tattooedhusker Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 go f'ing figure they deserve one of these Quote Link to comment
BLKSHIRTD Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 where did you get that list from? Cuase if anything Mckeon should be on that list. Quote Link to comment
Foppa Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 They must be waiting for the murder-death-kill numbers from the Blackshirts this season before they jump to any conclusions. In the words of Metallica... Quote Link to comment
Alex 4.0 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 welll they cant really say octavien, almost like saying an incoming freshman should be on the list, even though we all know that he is anything but. Mckeon was a pretty big stud last year... I think that we will see a couple huskers on the post season list. The best thing about mckeon was that he seemed to lead my example and his enthusiasm flooded through our D, even after the play was over he would run to the guy who made the tackle to give a congratulatory chest bump and helmet slap Quote Link to comment
ttheKid1*18 Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 It's from collegefootballnews.com. A lot of people across the country like him, and I thought he would at least be in the Top 30 linebackers. Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Rey Maualuga didn't even start last year for USC. They are basing him all off of potential. McKeon actually proved something on the field last year. Quote Link to comment
ttheKid1*18 Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 McKeon will have a great year, and people will regret not naming him one of the top linebackers. That USC game will be the coming out party for the linebacking core as a whole. They'll be flying all over the field, making plays. Quote Link to comment
Foppa Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Rey Maualuga didn't even start last year for USC. They are basing him all off of potential. McKeon actually proved something on the field last year. Yeah, but they're USC. The feel good thing right now. At least that's the gospel according to ESPN. :hmmm Quote Link to comment
T-BONE Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Phil Steele has Corey McKeon as the 3rd best Inside Linebacker in his football preview. Phil Steele as has Bo Rudd as the 11th best Outside Linebacker. He also ranks out Linebackers 4th best unit in the country! Quote Link to comment

He had a team-high eight tackles, including five solo, and also recovered a fumble on Arkansas' opening series that set up a Trojan touchdown and then forced another fumble.

Rivers started all of 2005 when he posted 52 tackles and was an All-Pac-10 honorable mention selection. Quote Link to comment
