"Some of it looked like football, pretty much".

I like when Coach Riley says this, and he's said it a few times how important it is that it looks like football. It seems like a simple comment but I think there's a lot to it when he says that. For me personally, I hope it means we get away from this basketball on grass mentality. Riley doesn't probably directly mean it that way but I think he means that he's looking for crispness in execution, a flow with everyone moving with a purpose and intention, and a level of aggression and physicality.

All things we've been lacking offensively IMO. Hopefully the increased focus on technique will be a big help toward making this offense look a lot less sloppy like it has been.

I think that's Riley's nice-guy way of saying that there is a lot of room for improvement.

I like the saying a lot. I think it means they did some things well but there is a long way to go. I coach HS for 20 years and it is amazing how often it doesn't look like football.

Sometimes they don't even know how to put on the equipment!

 
Remember what Nebraska's defense looked like when Melvin Gordon posted 408 in 3 quarters? That's what football not looking like football looks like.

 
I have no idea how you guys find all these interviews and such. Thanks for posting this! Season cant come soon enough!

 
I find it interesting that Riley feels good about both lines. He's been high on them since the spring. I think many fans are concerned about at least one side.

I noticed that comment too, and NUances take on it was how I felt too.

The other thing I got from the 3rd video was very confused about college football roster size rules. I'm gonna have to do some research.

 
I appreciate these update videos. I don't know how successful Coach Riley will be here, but I feel more informed when he speaks. Maybe it's the way he shares information from the questions asked? He seems open and honest regardless if it's a general or tough question being asked. As a fan, that's just one part of it that I need as a Husker junkie to help understand what's going on.
