International Man of Mystery
The state of the football team, 10/15/12, as told by local sports dudes via Twitter:
@HuskerExtraSip
#Huskers senior WR Tim Marlowe says he's cleared to play Saturday. Cleared for full contact today.
Rex Burkhead didn't practice last week but was out at practice cheering team on, Tim Marlowe says.
Marlowe, on #Huskers offense: "We can be the best in the country at times when we take care of the football." And limit penalties, he said.
Tim Marlowe set for return Saturday. Says he will work in the slot along with Jamal Turner.
Ameer Abdullah says #Huskers "have played very average up to this point." Too many turnovers, penalties on offense, he said.
The win-out theme has taken hold. "That's what we're all about right now," Abdullah said.
Ohio State really shut down Nebraska's kickoff returns. "I feel we got beat physically at the point of attack," Abdullah said.
T. Martinez, on fumbles in pocket: It's kind of hard, he said, when a defender is coming from behind and he doesn't know the guy is coming."
Bo Pelini said his team was "quiet" during bye week. Quiet and angry. "I wanted an angry team, and I think that's what I got right now."
Bo Pelini, on the win-out discussion: "If you win out, you control your own destiny. That's what I meant." (after Ohio State game).
Defending spread vs. defending pro style: Mistakes against spread offenses get magnified, especially against running QBs, Pelini said.
Rex Burkhead doing well. Had really good weekend. Will be eased into practice this week, Pelini said.
Nebraska won't alter pace of offense to help defense, Pelini said.
"I like where we are heading into this game. I think our guys will respond in the right way," Pelini said.
Pelini philosophical: Everybody wants to win. The key is doing what you have to do to achieve wins. In other words, execute.
@HuskerExtraBC
"I wanted an angry team (during the bye) and I think that's what I got," Pelini said.
"This is a humbling sport and you have to have tremendous respect for the game that we play," Pelini said.
Alonzo Whaley told me #Husker players did hold a players-only meeting last week after the debacle in Columbus.
"To be on the same page as your colleagues is a big deal because you never know what someone else is thinking," Whaley said.

No material changes to the Nebraska depth chart heading into Northwestern.
Pelini will not change offense. Defensive personnel will stay the same. Nebraska will do what it's been doing - only try to do it better.
@JonNyatawa
Nebraska's 4-1 after bye weeks under Bo Pelini (2 byes in '08). 10-4 after a same-season loss
Oh yeah. My bad. 11-4 after an L under Bo RT @rocky83095: @JonNyatawa 11-4 counting UCLA this year.

Bo, on Kain Colter, "He's dangerous as a qb, good as a wr. You've got to be prepared to deal with Kain no matter where he lines up."
Bo, on NW 2qb system: "You just don't see it alot. I'm not exactly sure why they do it. They obviously must like both qbs."
Bo:"In life you have to get hit in mouth to pick up your resolve and get back to the realization that it's not just going to happen for me."
Bo: "One of the great challenges you have as a fb coach, How do you get 140 guys every week going in the exact same direction?"
Bo: "I'm not taking anything away from Braxton Miller or anybody else, but you have to make plays when you get there."
Bo, on Neb's struggle vs. mobile QBs: "If someone screws up in non-spread it's easier for someone to make up for you."
Bo says Rex Burkhead "feeling good" and that he'll be eased into regular workload as week continues.
Bo: "It's drawn up to work.At end of day, if our players aren't executing it falls on me and the coaches."
Bo says he has no plans to slow offense and get out of no huddle in attempt to help out the defense.
Bo :"What I've never done is panick in this situation... I kinda like where we are heading into this game. Our guys will respond right way."
