panhandle husker Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 First Saturday all season i've just sat home and watched football. Why is it that every team in the nation is playing freshmen and not us? If our freshmen aren't better than what we have on defensive(defensive line, lb) then we are scrwed. Quote Link to comment

Because Nebraska is not every team in the nation Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 You've found the miracle cure to all our ills. We need to play all the freshmen. Brilliant! 1 Quote Link to comment

What if there is a ton of talented young men on this team? How do we know? We have already seen some pretty darn good examples out there already this season when Bo decided to play some of the younger guys earlier this year. Some of them looked pretty darn good. All this sarcasm to the OP when really there is a clear trend in college football that younger highly talented guys are being thrown on the field earlier and earlier. It's happening in the NFL as well. Not only that, but wouldn't we all hope that we have some highly talented young recruits on the sideline? Aren't we hoping we have some guys just waiting to come in and light it up? I sure as hell hope so. I've heard people here saying Bo missed on a lot of guys in his first couple of recruiting classes. Let's hope he figured it out in the last few and we start to see some of these young guys shine like they are at a lot of other Universities. I don't see what there is to argue about as far as the OP is concerned. Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Alphonso Dennard We've definitely played our share of young players, but Fonzie's almost exclusively kickoff return team work probably isn't a great example of this. Rex and Cross are both freshmen who got a ton of playing time. D-Tray had his own 100-yard game, if I recall. If the freshmen are good enough, they'll play. Quote Link to comment

Lets play an entire team full of freshman because I reeeeeally want to hear people piss and moan about Bo playing nothing BUT freshman and not letting the more experienced guys play Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Yep, good post. Look at my post, as I also pointed out that Bo has shown willingness to play freshmen. Now all there is to ponder is if we would benefit from playing more? I guess we'll never know. End of story. Quote Link to comment

huskerfan92 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 We are also playing a walk-on freshman in Andy Janovich this year....so this thread is pretty pointless since we do indeed use our freshmen Quote Link to comment

I'm sure If I looked it up, I could find quite a few more. Quote Link to comment

It's about time someone mentions this! :sarcasm Quote Link to comment
