melscott62 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 IF we have a healthy zack bowman and steve octavian all year, what do you think our record is right now? Its an interesting thought, good teams are talented and well coached. they are normally abnormally injury free. we have not been so lucky this year. I think that if we would have had both of these guys there is a good chance that we are one of those one loss team fighting for a bcs bid. hopefully we can build the depth to overcome injuries in the future.

BIGREDIOWAN Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I think it would have helped against OSU so we may have gotten that loss back, but so many things went wrong it's hard to say. Now the Texas game I think Bowman would have helped with some of the passing attack...........maybe we get one play back and that's the difference..... Quote Link to comment
huskernumerouno Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 It is hard to say if they would have been enough to prevent any of the losses but I can say it wouldn't have hurt to have them. Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I think because the Texas game was so close, it might have mattered. Obviously on the other hand, Texas had plenty of injuries too. But as for the other losses, we got handled pretty well. I don't see how it would have mattered much in them. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 All I care about is the game on Saturday right now because it's going to be tough and if we can go into College Station and beat aTm I'll be impressed with the poise of this team.......... Quote Link to comment

Touchdown Tommie Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I don't know if they would erase any losses. They definitely would have helped on some big plays....it is always hard to tell if one or two guys would have helped the team not lose a game. Quote Link to comment
Syzygyone Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Can't even know. More imortantly, why even try. Spilt milk, water under the bridge, etc etc. Focus on the future. It's there for the taking. Here's hoping this group of Husker has the heart for it! Quote Link to comment

This is going to be a tough game, and the team needs to play all four quarters. If they get a lead early, don't let up and let A&M back in the game. Quote Link to comment
Glendower Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Can't even know. More imortantly, why even try. Because it's fun to think about and it helps develop a more critical eye while watching a game hence raising the enjoyment level. When I was 12, I understood touchdowns and huge plays. After a few years of playing on the O line (not in college, don't think I'm trying to talk myself up here) with a team that did a lot of pulling and stunts (we had a fast line-- I was the fastest on the team in a 400 yard shuttle) I really, really appreciate huge blocks and clever blocking schemes a lot. I think that reflecting on and discussing the presence or absence of key players makes us more aware and we have more things to watch and cheer for. I mean, pancakes and just straight up smashing someone in the open field is great, but when you see how a pulling guard held up a tackle enough to make a nice little hole for a running back to blast through or how a leading blocker knocked a line backer just enough... well... that's nice to see, too. So yeah, if I had the time and the desire, it would be fun to go back and look at the texas game and see how many plays might have turned out differently if we had a LB in who was just a smidge faster or a smidge stronger or a smidge smarter... you know? It would really make me key on them and be aware of what our D does. Woudl that help me? Would that help the huskers do any better? Nah, but it would be something interesting to talk about it with the few fellow football fan friends I have... oh, yeah, sort of like what message boards are for, too Just my 2¢ Quote Link to comment
