    in Husker Football

    Posted

    Is it just me or is our 3rd down Defense killing us.. It seems like we hold every one good on 1,2cnd down and give up a big play or 1st on 3rd down.. I dont know if its the play calling or what but it needs to improve....

    Coming from a former running back i hated not getting all the carries in a game... I just wanted to touch the ball as much as possible.. I think its just the mentality a running back has to have.. I started every game but hated to have to come out for rest or any thing... So i am sure it will blow over and its not much for us to worry about!!

    I dont care if we have blazing speed in the back feild but we do need to recruit blazing speed at the wideout and secondary spots... If we are gonna compete asgainst the Usc's Florida teams and majority of the power house teams we have to be able to run with them not just over them... Hell ill beat this into the ground Rose Bowl Miami Andre Johnson remember that? We didnt have a guy on

    Defense that could cover him or their 5th wideout on the team.. Speed kills and is a huge threat we you also have it on offense..

    There is no dout about it that speed kills and we need alot more of it for the team to really Take off.. Thats just my 2cents.. Look at Ohio state when they were down for a little bit what did they do to get back up.. Went to florida and got alot faster.

    Oh trust me i have no dout in my mind that we cant or should win this game.. I do agree with the speed factor.. I know this isnt the same team but look how much faster Miami was then we were in the Rose Bowl and it hurt BAD.. Nut i do think we can and should win..

    Come on guys this is one bad to the bone rushing attack.. No where did the Roster of USC running back produce what Bush or White did... I see no reason why our D should have a little fun against them... The only thing i am worried about is our Offense.. If it plays good it will be a fun night..

    I like it!!! If he doesnt think he can beat them then why should he even line up and play the game.. When i went into games i alwys had the mindset that we were going to win and nothing less.... It shouldnt be any other way.. Hell most of the people on the board isnt ven giveing them a chance..

    Ohio State/Texas predictions

    Their Qb is a redshirt freshman...

     

    I was honestly surprised by the defenses. I figured that with their losses, OSU would have trouble stopping Texas, and I figured Texas would have more defensive sucsess.

     

     

    If Vince young was there they would have done more to their D-Fense..

     

     

    Texas is way overated in my book.. I mean look last year and the year before look at the games Texas won because of V.Y. You take him away and they would have lost a few and the Biggest game they won last year..

    Beck's whereabouts unknown; Bowman out for yearAssociated Press

     

     

    LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska backup quarterback Harrison Beck was a no-show at practice for the second straight day Sunday, and the Cornhuskers suffered a blow on the injury front with the news that starting cornerback Zackary Bowman is out for the season with a knee injury.

     

     

    "We felt at the time that it happened that it was just a sprained knee. We were disappointed to hear that it could possibly be a ligament, but then, of course, the MRI this morning proved that it was positive and that he will be out for the season."

    -- Nebraska coach Bill Callahan on Zackary Bowman's injury

    Coach Bill Callahan said after Sunday's practice in half pads that he had not spoken with Beck since before the sophomore from Clearwater, Fla., skipped Saturday afternoon's workout. Beck's whereabouts weren't known, but his parents said he has contacted them to tell them he's safe.

     

    Bowman, who started the last five games in 2005, tore his anterior cruciate ligament Saturday during a one-on-one drill. Callahan said Bowman came down on his leg wrong while defending a corner route. He had a magnetic resonance imaging test Sunday.

     

    "We felt at the time that it happened that it was just a sprained knee," Callahan said. "We were disappointed to hear that it could possibly be a ligament, but then, of course, the MRI this morning proved that it was positive and that he will be out for the season."

     

    Bowman, a senior from Anchorage, Alaska, transferred from New Mexico Military Institute last year. He made 27 tackles and a team-leading 14 pass breakups and was second on the team with two interceptions.

     

    "Just visiting with him he feels that he's going to come back for another year, which is tremendous," Callahan said. "He does have a redshirt, so that's great."

     

    Defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove said he would call on junior-college transfer Andre Jones to step in for Bowman.

     

    Cosgrove said he already has confidence in Jones' abilities in the little he's seen from him through four practices.

     

    "He gets better every day," Cosgrove said. "He's a tremendous athlete, and I'm just anxious to watch him progress as camp goes on."

     

    On the Beck front, Callahan said he spoke with Beck's stepfather, Dave Bothwell, but nothing was resolved.

     

    Beck's mother, Evelyn Beck-Bothwell, told Nebraska media outlets that her son was disappointed with the amount of practice repetitions he received the first two days of preseason camp.

     

    Callahan declined to comment on Beck-Bothwell's comments and said his conversation with the stepfather would remain private.

     

    "Other than that, Harrison is OK from what I understand, and I'm anxious to see him return, if he comes back," Callahan said. "I'd like to visit with him a little bit, and I look forward to that. I'm hopeful that he makes a decision to come back."

     

    Callahan declined to comment on what Beck's status would be with the team if he were to return.

     

    "We look at everything on a case-by-case basis," Callahan said. "That's up to Harrison. It's Harrison's choice and decision and his desire in terms of what he wants to do with his career."
