  1. Signed with Oklahoma State in December after two years at Jones CC. Upped his stock quite a bit, he had quite a few offers from Power 5 schools and ended up as a top 30 JUCO prospect.
  2. Write-up about top performers at the All America practice yesterday mentioned his height at being just a shade over 6’3” when he was measured. That isn’t the 6’5” that I thought he was. Feels like the Turner Corcoran 6’6” listed and 6’4” reality we had in 2020
  3. This kid is just North of Council Bluffs, must have in the 500 mile radius, as most of the kids currently ranked for the class of 24' out of Iowa have already committed to Iowa
  4.

  5. Interesting read, I didnt realize he had been playing in the middle as much. So what do we do with him? Does he bulk up and become a true interior lineman, slim down and move to linebacker. Or does he kind of stabilize where he is at and become a true defensive end. I like this kid a lot, we just seem to have a lot tweeners who could fit all over in a 3-3-5
  6. These two twins lack traditional linebacker size/frames. But a strong selling point for us could be the use of a 3-3-5, lots of opportunity to see the field early with 6 potential landing spots for their size of bodies LB/S/NICK. Might not have the ball skills yet for that safety spot but definitely fit that tweener position of S/LB. With the potential to be true linebackers in a year or two if they add some size. Very similar builds and similar track speed to Eric Fields. They would be nice additions to the back eight of the 3-3-5.
  7. In a 3-3-5 this kid has rover or spur written all over him
  8. It means he was on an official visit this weekend at the very least
  9. Can someone help me out? Has Benharts dad been talking? I knew Hutmachers dad was bothersome, hadn’t heard about Benhart’s.
  10. Is that the same Nixon whose son just transferred last year?
  11. Can anyone explain what happened to Garcia-Castaneda? 4 catches for 120 yards and a TD against NW. Then 1 catch for zero yards since.
  12. Is fisher that bad? Or was he forced into a bad scheme?
  13. I take my earlier statement back slightly- it was piper at LG. Still think the effort was there, maybe a bad assignment, maybe a great read.
  14. I might catch some flak for this but, Corcoran held up his draw assignment- sell pass- by blocking the 2/3technique in the A gap. Then he ran to the unblocked guy he saw. Was it wrong? Maybe? Did he put effort in on the play, absolutely. it is also possible the OLB for OK, read the play and made a strong play? I am not fighting the OLINE needs to be better feeling. But this play isn’t the one we should be pointing at.
  15. I'm not sure this is worth reading into- but Chinander is off to the side and not the voice in any of what looked like defensive coaching.
  16. This is been posted two separate places, it doesn’t need its own thread
  17. Campbell originally didn't move the needle for me either. The only real defense I have of him, for the 1-6 vs Iowa record, is that this is probably the best 10 year stretch Iowa has ever had. I know we want to be better than Iowa and I despise them as much as the next fan. They have won at a consistently high level since 2013. Almost as good and as consistently as Pelini did with Nebraska, Iowa had more bounce (12 win season/ 7 win season) but less blowouts. Point being- Iowa was no slouch- This isn't Michigan beating Ohio State- this was much more like Oregon State beating Oregon.
  18. They have fair caught all punts. Georgia Southern- punted 1 time North Dakota- 5 (or 6) times- espn stats unclear Northwestern- 6 times
  19. Are you saying that the Huskers have not forced a punt this season? That is simply not true.
