Sanford, Henrich and Butler are now Blackshirts. One is a walk-on. I'm honestly surprised the media haven't been asking this week by week - there have been changes before this week. It's who they expect to start each game, and we have different base looks for Michigan versus LA Tech. The fact that White said adding Reimer back has us at 12 would mean Butler took someone else's (Gunnerson?), they're not just adding guys. 1 Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I think we can all agree that our D had one great goal line stand against Illinois. It was the turning point of the game when the game was barely underway. Well in the future, if they need to mix it up a bit to fool future opponents when they are on our 1 yard line - I suggest this play Story https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/video-high-school-program-has-creative-answer-to-stuff-quarterback-sneak/ar-AA1inqDF?ocid=entnewsntp&pc=DCTS&cvid=669693cef43d4cdf9b4ffc967aebcc86&ei=15 Video 1 1 Quote Link to comment

But, maybe White doesn’t want his defenders to take a lot of chances to create turnovers. Maybe, he just wants to keep teams in front of the defenders, and force them to go the length of the field.

Well it would be nice if they capitalized on their opportunities. They have dropped multiple balls that should have been INTs. I also think it's time to find a permanent replacement for Hartzog. Most of the receptions teams get are from whoever he is guarding 2 Quote Link to comment

Most of the receptions teams get are from whoever he is guarding Hartzog has struggled at times, but I wouldn’t say he needs to be benched. Hartzog has a tough assignment with the field (wide) side of the field, and having so much space to cover. Plus, he was practicing the past 2 weeks at safety, played there the entire first half, and then moved to CB after Tommi Hill injured his ankle at the end of the first half. As fans, I think we forget that the other team can have good players too. Give credit to the NW receiver for making a great route on that double-move which burned Hartzog, and give credit for the NW QB to step up in the pocket and avoiding pressure to get that pass away. Also, give credit to Hartzog for hustling downfield and tripping up the NW receiver short of the end zone. Hartzog also made a good tackle against a big tight end on 3rd and goal. 5 2 Quote Link to comment

I wasn't just basing it off this game. He has come up in the run game a few times and made nice plays. I just don't think he's all that good in coverage and he's undersized. If he was breaking on balls and making nice plays I'ld be in his corner. But he gives up catches. He got lucky on the crossing route when he fell down at the guys feet and he tripped over him. That probably would have been 6 1 Quote Link to comment

Lorewarn Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Hartzog has plenty of room to grow but is also tasked with a very tough assignment being alone on an island on the wide side of the field with our scheme being heavily weighted towards stacking the box, sending pressure and stopping the run. I'm guessing that White understands and accepts the reality that he will occasionally get beat. 1 Quote Link to comment
