Exactly what are you looking for? Can you just take that logo and put it on an orange shirt? Is that the swim teams logo or just one that you like the look of and want to base the design on?

Man, you are a screw up!

Once again, nice job.

I've heard that UW stadium is one of the loudest in college football. Maybe THE loudest.

I'll bet BRI's left nut that Lincoln breaks that record Oct 16th

I'll take that bet, I'm short one.

Well done hskrfan4life, thanks for sharing!

I'll add mine as well.

Member highlights added to first post.

These last three pages deserve a round of applause, but of course it's not a "complete round" of applause because not everyone will be clapping.

First post updated with board members' vids.

Offense

 

Quarterbacks: A

Starting freshman quarterback Taylor Martinez put on a pretty solid show both in the air and especially on the ground. "T-Mobil" displayed his acceleration on multiple plays including his first collegiate touchdown of 46 yards. Cody Green also made an appearance and showed some promise with what appeared to be a more acute throwing game and a bit more comfort behind center than last year. Zac Lee saw brief playing time late in the game, but not really enough to show whether he has what it takes to lead the Huskers for a second year.

 

 

Running Backs: A-

Roy Helu and Rex Burkhead statistically speaking have room to improve, but they did their job. They both had 5 carries each and only out rushed by Martinez. Burkhead and Helu each had 1 touchdown averaging 11.4 and 5.8 yards per carry. Not a bad start for what could be a great one-two punch.

 

 

Receivers: A-

All in all, this should be a solid group of guys that we can continue to rely on. Between Brandon Kinnie and Niles Paul, we should have no issue getting the ball down field. The ball was spread out over 7 different receivers totaling 247 yards and 1 touchdown.

 

 

O-Line: A-

The line was able to move a somewhat undersized defensive line and create some big holes. Mike Caputo did an excellent job at center taking over for an injured Mike Smith. The rest of the line helped put up 289 yards of rushing with 536 total offensive yards.

 

 

Defense

 

D-Line: B-

If there was one area that needed a bit of improvement, in would be in the trenches. The defense gave up way to many yards on the ground. Nebraska gave up on average only 93.1 yards per game while Western Kentucky's offense tacked on a total of 179. Bobby Rainey had a career high 155 total yards against the Blackshirts.

 

 

Linebackers: A-

With all of the uncertainty created by preseason injuries in the linebacker position, the linebackers showed up to play. Lavonte David lead the Huskers with 13 total tackles. We should expect great things from him this year and the next.

 

 

Defensive Backs: B+

Our defensive backs are the most experienced part of team, but they seemed to be a little tentative. While they provided a large percent of the Blackshirts tackles, their were a few too many holes in the coverage. Although, I really don't think there is anything to worry about in this position down the road.

 

 

Offensive MVP

Taylor Martinez (were you expecting someone else?)

 

 

Defensive MVP

I'd say Burkhead's 104 All Purpose Yards is improvement enough...especially on 5 carries and 2 receptions

It was more targeted at Helu, but by no means did either perform badly.

Did anybody order the game on DirecTV? How much was it? Was it in HD?

 

I have Dish Network and if anybody answered the above questions as yes, yes, and yes, than I'm going to call Dish Network and see if I can get my money back.

 

My uncle and cousin were in town and I gave them permission to order the game at my house since I was at the game and told them to let me know if it was in HD because it was suppose to be. They informed me that it wasn't so now I'm just waiting to hear from DirecTV customers to answer my 3 questions above.

yes, yes, yes

He just needs to work on his public speaking a bit. Not really a natural. If you remember, Frazier was a little on the cocky side, and that turned out well.

Power

I love the internet.

 

Everyone has an opinion and most of the bad ones are filled with hyperbole and over-dramatization. I mean come on. Does his demeanor really matter? He has the utmost respect of all of his peers, pretty much across the board.

 

Knock it off. We'll all calm down after Saturday. Even Bo will too.

 

How about YOU knock it off!!!!!

How about we don't make it personal.

Your Mother!!!

Are you hitting on him?

While Lee practices more traditional methods of throwing the ball, Cody Green and T-Mart apparently are throwing granny style.

Uh oh, another option/power running game thread.

 

I don't really have anything to add, I just love our dancing emoticon.

Man, you guys just smoked him. People are getting edgy with the taste of football around the corner.

@87skers: good luck with popping the question and all the best to you and your lady.

I like the nickname. "Houdini"

Thanks for the video eliot, I don't even get ESPN, let along ESPNU here in Korea.

 

EDIT: There is far too much Texas in the first 45 seconds of my NEBRASKA preview

No problem.

Just letting everybody know that ESPNU is having the Big 12 Football Preview tonight 6pm central 7pm eastern. Im sure it will be replayed a million times before the season starts.
