Fuzzy Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Im gonna go with players that i didnt expect to make an impact during the first two games. HB Rex Burkhead WR Curenski Gilleylen OT Ricky Henry DT Jared Crick LB Will Compton LB Eric Martin CB Prince Amukamara Out of all of those, I'd say Jared Crick has made the biggest impression. A sophmore DT that saw a little playing time last year as a R-Freshman, erupts this year looking like a veteran DT like Suh. Well done, and im looking forward to him and Baker working side by side during the next 2 years. Quote Link to comment
papersun87 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Offense: Who else but Zac Lee? He's been near perfect save for the one interception against FAU. Defense: Jared Crick. His impact is probably thanks in part to offensive lines focusing on Suh, but I don't want to take anything away from this kid. He's looked great on pass pressure. Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Also have to give Meno some credit. I expected him to have a pretty good year but he has been very consistant so far. Quote Link to comment
CoachKevin Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Isn't there another Freshman I-Back Redshirting from Texas that is suppose to be better than Burkhead. I believe his H.S. Team #1 in the Nation for most of the season. Quote Link to comment
caveman99 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Isn't there another Freshman I-Back Redshirting from Texas that is suppose to be better than Burkhead. I believe his H.S. Team #1 in the Nation for most of the season. I think you are talking about Dontrayevous Robinson. He isn't better than Burkhead nor was he ever as hyped as Rex. Not saying he will not contribute or even be a good player, just not as good right now or in HS as Rex was/is. He was in the mix to try and get the 3rd back spot early on after Castille got dismissed, but not much lately about him. Just for the record no one is officially redshirted yet. If the player doesn't get any snaps at the end of the year then they can count that year as a RS. Quote Link to comment
Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Cody Green! He should be starting!!!! Sorry, just kinda disappointed there wasn't a thread for him this week. Yeah, Crick and Lee. No question. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt316 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 D-Rob is supposed to be pretty dang good, just not as hearaled as Burkhead. The thing is he's a different kind of back and is going to need a redshirt year to put on weight and bulk up to fit his frame, As far as players whom have surprised, I just find it refreshing that we can name half a dozen or so off the top of our heads for the first time in a while. All around the team these guys with fanfare are proving to be worth the hype and those that were less hyped are proving to be just as hungry and ready to play. Quite a turnaround from the past few years of top tier accolades and bottom tier effort. Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 I also heard they like Robinson, but other than just his weight I dont think he has quite stepped up his pass protection like he needs to. Quote Link to comment
Incandenza Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hands down it's Zac Lee. I have really liked what Asante has been doing as well. Quote Link to comment

BOO... we will see what Lee really has to bring this saturday, NONE of us have seen how well he plays yet imo. So who's more impressive so far? Keep in mind all of the Nebraska players played Arkansas STATE and FAU. Quote Link to comment
craigsker Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 It's not about who Zac Lee beat, but how he beat them....with coolness and pose to step into the pocket, quiet feet, ability to throw the deep ball, and deadly accuracy that makes him my pick. If someone would've told me that a guy who has thrown 2 passes since he left junior college would be 7th in the nation with a 73 percent rating, I would've said "you're crazy." And Prince Amukamara...All we've heard is that he's not living up to expectations and just isn't grasping the defense. The kid had a great game last week so I'm givin' it up for Prince.

HB=Half Back 100th post Im very impressed with Lee as is everyone else. Our line is doing a better job protecting the QB. I am also impressed with the growth of out defensive secondary(compared to last year). Crick is growing up fast. Hope the Lbs grow fast too(sept. 19). Quote Link to comment
holvy83 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I will be impressed with everyone if they pull out a win on Saturday. Quote Link to comment
