Enhance Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 The one spot we couldn't afford any more injuries at. Linebackers will be extremely important against Washington to help control short passes in the middle of the field. Losing Compton indefinitely is a huge blow. Quote Link to comment
n.e.husker Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Who steps up? May, Whaley, David or Martin. Did i forget somebody? Quote Link to comment
epocSoN Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 David is already starting... Quote Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Whaley will probably step in and take Will's place. Quote Link to comment
shyndy Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 my prediction is may because well need someone with experience to be the ring leader Quote Link to comment

epocSoN Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 this could be a blessing in disguise guys. Lets stay positive. Not to do the complete opposite of what you just said but... how could it be a blessing when somebody gets hurt? Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 From ESPN By David Ubben ESPN.com Nebraska middle linebacker Will Compton suffered a foot injury on Thursday and will be out "for some time," coach Bo Pelini said. The team expects to know more about Compton's status in the coming days, but it is the second major blow for the Huskers linebackers this preseason. Sean Fisher, who was competing for a starting spot, suffered a broken leg earlier in camp and will miss the season. Compton, a sophomore took over as the starter at middle linebacker last season as a redshirt freshman. The 6-foot-2, 225-pounder started eight games and made 40 tackles, appearing in all 14 games of his first season on the field. Nebraska opens its season at home against Western Kentucky on Saturday.

Minnesota_husker Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I would rather this happen now than before KSU or Texas... get these LB some experience in the games against our weaker opponents. WKU has a stud at RB, and this will test the LB crew. If Rainey can get through the front 4, some damage could be done here. I'm not too worried. Quote Link to comment
Nexus Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 The Will Compton injury was obviously the big news of the day. All the other stuff is of minor note. Here's just a few extra nuggets to pass along from Thursday's practice: Sophomore offensive lineman Brandon Thompson will be held out of the game with injury. Husker head coach Bo Pelini said it's not serious and expects Thompson to be at full strength early next week. True freshman Chase Rome, who is making a bid to possibly play this season, also won't be available due to an undisclosed injury. “He’s fine,” Pelini said. “He won’t be out long.” ***** The Huskers will not host any official recruiting visitors this week. That's not that unusual for a season-opening week. "Most players have a lot going on," Pelini said. "They’re just starting their seasons so it’s not usually a very good time. We have a few unofficial (visits) but that’s about it." ***** While Pelini knows there will be plenty of room for improvement after Saturday’s opener, he is optimistic about what he’ll see from the eighth-ranked Huskers. While saying you never want to be too loose or relaxed, he did add: "I expect us to play well." LINK Quote Link to comment
