Husker_x Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Simple thread topic: What do you most hope to see at the Tennessee Chattanooga game this Saturday? Or what will you be paying most attention to? Mine are, in no particular order... *What will the offense look like? I expect a heaping pile of option. *Limited penalties. A lot of young players are getting their first live action on Saturday, but still, this is a big one. *Ball security. I'll be having heartburn if I start to get the impression that we're in for a '10 repeat performance in this category. Other than that, I don't expect to be able to know how good the line(s) are going to be against this opponent. They're going to flatten them. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I think we will keep it pretty vanilla and shouldn't have a problem doing what we want. I want to see the freshmen out there. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I hope that they do in fact run the offense that they plan to run. What I mean is, we have heard they didnt show a thing in the spring game and that what they ran that day was nothing like what the offense really is. After awhile, I feel you really need to start running the offense you are going to rely on all year. I am not a huge believer in trying to save your offense for big games. Run your offense see how teams are adjusting to it and adjust from that. Try to stay one step ahead. I understand that many coaches do not want to put "things on film" for other teams and that is fine. My thinking is, if you put it on film and watch it later, you get to see how the defense adjusted, you also get to see if what the defense did on a particular play/formation worked or not. If it worked, you need to go back an make some adjustments. I think trying to hold back to much can work against you at times. Quote Link to comment
Lyons in the Sea of Red. Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I want to see something out of our oline. If there is a sack, I will be disappointed. 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedfxtoy Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I would like to see plenty of Carnes... We will need him this year and the more experience the better. 2 Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 playing time for the backup QB,7 made extra points and 2 field goals by Maher, few penalties-including no delay of game and no false starts, consistant ol domination, a td by Jamal Turner with no enzone showboating, and of course no injuries. I am asking too much? Quote Link to comment
Lyons in the Sea of Red. Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I honestly want this game to be 70-0. We haven't beatdown a team like that in a long time. Quote Link to comment
talaricohusker Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I am just looking for some young guys getting some much needed playing time on the o line and keep the turn overs down. i know this first game wont tell us much but its football right?! I hope they show most of our O. Quote Link to comment

TJ Alum Husker Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Plenty of play from our back up linebackers and DB's. They need to get some PT so we can develop quality depth. some nice catches from the receivers. Need to give the rest of the B10 something other than the run to worry about Quote Link to comment
huskerscott Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Offensively.... 0 turnovers.... very few penalties, alittle bit of the pass here and there, not zone read left/zone read right for 60 minutes. Our Oline push guys off the ball and get some pancakes, there absolutely shouldnt a Moc in the backfield all day. Defensively.... Create opportunities for turnovers, get atleast 3 or 4 sacks before calling off the dogs. There first string shouldnt have a play of 20 yards or more against our first string. Most of all play with fire, intensity, and go out there every play like there gonna rip somebodies friggin head off. Special teams.... I expect Maher and Bondi to split some of the kickoff/punting/FG duties, to find how is the best at a specific area. Same thing goes with returns Green, Marlowe, Kinnie, Turner, and whoever else split some of the time returning kicks and punts. Im sure the coaches have an idea, but what better test than in a game atmosphere Quote Link to comment
beanman Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 No penalties. Lots of playing time for the 2nd string QB and the younger players on the O-Line. No penalties. Quote Link to comment
GMoose Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I want to see if the offense really takes it to the defense like Beck is saying, rather than "taking what the defense gives you." Quote Link to comment
n.e.husker Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Id like their QB to test our young DBs, get the a good feel while fonzo is out. Quote Link to comment
