Husker N StL

Thanks for the answers everyone.  Issue is that I don't have much experience with the Fox Sports app to confirm I can get it.  The Fox App keeps showing the local TV station logo for the game and the national broadcast is Fox 4k.  So.......issue solved.  YouTubeTV allows a 30 day free trial of the 4k upgrade (which I signed up for) and it appears to be available via the 4k premium subscription.  And....I'll cancel it tomorrow.  lol

GBR!!  Let's Get It On!

And looking at the Fox2 StL programming...it's going to be a "BTN in 30" game.  LOL  Fingers crossed on the Fox Sports app.  I downloaded it and logged in last night with my YouTubeTV credentials.  It's just hard for me to tell if they were going to have the game live from there or if it was a "link out" to the local Fox station.  

My local Fox affiliate (St. Louis) has decided they are going to run pre-season NFL instead of the Huskers v. Illini game on Saturday.

They moved the Huskers to their local CW affiliate which I don't get on any of the streaming providers I subscribe to (YouTubeTV/Hulu). Is there an option for me to get this game at home or am I going to the sports bar?  The Fox Sports app is now granting access to YouTubeTV subscribers but I can't tell if I'll be able to watch it on that app.

Ideas?  Anyone is StL want to have a few cool ones and watch the game somewhere?  Anybody know of an StL area Huskers watch site that is NOT in St. Louis county?

Wow

 

 I guess it is the Calibraska kids Or maybe the Caliegon Crew?  

Or, Calgon.

Likely an audit started from a complaint filed by faculty at WSU upset about athletic spending. People with no relationship business/development knowledge. Seen it before first hand. 

However...yes, there are tax implications for accounting for the "benefits."  Minor though.  Ticky tack.  

The IMG stuff?  No clue.

I saw Milton run a fair amount of option plays which wouldn’t factor into a rushing attempt for him but he’d still be a runner. 

This is a VERY valid point (as long as he pitches/gives to RB).  However, the bottom line is the same.  Make defenses have to account for the QB run, even if he doesn't actually keep the ball very often. It still takes at least one defender away from defending the RB/slot or makes a LB or safety commit to the QB rather than sitting in coverage or attacking the handoff.

There are a number of reasons spread guys fail.  Decision making, accuracy, and arm strength are the ones that are on the top of my mind right now.

 

Here is the list for career passing completion % leaders in NCAA history.

 

https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/leaders/pass-cmp-pct-player-career.html

 

From that list, I didn't think Johnny Manziel was especially accurate.  Brandon Weeden wasn't very accurate once he was asked to make tight window throws in the NFL.  Brett Hundley is at 67.45%, and I don't think of him as an accurate passer.  I think Baker Mayfield benefits from Lincoln Riley's system to get guys WIDE OPEN, more than the accuracy of his throws.  I would say the same for McKenzie Milton at UCF.

 

 

 

I agree that the system and what a QB is being asked to do gives context to the metrics. 

IMO statistics need context to discern meaning. And that's not just in sports. (said the guy in marketing)  lol

Well the time has come.   It's time to go home from work.  If these really are your last few days and you don't make it to Monday, goodbye dear thread.  I will miss you.  You got me through the longest week of my message board life.  You are the 1990s Nebraska Football of all threads. I hope you live forever, but I know that decision is in the hands of the men upstairs.  May you live in the memory of HB forever.

Thought it was appropriate for me to tag on to this post for obvious geographic reasons (STL). I'll not have time to check-in or post tomorrow so...

One last hug. One last kiss. One last megathread keystroke. 

Scott Frost will be the next great Husker coach.

Farewell to thee most awesome of threads.

I would rather have Walters than Chinander, but it is what it is.  I was speculating last night that Moos was in Scottsdale to bring their OC/WR coach in as OC.

Interesting.....   From the link:

"Billy Napier, who spent the past five seasons as the wide receivers coach at the University of Alabama and is widely respected in the coaching profession as one of the most talented recruiters in college football...."

So according to the 247 Article - Frost will be bringing:

DC: Chinander

OL: Austin

QA: Ruud

RB: Held

QB: Verduzco

S&C: Duvall

If this is accurate, do you/we think that the OC could be a "big" name or since SF tends to call his own plays we would hire more of a position coach?

This is pretty good.

Wow if this is true, it's not just the fans making UT look bad. This would be the equivalent of TO interfering in past hires/searches which obviously I can't imagine.

Following being let go, Currie was immediately offered the Head Coaching position...and he turned them down too. 

The  ** Scott Frost megathread all things SF***  might just be the GOAT.  It has everything including ups, downs, anger, elation, lies, truths, trolls and heroes. It's on topic. It boasts bans and begging. I need to stop refreshing the page but my fingers won't stop. I am anxious for the official announcement of SF as head coach to actually come because with that will come the locking of this thread. When that happens a little piece of all of us will die. I can't wait but, maybe I secretly hope it never comes.   JK
