Looks like the same top 10 as a couple months ago but considering I don't think he's been here I doubt he's picking us on Saturday.

Kind of looks like this isn't going to work out. None of the sites are showing an offer from us so perhaps we didn't actually offer. In fact, he doesn't appear to have any D1 offers. He was originally listed at 5-10 but a couple sites only have him at 5-8 now. Guess he didn't shrink.

THE SELLOUT STREAK IS ENDING THIS YEAR??!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!

That was my thought as well. I was hoping they went through every poll and did the same points that they do for individual polls (25 for 1st, etc.).

^ Man, I keep forgetting that. I don't care much for Lee WITHOUT taking that into consideration .......

I wonder if all of these count against the sellout streak, and if so, how many times player comps or high school coach tickets had to be bought up to cover. I wondered the same thing. At first I thought they would be included. But since those tickets are usually not "sold" anyway, perhaps they don't count?

Curious on this comment as it reads a little funny - is he talking about 3, 5 and 7 foot drops being better? I think it was a general "light years" ahead comment that Langs "dropped" on those listening.

I think so sadly, unless Brown will fill in or someone else? We have heard POB got the redshirt, wasn't happy, but seems to be coming round to taking it and moving on. That leaves Tre Bryant as the last one we don't know much about. Some 'experts' claim he's good enough to crack to rotation. It will be interesting to see what happens in fall camp. Yeah, I've seen Bryant's name thrown around quite a bit. I think he has talent but I don't think he's going to make much of a difference this year. It would be pretty shocking if he was higher than third and not likely to be higher than fourth. Last year our fourth-leading RB got nine carries (though that could change if we don't run the FB as much). Doesn't seem to be worth wasting a year, imo.

Unfortunately I'll probably have to change Lightbourn from a likely redshirt to likely playing now.....

Yes, it should have been a big advantage for us. It wasn't because they took advantage of the big plays. Which is what I've been saying all along. I'm not sure why that is so hard to grasp. It is entirely possible for one team to be more dominant but come out on the short end of things. We dominated the vast majority of the plays. But we didn't capitalize on that dominance. They took advantage of a few big plays and it made the difference in the game. We didn't just take time off the clock. We burned over a third of the quarter driving 75 yards for a touchdown. We marched it down the field and scored. Part of the reason they didn't have the ball much was because they scored quickly. I don't think they would have scored that quickly if Gerry was still in the game - again, part of my original argument. Another reason we didn't score is because we threw an interception on Iowa's 4 - again, part of my original argument. But none of that means we wen't "winning" on many more plays than we were losing. The problem is they only got a few "wins" but they were huge. We got a lot of little "wins" but that wasn't enough. Mavric, thanks for your reply. So about Gerry. Football is a team sport. No play depends on only one player to succeed or the fail. Both toucdowns scored by Iowa in the third quarter were running plays. That means that Iowa's runner had to first get by the line of scrimmage (our defensive line)... then he had to get by the second level (our linebackers) and thirdly he had to get by our third level (defensive backs and safeties). That means that multiple Iowa players had to beat multiple Nebraska players on those plays... not just one player... and that multiple Nebraska players had to make mistakes on those plays... not just one player. Nebraska loosing one player did not make our entire team helpless... but unfortunately it was our entire team that got beat on those plays. Why did that happen? We (Nebraska) simply were not well coached last year, which was unfortunate because we had lot's of talent on the field last year. Iowa on the other hand was very well coached. It's just that simple. With that said, HOPEFULLY that type of thing will get turned around this year and we will be better coached and we will be the ones winning those games. Thanks again for your reply. Always great to discuss football with you. All that is true. But I didn't say that losing Gerry made the whole team play worse. There were others who also didn't make those plays. But the final straw was we had a backup safety in the game (because of a questionable call on the most questioned rule in recent memory) who was unblocked but didn't fill his lane correctly. I believe that if we had our all-conference-caliber starter still in the game he would have been able to make those plays and hold them to a much shorter gain. And given how much their offense struggled the rest of the game, it's fairly likely that we could have kept them out of the end zone on those drives (though they may have still gotten a field goal on one of them).

Just noticed that Pernell Jefferson was given the same number as Alex Davis. Considering Davis is expected to at least get a shot at DE, that would seem like Jefferson would be expected to redshirt. Not that they can't change jersey numbers but they usually try to stay away from that.

did this happen I don't think so.
