desertshox Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 1 hour ago, BlitzFirst said: I'd say your CB is wrong. PFF has our two CB's as some of the top graded in the entire conference. LB could be a push as well this year...remember our LB's put up those stats in a transition year going to the 3-4. They're going to make a major leap this year. didnt banker and diaco both run 3-4 d's? or were they transitioning back to playing d? Quote Link to comment
Husker03 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 1 hour ago, everybody knows my name said: Evidently I've underestimated my team's tight ends group this year. I knew that Brevyn Spann-Ford was highly regarded, but our staff seems to think he's special. http://www.startribune.com/brevyn-spann-ford-emerges-as-potential-breakout-player-for-gophers/550222182/ And since you throw to your tight ends 6 times a season, this has me running scared. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Did you expect nothing at all? Haha. On that note, 20 catches and 4 tds would be a special year compared to what you've been getting. Quote Link to comment

Nah, Banker ran a 4-3, with a lot of quarters coverage. His scheme was a little like Michigan State's, except s#!tty. 1 Quote Link to comment

He is the better pro-prospect, but JD beats him in overall production in the last two years, and last years stats comparison would have been even closer had JD not gotten hurt. In addition, you add Noa and Wandale. Nebraska just has better overall prospects down the line that if they play to their potential or close to it, they get the nod. Also, despite Stanley having 1,000 yards last year, he wasn't the best fit for the O. Nebraska will be just fine without him. That's because he's not.... At RB, there is no question that production favors the Minnesota backs, but I wouldn't trade our guys for the Gophers' going into the season. Washington has more skill on any back on their roster. 1 Quote Link to comment

This was going to be my second point. It is only a matter of time until Nebraska runs away with that as well. Talent wise, Nebraska is in the top 2-3 of the conference. Quote Link to comment
Courtesy Flush Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 This is what sets Scott Frost apart from all other coaches in my opinion. He was the key note speaker at the Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders conference hosted by US Strategic Command at Offutt, AFB. Humble, well spoken and wise. Quote Link to comment

Pedro G Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I will admit I don’t know a great deal about this upcoming Minnesota team. All I know is Nebraska has a very high ceiling with potential. I tend to think Minnesota doesn’t have as high of one, but I could be wrong. Some of it will be realized, and some may not. RB certainly has a lot with Mills (although he has already shown some at Georgia Tech), Robinson and Johnson. We already know about Washington if he plays. WR potential is huge. Again with Robinson, maybe Williams, Hunt, Mcquity, Jones, and possibly even Houston. We already know about Noa and Spielman. If much of this team’s potential is realized, I could see a 10 and 2 team but 9 and 3 wouldn’t surprise me. Quote Link to comment
