Mavric Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 Cav was quoted again the other day saying there's still a big gap between the 1s and 2s. I guess we'll have to hope it's not that bad. Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 would Barnett step up in Fosters place probably? Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 They've talked him up a decent amount lately so I'm sure he'll get a shot. Not sure how set they are on playing one side or the other but I would think Whitaker will get a look as well. Quote Link to comment
bugeater17 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Perhaps Raridon gets a more serious look at burning a RS now? Quote Link to comment
HuskerExpat Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Perhaps Raridon gets a more serious look at burning a RS now? Sounds like Boe Wilson is getting a shot to make his case for burning RS.... 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I'm guessing Wilson is getting the look instead of Raridon in part due to size. In their recruiting profiles, Raridon was 258 while Wilson was 290. (Per 247) This Foster injury really sucks. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I am assuming Hannon just isn't panning out as we hoped? Quote Link to comment
darkhorse85 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I'm guessing Wilson is getting the look instead of Raridon in part due to size. In their recruiting profiles, Raridon was 258 while Wilson was 290. (Per 247) This Foster injury really sucks. Huskers.com has Raridon and Wilson listed at 275 and 295 respectively. Even if he actually is 275 that's still a tad small for me at guard. Sounds like Boe is the way to go for now. Line injuries are the worst, especially when your best option for next man up is a true freshman. I hope it works out. Quote Link to comment
bugeater17 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Has Utter been taking any reps at LG? Decker looked pretty good in the spring game and ready to step up at C if Wilson doesn't look ready at LG- IMO. Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Once again this is another example of why coaches must play the second and third string guys in games. You can't run a college football program like an NFL team with half a dozen back ups for a dozen spots. You need at least 5 tackles and 5 guards and 3 centers ready to go each fall. A couple of those guys must be ready to swap positions in addition. You can lose three starters before the second game kicks off. You build a winning team, like any other structure or organization, from the ground up. The foundation is the O line and D line. Most agree with this. We are apparently about 4 scholarship linemen away from where we should be. We better get some more walk ons and build them up to contribute at least about 15 snaps a game. One guard goes down and there seems to be panic. Nonsense. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Ummm...actually two guards went down (Foster, Barnett) so we are talking about the third string guy. This is also just the guard on one side. We still have Farmer and Whitaker on the other side along with other freshmen. Nobody is panicking. The injuries suck. I'm confident the staff will find guys to fill the spots. Quote Link to comment
