To bad for Washington the guy with a red N on a white helmet on the other side of the field locking down their #2 receiver ain't to shabby himself.

PANIC AND MASS HYSTERIA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously would a Taylor struggle in the form of Cody vs. Oklahoma be the precedent or would it have to be worse.

Hot Sauce is great, I'm down with GSG5545 and callin shenanigans. However, the PPV Fox guys were calling him EL MATADOR, I kinda dig that one. Greg Sharp: "MArtinez breaks to the outside and streaks down the sideline for another touchdown!!! El Matador with another long TD run to increase Nebraska' lead!!!" Davison: "You know Sharpie El Matador is Spanish for the matador." God I can see it now

Yesterday after run plays where Idaho did some damage, Crick was right in David's ear. I think Lavonte is still adapting to the communication process. There were a lot of times where the D-Line barely had gotten set when the ball was snapped. These are the games to continue to iron out the communication issues before we get into the meat of our schedule. Also as BigWillie has stated the only thing we really needed to outplay these two teams was talent. Why let all the cats out of the bag. Our blitzes that we did run were probably the most basic vanilla blitzes we have. As for our ends(Allen for instance) it is all about containment. If for instance they spin back to the inside(highly taboo in defensive line strategies) and get buried as the QB or RB streak off around the corner Bo will eat their butts. A lot of it has to do with the defensive calls, but near the end of the game you saw Pierre off the edge and damn near kill the Idaho backup QB

THIS. Honestly I heard this stat on Unsportsmanlike Conduct one day and was shocked(so were Kevin and Severe). Who would have honestly thought that Rozier, Green, Crouch, Helu. It just doesn't seem like those four names should be clumped together, but with a decent year they will be. Roy was at my cousins wedding this summer and we chatted a little. He said going into camp this was the healthiest he had ever been. And it looks like it now. With Rex staying healthy this year as well, Roy can easily be a difference maker when healthy and take his spot behind three of the biggest names to ever tote the rock at NU

They say Robinson runs a 4.3 and I think he may be a smidge quicker than El Matador(the fox guys were calling him that yesterday and I like it a lot better than Magic). Robinson at this point probably is a better passer. Argue as you may about the plays called for him to throw, but they ain't that much different than the 5-8 stop and end routes that Taylor throws the majority of the time. When we got against better competition the next couple of weeks hopefully I will change my tune, but Robinson has played the better teams and I am not afraid to admit the guy is a SUPERFREAK!!! STUD, tate who? And I despise Michigan

His return against Va Tech helped swing the field position for us and gave us momentum. Another for the positives. All of those moments against two. One from each game. There is no way you can honestly attempt to say his play in the Tech game cost us the win. I was at that game and the offense was beyond inept that Saturday. The ISU game fumble hurt, but so did Roy's McNiells and Trey's right? Seriously our only DEEP THREAT PLAYMAKER outside of the hashes. And the same goes as a returner, but I figured even the blindest of Husker faithful would be able to see that the last two years

:rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin Why the laughing? haha. Because the Pac 10 ain't exactly the SEC or Big X or XII for that matter. And Washington struggled with Syracuse, and Jim Brown and Donovan McNabb don't play there anymore. ISU plays tougher week in and week out competition.

Wayne do you really want to practice at all hours of the day, longer than rules allow, and have your acedemics suffer when playing for RichRod? OR do you want to really sit around a camp fire singing Kum Bi Ya with skippy while contemplating the meaning of life, instead of improving your skills on the field? Come on this could have been made a final five so easily. I have not said his name in awhile but I guess I will now. Speaking of UCLA, after watching them get pounded by Stanford I can't help but to think that Owa made the complete wrong decision. He could have been great here, instead he will be playing for 4th in the Pac Ten. With that display, I'd say competing for 6th in the conference might be as high as they can go. The past two weeks they've looked rotten. I think a game between them and Colorado might be extremely entertaining at this point. Well OO burned his redshirt yesterday, and I think a UCLA/Iowa State game would be even more entertaining. However, back to Wayne, too bad he wasn't able to see this secondary play yesterday. Straight lockdown across the board. It was a thing of beauty to watch. Wayne could easily fit in with this unit. Send him the tape and then have one simple question on a notecard asking, "And how many of these other teams secondaries are playing at this level, and will get you to this level"?

Keeping Locker in the pocket will be the key to our defenses success up in Washington. Loved seeing our secondary lockdown receivers across the board yesterday. Believe it or not I thought the Vandals were going to be the perfect warmup for the d, before going to Washiington. Other than a real quick/shifty like Washington has in Chris Polk, the pocket passing game and receiver set is quite comparable. Like I said if the front four can keep Locker in the pocket I can see success. Other than going to Manhatten, am I the only one that isn't overly freaking out about a potential upset. Yes Daniel Thomas is a beast, but they have no quarterback what so ever and their defense isn't exactly the Steel Curtain. Bo will make sure that the team is keyed in on KSU as it is the conference opener as well as a North team.

The million was supposedly the deal breaker according to reports this summer when all this was going down. But it is funny that a mil is too much but we just sent the Vandals back home with $800,000.

And you can say that only one had any chance of directly reflecting the outcome of the game. That'd be ISU. And that was one of the what four fumbles inside the 10 yard line? So let's point the fingers at others who coughed the ball up. Niles has never individually cost us a game. If we are so critical about people fumbling why hasn't Roy ever been mentioned? The dude can cough it up just as much as the next person.

It's not that confusing. The advantage is getting the ball to a rb quickly and you have an extra blocker (no qb handing off which takes him out of the play). If it is not that confusing, then why do so many schools across the country run and enjoy large success with it. Personel mismatches occur when teams shift into the wild cat.

How many did Paul have in his first two years again? And who in their right mind would count his frosh year that primarily was burned for special teams only? And who would you say this year is a Swift/Peterson duo that would take the lions share of the receptions? That would be like Tray Robinson getting touches with Rex and Roy. My point is for those who beat Niles down, what are the other proven options. McNeil. He should have had a touchdown catch today if Martinez had thrown the ball better. Kinnie has also looked good in these first couple of games. He just isn't being given a lot of shots down field. Enhance, nothing but respect for ya, and 98% of the time I agree with ya, but McNiell as a WR hasn't really proven anything(i agree he would have waltzed into the endzone and had a nice catch on the ball thrown behind him) other than he is doing exactly what he did as a TE. Kinnie has ran maybe two routes longer than 15 yards in the first two games, great possession receiver not a deep threat. Think of the Baylor catch last year, the ISU catch(yes he dropped the ball eventually), the KU game, and the Big XII championship. Niles is the deeo threat, we thought maybe Curenski would be it, then A Bell maybe, and yet neither has Gilmore's trust, so really there is no one.

The Wildcat isn't just about running the football on the direct snap. You can also run sweeps and tosses to the quarterback who can then throw it down field. Plus, it's just a different look and another way to confuse a defense. The more looks a defense may have to face and prepare for is a direct advantage for the offense. Confusion can lead to personel mismatches which is supposedly exactly what Watson wants.

I am starting to come around more and more to being a Martinez fan(I am Cody Green guy). What the kid does with his feet is special and his burst and acceleration to top speed is unteachable and amazing. However my lack of total man crush status with Taylor is his throwing, decision making and pocket presence. The pick today was stupid and even he admitted it. What happens when he's faced with a real pass rush, stud secondaries, and defensive wizards is kind of frightning. He will see a ton of stacked boxes, blitzes and man coverage until he continually proves that he can hit receivers further downfield than 8 yards. Today he missed McNiell so badly with no rush, missed Kinnie running by himself down the hash, and was locking on to his WRs pretty badly too. As improved as our line is, the likes of K State, Mushcamp and the best secondary in the nation in Texas, and Mizzous front with the Smith boys seriously worry me.

I'm sorry but this is getting to be an old overplayed joke. Niles this Niles that, sit him overrated and on and on. Are a lot of you serious? Yes he has put the ball on the turf here and there, but so does Adrian Peterson and do you hear the lynch mobs out for him? Yes the ISU one last year was bad and I can admit I cussed about it for a while, but all of his others have happenend while he is trying to make something happen and turn a small gain into a big one(ain't that what we all want). Then people like to bring up the Tech game. How many other Huskers went after that ball thinking it was a fumble, not the other two Huskers that were by Niles that stood there as well, hell no one really chased the guy as they thought it was an incomplete pass. Then there's the drops. Hell every WR drops more balls that they should have caught and are quick to admit it. I'm sorry but Niles IS our deep threat at WR, punt returner, and should be back on KO's. I know I am not the only one that has a feeling Niles can take any punt or kick to the house. He is a PLAYMAKER, most devastating blocker on the perimenter, and toughest WR matchup we will present any opponent. As for today his fumble, was actually on the RB on that play too. Both were trying to take the ball. He didn't have a hold that wipped out a TD, that was Kinnie, Niles probably would've put the DB on his butt. And finally the muffed punt. It looks a lot easier to do from the stands. I'd love to see any of you focus on a ball coming down to ya dancing with the wind while 185-250 pound guys are runnning at you full speed expecting to destroy you. Yeah you might try to sneak a peek or two or three to make sure you live. In closing, tear my post a part as you will but show me someone better at WR. And for those who will shout out Kinnie, how many TD's does he have again.

Marshall certainly came to play tonight. The most impressive thing to me is how well they have tackled Devine in the open field. He has tried every shake and bake he has and he just keeps getting tackled. Even if it by a shoelace the Herd are containing him very well.

AMEN to that brotha!!! Gotta love these early kickoffs. They open the closet and let the college skeletons of moderate alcoholism of drinking when the sun comes up.

LOL saw that. Sad thing is she probably does have one

I love all pizza and as my friends will tell ya am a thin crust guy. But my first Chicago style deep dish pizza was at Gino's East down town in the Windy City. If any of you guys have ever seen the Man VS Food episode in Chicago it is the pizza joint he visits. And let me tell ya it was the greatest pizza I have ever had. Loaded with toppings and tons of melted cheese with every bite. It made me boycott pizza back home in Lincoln for like a month knowing that nothing could compare. Now as far as pizza in Lincoln give me the Isles or Piezano's. VALS SUCKS

I am ready to kick back and chill watching, in my eyes, the most explosive, exciting RB this year in Noel Devine. Who ya got? And OVER/UNDER of Devine's rushing yards at 150

Wayne do you really want to practice at all hours of the day, longer than rules allow, and have your acedemics suffer when playing for RichRod? OR do you want to really sit around a camp fire singing Kum Bi Ya with skippy while contemplating the meaning of life, instead of improving your skills on the field? Come on this could have been made a final five so easily.

Then I want my damn $10 bucks back or a hell of a deal on my next PPV purchase. Because last Saturday was a straight
