Wrong - both were committed and Riley had work to do to keep them.

Grad transfer

Trent Hixon was a surprise - he hasn't been on the two previous depth charts.

It hasn't been disclosed exactly what the injury is but Frost did say there was no ligament damage so I believe we can rule out a 'slight tear' as that would be ligament damage. I guess you could consider a sprain a slight tear but I would speculate it likely a bone bruise and swelling - possibly meniscus injury which is cartridge.

1st highlight about 10 seconds in is a very similar play. I will acknowledge the tackler was getting blocked a bit but still pretty similar.

Disagree - I count at least 7. Armstrong, T Martinez, Lord, Newcombe, Crouch, Frost, Fraizer all come to mind.

I don't think this action is off of the QB dart like the first GIF. There is no pulling tackle. I believe it is just an RPO off of a zone read.

Thanks GSG. I think that is look off of the QB dart! Looks to be a good play off of the QB dart to keep defenses honest.

Did we ever throw the bubble to the RB in the flat? I don't remember seeing it even when I watched the game back. It looks like there could have been a couple big gains and could be a dangerous play for us down the road.

I'm not sure how Michigan's depth looks but he would have the opportunity for playing time at Nebraska - not saying he starts but couldn't definitely get in the rotation (if we use one). We could also slide Farniok down to Guard (where he played some at the end of last year) if Benhart shows he is ready.

IF this game doesn't get rescheduled AND Moos/Athletic Dept fully pays Akron but doesn't refund ticket holders - I will be upset. As a season ticket holder and donor such would show me that DONU is fine with making it right with another University/entity but not good with making it right to the people that fund and support the program. I don't want to hear the "ticket says no refund" because there are arguably clauses in the contract with Akron relating to "disaster" which would negate the payment. If the athletic department "does whats right" by paying Akron then they should do the same to the ticket holders.

I neither said Nebraska would nor think Nebraska would, I assure you.

I'm not sure the point of your post/response... but of course they don't have to pay a non P5 team but that is the most logical choice if the purpose of the game is to get to bowl eligibility. The money to pay another school has to come from somewhere. I'm sure there is a rainy day fund (pun intended) but the football team and athletic dept operate on a budget so its not as easy as just writing a check to another team.

I don't think anyone is saying the Akron AD acted in the manner to which you are alluding. My position is that we paid/will pay a lot of money for a benefit that we did not receive - which is a game against a school that we SHOULD win (uggh Northern Illinois). Why should Nebraska be the only party to this contract to bear the brunt of the misfortune of the weather? Instead it should be spread out among the parties. Nebraska didn't get the tune up game it wanted so Akron shouldn't get all of the money as a result. If we are forced to get another team to play a 12th game we are going to have to pay a handsome price to get that team to Lincoln.

I think it's being used as leverage in case we need to get a game in December 1. What incentive do they have to incur more travel costs to come back and play if they've already been paid? It is of no benefit to them. However, if we withhold payment until replayed or contingent on it being re-scheduled we have some leverage to get them back up here to play. Otherwise if i was them and already been paid and qualified for a bowl I'd say "no thanks".

Biggest debacle of the Bill Moos era so far - if we still pay and get no game it is on him. He has some explaining to do to the season ticket holders and donars.

Sounds made up- where did you read this? Why would we turn it down. Doesn’t make sense.

Will there be a refund?

I blame this thread for no game tonight.

Look at the radar.

Rain should stop in 30 min.

Completely agree. Very different mindset and outlook knowing you will eventually get a shot when the #1 is a year/class ahead of you versus the #1 being in your same class.

Yeah - not a huge fan of the location. I was imagining a sticker/decal on the back of the helmet.

I'm thinking they line up in the I-formation and shift out to the spread formation... will signal we still have our roots in husker power but have married the spread option concepts to it which was been Frost's M.O. since becoming a head coach.

Perhaps he would have handled it like Saban has with not naming a starter and playing both in the first game... that pretty much excludes a transfer until next semester.
