If I had to hazard a guess, I would bet Mr. Nice Guy was on the phone to somebody after the depth chart was released Sunday morning.

Hmmm...I think I see a really nice guy at 6:24 in this one.

The current protected crossover is Wisconsin-Michigan and Nebraska-tOSU. Convenient that that it just switched between the two.

Random Draw. RIIIIIIIGGGGHHHHT.

Russell Wilson, Jake Rudock. A couple off the top of my head for the Big 10.

That was a Big 12 rule that doesn't exist in the Big 10. Edit: I guess Big 10 changed rule in 2012 for intra-conference transfers. It is still only sitting out 1 year, but you lose a year of eligibility unless granted full release of your NLI.

Hopefully, things go well enough against teams like Akron, Troy, Illinois, etc. that they are able to get Gebbia a series late in the 2nd quarter and the bulk of the 4th quarter. With freshmen being your 1st and 2nd string QBs you really need to get both some experience when you are able.

How does someone like Watt work? Since he actually signed, does he count towards your total of 2018 signees?

Any above 25 have to be EEs and Nebraska would have to have had lower than 25 count towards last year's class per NCAA rules. Does anyone know the actual total that counted for 2018's class?

Point 1 - DiNardo said we can match up with any team in the West, including Wisconsin.

You don't need to speculate. Frost said himself that the they are pretty much tied and that they switch off days as far as who performs better. If it were today, they both deserve to start. I'm pretty sure that they hope someone separates himself this next week as far as out performing the other guy every day.

I hope they are "pushing" all of the QBs to improve on their weaknesses and their strengths. That would be coaching and development. I would hope they don't specifically pick one QB and only worry about him.

BTN.com and Charter channel guide has the first airing listed at 3:00 pm central on Sat. August 18, 2018.

Well, since they didn't push to get Vedral qualified for this season, you have to think that the coaches are pretty content with what we can put on the field at QB. I would probably say that we actually have a 1a and 1b (and possibly a 1c).

At ILB? We have 1 3 year starter returning, 1 JUCO that transferred in for the spring, and 2 underclassmen that haven't seen much game action and they are all learning a new system and only have a spring (15 practices) head start. I don't know of many situations at other colleges that could be much better than that.

The Brown recruitment really stings. I think tOSU is starting him out as a DB. I think he could have shown out as WR in the new Nebraska offense.

There is a difference over signing by 3 spots on your available scholarship limit and taking a shot on an academic risk while having two other recruits at the position (JUCO Bell and Miles Jones) and undersigning by 3+ spots and having your only recruit for the position (CB Blades) be an academic risk. Watts wasn't as bad of a situation because they had D. Thomas and Daniels in the class, so they weren't putting all of their DT eggs in one academic risk basket.

You can block or read any defender. Switching up the read man makes your offense less predictable. On that play, we have a man to block every player on the screen except that safety. So, you read him and run the play where he isn't.

Because Dixon is between him and the safety and is badly beating his man. That is why Verduzco says "I see what he saw", but Dixon wasn't any part of his read.

No to number 1. It is a read of the safety, not the OLB. They were not optioning any of the front 7 on that play. The read is that if the safety stays outside of the tackle, hand it off because we have numbers to the inside/right as there is a hat on a hat and an OLineman is releasing to block the middle LB. If the safety crashes in on the inside run, then the QB pulls it. Dixon caught Stoll off guard with a quick inside move. Dixon was playing super aggressive with the snap count and had two offsides penalties because of it.

It is a quandary. So, should this action of an 18/19 year old define him for the rest of his life? I am not being facetious with this either. But, if you strip someone of their opportunities this early in their life, what is left?

I have a feeling that the leash is short (as it should be) for anyone a part of the program. Team above all else. I think Coach Frost was at the front row to witness second chances, although it didn't work out for LP, but that is probably that there wasn't a TO in LP's life after he moved on from college.

For comparison

Look at the whole motion through the throw. Not similar at all. Weight distribution moving to front foot.

Straight shooter, that is for sure. Definitely like the critiques of players who may have seemed impressive and positive remarks for players that struggled a little. Don't let players' heads get too big and don't let others get too negative/down that it affects them permanently.
