Sea of Red Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 According to Severe: Oline struggling with Dline. Big drop off from 1st team to 2nd team....except for Foster "He's special". Yay about Foster. Hopefully this statement says a lot about our Dline...otherwise... Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 It's just after a couple practices. Defense many times is ahead of the offense at this point. Especially learning a new system. 1 Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 First team Oline: Lewis Utter Reeves Kondolo Sterup Based upon ? Is this just a prediction? Really surprised by Sterup maintaining the RT spot. If he's the best we got though, credit to him. He must've worked on his hips and his footwork over the offseason because the dude was a statue out ther last year. Good for him if he keeps it. Should have clarified...that is who Severe said was the 1st team oline was. If Sterup was as banged up as it sounds like he was last year I am willing to give him a fresh chance this year.

Warrior10 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Brian Rosenthal @HuskerExtraBR 20s20 seconds ago At RT, Nick Gates and Zach Sterup are "in a good battle," Lansgdorf said. Noted true frosh Christian Gaylord moving between tackles. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 First team Oline: Lewis Utter Reeves Kondolo Sterup Second team: Knevel Foster Thurston Price Gates Quote Link to comment
girlknowsfootball Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 We need tackles badly. We lose Finnin, Kondolo, Lewis, Price, Reeves, & Sterup after this season. I like our committed interior guys for 2016 but we need 3-4 solid OT's BADLY. Let's hope for Farniok, Anchrum, Allen, and Alaric. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Alex Lewis has secured the left tackle spot, but he didn't have a strong practice Sunday night, struggling at times with Jack Gangwish. At left guard, Dylan Utter has worked mostly with the 1s, but Jerald Foster, playing with the 2s, has been dominant at times. He's stronger and quicker than the guys he's facing on the No. 2 defense, and it'd be interesting to see him square off more often with Kevin Williams and/or Vincent Valentine when he returns. Foster appears, at least to me, to be Nebraska's most athletic guard. At center, Ryne Reeves and Paul Thurston are rotating. Reeves may have a slight advantage, but that's presuming full health through camp, which is uncertain with Reeves. Both are better snappers than their predecessor at center, Mark Pelini, who played mostly for his smarts in line calls. Right guard belongs to Chongo Kondolo. He needs to work on his false starts. Kondolo is strong and may surprise some defensive linemen this year with his punch. Like Thurston and Reeves, it's surprising Kondolo didn't play more last year. His backup is Givens Price, who slid inside from tackle. Corey Whitaker, Tanner Farmer and Zach Hannon are behind the quartet at guard, with Hannon needing to improve in a hurry. At right tackle, Nick Gates may be a little short, but he's a good run blocker and remember: Right tackle is where he played at Las Vegas Bishop Gorman High School. Gates is aggressive and he can move pretty well. Gates filled in for Zach Sterup Sunday once Sterup got dinged up. That position for grabs. Matt Finnin and David Knevel are in the mix, as well. LINK Sounds like left tackle (Lewis) and right guard (Kondolo) might be the only positions where we have a solid #1. We'll probly see Sterup at right tackle, Utter at left guard and Reeves at center. But really it sounds like these last spots are up for grabs. Quote Link to comment

ColoradoHusk Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Really sounds like Chongo has stepped up. Or he's trying to get the bad taste of the practice out of his mouth. I applaud guys putting in extra work, but it may be due to him struggling in practice, which is a concern. Quote Link to comment

Maliek Collins will be one of the best guys he faces this year. Maybe *the* best. Quote Link to comment
