RockyMountainOySker Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I voted for a number of people as getting as many of the oguys on the field in a blow out is extremely important. However, from the provided list, I feel it is MOST important for Carnes, Mitchell, and Harvey Jackson to see the field. Build for the future. Quote Link to comment
Igetbored216 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I picked Carnes, Heard, and Mitchell. Carnes is pretty obvious. I think it's always good to see what you have backing up the starting QB if something were to happen. I really like Heard and picked him because Ameer Abdullah was not on the list. I really want to see what Ameer can do at the RB position because since his arrival, I have always thought he has the "it" factor. I really believe he can be something very special (and not just as a returner). But I also like Heard and since I think we need to build some depth at the RB position, I picked him. Mitchell has really great potential and I think he can be the next great CB to come out of Nebraska. I know he has made some mental mistakes, but he is also only a rFr.. As far as I can see, he is going to be a special player by the time he leaves Nebraska. I really hope Saturday is a blowout, however based on the team's results in previously dubbed "blowout" games (SDSU, Iowa St, Kansas), I definitely have my doubts that it will be.

JJ Husker Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Or the less obvious choice "our backups and not Minn's backups." I guess it is fairly safe to assume, if it's a blowout, it will be in our favor. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Has Bondi played at all this year or is he redshirting? I haven't been paying attention at all, so if he's the one who has been doing kick offs then I deserve a silly slap. Either way, I sort of wish we would utilize more people when it comes to kicking extra points. I don't see why only one guy should be given all the extra point opportunities especially if it's late in the game and we have a good lead. Bring in a young guy to kick a point or two before the season ends. Quote Link to comment
ZRod Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Voted for everyone but Blatchford, just never been thrilled with him when he's on the field yet. Basically it would be nice to see all the young guys get in there and get some reps, especially Heard coming of of his infection. And hopefully if some of the walk-ons traveled get them out there to and reward them for putting in their time. And one you didn't include that I would really like to see get more reps is Trevor Roach. I thought he showed some promise early in the year and I've just been waiting for him to bump Fisher off.

Bring in a young guy to kick a point or two before the season ends. As far as I can tell, Bondi has been in on three kickoffs. I'd hate to have burned his shirt for so little time. I'm also getting very concerned with the amount of touches we're getting to our Freshman RB trio. I still think one of them should have redshirted. Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Can I throw out Marcus Mendoza's name? Talk about a guy who has put the team in front of himself! His attitude alone should get hims some playing time! Also, with the struggles of the defensive backfield, why not give him a try? Quote Link to comment

Agreed, considering Rex is only a Junior we should've redshirted at least 1 if not 2 of them. Quote Link to comment

I think it was part of their recruiting pitch and now they're just honoring the promise. Quote Link to comment

sd'sker Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 where's bobby newcombe? knapplc, where's bobby newcombe, just tell me where's bobby newcombe (in my best d'angelo voice, of 'the wire', of course). Quote Link to comment
La Volpe Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 If a ton of backups get in on offense, I'd like to see Beck not call pitch left, pitch right for every freshman running back we have. And to actually give Carnes meaningful snaps. Handing off and pitching are necessary of course, but so is actually being an actual quarterback. 1 Quote Link to comment
