Two best practices all week

If it can't translate to game day, it's worthless.

exactly, Cotton can keep great practices to himself......the final product on game day tells all......nice to hear him brag on his kids, they probably need to hear it to build their confidence.

From the article:

* Because of Hurricane Gustav disrupting their scheduled opener, the Aggies haven’t played yet this season. But Cotton said last year’s film showed a team that would blitz about 60 percent of the time.

He also said Nebraska will have to be on its game on special teams because New Mexico State is “creative with punt returns,” often lining up four receivers when kicking.

“Our punt-return team is something to really keep an eye on because New Mexico State will come in and try to use a little trickery on that unit,” Cotton said.

Barney must be sitting in his chair at the staff meeting going "OK, who called it? who called it?"

Cotton said he has been setting his rotations for his linemen before the game and hasn’t deviated from those plans.

With Murtha back at left tackle, he’ll likely shift Mike Smith to right tackle, working him there with Javoirio Burkes. Marcel Jones then will likely move to the left side to back up Murtha.

Woah, woah, what? That's a lot of movement. Mike Smith and Jaivorio, the two current LTs, get moved back to RT (Burkes had been at RT until ... at least a good way through fall camp). And Jones has, if I'm not mistaken, always been at RT. Same with Smith and LT.

Does anyone else notice that this isn't in the article? Am I going crazy? Is this happening or what?

its pretty rare for it not to translate over.
