But when your total offense is 99th in the nation your first priority should be to develop a "real" running game. Sure, we can run the ball on the SunBelt teams, but.... We ran the ball pretty well on OU and VT also. But when your best 2 RB's are injured, and you have no threat of a passing game, the D can easily load the box and win the battle up front.

McNeill and Reed will be used in a hybrid TE/Slot WR position similar to how Missouri used Martin Rucker and Chase Coffman. Also, Ryan Hill is going to be more of an h-back/Fullback than TE.

"How extensively is Nebraska’s offensive approach evolving, even as we speak, especially at the quarterback position? Well, Husker quarterbacks this spring will practice without green “hands-off” jerseys most, if not all, of the time, NU offensive coordinator Shawn Watson said Tuesday, noting a significant departure from recent springs." http://www.huskerextra.com/articles/2010/02/17/football/doc4b7b45358b898382611147.txt

"If they were to go the multi-cover route again some of the most likely names to be tossed around would include Ndamukong Suh, Sam Bradford, Jimmy Clausen, Eric Berry, and CJ Spiller. That makes the specific mention of EA Sports by one of the players especially interesting." http://www.pastapadre.com/2010/02/14/suh-could-be-on-one-ncaa-11-cover

Get off my lawn!!! amirite?

Here's what none of you are seeing. This won't be absorbed by the companies (EA, ESPN, ABC, FSN, CBS). Who do you think will pay for these increased expenses? Yep, us. Games will turn PPV, or we'll have twice as many commercials to pay for costs. It's the beginning of a giant snowball and the kids will see like $50, if that......

Pelini noted Henery's Blackshirt was a little big for the 175-pound kicker. "Yeah, we had to tie it up. We went with the triple-extra small. It was still a little big on him," Pelini joked. LOL.... http://my.journalstar.com/post/Husker_Extr...blackshirt.html

Sam's just the retarded face of a stupid lawsuit. The lawyer had this thing already written up and approached him about it. That said, if this somehow affects EA (which I doubt it will) you can kiss watching games on TV goodbye. If they're gonna go after a video game company regarding an alleged digital likeness, why not go after ESPN, CBS, ABC, FSN for raking in billions on broadcasting real images of these kids? If they win that, we will no longer watch games on TV without paying enormous amounts of money. Didn't think about that, did you?

Not if a large part of the band isn't even in Lincoln.......

It's on ESPN nationally.

I got your point, and I do agree the defense looks good. Unfortunately Bo paid too much attention to the D and not enough to the offense. That we can both agree on. However, we do have a lot of youth, and inexperience right now. We'll see what happens!

Yeah, but you could also say our defense looks really good because teams don't need to take chances down the field and therefore, aren't getting the big time plays. That argument works both ways. You missed my point. I was referring to you saying the D wasn't elite because of turnovers. I simply pointed out a possibility. As for the defense looking good, it's quite obvious that it is. Teams aren't getting long sustained drives, and like my evidence showed, they aren't scoring a bunch on us either.

Please enlighten us poor serfs then... There's no reason to try risky things when you can be pretty sure the other guy isn't going to do anything. Perfect example, ISU. They didn't take any chances after they get the lead, because it was quite obvious we were stepping all over ourselves. No reason the throw a risky pass when you can play conservative and let the other guy strangle himself.

I never said they had to score all the points. All I was getting at was that game changing plays/turnovers is what is keeping this defense from being of the elite status. Any elite defense gets turnovers and makes plays when they need to be made. That's true, but you also have to figure, teams aren't really taking chances against us. They know our O is weak, and by hanging around, they have a good chance to get a TO from our offensive ineptitude. If our O was better, teams would have to take more chances and shots downfield to keep close, thus enabling our guys a better chance at turnovers. Plus, we've dropped a retarded amount of interceptions.

We've held our last 7 opponents to 280 yds of offense or less.... That's pretty damn good. The only team to get over 300 was FAU in game 1.

Looking back at some of the stats, our defense has held every offense to their lowest (or tied) points scored this season except ISU (3 vs IA) and Mizzou (7 vs Texas). Obviously, Texas' defense is legit good, and ISU we can chalk up to an absurd amount of turnovers. Still, the marked improvement is amazing. Last year, we didn't do this to a single team.

Allen, Suh, Crick, Turner, Dillard, Compton, Fisher?, Dennard, Amukamara, Gomes, Hagg, Asante, O'hanlon.

All base starters, plus the dimebacks, Hagg and Gomes. 13 in all.

All rumored players were at practice today. However, the unity council meets on fridays, so we'll see what happens.

The site's getting raped, so I put them up on flickr.
