Warrior10 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I think these two positions deserve a mention. 1. Special teams coverage. The Illinois guy was leading nation in return average....they shut him down. And everyone else so far this year. Much better than in the past. 2. Oline pass protection. We are tied for 2nd in nation in sacks (2 I believe). We bashed these guys a lot for this is past. Their hard work in off-season paying off. Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 There was definitely a lot of good that came out of that game. I was worried about our kick coverage because of their return man but we seemed to keep him in check pretty nicely. Quote Link to comment

Can we contribute this to a position switch of a coach with a mustache? Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 1. Special teams coverage. The Illinois guy was leading nation in return average....they shut him down. And everyone else so far this year. Much better than in the past. Not only great kick coverage but great kicker (kicking off, anyway ). Pretty well out of the end zone all year unless kicking into the wind and even then he's pretty good. Quote Link to comment

I won't get into coaching speculation but I think a major contributor was the switch to two groups getting reps in practice at the beginning of last year. Lots more reps to go around has to help get people ready. We'll see if it hold up in November. Quote Link to comment

Going to be a lot of new faces on the OL next season. Its really unfortunate about Alex Lewis. Kid could help us next year. Hope sh#t works itself out. But I suppose he made his choice. Not at all above second chances and it doesn't appear Bo is either. Quote Link to comment

Not at all above second chances and it doesn't appear Bo is either. We'll be fine I think. OT will be a question but hearing good things about Sterup and Finnin was the real deal, have high hopes for Knevel too. Cotton/Moudy/Price at Guard, Pelini/Kondolo at Center. Not sure where Reeves and Thurston ended up, but they are potential contributors though. Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Reeves and Thurston will both be given a shot at center, however I think Pelini wins that spot and They both play guard. I need to see Flinn get a ton more game reps before I feel comfortable. Really hope Matt gets another year of eligibility back as he should. Sterup is probably our most athletic OT and that's due to his basketball background. There is talent there no question. But very limited experience. I really hope we can get a lot of guys in the next few games. I don't want the OL to be like the DL this year; young, talented, but inexperienced. Quote Link to comment
deedsker Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I love not see three false starts and two holding calls in the same drive. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Mauro Bondi. On kickoffs. 5 touchbacks out of 9 kickoffs. Now PATs is a different story. Quote Link to comment
