Arizona State has a football team?

I expect Riley to exceed peoples expectations and have a good first year. I think we have a favorable schedule this year so if he wins lots of games now it will help him in the future when we play those tough teams in the coming years. I still believe though that Riley will be able to beat the powerhouses in the B1G and be competitive in those big games. I am willing to be patient for now because he has not played one game yet, I don't have a timetable for him as he needs some time to get his guys to get us to greatness. My prediction is after the Riley tenure Nebraska will be respected like it used to be again.

Bummer to see him not get drafted, but hopefully he can make some noise in the D-league and maybe get called up to an NBA team. Feel bad for Knicks fans if that European big man doesn't work. Stephen A Smith was going off about it on ESPN on Sportscenter afterward and he was on vacation.

nbadraft.net has him going at number 41 to Brooklyn, so he would be second round pick with no guaranteed contract.

Yes! Welcome to Nebraska Jack.

Yeah I looked at the pocket passer QBs on ESPN and number 13-20 all have a four star 80 overall rating. None of them made the ESPN 300 so POB and the rest didn't make it probably because most of the pocket QBs have the same rating. Also, if they gave one of those players an ESPN 300 all of them would have to get one I guess according to ESPNs rankings.

Some kid that transfered from a small school in Minnesota to Allen, Texas. Not sure he will even start for his team this year. ESPN has him as the same rating as Terry Wilson, but has the Oregon kid at tenth out of Dual-Threat QBs and TW is 11th. In my book the difference between 10th and 11th is nothing and Terry Wilson could be better then the Oregon kid.

Did you get this from a source or speculation? Just curious cause it would be huge if MP was N.

I think he will make us great again but most importantly we will be competitive against good teams and be able to beat them with few blowouts to superior teams.

Does anyone else think that making a New Years six bowl helps with recruiting too not necessarily winning the championship?

USA beat Germany 2-1, Wood has two game winners and that kid looks good. This German team was good and had a few injuries but so did the USA. It was not the German C or D team either so good overall win for the USA against the number one team in the world.

I think Tommy is better than stave and he is the best in the west. Staves best year was last year(2013) where he threw for 2494 yards but had Jared Abbrederis make up about 40 percent of his total yards. This may or may not be a good comparison since Stave sat the first five game, he threw for 1350 yards, but tommy threw more yards(2695) and threw 53.3 percent on the season. Stave threw 53.4 but had less games so he could have done better or worse. Tommy has a better receiving core and will most likely throw the ball more than Stave and Wisconsin and so I say Tommy will be better and is better based on stats with potential for 2015 as a factor as well.

I thought the BTN guys made a fair analyses, but I hope Tommy hits those easy passes like it was said above. Mike and co know what they want to do with him, so hopefully we see improvement in all aspects of his game.

Lots of the recent posts on this thread are off topic. I came to read about Patrick today and nothing new on him at all. Some of these recent posts would do well in a new thread.

Dang it, Arizona State beat us on this one.

Shaq posted this video on his blog, good to see Shaq taking notice of Demornay. I can't wait to watch this kid light it up in the fall.

1. Tommy Frazier vs Florida Defense 2. Matt Davison's catch vs Mizzou 3. Ameer Abdullah scoring vs McNesse State honorable mention: stuntz to crouch Johnny Rodgers score vs OU Schlessinger's TD run vs Miami

Great post I agree 100 percent. Lets see how good this Wisconsin team really is when they have to throw in close game situations. They may improve in the passing game next year but they won't get drastically better.

Yes they have a great running back coming back on offense, but who else? They don't have a stud receiver to throw to and lets see what happens if Joel Stave has to throw a lot in this game. We have more weapons on offense, but I agree they have a solid defense but offensively who do they have besides an O-Line and Clement? We will have to wait and see what happens but I would say we have a good chance to win this game. Home opener for conference games and we will have a lot to play for this game. Our team is going to play hard and nasty wearing our away jerseys at home since we lost to Wisconsin in Madison we wear our away jerseys. They will be playing for another chance to get to Indy, but they may not come out so sharp as they have in the past. I think we have a great chance to win this game, but to make a prediction or anything I will first have to see how we play earlier in the season.

Ryne Reeves might make it if he stays healthy but even if he does he would probably be a late round pick. Jamal turner to the Canadian league probably. Everyone else has already been mentioned above.

Chad Ford had a quote of the first 5 on 5 team and lets just say he was playing good competition, but not great competition. Includes: Brandon Ashley, JP Tokoto, Aaron White, Ryan Boatright who he played against, he had Dez Wells, Terry Rozier and Qiunn Cook on his team Petteway tied for second on his team in points and played the second least minutes on his team.

This is a good post and it seems we are recruiting quarterbacks that can do this. I think the staff will start Tommy because they haven't had a dual threat before, but they will need to develop him to throw on the move instead of tuck and run in panic situations. We will see how they develop him, these younger quarterbacks and the ones to come, but yes it would be great to have the qb be pass first. I trust Riley and his staff to put the best qb on the field and be able to recruit great qbs to Nebraska that can pass first and have the ability to scramble for first downs as well as escape from pressure.

Do we know what disciplinary actions Riley did on Jariah Tolbert or the CB? I assume he will suspend them because they are still on the team.

Ok thanks for the info, I didn't know givens was on the team until last year so when I saw him as a senior I assumed he was older.

Maybe he skipped high school and went straight to college lol. How is he a senior and 20 years old, unless its a typo?
