This. it helps put the big picture in a quick and easy format for those that want too know. Hope you update this regularly as we go on, i really appreciate it.

Bob Devany ripped the refs and his players apart publicly on the sidelines. But he also had too rings too back it up. It doesn't bother me when bo does it though, some kids need a good boot in the rear.

lol what?

Welcome too the board. I like you already. This is a good post and a lot of what you say is very true. I think we can do really well in years were we are winning 10 plus games a season and sign a top 10 class out of the blue, but most years i think are going too be like you said.

you are right there. We haven't had this issue in sometime and it tells us the talent at the i back spot is getting deeper each year. I thought he should have red shirted, but with Burkhead having knee issues i am happy we didn't, he filled the power/change of pace back nicely last Saturday

I'll disagree with you in the spirit of good debate. 2 gap for the 09 huskers worked due too the SUH factor, Crick, Allen, and CO often only had one blocker too deal with due too double even triple teams on Suh. The scheme in theory is fine, but it is over complicated for our current defensive line. If a guy wants results, he has too adjust his scheme too his personnel and keep it stupid simple so that mistakes are few, if you don't you get Bill Callahanesque results, only difference is that idiot did it on the offensive side of the ball. In a situation like this you have too adjust too your strengths and Pelini right now is being stubborn about it. He likes this scheme, but his kids are struggling too execute it consistently. Even in 2010 and 2011 you could see that despite Cricks talents, he could not do what SUH did, he needed help, and no else on the team was able too step up, and thus people began having success running on us which coincidentally set up the pass game, and before long NU is giving up 30+ points against good teams with decent O-lines. You said above "Mcbride claims you need a very strong man to control 2 gaps? I disagree. How strong must a tackle be to get into his guys numbers?". It isn't about getting into his numbers as we saw with Suh who ran it too perfection, he often kept linemen at an arms length, too preserve his mobility. He kept his head up too identify the play, and reacted, often filling the correct gap and stuffing the play. He was also athletic enough too cover his mistakes when he made them, which weren't very often. Too many husker defenders stayed engaged when they should have filled a gap, or gotten off a block too make a tackle. If you aren't strong enough too shed the blocker and stop the guy running right by you than it's hard too run this scheme. If you aren't strong enough too keep a 6-5 300 pd + lineman from sealing you off from a certain gap, you can't play this scheme. And our kids have at times struggled in this department often when confronted by only one lineman. Your theory is further injured in the post Suh world by Nebraska's sudden failings against Running QB's with decent teams supporting them, AKA not Minnesota. I don't need too remind people here how badly Wisconsin Obliterated the 2 gap scheme in last years game. Even a Struggling Ohio state with a Frosh QB had some success running. the 09 D stifled running QB's through Suh's ridiculous quickness, if he didn't make the play he often by that time had taken so many blackers with him someone else did. This year and last years team tries too contain, but the gaps between defenders as we saw versus Wisconsin and other teams were too big for our talent, too often we see Meredith arriving at the gap the back is going through a second too late. I think this is a good defense, when you have the guys, you are correct there. But right now NU can't run it. I think we should put it on the shelf and bring it back out when it is appropriate as per the talent. right now too preserve what could be still yet a special season we need too simplify the scheme, make it execution oriented much like Mike leach did with the red raiders offense years ago. It was simple, and therefore hard too make mistakes. The other boon too this change is that it could get promising you talents we hear about on the field, who otherwise have been benched due too lack of experience. In one change your DT/DE rotation could become significantly deeper, and catch a 2 gap expectant Big 10 off guard. But im just a rambling old fool i guess lol. And welcome too the board.

I think LSU nearly is. they were talking on ESPN about a DB LSU nearly has locked up that they claim too be the next 'honey badger'. I think you are right, we have an opportunity here. but who knows.

I thought he decommitted from FSU? doesnt mean he won't resign with them, but still. You don't decommit for the heck of it. I just hope we are in the mix and have a solid shot at the kid.

Omaha news sources are claiming Rome is back...........and has been for some time now. Pelini claims he has practiced all week. and not a single reporter spotted him. Link http://www.omaha.com...ractice-with-nu I happy he is back, hopefully we don't have an issue like this again from him.

I agree! My favorite Nebraska uniforms of all time were the ones we wore back in 2001. g YES! we should return too wearing these again.

hey i'll help ya out. I studied broadcasting and did play by play so if you want a solid football conversation hit me up. send the number i should call too my inbox.

whats the word on this kid? Rivals claims we are still in the mix. is that true? Hope we are still in it, i can only imagine how good this kid could get with Bo's guidance.

You're exactly right. the yards were worse than 2007. But the effort and fight never left the kids. It was just fundamentals that killed us. fixable stuff on all accounts. And you're right again, we should have been running the ball too keep the defense off the field so that they could rest and Bo could inform them of the adjustments he wanted too make. This is a similar problem we had in 2007. But we can't be too angry at Beck, he came from kansas were they had a hard time on D, if the offense didn't score enough points they lost big. So it makes some sense why he did what he did. I just don't like that he did it.

i did play by play for awhile as a career. And from my experiences i can say with out a doubt there are very few Announcers ESPN has i even listen too. i usually listen too the games with the sound muted beings the Announcing gets so bad. It makes me miss Keith Jackson more than i probably should.

You hit it on the head. 11 AM games are a terrible idea. i know it works better for TV. But it hurts attendance at the games.

its awesome how far Martinez has come in his time here. He may not be as good as Eric Crouch. But i cant think of a harder working and more deserving player too break his records Than Taylor. Dude is a great Nebraska QB.

I think your right ont he money, but not the normal stress. i hope he is just sick, but if the media stress has gotten too him. And he is now having an urban Meyer esque problem, i will never forgive our overzealous media. They take it too far too often, and if this is a result of that than they need too back off.

Hey all big NCAA 13 fanatic and huskers football history buff. I am slowly creating and editing the best and or better husker teams in my free time. For my first beta try so too speak i present the 2001 Nebraska Cornhuskers. This current roster version is similar too an older NCAA 10 2001 Nebraska roster too give me a start. I intend, hopefuly with your help, too edit and update this roster until we the husker community are happy. This roster features the modern Nebraska Jersey's, and just for fun, the 2002 Nebraska jerseys. i intend too make changes in this department, especially if the 2002 jersey's are really unpopular. with out further ado, here is the link! Please enjoy and please give feed back! http://www.easports.com/teambuilder#/school/2251525527:1346484005

i miss the jersey's, weird i know, but i still come too like the ones we have now.

Hey all had an older profile here but the email go hacked so i started up a new profile. Just two throw in two cents here. Why the **** are players leaving for personal reasons? this is the second player this season. i cant remember the last time this has happened here. i hope this is a sign of Bo ramping up the practices and weeding out those who don't have the heart required too be a black shirt. Because after last Saturday and now this i have too say i am beginning too wonder. I havent lost faith in Bo, but still this isn't what we need soon too be 3 games deep in this young season. Thats all from me, its good too be back!
