Fall Camp Notes

[The Dude]

No two a days. I'll never forget the hell that was two a days. Bet they're happy about that.

An early morning practice and an evening practice was the worst. An hour break between morning practices was the way to go.

Did anybody else hear that Tommy Armstrong was not allowed to call his own audibles until the Holiday Bowl last year?

That was news to me.

Curious where you saw this. If he wasn't audibling, he - and the rest of the team - did a great job of making it look like he was audibling on many occasions.

I agree. I always thought he was audibling.

Eh, I think saying that was the first time he could audible is over-selling what Armstrong said. That's what the studio guy said but I didn't get that from what Armstrong said. Sounds like he was definitely given more freedom for the bowl game but I don't think that means he was never allowed to before, necessarily. Just not as much.

Is there a list of the 105 roster somewhere?

This is the latest from huskers.com. I think there are 140 guys listed: LINK

Thanks. I was looking for the 105 man roster.

Thanks. The reason I asked is I wanted to know what Walkons they brought in.

Despite not having two-a-day practices, Kieron Williams said the fall camp days are a lot longer this year. Players are around the stadium from about 9:30 am to 9:30 pm between practice, meetings and workouts.

It seems a bit odd that Snyders name has not been mentioned at all.

Sounds like the defense totally shut down the offense during most of the scrimmage portion of practice. Doesn't sound like the offense could do much if anything for the last 45 minutes of practice. In particular, Collins sounds like he almost single-handedly blew up a bunch of plays, especially third-and-long type situations.

 

[Mavric]

Sounds like the offense was mainly working on passing plays tonight. When they did run, it was still a lot of zone-read looks.

 

[Mavric]

The Huskers have been installing plays each of the days, which can be a taxing mental exercise.


"It's good to look back on all four installs just because we put them all in four days in a row," said Armstrong, the projected starter.

He said there hasn't been much time for review.

Husker offensive coordinator Danny Langsdorf said he would like to see more overall consistency, and more completions on deep passes.

"We're overthrowing guys here and there when they beat their (defensive backs) one-on-one," Armstrong said. "When there are plays to be made, we have to make sure we deliver the ball."

Wide receiver Lane Hovey had noticed something that brings excitement to the wide receiver group.


“It seems like there are just more pass plays in general,” Hovey said. “I’m not sure what the percentages will be by game plan, but it just seems like we’re throwing the ball a lot, which is exciting for us.”

Hovey, a junior from Adel, Iowa, said he has been playing at each of the wide receiver spots, as have most of the others in the group. The receivers can be grouped in lots of different ways.

“I think that’s something that in the past Coach (Mike) Riley has been known for doing is having a lot of different packages, and stuff like that, because that just adds another layer that the defense has to know and focus on,” Hovey said.

I hadn't thought about that until you mentioned it. I haven't seen him mentioned at all.

Of course, the only one I had seen mentioned was Carter until tonight when Trey Foster got a nod for a nice catch.

I know janovich started as a walk on but I thought he was put on scholarship, wonder why he's listed as a walk on while a guy like Fyfe isn't

As far as I know, Janovich is not on scholarship. Fyfe was last year, though his status for this year seems to be in question.
