The Dude

I wouldn't go so far as to say Ganz SUCKED running the ball. Ganz had the wheels to keep teams honest, but would admittedly never be the center of an option based running attack. Back when he was recruited, he was seen as a "passer that could run" as opposed to Taylor who is a "runner who can (kind of) pass." Zac Taylor, on the other hand, was someone who I would say sucked running the ball. Ganz was not a fast guy at all, but when given the chance he ran like his ass was on fire.

If Dennard is close to 100%, he makes Toon a non-factor. Period.

Nebraska has won 9 out of the last 10 true road games.

Which Texas Tech fiasco? It's sad that we have to be more specific about "the time we were embarrassed by TT." Exactly. If we beat Wisconsin, I could really see the Ohio State game being a replay of the '09 Texas Tech fiasco. We came away from Missouri on cloud 9 without a care in the world. Tech brought us back to earth in a hurry.

He's holding back for conference play.

Taylor's comment gives me the impression that Bo is really playing the underdog card this week in practice. Which is a good, nay, great thing. Bo's teams seem to show up in that roll.

I think we'll see NC State Russell Wilson as opposed to beating up on glorified high school teams Russell Wilson. Which honestly isn't a bad Russell Wilson, but certainly nowhere close to a Heisman hopeful Russell Wilson.

Which Texas Tech fiasco?

Only if Taylor gives a dramatic speech at the end with that American flag draped over his shoulders. I knew they were carrying that flag for a reason..

This would have been a good time to think before posting. Too soon?

That's not a bold statement. This is a bold statement.

I hope Beck comes up with some interesting ways to get Turner, Bell, and any of the Freshman RBs the ball in space.

We'll most likely go 3-and-out on our first possession. It's tradition.

It hasn't been "3 yards and a cloud of dust" since the 90s. The reason for that is; Big Ten teams realized what a retarded strategy that is.

NU - 44 UW - 38 Air -- 208 Ground -- 257

I'm sure you're the only one.

Boom! Right here. Sign me up. Holy snipes man. I'm in......I eat taco all the time. She really seems to enjoy it too so I think I would be a great member of the team. You got some taco sauce on your lip brah.

Are we really going to make any progress in these discussions if we keep throwing out strawmen arguments? He's not a great passer by any means, but is just saying he can't throw period anywhere close to accurate? No, no it's not.

Jesus, imagine if he wasn't our most dangerous offensive weapon.

That's true. I don't think anyone expected them to be as good as last year's secondary. But it's not unreasonable to expect the defense to reload to some extent. Many people have compared this defense to the '08 defense, which is pretty spot on by my estimation. The thing that's unsettling about that is; those guys were a young, unexperienced secondary just like we have now. Without the huge advantage of learning and practicing in the system for a few years. The '08 guys were learning it on the fly. We shouldn't be playing at that level. We should be reloading instead of rebuilding.

The misconception that the Big Ten has a bunch of significantly faster secondary players than Fresno and Warshington is teh lulz.

you are retarded. name the source? why? so he can get reprimanded for letting info out that was probably not for public knowledge yet? RIGHT! I'm definitely gunna name my source. Idiots. I'd never be told a thing again if I gave you my source. I, for one, would be saddened if you were unable to receive the thrill of obtaining and spreading made up, yet alluring horsepucky.

Happy birthday!!

Nebraska has a puncher's chance at winning. The offense is going to have to win a shootout against one of the best offenses in the nation to do it. The defense has been embarrassing up to this point. I'm all for a drastic defensive turnaround in 6 short days.
