While Zaire was an improvement, I actually thought Santos had a better overall game the few series he was in.

Thanks for the link...caught where he said Zaire almost committed to NU. By the way there is a thing going around on FB for anyone going to the UCLA game to show up at Johnnys game on the 7th and wear red and show your support for Johnny. I guess its a close drive. That would be pretty epic if a sea of red showed up for his high school game... would probably turn some heads in the recruiting world in so cal 2.

Is Johnny back in action at the Elite 11 today after missing yesterday due to a prior 7-on-7?

Hmm... Peyton Manning?

Reminds me of Braxton Miller. Not overly fast but is elusive in the pocket. Also, a thicker Qb that is a playmaker.

Exactly what I was thinking

Watching the Wisc-Mich St didn't feel to me that having the BIG Championship game played indoors was the right decision. Just didn't feel like a BIG championship game and the environment didn't feel right. I know this was discussed earlier in the year but it really struck me watching this game. Would have loved to see it played outdoors. Anyone else feel this way after watching the game?

I think the best case scenerio with the coaching staff is that Barney moves into an adminstrative role within the athletic department, hire turner gill to coach qbs and possibly tagged passing game coordinator or something along those lines, beck remains the oc and helps garrison out on the line. On the defensive side jp moves into dc or a co-dc... or a longshot bring in mike stoops as dc (unlikely as I believe he is already headed to be co-dc at ohio state).

gotta show a fellow nebraskan some love now... vote woodhead!

how about the possibility bo tried to handle this with class by not fireing watson and ruining his reputation while watson was in the running for head coaching jobs... i would bet that there was some understanding watson would be/will be let go but the announcement was put off so save face for watson in his pursuit of another job

come on... this guy does not have a single nfl trait besides interview abilities and looking pretty... can't make correct checks at the line, weak arm, can't make quick decisions, not good from under center/good footwork or height, doesn't throw the deep out or long ball well. only way he makes it in the nfl would be as a position coach many years down the road

You are conveniently IGNORING the other half of the argument. Quite frankly the most important part. Two...two penalties on Texas A&M all game. 2nd most penalized team in the league and Two penalies...please address this. Why do you think it was only 2? Do you think every there no missed calls on NU -- look at the batted ball (only one in the game) Hands to the face -- It just blows my mind that you think they are out to take the CCG from you -- if so why let the OSU game go the way it did or MIZZ -- they where the two best teams that you played and would have been the one to pull that. If they where out to make sure you loose you think you get a 35 yard run out of the shadow of your endzone. The Off is not at good as some BR fans want to think. 17 against SDSU. NU is greatly improved but they are not a top 10 team. Consider your mind blown then, wake up and smell the coffee. one reason for letting the osu game and mizzou game go is because they followed a texas game in which nebraska lost where questionable calls directly affected the outcome. neb was in no means in the driver seat until after the mizzou game and now that the season has progressed beebe boys have stepped up their efforts to keep us from going to the ccg. iowa state and kansas just didn't have enough fire power to beat us but a&m did... i would love to hear your insight as to how after the mizzou game our opponents have 6 penalties combined... please enlighten us other then pointing out the offense is bad... even though neb has been playing with a third string qb for the majority of these games.

i've heard rumors that if cj commits oklahoma will seriously up there efforts for tevin mitchell... may not be the right place but anyone else heard rumors of this?

His throwing mechanics are fine, I think. Not sure if you meant that specifically or overall mechanics. His footwork on his drops could use a little cleanup, but I think that's a result of putting him in a shotgun/spread offense when he really ought to be in a more pro-style offense. His biggest problem (as you pointed out) is happy feet. He made the O-line look a LOT worse than they really were. NU certainly got pressure at times, but even when they didn't, he ran into it unnecessarily. This has been a problem for 2 years, now. yeah i wasn't referring to his throwing mechanics... should have been more clear... his footwork mechanics and pocket presence are what i see as his glaring weaknesses

I think he has the potential to be a high draft pick because of his size, arm strength, and mobility... however his mechanics are terrible. His progression and pre snap reads need work. Also he has terrible footwork after his initial read and gets what many call happy feet. There were double digits where he began to scramble at times he should have stood in the pocket and delivered the ball (although there was great coverage) he bailed out way to early and way to often. He has alot of work to do in taking his drops if he wants to succeed at this and the next level.

Great effort by the O line and especially Helu... heckuva game for that young man!

Compton got some pt late last week... any word if he's returning to the starting line up this week and david moves over to the other linebacker spot??? or do we keep david and gomes at lb going against pass happy ok state?

This has been brought up in many other threads, with most of the blame being placed on Taylor. I think it goes to one of my biggest beefs with Pelini and not haveing set captains in favor of a rotation. I really disagree with him on this and think we need set captains who have the authority to set up and get in peoples faces when there is a let down. I feel to often there is a lack of accountability and ownership that is becoming apparent in our program with the jeckle and hyde team we currently have.

Then why did we have to pay Idaho and Wash not pay Cuse? Stumper?? If you are right Saturday it won't even be close to a contest and we will put their lights out In the first quarter. Why not wait and let the team prove it? not much of a stumper at all to a common college football fan. you dont pay out for home and homes. washington ventured to syracuse in 2007. idaho was a one way ticket. If you don't understand the difference in a paid beat down and a home and home series; I can't help you. you must be confused billy ball... mmmtodd laid it out perfectly for you also, idaho won its bowl game last year.

Bo defiantly needs to get T-mart in some public speaking classes... is it to late to drop/add??

didnt read any responses but zac lee had his shot and proved nothing during conference play last year... our offense was the laughing stock of not only the big xii but the entire nation. if you think he got screwed go back and watch any conference game from last year. he is clearly not our best option to have a good season or he would be on the field.

anyone that lives outside of nebraska, such as my self, continually heard last season about how bad zac lee is non stop... one of my favorite quotes is something along the lines of if we could get bad qb play instead of horrendous we would have been a bcs bowl team last year. my point is zac lee had his shot... blame it on the injury but that is just taking the easy road.. an injured elbow still doesn't make up for bad reads and running with his head down (a point i never noticed but many of my sooner buddies made). i'm all for playing our best players but we might as well figure out what we have in the stable before we try and rely on a horse that just doesn't have it.

i don't know what do think about that? i think he meant more than just that? was the "nebraska's back" one of the few times bo was not using coach speak and demonstrating honest emotion? i think he meant that we can compete with any team. I kinda wish that he would of not said that "nebraskas back" I would feel more comfortable with him saying that after we win the big12 championshp it was an emotional statement that he truely meant.. he is trying to save face in the media and not sound to cocky.. but we all know we r back and here to stay

If they outlaw the bones personally i feel that the ncaa would then have to outlaw the hook 'em horns and the guns of texas tech and etc.

we got the king-to-be, a river, and a dinosaur...GBR
