Actual Spring Practice Updates

[Warrior10]

A highlight-reel catch for tight end Cethan Carter came toward the end of Monday’s practice. Using only his right hand, he reached around the linebacker that was draped all over him and hauled in a lob pass down the sideline.

An under-the-radar name having a good spring w/ reserves? WR Lane Hovey, who is 6-4, 210 and has pretty nice burst after the catch. #Huskers

Papuchis said redshirt freshman Marcus Newby is “probably a year away” from making an impact at linebacker — given what Newby needs to learn and the number of already seasoned guys he’d have to surpass on the depth chart. But Newby’s found a role rushing off the edge.

 

“It gets us as fast as we possibly can be with he and Randy (Gregory) on opposite sides,”

Come on man! That combo will make offensive coordinators have nightmares. I can still remember the results of Super D in 2003. TFL, Sacks, fumbles caused etc Super D's stats were crazy that year. Not saying Newby will be THAT GOOD, but double RG at your peril and free Newby to speed rush. I like it.

Side note: Both Beck and Papuchis spoke to the media today. So the hand-wringing over the "one voice" policy can stay on the shelf for now.

Not so worried about now, but we will see during the season. But, I really think Bo needs to let assistants talk to the media during the season. Take a page out of Miles' book Bo.

Can't quote from my tablet for some reason... but Armstrong should probably can the "no one can stop us" stuff until after games like Michigan St. do not happen.

 

And Iowa. And UCLA. And Minnesota. Though those were TMart and Ronny games. They're somewhat indicative of the system.

 

But then again, Michigan St. was mostly us beating us... sadly, par for Bo's course.

I like it. He leads from the front, owns up to his mistake and appears to be the vocal leader of the team. I think his meaning is simply, if we are one, we can't be beat. The only way to lose is beat ourselves type thing. I don't read to much into it. No TO's against MSU and we win that game last year IMO.

Why shouldn't he say that stuff? That was last year and this is this year. That's like saying the defense can't be confident because they crapped the bed for most of the season.

I like the swagger and confidence. Look at the good teams, the FSU's, Bama, OSU, etc. They have the cockiest players out there, and they weren't that way just b/c they are winners now, they have always been that way. As much as I really don't like those guys, I like the humble ones, you have to have the talkers and confident ones to not settle. Be the best.

He's taking a page out of Saban and Fisher's book right now. Who knows if it means anything.

Mile's book? Bo has always let his assistants, more particular Paps and Beck, talk to the media.

When I read it I was reminded of the "we're gonna score 60 points a game"-type quote we usually get from Jamal Turner this time of year.

 

On the other hand, I have no issue with anyone talking big, as long as they back it up.

[Danny Bateman]

HeyBurke, I basically agree with the Dude above. If they can go out and back it up, great. Especially from a QB. Confidence is good.

 

But, for years now, they haven't backed it up. They've had mind numbing mistakes and poor calls at the worst times that have killed our offense when it looked to be gaining steam during games. Some of that falls on Beck and some on the players executing poorly.

 

But the fact remains that we have a lot of moments each season where we question why our offense isn't living up with what we think their potential is. I'm sure all teams do. But the best teams seem to be very clutch and just get it done when it matters most. Sometimes we seem to me to be anti-clutch.

 

Oh well. New year. We'll see what Tommy can do.

MSU couldn't stop us. We literally just handed them the football 5 times. Prevent 2 unforced turnovers and we win the game.

 

I don't have a problem with swagger, it just needs to show up during the games.

Excellence at all times
