  1. Bell Westerkamp and Burtch. You're welcome. I found these guys. chuckleshuffle

     

    lol Burch really. Westerkamp will lead the team in receiving this year Bell right behind him.

    Not sure exactly what about Burch you don't like, he had a solid year last year and could easily be the best person to replace Enunwa. Especially his blocking, he also made some really nice, tough grabs. I think his next 2 years will fun to watch.

    Burtch has a lot of Swift/Peterson in him. Not that blazing athlete that'll make sportscenters top 10, but man, the guy is reliable and plays his role.

    And with all of our receivers hype, this is what we have been missing IMO. We need a receiver to be "that guy" who is a sure handed go to guy when we need a pass completed. Blazing speed is great, but I also like the guys who can read the coverage and sit on his route, make the first down catch in traffic and keep the chains moving. I hope he and Westerkamp can fill/excel in this role as well as the two you mentioned above. Throwbacks to guys like Steve Largent or Jay Novacek. Not blazers, but ran great routes with hands like glue.

     

    Great receivers make an average QB look incredible. I hope that the two above as well as KB, Carter and Jamal really step up and improve that aspect (catching) of their game. It would easily make the difference in 1-2 wins next year IMO. And like the fumbles, has shown itself at the worst times.

     

    No kidding.

     

    From Burtch's Huskers.com page: "On the track, Burtch won 11 total medals in three seasons with the track team. He won the Class C 800 meters at the 2010 and 2011 Nebraska state track meets and was a three-time silver medalist in the 400 meters. Burtch also posted first-, second- and third-place finishes as a member of Elmwood-Murdock's 1,600- and 3,200-meter relay teams. Burtch also added to his medal total in the 200 meters."

     

    It's not like he's a lumbering lineman out there. Dude can run, no matter what color his skin is. ;)

    Can I also throw in the "coach on the field" cliché?

  2. Based on Nebraska's unkown's and Michigan St's losses talent-wise, Northwestern just has to be considered a legitimate threat to win the Legends.

     

    No. Their crossover schedule will keep them out of it.

    Crossover schedule would only be taken into account if a tiebreak is needed.

  3. Quiet. I never heard the stadium so quiet in my life then it was yesterday. The only time the fans were alive were at the 1st qtr, when Minn was on 3rd down or us going for a TD. Other then that, absolute silence.

     

    I also never seen it that empty during the 4th qtr. It was half empty. Didn't mind it when I driving out of the parking lot, but I am shocked that it was like that. And if people blame it on the cold, it wasn't that bad.

    And way too many 60 seconds time outs. Also I'm disappointed with Huskers cheerleaders......no acrobat stunts? Why?

    The cheerleaders haven't been allowed to do acrobatic stunts since like 2006 or something like that. Too many injuries. We are a "grounded" state.
