cheekygeek Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Two of the intriguing (Minnesota native) player story lines of the evening may involve: • Minnesota's "Mr. Football" 2021, Emmitt Johnson, will be returning home and presumably playing before family and friends (always a motivator). He chose Nebraska and will be one of the Nebraska kickoff returners this evening - and Rhule has said he doesn't like to fair catch. • The same goes for Omar Brown, from Minneapolis, who has had this game circled on his calendar for a while and is quietly playing with a chip on his shoulder for being overlooked by Minnesota. He's on the depth chart as the Cornhusker starting safety tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment

cornhuskers4ever Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I have goosebumps and am counting down the time to kickoff. I keep hearing Osborne's echoing statement at halftime on the '95 Orange Bowl. "No excuses, this time we get it done!" 1 Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 50 minutes ago, ColoradoHusk said: I think Rhule will play this game as close to the vest as long as possible. Rhule may open things up if behind by 2 scores in the 2nd half, but I think Rhule is just trying to get the 4th quarter within 1 score, and see what happens in the 4th. There will probably be mistakes by the players, but I don't think there will be glaring coaching decisions which will make us scratch our head. That is my dream for this game and I agree, that’s how Rhule is going to play it. It’s going to be straight up football till maybe in the second half when he might need to gamble to win. 1 Quote Link to comment
