  1. 2nd what? TD ret or fumble?
  2. I wonder why the roster said Witt was a Redshirt Freshman for 2008 and Lee was a sophmore? Oh well i guess if both of them were redshirted last year as freshman then they will both be sophmores next year. It will be interesting to see how things turn out. Remember Bo knows Nebraska.
  3. i never really liked Ganz, he made alot of mental mistakes during alot of his games and it always seemed that it took him nearly a half to get in the groove of things are start settling in.
  4. I finally saw the video of Suh sacking the Clemson QB and throwing his butt to the ground, great sack Suh!
  5. Niles Paul stats for the year - 23 catches for 214 yds with a 9.3 yd avrg 41 kick returns for 469 yds with a 26.1 yd avrg and 1 TD ret. Keep in mind that was the only kick return for a TD this season! Wanna take away his scholarship for ONE fumbled punt return? i dont think so, this is guy is staying and i cant wait to see how well he does next year, those stats prove he is a valuable player for his first year at Nebraska.
  6. My money is on Witt. I think it will come down to Lee (Jr) or Witt (Soph). KODY Spano didnt see any playing time at all during the 2008 season. Only Witt and Lee did behind Ganz, not to mention Witt was labeled as the backup to Ganz, but who knows, there is alot of time until the next season so it will be interesting to see what happens in the battle for the starting QB position, i dont think Cody Green is going to be starter, if he isnt redshirted he might see some playing time in the earlier games when Witt or Lee or Spano runs up the score. Statistically Witt has seen more playing time than Lee has, Witt played in 5 games and was 6-8 for 48 yards with his longest pass 23 yds, Lee on the other hand has played 2 games 1-2 for 5 yds. As for Witt's little playing time during the bowl game, well i give him some slack, freshman QB going out there during a big game like that can be a bit intimidating for him, he is lucky it was ruled a sack but its a lesson that i think he wont forget.

  8. Yea, Grixby could have been better if he had a proper coaching staff to help me realize his true potential, does anyone know what happened to his little brother from Central, did he go to Nebraska or another college team?
  9. Man, i was still in middle school when Scott Frost was playing. Ha, that was back in the day when the only reason i was a Husker fan was because my grandpa didnt like them. But i guess after +10 years of that i've become an all out hardcore fan. I'll never forget his final game against Tennesse during the Orange Bowl. Speaking about the time Scott Frost played whatever happened to Bobby Newcombe "Big Red Rock".
  10. I was told that Bill Callahan never made it to his car the day he got fired, he was rumored to have been picked up by some Husker school alumni and taken to the middle of a cornfield and never heard of again. Some say on cold nights you can hear his ghost moaning "Why? Why? Why couldn't i meet the expectations of the Husker Nation?!"
  11. Truthfully there are a good deal of players in the NFL that played while under Bill Callahan. Adam Carriker, Jay Moore, Josh Bullocks, Bo Ruud, Zackary Bowman, Stewart Bradley, Steve Octavien, Carlos Polk, Scott Shanle, Maurice Purify. I might be missing a few more, but for the most part those are the big names i remember that stick out in my head, im pretty sure Callahan doesnt call them, but im sure Nebraska still calls them and ask them to stop by and speak to the new recruits coming in or wanting to join up. I wont say Callahan was bad at picking talent, because thats not true, he just didnt know how to get them to perform at their top levels, motivating them, and play-calling. You could definately tell what kind of team Callahan was running when Bo took them against Oklahoma and the team looked dead to the world. I didnt like how the Husker faces looked during the first quarter of that game, but i loved the job that Bo did getting in their faces to keep them from giving up. Callahan would have never done that, he would have sat on the sidelines along with them looking like he gave up with them. But enough talk about Callahan, thats in the past time to look forward to the Bo Era.
