lo country Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 6 hours ago, Guy Chamberlin said: Upset would be way too strong a term for me. Can't speak for Admo. It's not the craziest take, nor a slam on Rhule, that a fan might want to see more meaningful snaps for the younger players, given a season already pegged as a learning experience with low expectations. It's working on defense, and on offense we might not have much choice. For me it's not just Coleman, it's every WR and RB who was good enough to make the team. We are lacking a breakout offensive player at the moment, and history suggests there's probably one waiting in the wings. And nobody's talking about supplanting that hard-working starter --- just giving the youngsters a little more time, rhythm and play design. A player who is permanently scarred by a humbling freshman experience isn't likely to make the cut further down the line. Beau Davis approves of this message I mean, if we accept that coaches always know more than the fans, HuskerBoard itself will cease to exist. 1 Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Been following this thread. I totally get all the angles and all the sentiment but let’s be honest, for this season at least our hopes and dreams don’t rest on one guy. It’ll take a team effort to get to 6 wins or more. Since it looks like he’ll playing more due to injury and growth, great for the future too. players can grab an opportunity and break out or they can plug along and earn their spot. Either is likely so I’m going to enjoy watching, hopefully it’s the latter for Coleman. 3 Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Sounds like Coleman might not be waiting much longer to get his first start. Not that it's much of a surprise with Washington going down, but yeah... Quote Link to comment

ColoradoHusk Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 @admo good to see Coleman with a big TD catch today. Hope it's the first of many in a Husker uniform. 2 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment
BoSolich Posted October 21, 2023 Author Share Posted October 21, 2023 crazy we didn't throw some deep balls to him earlier in the season. he's clearly the best deep threat we have. 2 Quote Link to comment

Or NU was able to design a play to get him open, and Satt called a perfect play at a perfect time. Nobody knows if Coleman wasn't running deep routes before just because he wasn't thrown any. 3 Quote Link to comment
Undone Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Coleman is a good player. Get a QB in here who can throw the ball to him in a catchable vicinity (which we don't even really have right now) and he'll be tearing it up. 2 Quote Link to comment

Nobody knows if Coleman wasn't running deep routes before just because he wasn't thrown any. Exactly this. Apparently TO told Rhule sometime before the game 'if you're going to run the belly g option, you have to put in a belly g pass.' So, it was a great play call, good protection, a great pass, a great route, and a great catch. Five things went their way. But, it doesn't necessarily mean Malachi is the new deep threat or that they'll have success finding him on deep plays moving forward. He's still a young guy and Haarberg is still an inconsistent passer. That's not to take anything away from Malachi, because he executed excellently, but this offense hasn't really shown it can consistently get those five things right on the same play. 4 Quote Link to comment
commando Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 i keep checking this thread to see what the news is with coleman....and all i find is people arguing about the QB's. maybe that discussion deserves it's own thread? 4 Quote Link to comment
cheekygeek Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 This is a thread on Malachi Coleman that has devolved into (another) QB debate. Two things: 1) I’ve said before that Malachi gives me Randy Moss vibes & I LOVED how he had perfect form in catching it with his hands. 2) This play means a lot more than a TD: It means that, going forward, expect at least one fewer safety cheating up to crowd the box - which helps the running game (and short passing game). 4 Quote Link to comment
gobiggergoredder Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I apologize for derailing this Malachi Colman thread by bringing up Malachi Coleman, but it was nice to see that separation on the TD. He smoked that guy. 1 2 4 Quote Link to comment

He smoked that guy. I'm going to rewatch the game tomorrow like I usually do to pay more attention to more than just where the ball is like the first time around. I'm pretty sure at least once he ran by his man on the side line and disappeared off screen while the safety came down to support covering the TE. Kinda like the first play of the game with #84 that led to an INT Quote Link to comment
DawgBone99 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 He had a nice catch on Saturday. Go Big Red. Quote Link to comment
