HuskerfaninOkieland Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Journal Star Coaches not looking ahead Wednesday, Sep 17, 2008 - 08:19:29 pm CDT For those of you wondering if coaches might use this bye week to take a sneak peak at Missouri, the Huskers’ Oct. 4 opponent, forget it. Nebraska hasn’t even begun looking at Virginia Tech, next week’s foe. “We’re working against our offense and just trying to get speed on speed,” defensive coordinator Carl Pelini said after Wednesday’s two-hour practice on the grass field. “We’ve been facing pretty unique spread offenses the last couple of weeks, so it was like trying to re-dial it in with the two tight-end sets we’re seeing against our offense.” Pelini described the workout as “weird,” saying the team practiced hard but wasn’t sharp mentally. “The mental aspect wasn’t great,” he said. “But it’s like switching gears again. We’re going against ourselves, a completely different offense we haven’t done a lot of work against.” This and that: Wyoming athletic director Tom Burman told the Rocky Mountain News that discussions are being held with Nebraska on a multi-year series that could include one game at Invesco Field in Denver. .... Defensive backs Anthony West and Rickey Thenarse practiced Wednesday but wore green no-contact jerseys. ... Nebraska practices today and Friday and will take Saturday off. Quote Link to comment

BIGREDIOWAN Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Well I guess now is as good as anytime to have a weird practice. It happens and it's expected............ Quote Link to comment
huzkerbob Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Wierd is not the first word I'd like to hear coming out of practice. Not to worried, actually looking forward to a more physical game. Get our LB and especially the D-line some good work in during the bye week, and come out guns blazing next saturday night in PRIME TIME! Can't wait for this one, should be a classic!
