Isnt Banks visiting there this weekend also? Would they be able to land 2 APBs in the same class?

Remember that score ?

 

better yet, what was his stat line ?

The final score of the game is pretty irrelevant. 

He had 19 carries for 140 yds and 2 tds. Nothing special you are right. Not that that matters either. Do i need to post plays from Washington, Oklahoma st, or Kansas st because we won those games and he put up numbers?

Negative 

Seriously dude

I'm not sure how much we can correlate this to on the field success, but damn he sounded more mature than any recruit I have heard.  Really well spoken and didn't seem nervous to be on the radio at all. 

If I were a parent I would have very strong reservations about letting my kid play for Petrino. He must have some kind of magic though because he still recruits at a high level even with all the stuff attached to him.

I want to just say that I love your screen name, @PasstheDamnBallGuy. Well done.

Haha thanks!! I thought it was appropriate with the new staff.

Tommie Armstrong

Haven't had a game changer at QB for a long time..... giddy up 

 

The kind of QB you're talking about is rare anywhere.  If it was so easy, Alabama would have a stockpile. 

 

I mostly wanted to respond because Tommy Armstrong earned more respect than that, though.  He did a lot, relative to what he could do with the hand he was dealt at NU, as evidenced by the excerpt below from Huskers.com.  I feel like TA could have been a Heisman contender in a better program.  As it was, the first two MR seasons could have been a lot worse.  I've seen it argued that TA was the wild card that made Riley's offense viable during that stretch (because other coaches had already figured it out).

Agreed with TA being a game changer. I also don't know how you call Taylor Martinez anything but that.  Unless the argument was that he was a while ago.

See, I think it is the OC's that don't have the patience or ability but clearly against Diaco they realized they could just gash them with the run...it took NW the entire game to figure that out but the other teams that beat the hell out of NU realized it pretty quick.

 

I have called plays before as an OC and HC...it is hard and so easy to ruin a drive.

It also helped a lot that our offense was inept for at least half of every game. Lets put up some points on these teams  early and see if they still are content to run the ball when they are down by a couple scores or more. 

Denton Guyer sounds really familiar. Is that where that QB/TE from Sweden went that never made it to campus?

Not to mention Stanley setting the school record for receiving yards.

In 11 freakin' games!! Would have easily had 1k if we made a bowl. 

I guess we are gonna be pretty thin in the secondary. Bring in whoever you can get and don't worry about the position. One of them could at least play the Nickel.

Spielman was perhaps the lone bright spot during Nebraska’s otherwise dismal season, setting up the freshman as a future star in the Big Ten.

I mean I kinda get why they would say that, but we had several players that I thought showed a hell of a lot of potential this year. Stille and Deontre Thomas at the very least looked like studs already and were both freshman. 

The way Shaquem plays reminds me a lot of the tape from Willie Hampton. Looking forward to seeing him develop in this system.

Absolutely LOVE watching McGriff attack jump balls.

I dont want to knock any of or WR, but this is a big thing we have been missing here for a while. I am excited!!

Someone show this kid Darnold's draft stock before and after this season in that offense. 

Time for us to start winning more of those 50/50 balls. 

So if Cam commits do we take a 3rd safety in this class?

Grad transfer candidate or what?

Wait that guy graduated from college??

Certainly possible. We get hope from the fact that the last guy we hired was some guy who no one was excited about and couldn't even design his own offense. 

This to me is one reason i dont feel too bad about taking Frost. There were probably 10x or more Nebraska fans than UCF fans that wanted to hire Frost here for the past 3 years. He has done well now so yall feel bad about him leaving but he was our guy and we have been rooting for him for 20+ years. If he sucked yall would have rode him outta town without a second thought. 

It may take a little while bit I bet in a few year we will look back and see that Miss St got an upgrade. Moorhead is a really smart guy and and innovator. Just look at the PSU offense before he took it over to what it was the past 2 seasons in a defense heavy league. 

I feel like if Riley had come in here and took us to an undefeated season in 2 years and then left for like the NFL and took his whole staff I would have been pretty damn stoked. The new staff at any school usually doesn't keep more than 1 or 2 coaches anyway. I mean Frost didn't retain any of them from our previous staff correct? And as far as I can tell there is only one recruit we are seriously going after that is committed to UCF.  When Dan Mullen got the UF gig he offered most of the top recruits from Miss St.

I think they get verified or something after a certain number of followers. On another note, after watching his highlight video, this kid seems like the kind of kid Wisconsin usually gets. I like him a lot!

I was thinking he looks like a bigger Tre Bryant. He definitely looks like a solid back. I agree with the people that think he should be a 4 star. 

I'm putting onmy heavy jacket when it hits like 60 outside, but that goes both ways pretty easily though. I doubt most people up there could handle the heat and humidity of  summers down here. Not too long ago we hit something like 90 days over 100 degrees in a single year here.
