Our secondary looks good. With all the big safeties, and the lack of depth at LB, is there any chance we see some of the big safeties playing OLB?

Not looking quite as explosive as I hoped for in game one.  I can't lie

I was hoping our lines would dominate, but the OL doesn't seem to be any better than A. ALs DL.

That was a big break. Terrible pass

What's the word on Mo? Will he play today?

Even ESPN doesn’t like listening to Beth

I was thinking that the pitch of her voice was causing cracks in solid state electronic components.

We are still blaming you.

I accept full responsibility

Someone realized they kick the cord out of the plug.

Anyone else lose the game?

All of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is almost as bad as a lightning delay (spelled correctly :)) Will Frost ever give us a clean first game of the season?

A lot of snaps Martinez is coming off both feet to get it.  That'll bite us at some point.

Didn't Juergens have a few bad snaps in the Spring game?

Technical difficulties???? Are we going to miss the rest of the game? WHat's going on?

I am excited to see how much the D has improved. It would be very satisfying to see a dominating performance. Less than 100 yards rushing, 7 or less points. Two or more turnovers, and at least 3 sacks.

Did we work on any under center stuff in the spring?

I would like to have seen the OL just drive these guys straight back into the end zone.

Looks like Mills was short of the goal line.

And this woman has an annoying voice.

Looks like the tight ends will be used this year

I just don't see how defenseless player didn't already cover this without it being ridiculous. They can apply defenseless player whenever they think the hit is unsafe. Some of these types of blocks are not that hard, and defensive players shouldn't be learning that they can just run around blind.

Or blocking in the back. Which side of a player is blind - the back, so we have a rule for no blocking in the back. How can a ref judge if a player sees the defender? Only by watching the results. If I was a defensive coach, I would tell my players to focus on the ball carrier, and ignore the blockers. That way if they block you, you were blind.

The latest forecast has no lightning. The forecasts are  probably less reliable than usual because of the hurricane.

You just don't like kool aid at all do ya?  haha.

 

This is not a good team we are playing this weekend.  If the backups don't increase the lead while in and we don't win by 30+, then my kool aid level will decrease a fair amount. 

I also think the objective may not always be to score. We may not run the best play in a situation for two reasons:

1. We need to practice another play, and
2. There is no need to show our tendencies in this game

The only thing that can slow us down is lightning.

I just checked the weather, and thunderstorms are predicted for Saturday morning. Even though I expect the worst case is a delay, that could mean no TV coverage. In any case, it will be cruel to force Husker fans to wait 2 or 3 hours for weather to clear before we get to see the 2nd year improvements.

Last I saw, the spread was over 30 points. I don't think we cover because we will play many players, and most of the 2nd half will be used as a practice to work on weaknesses. I do believe the team will come out strong, displaying the power of the new culture. S. Bama will be overwhelmed, We may go up by more than 30, but I doubt we end with a lead that large.

The guy has really good straight-line speed. But doesn’t have near the quickness and junking ability of Washington. Still he is a steady player who will contribute, especially if Mo doesn’t play. 

Losing Mo would be the equivalent of losing Deangelo Evans.

10-2 regular season then lose B1G championship and bowl game? or 9-3 regular season then lose the bowl game? or just 8-4?

Any of the above. Bo seemed to have the curse beat in 2010, then lost the CCG and the bowl to washington. Bo did a repeat in 2012 with Wiscy and Gorgia in the bowl game.  It is time to lose less than 3, but I am not sure it happens this year.

 I don't think that was lost on anyone.

He has Bill Walton's feet

Maybe colorado will be a good game to test the limits of this new rule. I am thinking of a punk that likes to twist ankles.
