motorboatjonesNU Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Gosh it's about time... From Shatel's column: I asked Pelini if he had to teach his team how to tackle. I was half-joking. Pelini wasn't, saying, "That's something we'll work on from day one." He added that pads not only will be worn in practice, but used. There will be full contact scrimmages and lots of "1's vs. 1's." All season. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Thank god!!!! After hearing about how Callahan was conducting practices last season I was shaking my head in disbelief. Quote Link to comment
motorboatjonesNU Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 I think to really improve, we've got to put the best vs.the best at least once a week. Oz started to do that in '93 and look what happened. Quote Link to comment

Hunter94 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 yep, remember when the players used to say they looked forward to game day...because it would be easier than practices all week?? that's what Bo is talkin' bout...YOU PLAY, LIKE YOU PRACTICE!! i suspect there will be some preseason bumps and bruises....maybe worse, but it needs to be that way...teams need to hate playing us because they will feel it well into the next week!

Yes, yes. And I've heard they only wore full pads twice before USC! Is that even possible? Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Sure it's possible...USC was the third game of the year, wasn't it? Quote Link to comment

cornhuskers4ever Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Awesome! I have a feeling the Cornhuskers conditioning will be awesome since they're in full pads when they are practicing. Was it before the '95 Orange Bowl that the Cornhuskers practiced in Full Pads all the way up to the Bowl Game, and Nebraska was the better conditioned team in the 4th quarter. Because Callahan hardly, if ever had the Huskers in Full Pads, it made the Huskers suffer. 1's vs 1's is awesome too. I can't wait to see the results this season! Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 you don't suppose any other Big 12 schools are conducting most practices in pads, do you? sorry, i suspect this is the norm and Clownahan was the exception....we are just now going to be doing it correctly...again. Quote Link to comment
