34-28 - good guys.

Robinson - have to get him 10+ touches today.

Definitely not saying he is all conference material - but he is under appreciated. As pointed out by runningblind, he played well and hurt us in the Indiana game last year. All I'm saying is don't sleep on Ramsey, he's a good enough QB to win games with his play (as opposed to needing to rely on defense and etc).

Excited to see Farmer and Newsome get some serious playing time in the first half this game. Should be a great game to break in a few new players in the secondary with the lack of a deep threat at Northwestern. Only hesitation is that Ramsey is a legit QB.

To push the 'quitting' even further - I would put it past Fleck (who is enough of a tool) that if their COVID cases are high enough (orange/red level) and they are out of contention to call off the last game.

Pretty good breakdown on Rivals of where things stand after fall ball. https://nebraska.rivals.com/news/husker-fall-baseball-wrapup Povich, Hroch, and Shanaman appear to have the inside track for weekend starters. Max Anderson and Brice Matthews impressed and will look to start in the infield. Schwelly looks to be the only guaranteed starter in the infield at SS but he got some run at pitcher was was sitting around 95. Did not see any mention of Cam Chick. Anyone have any insight on Chick's status?

Anybody else get the feeling Jeff Potrykus has a connection to (or gets info from) Big Ten Commissioner Barry Alvarez office... I mean Wisconsin AD Barry Alvarez.

Along the same lines is maintaining the mental focus for 4 quarters. Over the last few years we have been unable to maintain discipline and play a full 4 quarters of football without the penalties and/or turnovers against quality opponents. The last game against OSU was a prime example, as we played the first 25 minutes of fairly sound/disciplined football. At about 5 minutes left in the 2nd quarter is when things began to slip.

15-20 in the rankings would be a good spot for this class to land. We need to continue to stack top 20 classes on each other. Fidone is likely the only immediate contributor (in year 1 or 2), but I like the class which should begin providing depth and contributions down the road. Bretz will likely see a ratings jump and may be the steal of this class.

Completely agree. I wouldn't be sad to see Iowa on a downward trajectory for the next few years - if for nothing else than to quiet some of my friends and family.

Based on what I've read and heard the last couple days I think the WR depth chart shakes out as follows: X: Warner/ Falck / Liewer Y: Brown / Betts or Fleming R: Robinson/ Hickman / Belt TE: Stoll / Vokolek or Allen Very possible we see Warner and Falck on the field at the same time - including in 4 WR sets. Also expect to see Hickman in both the slot and outside (when we go to trips).

Nebraska will have a nurse with them on the plane to do the COVID-19 testing upon arrival. The Big Ten also just approved that if a player tests positive on the antigen test, they are allowed to do a more thorough PCR lab test on the result to make sure it’s not a false positive. If the PCR test comes back negative they are allowed to play. Also reports that no new cases on the team since the Big Ten testing began on Sept 30 - some speculation there were a couple false positives which were later overturned by the PCR lab test.

Nebraska is as likely to go 0-8 as they are 8-0. Neither are happening.

Sounds like we might be on the outside looking in. I thought we were in better position than it sounds like we are for Nwankpa. “Iowa, Texas, Mizzou are all schools I check in with weekly,” Nwankpa said. “Penn State, also, and I check in with LSU every couple weeks.” https://nebraska.rivals.com/news/several-schools-strong-with-four-star-db-xavier-nwankpa?ga_source=cm

Answer to first Question: Covid and the "free year" of eligibility this year. I think we are going to see a lot of this because there is a numbers crunch and uncertainty with how this free year will effect numbers down the road. I'm not sure if all recruits will state they have been "dropped" (due to ego) but I anticipate we will see decommits due to the numbers crunch after being informed their spot is no longer committable. Answer to Second Question: No. Like Mav stated, I think we are good were we at at - especially considering how many o-linemen we have as true fresh and redshirt fresh and will have the same number issue as others.

I completely forgot about Hickman! I think the WR position is the most wide open and toughest to get a read on where guys stack up.

Since Frosty is not releasing a depth chart this week I figured it would be fun to predict now that Fall camp is closed: Offense QB: Martinez or McCaffrey RB: Mills / R Johnson or R Thompkins R: W Robinson/ Fleming WR: Warner / Falck / Leiwer WR: Brown / Manning or Betts TE: Stoll or Vokolek/ Allen T: Jaimes / Corcoran or Banks G: Wilson / Bando C: Jurgens / Farniok G: Farniok / Piper T: Benhart / Gaylord Defense E: Stille / Green or Rogers NT: Daniels / Riley or Green E: Thomas or Robinson OLB: Domann / Heinrich ILB: Miller / Reimer ILB: Honas / Henrich or Mauga-Clement OLB: Nelson or Tanner / Cooper CB: Bootle / Newsome CB: Britt-Taylor / Joseph S: Dismuke / Farmer S: Williams / Poa-Gates K: Culp P: Prystup

I agree. I see us only losing to PSU and OSU this year (1 of them twice). Wisc will be a toss up but I think we finally exercise our special teams demons against them and Iowa to pull off close wins.

This game is on Fox. If you don't already have an antenna they are pretty cheap to pick-up at Wal-Mart or off of Amazon.

Give him that 5th Star!

While most plays are designed to score TDs, every OC has plays designed to pick up certain yardages - especially 3rd plays/packages. For instance all curls, ins, and/or scissors/pick-plays aren't "designed" to score tds.

You mean BIG Sam? (man did hearing that on Saturday get old).

I'd prefer all whites (white jersey and white pants). Not a big fan of the black pants/white jersey combo.

Completely agree, but what makes it difficult is when the fan base immediately calls for the starter to be pulled after the first 3 and out. At least we won't have fans in the stands and such calls will be confined to Huskerboard this year.

Anyone hear what body part is injured and whether season ending (which is likely due to the abbreviated season)?
