Good stuff
Really nothing we haven't already read from the local papers, but I thought it merited posting. I like the news on Ruud's continued development at the strongside position.
Also, if you read the piece about Oklahoma State, it appears the D-coordinator is trying to rip off the practice of giving out Blackshirts. Another piece of high comedy is OSU sports marketers calling the Cowboy's offense as "the most powerful offense in the world." Apparently Pacman Jones lent them some of his stash.
"The Cornhuskers have announced a $4 per game hike in season tickets, which will mean a per game average of $52 per home game this season. Part of the reason is an increased guarantee to nonconference opponents. "We've got to pay what we've got to pay," Nebraska athletic director Steve Pederson told the Omaha World-Herald. "It wasn't too many years ago we were talking about $250,000, sometimes $300,000 [per game]. Now, we're getting up to $750,000 per game."
Andre Jones has emerged as the likely replacement for injured CB Zack Bowman. But Nebraska defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove is insisting that Bowman will be back before the Cornhuskers' Sept. 1 opener against Nevada. LB Bo Ruud is thriving after moving from the weakside to strongside starting position. The move has opened starting positions for Ruud and Steve Octavien and also heightened Ruud's playmaking abilities. "It's a different thing schematically, but it's given me a chance to show my versatility. I'll do a wide variety of things and it's exciting to have that opportunity." Octavien is receiving some work at rush end in some formations this spring.
QB Sam Keller said that whoever emerges as the Cornhuskers' starting quarterback will benefit from the Cornhuskers' talented group of wide receivers, including Todd Peterson, Frantz Hardy, Terrence Nunn, Maurice Purify and Nate Swift. "You've got some guys who can really make plays," Keller said. "We've got five guys who can really produce. They all have their own strengths and it's going to be interesting to see how they are used." Ndamukong Suh has switched from nose tackle to the Cornhuskers' other starting defensive tackle slot for some snaps. "It gives you an overall view of what the front has to do as a whole," Suh told the Lincoln Journal-Star about the experiment. "That's an excellent thing to have multiple players on your front to play different positions."
I-back Cody Glenn has been hampered after aggravating his injured right ankle. K Jordan Congdon has left the Nebraska program for family reasons, returning to his home in San Diego. He is expected to transfer to Southern California, but must redshirt next season. His departure has opened the door for replacements Alex Henery and Jake Wesch, who are getting most of the work. Scholarship recruit Adi Kunalic will arrive in August. "
