Moiraine Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Robin Washut @RobinWashut 1h1 hour ago As expected, both Ameer Abdullah and Josh Mitchell were suited up for Tuesday's full-pads practice. #Huskers I thought the first team defense wears blackshirts? I never heard whether they'd been handed out yet this season. Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Heather Dinich @CFBHeather 51m51 minutes ago In order to stop Ameer Abdullah, Spartans first have to catch him: Abdullah has gained 546 of his FBS-leading 833 yds before contact. With ZERO yards after contact, Ameer would still be Top-15 in rushing yards. #PIPELINE 5 Quote Link to comment
SouthAfricanHusker Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Rain on a grass field could really hurt us as it may negate our speed advantage, but help us against their passing attack. edit: Just realized I sound like Corso before '96 Fiesta...hahahahahahaha. Not real good on that analysis, Lee. I guess if something is repeated enough it becomes fact. But say our guy runs a 4.4 and theirs a 4.6. It's not like rain will make both guys run a 4.6. It will slow both guys. That's why Corsos rant before the bowl game didn't come to fruition. Rain will make it harder for linemen to gain traction. That can be a way to overcome superior talent against you or to exploit a weaker opponent. In general it leads to a lot more stalemates. We should see some grinding runs wih occasional big breaks if it does rain brought it the game. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Robin Washut @RobinWashut 3m3 minutes ago Pelini said freshman WR Glenn Irons suffered a meniscus tear in his knee and would be out for the season. #Huskers Not that it affects this game as he's redshirting anyway. Really like what Irons brings. He's probably as fast as DPE - maybe not quite as shifty. But they will be a great combo for the next three years. Quote Link to comment

RedRex Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 On the grass issue, I wonder how long they'll let it grow. I remember one year at Mizzou it was so long JMitchell would've gotten lost in it. Quote Link to comment

I remember one year at Mizzou it was so long JMitchell would've gotten lost in it. Can we stop with the grass height. Plus, you know long grass can be an issue for DB's right? Michigan States corners are on islands. Nothing like swiveling your hips and turning your legs with fast WR's when the grass is tall. Quote Link to comment

Yea it's not like that if the grass is long that ONLY Nebraska has to deal with it. Just like the rain, both teams will be affected. Quote Link to comment
Roger Dorn Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 So since MSU is a pro-style, power run team, we will probably play a good amount of time in the 4-3. Who does everyone think the 3 lb's will be? I'm guessing our top 3 will be Banderas, Roach and Zaire. That would mean that one of the MIKE would slide out though, hindering our speed.

Count 'Bility Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Now that that theyve settled on a very good qb, have depth at receiver, and Langdon not bein as much of a thumper back as theyve had, sparty has actually been using a lot of more spread sets. And i think thats good for us. At thise point the fewer linebackers we have to use the better Quote Link to comment
