I do realize that a 4-8 NU team lost to all 4 yes, 3 on the road, 2 by walk off field goals. We get three of the 4 in Lincoln in 2019. NW lost a 4 year starting qb. Iowa loses both starting D ends and an all everything safety, plus two all conference TEs. Wisconsin slipped on D, then lost their top LBs and will probably start a freshman at QB. Purdue also lost their longtime QB. Minny might be the actual most improved team. Year two should be a positive step for the defense simply from experience. Nose tackle is much better off this year than last, and I think LB is too. CB is the same, safety is a question but no one in the west slings it around a ton. They also played from behind all year last year. If this offense gets early some leads instead, that changes the outlook for the defense in that game. Combine all that with another offseason of learning for Martinez and things set up very well for Nebraska in the west.

The defense needs to be top 40 to win the B1G with this offense. The defense simply needs to be better than last year for NU to win the division. You vastly overstate the competition in the west. Wisconsin took a big step back on defense, Iowa and NW are who they are, very beatable even for a poor NU team last year. Everyone talks about "we can't stop the run! They'll hold the ball for 45 minutes!". Sure that is possible but very unlikely. What happens when Wisconsin is down by 13 and forced to take shots? Not every possesion will be 15 plays, 75 yards and 10 minutes. Yes we need to stop the run better, but we don't have to be Alabama to beat the west teams, that's ridiculous. The best coaches always make leaps in year 2, Frost already did it once. I'm not saying 12-0, but 10-2 and winning the west is right there for this team.

I feel good about the passing game because its year 2 for QB, JD becomes Stan, Wandale becomes JD and we have a bunch of talent to step up. O line being more experienced, Martinez making a jump will be the biggest factors.

Arm length. Some have it significantly easier when it comes to bench.

You would use officials for that yes. I would definitely check out any school within driving distance on unofficials, it doesn't make sense to not to. This is a big decision.

Why do you say that? They have been far outperforming Nebraska for 5 years running. They are about to have two first round pass catchers in the draft, one from Omaha. Yes they are TEs but still. I would be at least checking things out.

St. Louis in-roads would be big, but I want to see NU lock down Kansas City as well. This kid is #3 on my list behind Turner and Nash for 2020.

I always told people my first car could go 0-60...maybe.

From 20-60, then discovered it was bad for you, quit and still made 93.

He has one good leg!

Glad to hear you beat it! My father died in his late 50s of lymphoma he got from agent orange dumped on soldiers in the jungle in Vietnam. My grandmother in law smoked for 40 years and lived to be 93. Cancer is unpredictable with who it hits and you never know what will happen, but not chewing for decades is a good start if he wants to be around for his kiddo and wife long term. (And coaching the Huskers for 25 years!)

If he is hired, I will be boycotting calling him "Coach Kool". That is maybe the worst nickname I have heard and sounds like he gave it to himself in an attempt to endear himself to 18 year olds.

I think he will get a big bump by signing day. However, I am not worried about recruiting skill positions on offense, Frost will be able to get those kids all the time as this offense will perform. The big fish lineman are critical to long term success, those would be big blows.

I was saying Mills and the freshman because I expect him to be let go. If he's here he plays yes, agreed.

If he stays on the team, big question mark now, and adds 30 pounds sure, he could run between the tackles. Is he as fast then? Go back and look and tape from last year and tell me he didn't shy away from contact. Might be a weight thing, but more likely it's an attitude thing. What specific take are you referring to being exposed in the coming years?

It says right in the article he paid with PayPal. So unless he added a stolen card to his PayPal, which wouldn't have anything to do with the app itself, I am not following any of this. I don't think the person writing that knows how technology works.

You don't have to cooperate with anything until charges are filed, which was today. You have the right to remain silent, and not indict yourself. It is a smart practice to not talk with police, you know, anything you say can, and will, be used AGAINST you in a court of law. I feel like we have been recruiting very upstanding kids. It doesn't seem like this was known and he hadn't shown other behavior like this to my knowledge. Let's see how they respond.

You feel like an arrest warrant being issued doesn't at least mean a suspension pending investigation? https://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/football/arrest-warrant-filed-for-maurice-washington-husker-will-be-allowed/article_0759f465-1d4d-528b-a1d7-5c07659b6d6f.html It'll be Mills if he makes it, and the freshman. Mo was never a run between the tackles guy anyway. Dude runs straight out of bounds.

1. Robinson (Offense) 2. Hannah 3. Farmer 4. Henrich 5. Robinson (Defense) 6. Pola-Gates Sleepers: Newsome and Graham I believe this class will be looked back on for the difference it made on defense. Yes a lot of this years kids will put up huge offensive numbers but that is expected now with Frost. A jump in production on defense will be more impressive, and more important to the team's success.

You don't even know how to spell his initials, so how bout you come back down here.
