BIG ERN

Trev = coward. 

Walk-on spot...one of the perks Nebraska has been utilizing well with NIL.

We might scholarship strapped, but having your 2nd and 3rd strings as a True Freshman (who backs another True Freshman) and HH is a terrible strategy.  

 

As a sign of the right program trajectory, Haarberg would never see the inside of the QB room except to say hello to legitimate D1 QBs.

QB is the trickiest of positions for depth, especially with a freshman that we know is going to start. 

Want.

Just to piss you off

It would actually make me happy. 

Why would Howard come to Nebraska at this point? I'd obviously take him, but from his standpoint I don't see why he would. Terrible offense this year, didn't make a bowl game, questionable OC, average NIL and no good veteran receivers as of now.

I guess it depends what level you think we need. Obviously someone like Nix, Penix, Williams, Gabriel  would be something special but we could get someone playing as well as Dart, Rattler, Daniels, Ward, Hartman, de Laura and be a really good football team. 

Fair enough but we thought that with Sims and Thompson. I was hoping for someone better than Kaelin, especially if we want a running QB going forward.

Adding to this, I think getting the good portal QBs in a lot cases is from years of contact before they are in the portal. I am willing to bet they are already contacting QBs this year whereas last year they had very limited time combined with Rhule being in the NFL for a few years. 

I'm for the portal but to land an elite QB would take a lot imo. We have to take a look at a QB for sure but I won't hold my breath.

Better be taking a QB or all this mojo may be tempered in the offseason.

Can't wait to get the offseason juice flowing with the next Lamar Jackson again...btw I'm not against a portal QB but everyone acts like we will land some big shark. 

He's played in 5 of the 8 games this year.....14 tackles, 8 TFL, 4 sacks (leads the team)

He may have peaked already in HS but is still a solid choice overall.

Think he's talking about this piece of your initial post:

 

Correct. He is a pocket passer. I think once we missed on Raiola we wanted to make sure we got the two WRs from Bellevue and felt Kaelin was good enough, but not sure Rhule feels totally solid on him.

I think this does say a lot about who this guy is at turning programs around.

 

If the slow, plodding offense is what he actually sees the team running by 2026, then they'll probably continue to prioritize QB's in recruiting that are physical and run extremely well. This again limits the kind of arm talent you can bring in.

 

But, we'll see.

 

Biggest concern for the foreseeable future might be Tony White leaving for greener pastures, honestly. Guy is absolutely a great coach.

Which is why it is a little puzzling we recruited Kaelin for 24' 

Phil Snow was always his DC and Satterfield was at Temple from 2013 - 2015. Glenn Thomas took over from there till he went to the NFL. 

2013 Temple - 24.9 ppg / 29.8 

2014 Temple - 23.1 ppg / 17.5 

2015 Temple - 29.8 ppg / 20.1 

2016 Temple - 32.4 ppg / 18.4 (new offensive coordinator. Satterfield left to be HC at Tennessee Tech) 

2017 Baylor - 24.3 ppg / 35.9

2018 Baylor - 29.5 ppg / 31.7 

2019 Baylor - 33.6 ppg / 19.8 

68-12

66-0

28-0

54-0

Not so fun for other teams thus far

Highlights from Prude’s first three games. He looks like he improved a whole bunch this offseason. Really fluid and good in coverage. 

Looks like he could fill in for a role like Javin has right now

These injuries suck big time but at least Grant is a veteran player who I like when he is in the game personally. Has some shiftiness and also isn't afraid to lower his shoulder. 

What Deion is doing is great, but I hate when the media says historically. This is all NEW territory with NIL/transfer portal. Years ago kids had to sit out a year and many wouldn't transfer due to this. I can see this being hey come play with us here next year mudslide with a select few teams - already kind of is. Looks like the AAU basketball circus. 

Rhule can go out and win at Colorado Saturday to ease a lot of this talk. People also need to realize that we brought in a lot of young players for the near future. Sanders brought in ungodly amount of transfers with experience to win now. It doesn't mean he can't keep it up, but just two different approaches. I can tell you I'd rather have Kent St's old HC as OC than Satterfield at this point.

Thereinlies the biggest issue to me: our biggest win is going to come if/when Prochaska can get healthy. Corcoran is not a LT, and while Piper is a fantastic ambassador for the program, Teddy getting healthy allots for Corcoran to slide inside to a more natural position. 

I would like to see more Lutovsky for Piper...hopefully Teddy can get healthy but I won't be holding my breath. 

Just some plays that stood out to me:

• Piper had a couple whiffs in the run game 
• Corcoran had some whiffs in the pass game 
• Reimer came down to the ball nicely 
• Singleton had some good sticks from the Safety spot 
• Wright had a few nice plays 
• DL was alright. Nash made some havoc in the middle
• DBs were too far off the ball most game
• Only getting one possession in 1Q (starting from the 1 yard line) wasn't ideal 
• Sims with some nice runs (obvious poor decisions passing)
• Two false starts inside the 5 were absolute killers 
• Throwing 3x in a row after getting ball back with 12 min was mind boggling dumb 

Commercials and the new running clock are going to massively suck vs teams who bleed the clock

Tackling was greatly improved.

I also think Butler helps once he is healthy to get more pressure and TFLs. 

We gave up 530 yards to Northwestern last opener which was a massive red flag. The D then gets blown by GSU and Oklahoma...bright spot was the run defense.

I’m seriously concerned with our kicking game / starting a freshman. Tonight this could matter GREATLY. I hope he’s ready for the spotlight.

Timmy started 1-3 last year but finished strong. Hopefully Tristan has some stones
