BIG ERN

/whispers: "Recruiting" --but don't tell anyone. I don't see how it could hurt us. Carl is already gone and Stoops is a big name that I think recruits that are close might choose us.

When I said Bo's character is keeping us from a big name is that Bo knows he knows more defense than anyone and wants control over it. I'd rather have Zook over Stoops for recruiting. It would be amazing

I love Green but see him being the 3rd best out of the freshman -- Abdullah, Heard, Green

I think the character of Bo is what is keeping him from getting a big name DC

We dont use Turner or Abdullah half as much as we should

Neither do I, but all will be well if we land Peat. True story

Well I guess I'm 0-2 tonight on my facts...I've been lazy and haven't been checking like I should. At any rate that's a big line and Rex should be able to work behind it and in front of it. Anyhow I don't understand the outrage at someone claiming Ball is better than Burkhead. It's not as if its a baseless claim or anything. Rankings Yards per game... Rex #23 Ball #2 Touchdowns... Rex #T-13 (w/4 others) Ball #1 Yards.... Rex #17 Ball #1 Yards per carry Rex #>10 Ball #2 Ball has had one of the best years in CFB history. It's expectable that people are going to hype him. The debate is not if Burkhead is better than Ball. It is if Ball was head and shoulders better than Burkhead like this Severe guy claims, which is not the case. They are both great backs. I'd love to have either, but Ball is not that much better than Rex. I agree with the O-lines and how much better UW is than ours. Rex would be a Heisman canidate if we had UW line. Hell, he might be a Heisman canidate next year with out current O-line. That is how good he is. Badgerfan, nobody is claiming Ball sucks, because he doesn't. He is an EXCELLENT rb, but of course Husker fans are going to be biased when it comes to Rex. He is our best player and we all love him as our rb. If we didn't have Rex, I'd take Ball in a heartbeat. I get it but I don't think its crazy to even say "head and shoulders". You might disagree but I happen to think that Ball is significantly better than Rex as well. Hell I'd take White over Rex. Ball has 500 or so more yards and 17 more rushing touchdowns. He's scored more than twice as many times as Rex. That's "head and shoulders" if I've ever seen it. It's convenient to blame our offensive line but at some point you have to stop diming him out and give credit where credit is do. I mean the kid can also receive and he breaks far longer runs than Rex does...there's something in that. Oh well I guess its a good thing that you guys aren't happy to hear such a comparison because it just serves to show how awesome Ball is. I wonder if the fans of the 10-20 or so RB's that stand between Rex and Ball statistically are also worked up. I'd love it. Head and shoulders!?! Is he better? YES, but not head and shoulders. Wisconsin is like Iowa, they will get good backs and plug them into their system along with ridiculously good O-lines. Look at the draft Wisconsin and Iowa always have guys from their O-line. Each schools always have guys with GREAT numbers, but Ball got ALL the goal line carries. Again, TDs are OVERRATED

Bama and LSU both have good DCs but it's all about recruiting, and they always do a great job of that and the kids in the south are just better. Period

Fuller is a ridiculous athlete, if Armstrong is good as advertised Fuller might be a WR. Either way I want him no matter the position

If he wants to play QB, he won't and shouldn't come to Nebraska. Mainly because there is too much talent ahead of him

I'd be surprised if he didn't choose SC. Even though we will beat them in the bowl game

I don't see us landing Stanley

You had me at NO INTERCEPTIONS

1). Coaching Changes: Barney Cotton needs to be F RED. We need to stop playing patty cake football on the offensive side by being too conservative, and defensively get a solid DC (doesn't have to be Stoops) that will be a good recruiter and makes kids play with tenacity. 2). Bowl Game: W 3). Recruiting: We have done a pretty good job already but the additions of a Beaver, Rios, Diggs, Valentine, Seisay, Peat, Fuller, Lambert would be nice, obviously won't get all, but need a few of those kids.

I've never understood why people get so excited about touchdowns whether it's a QB or RB. -- OVERRATED stat

Talent wise, not going by experience (which is tough with the young kids), I have them in this order. *Only kids I consider "Good" Tackle - Zach Sterup, Tyler Moore Center - Ryne Reeves Guard - Choi, Long, Klachko, Givens Price, Andrew Rodriguez

We will lose tackle Hardrick & Jones along with center Caputo for next year. Who do you guys see starting next year on the O-line? Anyone heard anything on the young guys in Sterup, Givens-Price, Moudy, Reeves, or Klachko?

He said he's only going to visit 2 schools before signing day. That definitely helps our chances.

I hope Brown doesn't ruin the chances of Nance. This kid has talent

He's all but

Neb 17 SC 10 Rushing: 205 Passing: 120

When's the last time we've went head to head with Iowa for a high quality recruit that was not from a surrounding state? Ha can't say I recall one, but Lambert is huge for us especially since Jones decommitted.

Heard he is down to Neb and Iowa
