  1. Considering the Huskers were 36th in the Coaches poll and 46th in the AP poll, chances are slim that they would move into the top 25 this week. I don't usually fall for conspiracy theories but.... considering the recent Husker love on behalf of Herbstreit and the fact the Huskers play on the ABC family on 27 Sep - my prediction is that they enter the top 25 the week of the VA Tech game.

  2. Fast rise for Coach Watson.

    TE coach to recruiting coordinator to offensive coordinator.

    I think Cally has a lot of confidence in Watson and I would not be surprised to see Watson play a larger role than Norvill did in the game day play calling. IMO

  3. Since none of these guys have won a game as the NU quarterback its hard to develop a list of things they need to improve on. Because the QB is the main position in the offense I'll say this about the NU offense in terms of improvements (or changes) I'd like to see:

    1. Stretch the field more. Sure the WC offense is based on a short, controlled passing game, but I'd like to see the offense to throw deep more often. Sure this is a function of speed at the WR position and arm strength of the QB.

    2. Include the TE more in the passing game. Of course this is dependent on having a quality player at the TE position (no shot at current players) and have a QB having confidence in the TE.

  4. From the article:

     

    "This was the one instance I've come in contact with that has all the elements I have talked about," Carroll said at a news conference on campus. "(Huizenga) has structured a program where the head coach has the entire say, from top to bottom.

     

    "It's a one-voice program. I don't think there are any other situations like that in the NFL."

     

    "This was the only time I've even thought about talking with anybody (from the NFL). Here's a situation where a guy would give a head coach the opportunity to do anything he wanted to do. He's an awesome guy."

     

     

    Wouldn't had just been simplier to say, "I've talked to the Miami Dolphins about their vacancy and I have no other comments." Instead Carroll goes on and on about what???

  5. I attended the Louisville/West Virgina game in Louisville this year. I talked to a lot of Louisville fans. They all loved Petrino, but they all knew they would see him go somewhere else (either College or NFL).

  6. He would lead us back to the National Title picture! He would be used in the same sentence with Devaney and Osborne after a few seasons. :woo

     

    The only way Devaney, Osborne, and Barnett's names would be used in the same sentence would be to answer this question: Name two great coaches and a crazy man.

  7. Gary Barnett as coach?

    Wouldn't be funny to watch his head explode by being around Husker red every day! I would like to see Gary Barnett's head explode!

     

    Or would he ban the wearing of red by all Nebraskans?

     

    Would every game become a "Red Letter Game"?

  8. I tried to avoid this thread, just like I used to try to avoid reading the "Voice from the Grandstand" in the OWH back in the old days. But just like then I'm drawn to it - almost like a car accident.

     

    I'm always amazed at the number of people who cry for the firing of a coach after losses (and sometimes wins). I wonder if their employer applies the same criteria on their job performance.

     

    The emotion of college football is a wonderful thing. But at times it gets carried away. And this is one of those times.

  9. My only guess is that throwing to the RB was big piece of the game plan.

     

    Either the coaching staff thought that Lucky was the better choice given this game plan or BJax wasn't reliable catching the ball because of his injury.

     

    Either way I agree - his TD run was very nice. We needed another one of those in the 2nd half.

  10. NU would not have made the strides its made over the last 2 years without Zach. The last two years with Joe Daley would have been murder.

     

    But I'm looking forward to what the future brings to NU at the QB position. If NU can upgrade at this position I think the B12 Championship is very doable next year.
