kansas husker Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 The only game I question os the texas/ucla game wasn't ucla pretty blowful last year. Quote Link to comment
Nexus Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Enderle wasn't a highly sought prospect out of high school. He was a 2* with only one offer. See this old Rivals teaser from Nov. 2005. After saying he wanted to wait things out and see if a team like Colorado or Nebraska would come through with a scholarship offer, North Platte, Neb., two-star quarterback Nathan Enderle decided to end the process after an official visit two weekends ago. LINK Needless to say, Idaho coaching staff deserves credit for developing him. I'm happy for him and hope he succeeds (except when he plays us) in college and the NFL. Quote Link to comment
huskerscott Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 The only game I question os the texas/ucla game wasn't ucla pretty blowful last year. I think they finished 6-6 or 7-6 something like that, they played Temple in the bowl game and won. IMHO they have a ways to go before they are respectable again. Hey but give them credit they got Owa and couple of hotshot recruits. Quote Link to comment
SaturnDrew Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 The only game I question os the texas/ucla game wasn't ucla pretty blowful last year. UCLA = PAC 10 team. "Blowful" would be a nice description for the league champion. Quote Link to comment

Then I guess at the time I wouldnt have blamed Billy C for not going after him. But we should always try to keep our instate talent close to home, regardless of flawed star rating system.

The Maudfather Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I'm kinda curious why Texas is number 4 on that list... Quote Link to comment

Interestingly enough NU didn't recruit a QB that year either. However they did snag a big one at the time in Harrison Beck the year before. Hindsight is 20/20 as they say. Quote Link to comment
schuhbdoo Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 1 - Alabama 2 - Ohio State 3 - Boise State 4 - Texas 5 - Va Tech 6 - TCU 7 - Florida 8 - Iowa 9 - Nebraska 10 - Oregon 11 - Wisconsin 12 - Oklahoma 13 - Miami 14 - LSU 15 - USC 16 - Pittsburgh 17 - Georgia Tech 18 - Arkansas 19 - Penn State 20 - Oregon State 21 - Florida State 22 - Cincinnati 23 - Georgia 24 - Stanford 25 - North Carolina Non-conference games to keep an eye on in the month of September among the Top 10 ranked teams. Great position to start the year. We run the table then we would have to be in the BCS game. This is better than starting out number 24 and having to run the table. We beat Texas and keep winning then we would be in a position to be in the top 3 or 4 once the Big 12 Championship comes around. We win that and it is hard not to be in the big dance. Getting about a mile ahead of myself but this is a great spot to start off in. Sat. 9/4 - TCU vs Oregon St. Mon. 9/6 - Boise St. vs Va. Tech Sat. 9/11 - Ohio St. vs Miami Sat. 9/11 - Iowa vs Iowa St. Sat. 9/11 - Nebraska vs Idaho Sat. 9/11 - Oregon vs Tennessee Sat. 9/11 - Florida vs South Florida Sat. 9/18 - Iowa vs Arizona Sat. 9/18 - Nebraska vs Washington Sat. 9/18 - TCU vs Baylor Sat. 9/25 - Texas vs UCLA Sat. 9/25 - Boise St. vs Oregon St. I know some of you might scoff at the Nebraska/Idaho match-up but Idaho does have a legit pro-style QB in Sr. Ryan Enderle (North Platte, NE native). He has been their starter since his freshman year. In my opinion, Idaho will be a tougher opponent than any of the Sun Belt teams we played last season. I also think this game will be a good test for our defense. Enderle threw for 2,900+ yds. and completed 61.5% of his passes last season. Playing against Enderle the week before Jake Locker is also a good stepping stone for testing our defense. At least after the Idaho game we'll know where we need to be when preparing for Washington.

blackshirts5115 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Thats about right were i expected us to be. I think Idaho might be our toughest test in the nonconference. An Idaho type of team can sneak up on us and gives us fits, if we are not prepared. We play UW the week after, everybody will be looking ahead to that game. Hopefully after last year, this team knows that you cant take any game for granted (Iowa State). I hope our guys dont "go through the motions" against Idaho. I think this game will be the most points the defense will give up in a game all year. haha seriously? i understand we might be looking ahead to the Washington game, but that doesn't make it TOUGHER than the Washington game. if your argument is that Idaho has a great QB, well... Washington's QB is better. not to mention the Washington game isn't in Lincoln. Sarkisian will have them ready and no doubt will be our toughest non-conference game. no argument for Idaho.

It'll be interesting to see how Washington looks in its season opener when they travel to BYU. That game could go either way. I could also see BYU winning that game. Quote Link to comment

Then they play Syracuse the next week. Granted, I know its Syracuse but the Orange I thought made some improvement last year. That game is no pushover. Washington could very well be 0-2 going into Sept 18th. Quote Link to comment

Washington is overrated, its unethical to have a team preseason ranked(like some due) after having a losing record the year before and winning one game the year before that. All Washington has is Locker and Polk, they arent the playmakers to beat Nebraska by themselves. Idaho is coming into their game with nothing to lose, thus play a little loser. Washington all of sudden has these expectations they havent had since Willinghams first year. They will likely play uptight, scared. Plus they will be likely be 1-1 or 0-2. Their season will hang in the balance depending on the Nebraska game. If by some miracle they win, it catapults their season. If they lose, it will be another long season for Huskie fans.

MattDoza Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Sat. 9/18 - Nebraska vs Washington UW hasn't been the most successful team in a long time. But the 2010 team will be dangerous. I also hope to go to this game. Quote Link to comment
