I'm not sure which side of the argument I agree with, but just looking at negative plays and blaming the o line leaves a lot of the truth untold. When you run an offense with lots of option plays, the blame can lie in a few places.

Take Fresno St 2011- 3 carries went for 141 yards 47 ypc. 32 rushes went for 78 yards just over 2 ypc. Was this a bad game for the o line where a superior athlete overcame them three times to make long runs? Maybe, but Taylor made several poor reads that game.

Like everything else in football several people contribute to the negative plays you posted.

There is an article on rivals in which he is quoted to saying they told him he'd be the only RB taken if he committed

 

 

If this is the prototypical guy they want for RB in Riley's offense, I think we are all going to have to adjust our eyes from expecting an elusive, scatback/all purpose back with top-end speed to a NFL type, run between the tackles, catching balls out of the backfield, and pass blocking.

I could live with that.

Tom, if he's in a different mold from the other RB offers Riley has made, do you think maybe they'll take another in this class? Or unlikely, given the position?

I read on another site that he wanted Nebraska to commit to him being the RB taken in the class, but that could just be a myth so take it for what it's worth

Pulled these from the Ozigbo thread. I'm not saying don't recruit him, but I'm never a fan of assuring a kid one thing(if they did) and then not holding your end of that after he's signed.

How in the hell is Maryland not #1?

 

 

Proud to say that the two states that represent me made the worst 5(MN=46/NE=50)

 

SUCK IT OVER ACHIEVERS!

Beat you, my states are ranked 49 MT and 50 NE

My mom has worked in Ord since I was a little kid. We lived in a neighboring smaller town. It's a nice place, the only real complaint I had was how the kids from there treated the kids from the surrounding area when we'd come to town on Friday of Saturday night.

He looks like the drummer from Whiplash.

It's better for everyone if he moves on.

 

Serious question, is his first name pronounced 'key-shawn' or 'kway-shawn' ?

He decided to transfer after spring ball. Had nice freshman season, got moved to slot receiver last year and was moved back to RB this spring, I believe.

Swift over Purify because of longevity?

 

Nate was the second receiver at his position behind Maurice both years that he was here. Not saying I disagree with it just curious as to the rationale.

 

Yeah, I agree. With these lists it's always hard to ignore volume stats, but as good as Swift was I'd have to put Mo ahead. And coaches did at the time.

 

Same with Todd Peterson. He had a nice career, but surely he isn't Top 6? Wilson Thomas? Terrance Nunn? I can't remember a lot of the names now. I guess the talent level at the position has really come on only in the last several years, and current players are ineligible.

Just got my Phil Steele preview in the mail. Some things of note. 1) He's usually pretty high on us and has us second in the west behind Wisconsin 2) Nebraska is not represented on the B1G regional cover 3) On the conference overview page he puts us second, however for the team overview we're fourth behind Northwestern and Iowa. I think it's just a printing error but thought it was interesting anyway. 4) We didn't score higher than fourth in the conference in any of his unit rankings and coaching he put us 11th. 5) He ranks Antonio Reed below the LS Ober and three of our walk ons in his recruit rankings

The Dutch fielded a weaker side (they have a Euro qualifier on the 12 that they have to win, because they are currently third in their qualifying group) and the U.S. were missing several first teamers as well. Our defense was terrible the Netherlands defense was worse. It's hard to take anything away from this game except that we rallied which is a great sign, and that we have players with pace (Yedlin, Morris, Johnson) that can cause match up problems for the elite teams in the world. I almost shut it off after we gave up those two quick goals, but I'm glad I didn't. We really need to find some back up center backs though.

Tobias just big blue himself.

We better recruit Lloyd Christmas, just for equality's sake.

 

 

It shouldn't be -- they still have to accept the commitment. There were a couple examples under Bo of players who tried to commit, only to find out they couldn't (oops). It's a weird system, but the constraints are practical. Every school puts out more offers than they could take on at any given moment, and it should be understood.

Interesting. I didn't know that. Who were they?

Gosh, I don't know how I'd dig up the name now -- I can't remember which cycle. I want to say there was a linebacker from out west (not Bodtmann). He announced his commitment but then had to walk it back, and didn't end up coming here. I remember at the time thinking that wasn't the only one.It's not Bo's fault or anything, every once in a while you just get a guy who doesn't really understand the situation and jumps the gun.

Isn't this situation what happened with Dylan Admire? He was an OL from Kansas about five years ago.

The local station when I was a kid was a country station out of Ord, KNLV. So all we listened to was country music. I hated most of it, but I did like this song.

When I saw the title of the thread I read it as you saying he was a great former Husker. So, when I saw it was Nick Pavendo I thought, 'his opinion of great is very generous.'

Then I read it again and understood you were being facetious.

The chairman of the Football Federation of Australia falls off the stage at the trophy ceremony after the A League final. The captain of the winners Melbourne Victory just stares at him instead of seeing if he's ok.

What about those tweets would make you jump to the conclusion he's upset about a commit that hasn't even signed yet?

It could be about anything. You may be right, I'm just asking because that's not where my thoughts went when I saw them.

You are making me feel worse! Not better!

*these are PAC12 rankings of course.

i hope Banker plays with some discipline........i worry about this guy.

Well we've already seen over-thinking and undisciplined defense. Let's try some play fast read and react defense. If it's also undisciplined it still might be more affective than the last few years.

I was looking at the coaching page at huskers.comand noticed that it listed Shann Schillinger as a graduate manager. I went to school at the University of Montana, and while I was there they had a player with that name. He later was drafted by the Falcons.

My question is, is this the same guy? It's not a common name, and it appears that Shann isn't in the NFL any more.

Also what is a graduate manager? A glorified water boy or equipment manager?

I'm not sure this warrants a new thread but I was hoping someone closer to Lincoln might have some insight.

Yea, I don't see it as a knock on Brown. Normally every position Brown touched improved. As mentioned, Brown benefited both AA and Rex. I take this as meaning, Brown may have been a jack of all trades ( I think he's coached WR, TE also) but the new coach is a specialist for RBs and it shows a life of work experience dealing wt RBs only.

I agree with your point, but just for clarification, Coach Davis coached tight ends and o-line more recently than running backs.

Is this one of those offers we have zero chance ?

We'd only have zero chance if we didn't offer.

I naturally get more attached to guys that really want to go to Nebraska, so I hope we offer him again. This will be a big class and I think there is room to take an extra RB/WR athlete. He may not fit the exact mold physically, but he can move. Let's get him N.
