You know, I watched essentially the quick play through of the UCLA offense and they don't seem as fast as I remember from last year. I originally thought their offense would be cramming it down our throats but I am beginning to change my tune. I think our young defense has a shot to take advantage over their young offensive line.

Something else to note - I don't think Hundley has a very nice deep ball, but he has a hell of an arm for quick passes on a rope. We need to keep an eye out for quick 5 yard routes. Hopefully we can bump those receivers and keep him contained.

After watching I think the speed of our secondary should be able to match the speed of their offense. I think i'm going to call for a 10 point Nebraska win.

O/U Randy Gregory 2 sacks

Push

O/U Husker fans wearing black: 40,000

Ill take UCLA 49-35

I have a man crush on Jim Mora. I think he's a great coach with some serious integrity. I was really happy once you guys tossed Slick Rick, and have been a fan every since we lost Foster and Owa to you guys a few years back. Here's to a great outing on Saturday!

Just because I haven't seen it specified in here yet...

The purpose of the tape is so that the players can see his fingers easier on sideline play calls and adjustments. Maybe they are just getting better with the calls where they don't need it. Who knows, who cares?

Well Anthony Alford transferred to Ole Miss, which was arguably their biggest playmaker last year. Not sure on their big playmakers this year.

Newby could be our future.

More like he is our present. He's right there with Ameer.

Terrible defensive scheme all night with no adjustments.

We need to know what we are suppose to do before we try to do it at 300% pace.

Speaking of killing time.. A&M is losing to Rice after the first quarter...

Well watching ESPN is boring right now so let's start off the over/under thread for week 1 against Wyoming.

 

Number of times the announcers say the word "Freshmen" today referring to Nebraska?

 

Over/Under: 12

started this a week ago

Say waaaah? How did I miss this? Mods... delete away! My bad.

EDIT: Didn't see this thread up already, MODS please delete.

I'm a little shocked nobody commented on the fact that I found said prayer from a song on the other side of the world .

Yeah where the hell did you find that? Probably the most obscure Husker reference I have ever seen.

Get me on the field... I'm ready damnit.

Two defensive touchdowns so far tonight for Sparty, their offense looks.... not great. Their D is definitely bailing them out tonight.

"If anyone is listening, the battles..."(agnostic): and finally, "Note to self, the battles...." (atheist)...

Agnostic Atheist here and the prayer doesn't bother me at all. To me the reference to a deity is the least important part of the prayer. It's about playing as a team with integrity.

I hope this kid plays it safe and just sticks to playing baseball or taking a coaching role while at the university. Seeing that interview scares the crap out of me.

I see him as a Terrence Nunn or a Maurice Purify.

I have never seen Burtch play, so I don't have a comparison. Burtch could be a speed guy, so the comparison could be Kenny Bell.

 

I love how when people have see a white WR, they automatically compare him to another white WR. I bet Burtch is a "great route-runner, nice possession guy, he will make the tough catches across the middle, and is also like a coach on on the field". Am I missing any other ways that announcers talk about white WR's?

He's scrappy

Walksalone, your posts have been spot freaking on.

PaulCrewe called this one and called him the next Davison I believe.

I see him as more of a Nate Swift.

I'm thinking Grant Mulkey without all the weed.

The Saints cut Eric Martin today. Didn't think it needed its own thread.

Probably hit somebody too hard on kickoff practice.

Today, Jamal Turner said the 4th primary receiver was most likely Sam Burtch. Many might now know who Sam is, but Jamal said he was one of the best blocking wide receivers on the team.

A little from Sam's bio:

• Walk on from Murdock Nebraska (Elmwood-Murdock High School)
  
• No recorded scholarships offered as a recuit in 2010
  
• 2012 Academic All-Big Ten
  
• Nebraska Scholar Athlete Honor Roll
  
• Played in 4 games last year
  
• Sophomore (Redshirted in 2011)
  

I'm excited to see more young guys, especially walk ones hit the field. Keep an eye out for Sam on Saturday!

I was going to say that I saw him kicking for Dallas, so good for him.... then I saw he got cut.

He's a good dude, hopefully he finds a home somewhere.
