tschu Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Pretty big blow to the depth there. Never want to see guys going down before the season Quote Link to comment
HuskerNationNick Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 This is HUGE. Whether he was going to be a starter or not, this is a real big hit on our DL. No good! Quote Link to comment
HuskerNationNick Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Because I am hating all this negative news... here is something to maybe brighten this up some! http://nebraska.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1537359 Quote Link to comment
tmfr15 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 We have some options in the middle and we are going to be pretty multiple with what we do. It's not like I am saying that it doesn't hurt us at all, but with the experience these guys have overall, everybody is a bit of an unknown commodity. Let's see how they put together a defense, how they call it, and the personnel packages they use before we start talking about depth or injuries having an impact on depth. Quote Link to comment

Let's see how they put together a defense, how they call it, and the personnel packages they use before we start talking about depth or injuries having an impact on depth. Two DT positions open, and we have Curry, Valentine, Randle, and Nickens. We do have two incoming freshman, who don't know the playbook, but I wouldn't count them out. I do see Maliek Collins possibly getting some playing time, especially with Williams out. Whether these guys are experienced or not, I don't think that throws out the fact that this hurts us depth wise, and we were slim before this happened. Unless Guy or Okuyemi come out of nowhere, which I am not holding my breathe on, this hurts us. Williams was projected as getting significant playing time, by the coaches. Also, besides Randle, Williams was the most experienced DT we had. Quote Link to comment
BOurNe sUpremacy Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Testing, testing, is the mic on? Anyway, I'm new here, greetings to all Cornheads Kevin Williams out, is that like for the whole season? If so, well, I feel like my dog just died. Maybe the young bucks can compensate for the loss, but I have my doubts. Quote Link to comment

To answer your question, Pelini stated that Williams hurt his knee on Friday morning and would be sidelined for the season. Quote Link to comment

HuskerNationNick Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 It other news on Williams, Pelini said it was a clean tear, and should heal pretty good and he should be back in full speed by next season. I know we heard this before, but if the guy can do it once, he can do it again! Quote Link to comment
