With the McWilson decommit, do we still let him start out at WR? We already have good depth there and need help at safety. And IMO he would make a great safety.
-
If we were hurting for depth at WR then I would say go for him, but considering we are loaded there we don't need him. And now we especially don't want him after his comments about us.

So 7 pm there would make it 9 pm here when we hear, right?
I thought he tweeted yesterday that he was doing it at 4pm, which would make it 7pm here. But I could easily be mistaken.

Per source: 4 Star Safety Marcus McWilson former Nebraska commit, will
commit to Kentucky, will be made public within next few days.

Ouch. Really seemed like a good prospect at a position of need. Maybe he committed to VM instead of Nebraska and is following him now. Hope it isn't true.
-
Any news on him as of late? Last I heard, Georgia may not be able to take him because he might not be able to enroll early.

333 now. Just curious, what is the highest anyone can remember?

Rex could have gone down as a top 5 running back in Nebraska history but injuries and lack of a championship team severely hurt that. We love you Rex and you'll be missed. Good luck in the league.
Finished today #5 all-time in rushing yardage at Nebraska. I think that, combined with everything else he has accomplished, is enough to call him top 5.
Just curious here but what is everyone's list for the best running backs in Nebraska history?
Mine goes:
1. Mike Rozier
2. Lawerence Phillips
3. Ahman Green
4. Rex Burkhead
5. Roger Craig

This is definitely not the reason why we lost but a big momentum shifter was Abdullah's fumble. We were up by 8 and driving, had it not been for the fumble I think we would have scored, thus making it a two possession game. Instead we fumbled, Georgia recovered and had a big passing play(one of many) and was able to tie it up. I am in no way saying this is the cause for the loss, this falls on the defense. Just thought this was crucial to Georgia's win because we were not the same team after the turnover.

Thanks for the memories. I saw he was listed as the 18th best back in the country, I can not believe there are 17 better backs ahead of him. He has great versatility.
The only explanation to this I think would be his history of injuries and doubts if he will be the same running back as before after his knee injury this year. Hopefully he silenced some of the doubters today.

They already tried switching Heard to CB. I'm sure he would be good but I'd rather not toy with him like that unless he is willing to do it. IMO, and a lot of you will probably call me crazy - Abdullah would be the best fit for CB. Heard is an up-and-comer at RB and may pass Ameer on the depth chart next year.
I agree. I'd definitely leave that type of decision up to Heard. But if I were him it's something to consider, injured groin or not.
That isn't really agreeing with HuskerShark's statement. He was saying Abdullah would be better fit for corner because he thinks Heard has more upside at running back. Which is a statement I agree with, at least the part about Heard having more upside. I think he would have proven this had he gotten more carries throughout the season.

Most of mine are for the defense.
1) Improve the speed/athleticism of the RE's.
2) Stonger DT's, depth.
3) Back 7 need to tackle better
4) Faster DB's
5) Take care of the ball offensively.
Don't know who, but we need some staff changes... cough * cotton * cough...
Also maybe some glasses for TMART
Double sided tape for Receivers
Set of balls for EVERY defender
Maybe find out who operated on Adrian Peterson and have him "fix" our speed issues... LOL
I agree. The D coordinator needs to be fired. As DL coach the DL was bad, and this D stinks. NU has the cash, a top DC should be hired.
Bo Pelini is our defensive coordinator, I can assure you he is the one making all decisions and play calls on the defensive side of the ball, JP just has the title of defensive coordinator.

What are our chances looking like with Mr. Clark? I know he is visiting 1/11, any chance he could commit on visit?

What does it take to recruit DTs? . . . . We need them badly.
We're still in this one, maybe not as strong favorites as we were, but we still have a chance.

If Nebraska can establish a good run game and Martinez gets loose for some yardage, then I see the Buskers scoring significant points. But they will also need a passing game to support a run game.
Same for Georgia. If Gurley and Marshall rack up some yardage then the Georgia passing game will score fast and often.
Nebraska has a good pass defense so Georgia will have to attack it carefully and avoid interceptions. The run defense is not so good.
Georgia gives up rushing yardage but can stop the run in the Red Zone, and the Georgia pass defense will give Martinez problems. They can play man coverage well, which frees up the LBs for pass runs and run stopping.
I think our game plan is to try and establish Burkhead early between the tackles, with the loss of Jenkins that should help. Then once the Georgia defense starts to creep up then try and get some play action passes and runs for Martinez. However, that's a lot easier said than done.
I think that plan will work just fine. The catch is going to be not having turnovers. The Huskers have fumbled left and right, and UGA is very good at creating turnovers. And with our defense, turnovers will equal a blowout humiliation.
Very true. I think if we can win the turnover battle and control time of possession then we will stand a chance.

Wow, this is pretty entertaining...
Anyway, I'm surprised no one mentioned how offenses have evolved since the 90s, which is partially why Taylor's numbers are so inflated, coupled with starting for four years. Did Tommie or Eric have the arm Taylor does? If they worked at it for 3 years, probably. I'd say if they both played in a spread offense you'd be looking at some big numbers from them also. It's a lot easier to have big passing plays than big running plays.
Do I think Taylor is bad? No, I do not. Do I think he is remotely close to being one of the best? Uh, no. Win %, CCG, National championships, hell, even bowl game wins decide that. I would even give him a pass since these teams don't quite stack up to the others, but he hasn't looked exactly like a world beater in 90% of our losses (fumbles, interceptions, poor decisions in general). It is just part of the legacy/tradition here at Nebraska. It is impossible to NOT put something in our trophy cases and be considered a "great" QB.
I've long said, and will continue to say - we will not win anything of significance with Taylor Martinez as our starting QB, and 3 years into the program, I continue to be right. It's not that I hate him or anything - his decisions, his inability to recognize certain coverages, his tendency to go 'hero' mode, coupled with his turnovers stack the odds against us. Personally, if Tommy Armstrong grasps this offense as well as he should (and is given some PT), I think that is when this offense will really take off.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Taylor is a top tier athlete but not a top tier quarterback and that is why we won't win anything significant with him at the helm.

Here is a short clip of Rodney Anderson. Keep in mind that this kid is only maybe 15
and hasn't finished his first week in high school and all of a sudden he is on the field playing for one of Texas greatest football programs.
Looks pretty good for a freshman. Has a lot of potential, we will have to keep tabs on him over the next couple years.

Art Briles.
Great offensive coach but what would we do with our DC? If Bo goes, JP likely does too.
Terry Joseph!
While I do love TJ, I don't like this new on the job training that we have done with JP and Beck. We are Nebraska and we should be able to hire proven and experienced coordinators, IMO.

This might be kind of a stretch but what about a guy like Andy Ried? Everyone knows he is probably out in Philly and who knows if he would get another HC offer in the NFL. We did a similar thing with Callahan and UCLA did the same thing with Mora. Not to mention, Andy would be great in recruiting and has proven to be successful with dual threat QB's(McNabb, Vick). Kind of a long shot but just throwing it out there.
I gave you a +1 bc I love the name you chose
Thanks, I enjoyed yours as well.

I think Taylor will have comparable power to Cross and could take over that big back role because he also has some decent speed. Cross would make a great FB or LB too, anywhere we can get him on the field.
