to that system. I'm not implying NU's on the verge of becoming an air raid offense, but between this and the Holgorsen visit, I expect to see them implement some concepts from that offensive.
Obviously not at Husker practice but here's what Carter Nelson has done in track this year:
11.03 100 meters
22.28 200 meters
54.85 400 meters
50-6 shot put
188-1 discus (top 20 nationally)
6-2 high jump
13-6 pole vault
22-7 long jump (leads class C)
The 400 and high jump aren't that impressive. As a former 7-0 high jumper, I'm sure the weight he has put on has limited his high jumping. I would guess he's mostly just jumped high enough to win.
But those are some pretty good marks across over half of the available individual events. And the sprint marks are pretty impressive for a guy that size.

You can't because it is not the coaches doing it.
It is other players and then handlers.
It happens in the NFL and NBA all the time too. The NBA has perfected it and the league just doesn't care.

I can't honestly believe anyone still thinks the NCAA can do anything. Thanks for the laugh!
Seriously, the big leagues can handle things because of collective bargaining and a commissioner. There is zero hope of containing anything with the current setup in college sports.

NCAA is just HOPING and PRAYING that they can survive, they are not needed at all. The idea that their is this "governing body" over college sports is insane. They are done and they know it, they just don't know when their "end" is as of yet.
