That would be true if they listed just 1 WR spot but they list 3, and he's co #2 at one of them. The other two are outside spots with players all 6'1"+. He probably will only see the field inside at 5'9"-ish. He could be that 4th WR sure but it means more than you're alluding to IMO.

 

Regardless, I hope he does well and I’ll be keeping an eye on TCU.

He will be there second leading pass catcher this year, depth charts at those positions mean next to nothing

No, they will be fine

They play football during the flu season and the flu causes more fatalities than we appreciated. Both viruses pose a risk to a player's life that is so low.  The underlying health conditions listed above, the ones that would put a youth into the vulnerable category, sound like conditions that would already exclude him from college football. Furthermore the schools know their medical history and can exclude any vulnerable players. 

 

Simply put, the fear that more players will die from covid if there is a football season is not supported by logic and evidence.  The chance of serious physical injury from the virus is negligible compared to the dangerous game of football. 

Thanks doctor, pandemic solved. Close the thread

Purdue option makes the most sense imo. Like others have said, would be a rough start to the year to lose to them and Diaco.

 

But I also think the Minnesota game has a good chance to be the most important game of the year. I hope, and believe, we will have a very good year. 7-8 wins, maybe more if things go right. But there’s also a decent chance we are playing for bowl eligibility on the last game of the year, at home, against what will likely be a very tough Minnesota team. And even if we are already bowl eligible by that point, it’s also potentially a game where we could play spoiler to their division hopes (or maybe be even vice versa). Could be a very big game.

That would not be a good year, that would be a massive disappointment and unacceptable in year 3 with a 3 year starting quarterback.  If you can't past 7 to 8 wins with that then he is not doing his 5 million dollar a year job.

I hope they took it serious.  How many players actually stayed in Lincoln vs going home ? if u know. Guess we will know which players are serious about their sport and which ones arent based on conditioning etc. 

What does that have to do with ANYTHING? 

I'm hoping it's an announcement for huge game clocks in the end zone.  So he can't forget how many minutes are left on the clock in the 4th.

Why would Clester get roasted if NU beats Iowa this year?  Clester didn't make the decision to go to Iowa, his son did.  I fail to see what Clester did wrong here?

I read the post you quoted and it wasn't Knowledge mildly surprised

I highly doubt JD is coming back and I will also say that the team will be better off for it. 
 

That dunk by CJ there is pretty good. I’m not happy to hear what he has to say, but the truth stings and needs to be said. I don’t think his son said anything terrible, it’s a unique situation given the circumstances, but that is locker room material for when kids line up against him - this fall even - and when he’s at Iowa. 

Lol uh no

Before Bo came here, I wanted Paul Johnson who was at Navy at the time - or he may have just gotten to GT. But we needed the D fixed so Tom went wt Bo.  Bo's D was on the right track until it wasn't - we move to the Big 10 and Bo's D wasn't made for the Big 10.  If the Army, Navy, AF staff had the intelligence and the ability to make adjustments like Tom did, no problem.  But if they were like some of our more recent OC, no way would they last.  a @Husker in WI mentions above, you need the right QB to run it and today's QB want to see a ticket to the NFL.  The NFL does now finally value running QBs but they need to be able to throw.  I think a 'TOM LIKE" coach would have more passing in the today's offense than what we needed in the 90s

Bo wasn't given enough time to transition his defense, almost had it done by what players were drafted this year and previously along thre D Line.  Pelini recruiting the best players on the defense 5 years after he's gone.

Not with this sh!tty of a record....Cally inherited winning seasons and was 2 years removed from NU playing in the NC......Riley inherited 7 consecutive 9 win seasons.....NU hasn't had this many losing seasons since I have been alive.......

 

Riley was a joke hire to begin with.  He was now as I said then simply the anti-Bo.  He wasn't brought in to win.....Frost has a lot of improving and growing to do.  I have said that throughout his first 2 years here.......

 

Frost has 4 guys in the combine.  On the current roster?  Who knows......That's why we play the game.

 

So I am ASSuming you are for firing Frost?  What's your plan if you were HC?

 

And your last dig about XBox....Please..............

Frost didn't even recruit 3 of them, let's be clear he didn't elevate the Davis Twins. 

No I'm not for firing him, I'm for people to stop just assuming that he is going to win massive amounts of games with the current way he coaches.  It's the most annoying thing to read.  Up until this point he hasn't been a good in game coach.  Those are just facts

That's what is so amazing to me......After 3 losing seasons (Riley and Frost) he is still pulling in some great classes.  I can't help but think once we start winning that they can't do anything but get better.

 

Every coach has pulled in "amazing classes ".  That's all I have read about for years, the only pros that have been brought in were by the actual good football coach.  Once we start winning? When does that actually happen? That's a serious question, because getting great classes for the last 5 years hasn't turned into anything. 

Name 5 professionals on this team, seems hard doesn't it. 

Please tell me how I have to wait X more number of years until whatever dynasty you made on your last NCAA XBox game.

Not to beat a dead horse, but it wasn't just the passing on those routes.  It was the telegraphing, the inability to set it up and complete failure to execute. We just sucked in every component of that pass.....Blocking would be a great start.

 

If I was Frost/Lubick my first play against Purdue would be a fake screen and hit a delayed blocking TE opposite the play side going  deep for a one pass/one catch TD......I imagine the entire D would jump that screen  route....Not even covering the TE.....

How about actually taking a shot instead of looking like little b#%#%es all the time. I agree

I think people who are starting to dry up on Frost don't realize the amount of unlucky s#!t he's gone through and the fact that literally 9 of our losses under him have been by one possession. 9 with terrible roster depth. You flip those all to wins and he's bo pelini 2.0 with 8-9 wins a season but recruiting momentum 

So he struggles at winning games is what you are saying

If you think one player was single handedly costing the team wins last year,  I don't know what to tell you.  If you think Martinez will be benched after a single bad game to start the season in 2020, I also don't know what to tell you.  Neither of those things are true.

 

If he struggles multiple times in September, he will get benched,  but not after one game.

Didn't say anything about one game, except that yes quality quarterbacks do have bad games on occasion.   Unfortunately he had more bad games then good last year.  Yes he absolutely did cause us to lose games last year.  You don't need to tell me anything.  The guy gets more excuses then any quarterback that has played here, it's baffling actually.  He needs to play better or another option is needed, that's it.  It's time to get the training wheels off and put some pressure on. 

10 minutes ago, runningblind said:

I think it'll take a solid month of struggles before Martinez would be benched for more than a series.  Luke is going to have freshman struggles/ups/downs if forced to start as well.  Martinez returning to form is the best chance this team has at 8+ wins and Frost knows that. 

There is no reason for him to struggle, and if he does he needs to be held accountable.  We cannot have one player single handedly costing us wins.  The time for that is over, if he can't ger it done, you try someone else until you run out of options. Why? Because the result in itself would already be losing.  Losing worse or better at this point doesn't make sense.  Struggling with the amount of experience he has should be a one off type situation.  He needs to be better, and it needs to be from game 1.  End of story.

Not sure who will be the starting QB come fall, but if Frost picks AM to be starter and AM has the same type of season 6 games in as last year, then someone else better be given a shot to start the final 6 or 7 games or his judgement will start to come into question.  Neb can’t win this coming year without a big improvement in QB play.

Mcquitty is gone too which is whatever, If he didn’t see the field last yr he certainly wouldn’t of this yr.  I hope jd returns but only if he’s 100% committed and 100% ready to return.  JD is special but anyone not 100% in the program or the game of football is someone we need to prepare being without.

This is great twofold because it hurt Colorado fans but I think the way he went about this will probably hurt Michigan State as well. They’re reportedly hiring a couple Colorado ACs as well as their OC despite Tucker being given a bigger pool of money to hire coaches.

 

On top of that, they’ve kept a few ACs from Dantonio’s staff, which they previously said they weren’t going to do, and have struck out with a couple of targeted ACs from other programs. Can’t blame the man for taking the money but he went about the whole situation poorly and it looks like other coaches have taken notice. Not worried about Michigan State at all.

That doesn't sound familiar at all

Being a worse football team, doesn't exactly equate to being a worse program.  The most recent 5 years doesn't define a program.  Nebraska still recruits better than MSU, despite Nebraska being in its worst stretch of history, and MSU being in their best.

 

I agree Nebraska isn't the best place to be a head coach, possibly not even in the top 25..but MSU has a lower ceiling imo.  If you weigh only recent success as your indicator of a program than i could see your point  

A lower ceiling? They played in the playoff dude

You have to be able to throw third and short and run third and medium.  That doesnt mean we do it everytime....but we need to be able to. We are never going to have the talent to be predictable and win the games we want to win.  

Huh that's weird because the last time we won championships that's exactly what we were. 

Who the f cares, dudes a Snyder, that whole family can rot. KState sucks, that entire town sucks.  Good riddance to this stupid thing.
