Paul in WI Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Congrats to Ameer! His performance has certainly been worthy of the attention. Honestly, I can't remember a time when we've been so loaded with outstanding freshman talent as we are this year. Quote Link to comment

kchusker_chris Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 David's 56ish tackes don't really hold a candle to Kuechly's 99 though. I don't really think it's a matter of him being off pace of last year, it's just a fact that there are 3 other guys who from a stats perspective (and that's 75% of these things) are blowing him away.

flatwaterfan Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 David is 3rd in the b1g in tackles. There are 2 iowa lb's in front of him. The team has a very heavy dose of B1g defensive line people so maybe that's another reason why they didn't go with David. I really don't understand why they have Upshaw picked. He has 18 tackles for the season. EIGHTEEN. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Abdullah's going to have a great tenure as a Husker, for sure as a kick return specialist if not as a running back as well. How many times has he given our offense great field position? That's going to be huge once our defense gets everything sorted out. Totally agree about David, though. David has been solid as a rock so far this season, even when the rest of the defense hasn't. we are gonna need some help next year when this stud is gone........ Quote Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 No Andrew Green?!?! WTF!!! He was announced 'next to be picked' right behind Cassidy. haha yeah probably also behind Sean Fisher Quote Link to comment
Red Tape Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Kudos to Ameer, that kids is electric with the ball. Like the Hester of the NCAA. Won't be long and we'll see a lot of squib kicks. Maybe, or they'll kick it to Marlowe. Which brings up a good point - Nebraska has the #1/#2 (depending on the week) Kickoff Returner in the country. The kid has already taken one to the house and has another over 60 yards, and who-knows-how-many over 30 yards. So why are people still kicking to him? Why not kick it to Marlowe? Not complaining, just kind of scratching my head. Of course, Marlowe has speed to burn anyone as well, so if they don't have good coverage he's gone, too. Apparently people just want to see if the Freshman will screw up. He muffed the first kickoff of the year, and one punt, but otherwise he's been stellar. I was wondering this after the first 2 games. If you watch closely, Unless the ball is kicked clear to Marlowe's side of the field (risking a possible kick out of bounds), Abdullah will return it. It's not the ol' 50/50 split "If it lands on my half I get it." Quote Link to comment
