  1. What if I told you that Nebraska's game against tOSU last year had the makings of a convincing win (17-24 pts) favoring the Big Red. I really hope the self inflicting play is behind this program. It would make all the difference.

      I guess my point is tied to the fact that Nebraska outplayed tOSU for a significant chunk of that game, and lost by less than a score. If you re-watch, so many unforced errors is what gave tOSU the chances in that game. If Nebraska were to just play a normal football game on their part, they win.

      @ColoradoHusk

      There is a video of the game (under 40 min). You will see that it was more of what Nebraska did and didn't do, and not what tOSU did. Almost every mistake by Nebraska was unforced. Pivotal moments include : the shank, blocked punt (missed assignment), Adrian making worse play of the year by throwing JD the ball behind line of scrimmage. Nebraska more than likely scores there. changes game completely. Missed assignment on Dixon where he is able to walk in. Alligator arms by JD that takes Nebraska out of scoring position. Devine Ozigbo dropping balls on third down when he is wide open and has space. Adrian missing a wide open Kurt Rafdal (with room to run) and would have put Nebraska in plus territory. There is a play in the middle of the 4th where Ozigbo gets the handoff at the 4 and gets 3 yards but is pulled down from behind because he is running too high. They get the field goal instead of a TD. Re-watch this game and you will be a little more frustrated, but a little more hopeful. Also, if you're ever looking for the perfect, "it's not what they did, its that we didn't execute" game, this is the one. 

       

      Sorry, I had a full break down by moment and quarter, but it was too time consuming.

      Yeah that one too. It is why I don't harp too much on the talent issue. It has been all about mentality. The talent will eventually get to a level where we are more than pleased.

  5. I am really thinking about starting my own Husker Podcast.

      Yeah the CC level. I definitely have my takes on the current team, and my feel for it. I do want to spend some time discussing recruits since it is a passion of mine. I have done some mock ups today and liked how it came out so hopefully I can get something up soon. I really just need a place to start.

  7. Lamar Jackson might be our only draft pick next year. 

    1. Vince R.

      If jd leaves early, I can see it. I don’t think darion has had a productive enough career to this point to be drafted. Jaimes will be a 4 year guy. Mo Barry has to make a decent sized jump to get drafted. Now if Nebraska is in Indy, this might all change. Being relevant helps a ton.

  9. I am so proud of Devine Ozigbo. What could've been had this staff been here his whole career. I hope he kicks a$$ in the NFL.

      @B.B. Hemingway @ReduxI remember some literally putting Wilbon, Mazour, and Bradley firmly ahead of him.

      I always said, if he had a big W on his helmet, and not the N, he would have been an all-american. Just so happy, and he is the poster boy for what our strength and football staff can do. Love it.

  11. If we thought the roster turnover was something this year, after the season, it is going to be a complete overhaul. 

    1. Vince R.

      Vince R.

      I get the impression that this staff believes they need to rid themselves of 10-12 additional guys.

  12. This program will suffer until the defeatist psyche is completely removed. It has never been about talent or buy in. That psyche permeates into everything and serves as a membrane. Once it is removed, everything else starts to function normally. It is truly up to the players if they want to right this ship. 

  13. There was a true QB battle this fall, and it was extremely close. The frog that was in Frost's throat during the presser, is showing up on Saturdays. 

  14. I’m sure the answer to this question is buried somewhere in the 15 page Gebbia thread but I’m going anyway: Did anyone else hear that Gebbia didn’t want to leave Nebraska but his Dad wanted him to leave. This is sad-nothing like helicopter parents.  

  15. For future reference. Look out for Xplosive Edge to become a huge advantage for our local recruits, scholarship or walk-on. You might start seeing 10-20 guys per year working out there to be ready as soon as they step on campus.

      Yes! Apparently the walk-ons who trained there have reaped the benefits tremendously.

  16. I love that NU has still only played Indiana once since joining the Big Ten...this conference does some odd stuff.

      Even the conference officials forget about Indiana Football

      @decked Holy hell, you weren't kidding. The amount of mass they put on is insane.

      Some were, some weren't. I checked on them about a week ago and see that a lot are the same. Guy Thomas being the most obvious. No way he's 200 lbs.

      I followed her on twitter a long time ago, and it took me about 10 minutes to unfollow her soon after. I am glad that she is okay since the accident. That aside, I just can't.

      @DewizHe actually signed to Minnesota as apart of the 18 class but ended up reclassifying. He's on campus right now and it would be great to get him. We need DB's and he appears to be a really good prospect.

  23. What is up with the lack of cornerback recruiting? It is arguably the most important position in this cycle for the Huskers.

    1. Vince R.

      Vince R.

      This class was the one they were going to be behind on. They will chip away and get one every other month and then once the season rolls around, they will get two to three after a game.
