looks like he's playing safety quite a bit in his hudl highlights. big, tall kid that kind of glides around out there. probably gonna look a lot like lamar jackson, hopefully more physical.

absolutely. they are going to complete plenty of passes. have to make tackles in space and make them work for it.

Their offense is going to put up a bunch of yards just concede that. The key will be getting red zones stops occasionally. Purdue did a very good job of that. Obviously the husker offense will have to put up points and not turn the ball over. I think the 11am start usually benefits the underdog so I'm hoping OSU comes out a little slow.

bo pelini effect i say. refs are human. they view nebraska very poorly after years of abuse from crazy bo.

the key to the huskers staying in the game with osu with be to do exactly what purdue did - get stops on 3rd down. they got little pressue on haskins and he threw for almost 500 they just didn't score TDs when they got close.

again, they're not necessarily backups, but i named some in my previous post. if you'd rather leave 3 DTs and gifford in there i guess we'll just have to disagree.

i'm not talking about backups i'm talking about swapping out DTs for edge players.

As I mentioned, you would obviously have to re-adjust. But putting your base d in and sitting back in coverage obviously doesn't work either. Putting guys who should be theoretically better pass rushers out there just makes more sense than leaving guys who we know aren't out there. That logic might not hold against balanced offenses, but NW really had very little interest in running the ball, especially once behind.

i dont know about the whole drive but the play they scored the last TD on, he had tyrin ferguson and gifford rushing outside with dedrick young in the middle. they had at least 3 safeties in (neal, dismuke, and aaron williams). neal blitzed but started too far back too matter. not sure who was covering on the left side, the play went to the right.

yes, he simply doesn't have the footspeed or change of direction to play man to man on a regular basis. that just isnt his game.

i would start by taking out my base d-line on obvious passing downs (pretty much the whole 2nd half vs NW) and come up with an actual nickel/dime set. leave stille and maybe freedom out there and put them on the guards. the rest would be a combo of gifford, tannor, davis, barry, or whoever to give you some (in theory) more athletic guys that can rush the passer. That at least give you a better chance with only bringing 4-5 guys. yes, they may adjust and start to run the ball but that is kind of the point to force them to re-adjust. this diaco like nonsense of leaving the base d-line in the whole time is idiotic.

aaron williams can't play nickel corner and be stuck in m2m coverage most of the time. he can't do it. he might be a decent safety but he is not nor has he ever been a man coverage guy. much rather see cam taylor get a shot there. go back and watch the 1st TD nagel scored if you don't believe me.

there is no conspiracy and no bias against frost however i do think there are some officials that may dislike nebraska because of the pelini antics that were allowed to go on for 7 years or however long he was here

what if.....you are on a lot of drugs

games are won and lost on the lines. i have no problem with this.

weinmaster, colin miller, and mo need to be the ILB's going forward. dedrick should not play.

this team is still paying for bo pelini in more ways than one

that was another non existent penalty....this team is bad but pelini is no longer the coach the bs penalties need to stop

this may be the beginnings of a team that is starting to compete....the losers are being discarded

dedrick young is absolutely terrible and shouldnt be playing on the jv squad

why the fck are you giving their WRs any cushion? they are trash

that was not a facemask bad call

my boy will get his butt kicked if he tries that nonsense

mazour without question

this can't be real
