I would have definitely pegged him as someone who could earn a few snaps as a true freshman. Yes, he battled injuries in high school and is injured this year. Quote Link to comment

You'd like to see some development at the position eventually. Tannor? Nothing. Nelson? Only a sophmore, but plays very undisciplined. Payne looks promising, but not sure how much credit Nebraska deserves for that. I had made the assumption Gunnerson was going to be in full "rehab mode" this season after his hip surgery. Fingers crossed that went well and he can start to contribute a little more in 2021. Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 2 hours ago, Mavric said: Others at OLB would be Alston and Niko Cooper (sophomores) then Javin Wright Blaise Gunnerson, Jimari Butler and Isaac Gifford (freshmen). Nick Henrich had been inside then got moved outside to start this year and is now back inside after Miller's injury so he could be either. Hannah was inside last I knew. They were pretty high on Wright but he is out for the year with an injury. Cooper and Alston have a ways to go, imo. The others are true freshmen so we'll see in a year or two. Alston will never play a down here. 1 Quote Link to comment

Was he a Frost recruit or just a holdover from Riley recruiting him and Frost honored the commitment? Quote Link to comment

Husker03 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Not going to lie, I am most excited about this because it means that maybe Chinander isn't beyond salvaging and that would ultimately be a huge boon for our program. If our DC somehow can work out here at a top level and continue to build and his scheme can work with the right players, consistency in coaching staff on that side of the ball would be a huge positive for us moving forward. I know people hate him, but those people like to use stats to validate that view. Can't then ignore stats when the stats improve with upgraded athletes at the LB position. And yes, he still lacks an edge rusher.. If we can do this with a bunch of underclassman and no edge rusher....Worth giving props where they belong, imo. And also more time to build. 4 Quote Link to comment
hunter49 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 there were a lot of missed tackles and overall poor tackling, i was not impressed, gave up too many big plays, kickoff protection sucked too. 1 Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 @Husker03 I'll be honest, I have not been a fan of Chin, but the D won the game against PSU.....I think they were also the deciding factor against Purdue as well. So 2 wins, IMHO, more a testament to the D than the O. I'd like to see an edge rusher (who wouldn't), blitz the safety from closer than the next zip code and play more press coverage. I'm hoping when we get a team of guys like JoJo, CTB, Stille and Williams (I like his attitude) the D will look much better. Scheme tweak, continue to recruit and DEVELOP and the D looks light years better. 1 Quote Link to comment
Husker03 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 *knocks on wood* I am also starting, and I mean just barely starting, to find I actually have some trust in this defense. After the final Pelini years, Riley years, and the past 2 years, it has been a loooooonnnngggg time since I have watched games where we need our defense to step up and I was not completely filled with dread. I like this feeling a lot better, it borders on confidence this year. I hope it continues to become a trend. 3 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 It starts up front and I really like the direction our front 7 are headed. 5 Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 This was nice especially against a guy like Bell one of the best WR's in the B1G. 1 Quote Link to comment
Farms Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 @BigRedBuster Im still not super confident about our linebacker situation but I hope Henrich ends up living up to the hype and Gifford can become Domann 2.0. Also hopefully Javin Wright can make a big difference there if that switch ends up working out. Quote Link to comment
