Here are my grades for the huskers by position after watching the
first five games.
QB= B-
Taylor is getting better each week, more scoring would be nice
and he had a couple bad turnovers last week, but I think Nebraska
had like a dozen or more interceptions by this time last year.
RB= A-
This is my favorite backfield since Phillips and Green. Ross is great
and the freshman are becoming a bigger piece of the puzzle.
OL= C
Pass protection seems to be pretty good, to many penalties and they
couldn't pound it in until the Tech game.
TE= C+
Their penalties in the Pitt game almost killed the Big Red. They are
young and don't forget an all american TE is standing on the side lines.
WR= B-
Lots of guys are catching passes, which says something about Taylor as well,
they dropped to many key passes in the first few games.
DL= B+
Lots of sacks and I like the rotation of players. LeKevin, Go Down!
LB= A
McKeon is playing like a third team all americn and Bradley and Rudd have come
up with some big plays, Rudd seems out of place sometimes. Ickes and Dillard
seem like pretty good subs. Wish Steve O. was playing.
DB= C-
Green gave up to much ground in the ISU game. It worries me how short
Grixby is and I thought Bullocks would be more of a factor on D this year.
Bowman coming back is helping.
K&P= who cares they're just kickers.
