  1. He did. I happened to see him when I was walking around. Not hard to spot a big young kid with hair like that. He had a visor on backwards and upside down, kid's got style! Are you sure? I don't think I saw any pictures of him with all the other visitors.
  2. Pretty interesting article. I'll have to look for the rest of the series. Link
  3. Crouch's completion percentage would not have been a fit for Mike Riley's system. The most passing attempts Crouch ever had was 189 attempts in 2001. He completed 55%. Sean Mannion had 453 passing attempts in 2014, completing 62%. So obviously, this is a reasonable comparison and a conversation TOTALLY worth having...............derp. Not sure what the "derp" vocabulary is all about........but anyway..... The Mannion/Crouch "comparison" illustrates my point exactly. I don't believe Mike Riley's offensive philosophy is an effective blueprint in the college game. What is this blueprint? How will this blueprint be applied at Nebraska? If the spring game showed me anything, it was that I don't know exactly what to expect as an offensive philosophy. Seemed like a little bit of everything. So please, answer the above questions and enlighten me a bit on what exactly this offensive blueprint is that I should be expecting to watch fail in the upcoming seasons. The blueprint at Nebraska is closer to 189 pass attempts than 453. Tom Osborne gave Mike Riley the direct advice that it's important to run the football. Mike Riley has more of an NFL blueprint. Riley has put a few quarterbacks in the NFL and Nebraska has not......yet Riley's college football trophy case is empty. You think we are going to throw the ball over 400 times a year?!?! Bahahahaha Well, we threw it 359 times this year and I don't think three more attempts per game is at all out of the question so, yes, I think we'll throw it 400 times this year. It won't even shock me if we push 500.

  5. I'm pretty sure Cross is #1. Based on two things...his pass catching ability and his ability to pick up blitzes. Newby said in an interview that Cross is the best at that and the others are playing catchup to him. That alone makes me think Cross is the most complete back. There is a reason why Cross was working with the Red team all spring but ended up on the White team for the Spring Game. And it isn't because he's the #1 guy. And I'm not sure where you're getting the certainty about his pass-catching ability. He's caught four passes in three years, gaining a whopping 13 yards. Newby has caught 11 passes in two years, gaining 46 yards.
  6. It was good to actually see some of the other guys. I don't think my personal preference is the same as what the coaches see right now so here's what I think the coaches have right now: Armstrong - Still getting the benefit of the doubt but they are looking hard for someone take the job (which could be TA as well) Bush - Didn't look good in the Spring Game but has the arm and the build to be the guy. Darlington - Really coming on strong the last couple weeks. Lacks the arm strength of the first two but his accuracy and decision making are better. Closing fast. Those three are the three the coaches have been looking for to trim their list - and, thus, who'll get the reps when fall camp starts. Stanton - will be shocked if he doesn't transfer Fyfe - might want to stick it out but would think he'd at least look for a chance at a smaller school
  7. One of just a few guys who got to spend one-on-one time with Riley this weekend. Banker and Hughes will be in Wichita on Thursday as the dead period ends Wednesday.

  9. Going to talk things over with his family over the next week. If he takes another visit it will be Kansas State. Decision coming soon after that.
  10. Benning said during the game that he'd go Newby-Taylor-Wilbon-Cross. I'd agree. A little surprised there isn't more arguing for Cross given the discussions over the last couple years.
  11. Apparently we're still looking for a JUCO LB for this year.
