Thanks for looking it up Mav. The 2011 class was the one I thought might have a chance.

I thought of the same people along with the possibility of Brown.

Yup, it’s just as beautiful as I imagined

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but is this the first class where we have a legitimate chance of bringing in 10+ 4 stars?

That [Nebraska Commit] is gonna look so good next to his name

IMO if a recruit’s main priority is to be around attractive girls then they aren’t gonna be anywhere near my first choice. Football and making the NFL should be the main focus. But that’s just my honest opinion.

I will say I’ve noticed that it does seem like we play a multiple defense. I see a LOT of 3-3-5 or 4-2-5 but it always starts out looking like a plain 3-4. I think what hurts us a ton is not having above average athleticism or playmaking from the hybrid DE/OLB role. Alex Davis just doesn’t cut it and it doesn’t seem like Tannor is getting much play time. But to address the bold, I 100% agree I’d way rather play an aggressive 4-3 which can switch to a 4-2-5 against a spread offense than a 3-4.

I definitely agree. That had a huge impact on the rest of the game IMO. It seemed like a lot of the time when the zone read worked for them it was because our DE/OLB wasn’t holding contain and was just set on getting to the RB which allowed for an easy read for NW’s QB.

I was happy to see Chinander make some in-game adjustments. The main one I noticed started near the end of the third quarter I think when we started pressing NW’s receivers across the line, stopping the easy slants and crossing routes while forcing their QB to make much more difficult throws. Something small but it gives me hope since we haven’t seen simple adjustments like that in Lincoln for a long time.

Chris Bober. Not a former Husker but he played at UNO and spent 8 years in the NFL.

I saw a former player on twitter point out that he thinks a big problem with Jurgens is his technique. If that actually is the problem, it should be an easy fix right?

Correction. I went and rewatched the interview and he did say “ I’m a better power blocker than I am a speed rusher” makes a little more sense than saying “and”

Idk, maybe he misspoke? That’s the only other explanation I can think of. Either way it doesn’t make sense as there’s no way to refer to an o-lineman as a speed rusher. Also I do agree that he seems slow and un-athletic. Correct me if I’m wrong but he was brought in as an OG right? That would sort of explain his struggles at OT.

Nebraska 45 Northwestern 17 Rushing 276 passing 314

I think he means that he’s more built for the inside and run blocking against DTs rather than being on the outside in pass-pro against an athletic “speed rusher” like Chase Young. That’s how I took it but I could be wrong.

I think it was Bell, but I could be wrong. Just all around too conservative. And I get it was a walk-on at QB but the way Frost and co. made it sound was the drop off from Martinez wouldn’t be that big.

One of the main things that confused me was the play calling after the muffed punt. We ran on 1st and 2nd down and then made Bunch try to make an across the field fade throw. I just didn’t understand it. Throughout the game we just struggled to grab any momentum.

I've never understood the "throw it deep to someone" play at the end of the game. With .6 seconds left I'd rather take my chances with a full court shot than Tai out jumping 2 guys and getting the shot off.

What if he does know something though? Do we completely discount everything he says because it's his job to sell subscriptions?Obviously only speaking for myself, but I don't "completely discount" everything he says but I do take it with a grain of salt. Just a personal opinion, I prefer quality reporting over quantity reporting.I take his and other recruiting guys opinions into account. But like you said, i tend to take them with a grain of salt. I think we have a chance with Darnay b/c he is still including us. But im not gonna sit here and say we have a 95% chance of landing him or not landing him. We have a chance is all i would be willing to predict. Hmmm that 95% chance sounds familiar 🤔

Bold move Cotton.

Just saw he's fully qualified and expecting an offer
