So it's been a crazy offseason so far! Just thought I'd start this thread up & pose a few thoughts and questions to get the convo goin. Gonna be a long month or 2 'til the game comes out & then the season starts.

What kind of record do you guys think this team will end up with? Baring an upset that comes out of nowhere, I personally only see a few games as potential losses: Washington, Texas, Mizzou, Texas A&M and perhaps Okie St because it's on the road in between Texas & Mizzou. I think everything rides on that Texas game. I believe they will be undefeated heading into that one, & if they can come away with a convincing win, in what is sure to be one of the wildest games Memorial Stadium has seen in a LONG time, that momentum will carry them through the rest of their games.

My prediction would be that they beat Texas but stumble elsewhere and end up with 1 loss heading into the Big XII Championship. Depending on how the rest of the country shakes out, I see a BCS game & potentially an NC appearance if other teams (Boise St, Alabama, Ohio St) struggle.

Obviously a lot of this depends on a competent and HEALTHY offense. While I don't think they'll be GREAT by any stretch of the imagination, I think improved health & depth along the Oline will allow them to open up the playbook a little more this year & have some success.

Just a few thoughts to get the conversation rolling! :cool:

Washington that finished 5-7 last year as a possible loss?

I'm curious to see how Texas plays without McCoy. Especially in Lincoln.

I only put Washington in there because it will be our first test & it's on the road. I think they'll win that game & by more than 10 points but I just think because of the nature of the game it's a more likely stumbling block than the other games on our schedule.

No starting QB named yet, but rumors keep building that rFr Taylor Martinez will be the starter on Saturday night vs. Western Kentucky over Senior Zac Lee & Soph Cody Green. Though, I don't think it matters who starts until the game against Washington up in Seattle.

And then it just matters that it's not Zac Lee.

The starter ended up being rFr Taylor Martinez, Soph Cody Green played a few drives, and Sr Zac Lee was in later in the game.

Martinez is the first QB in the history of the program to start a season opener as a Freshman or redshirt Freshman. I was pretty impressed by his acceleration. It seemed like he went from 0 to 40 in about two steps, if that. It was tough to tell much though versus WKU, but his passing looked pretty solid as well. Timing and drops were an issue, but that's expected in game one.

The pure run game wasn't very impressive and the D has some work to do. Next up is Idaho and then @ Washington before Homecoming versus South Dakota State.

JeffHCross
09-05-2010, 12:41 AM
The one running play highlight I saw from Martinez was ridiculous. 0 to 40 in insane quick time, as you said.

I was highly disappointed in Helu's lackluster stats.

cdj
09-05-2010, 12:10 PM
We just couldn't get anything going from the RB spot. Burkhead (Soph who filled in for injured Helu last year) had a nice couple runs making things happen, but save for his exploits and Martinez, we were unable to establish a running attack versus WKU. A lot of fans are upset on how the defense played (gave up 300 yards), but I'm a lot more concerned about the run game. The previous two seasons the offense has been slow to start the season and I'm afraid this will be year #3 of that. It cost us games each year (VT, for example) and has me concerned for games at Washington and Kansas State.

HuskerBlitz
09-06-2010, 09:03 AM
Yeah, running between the tackles left a lot to be desired, which is where they tried to force Helu to. That's a definite concern.

Also, Martinez played pretty well. But he needs more work on his passing. He was throwing too hard on short throws. If the ball is too high or too low, the receiver is not going to have a chance to catch it.

Rumors going crazy in Lincoln.

- One is that Taylor Martinez has quit the team, but his HS coach, a LB on Facebook, and a local TV station are now saying that is not true.

- Bo Pelini to be suspended for one game, but no clue how true that may be. It does seem that he is going to have a sit-down with the Chancellor and/or AD for some of his action Saturday night in College Station. IMO, he has been in an extremely foul mood the last few weeks - more than usual, for whatever reason.

my friends are going to the bowl game out here in california.

they say the OC coach should go because even though he might be good because of the last 2 years of winning. his play calling is too predictable and tries to force plays instead of just working with exploiting an opposing teams weakness as it becomes evident during a game.

Nebraska has put up a new recruiting website. The video on the page that's linked is pretty awesome and so are the ones on the facilities and gameday pages. The facilities one I found particularly interesting, it's a tour of some of the facilities (players lounge, locker room, trophy room) with Prince. Also there are videos throughout the site and all seem to be from "The Bo Pelini Show".

Wishful thinking I know but, here is the kind of guy I think Nebraska needs to go out and get instead of Watson. If they are convinced the spread is the way they would like to head, which I am not convinced is smart, this is the kind of guy they need.

TROY’s offense:
20th Scoring (34.1 ppg)
54th Rushing (158 yds/G)
12th Passing (295 yds/G)
17th Total (453 yds/G)

Coordinator is a guy who was a big time OC in Division II for a while apparently. Looks like a younger guy, originally from Louisiana.
http://www.troytrojans.com/coaches.aspx?rc=35&path=football

Don’t like that it’s more pass heavy than run heavy but I think that’s probably more a result of the conference than anything. The Sun Belt isn’t exactly well known for shutdown corners as we’ve shown over the last couple seasons.

Kwizzy
02-02-2011, 05:23 PM
I have some sources, take this info FWIW because I wont reveal who they are... Hearing Wats, Gilmore, and Sanders are out.
Also hearing from message boards that possibly Ed Warinner, KU's former OC to come in as OC. Also, lots of talk about Frost coming back in some capacity as well..

cdj

Wats, Gilmore, Sanders not at recruiting dinner tonight, giving credence to your info.

Kwizzy
02-03-2011, 11:39 AM
Current message board Info. I would clarify that this is info put together from reputable sources, not just rumors.

Offense
Jason Phillips (co-OC, WR) - Currently Houston's OC
Scott Frost (RB) - Currently Oregon's WR coach
Tim Beck (Co OC,QB)
Barney Cotton(OL)
Ron Brown (TE)

Defense
Carl Pelini(DC,DT)
John Papuchis(DE/ST)
Ross Els (LB/ST) - Currently Ohio's LB coach
Corey Raymond(CB,S) - Briefly supposed to be Indiana's new CB coach but coming to NE because he gets the whole secondary.

Don't know how I would feel about Phillips. He obviously is a good coordinator but I think he's a little too pass heavy for what we have said we're trying to do. I just hope that he's able to continue to develop the run game we started to implement complimenting that w/ an explosive passing game. If he can do that, I'm on board.

Thoughts on the new staff anyone?

I like Beck as OC. Would've preferred him as Co-OC with Frost but if we couldn't get him I like the choice that Bo made. I think no matter who Bo would've hired, there is gonna be a great deal of addition by subtraction with getting rid of Watson (especially his play-calling) and Gilmore. Also, having one seamless identity on offense will be huge. Trying to combine a WC passing attack with a spread running game & whatnot was just not my idea of a potent offense.

I think adding a second OLine coach is a great call though I don't know much about Garrrison. Again, I think the oline will benefit significantly just from a consistency of technique and purpose in the new scheme. With Offensive line positions accounting for 5/11 players on the field at any given time it makes sense to have a second coach working with them.

Ron Brown coaching RBs is fine with me. Perhaps he can solve some of those fumble issues.

Fisher is the wild card here. I'm glad they got a guy they're comfortable with and I also like that he is younger & energetic. I love that he was a very successful HS coach & turned a nothing school into a power in a very short amount of time (similar to Beck's background). Going to give Bo the benefit of the doubt on the lack of major experience & hope he works out. Big job ahead of him trying to identify playmakers on this team at WR though.

Raymond is a rising star from what I can tell. Strong recruiter with ties to SEC country and a good coach. Lack of experience isn't too concerning to me because Bo has worked with him in the past at LSU and will be able to help out some. Sanders is a BIG loss here though, hopefully Raymond can handle it.

Ells is a good hire IMO. With a new secondary coach who has never coached an entire secondary before Bo needed someone who could step in and handle the job on his own. This hire allows Bo & Carl to focus on the defense, and team, as a whole more. Only doubts are in his recruiting ability.

Overall I like that Bo goes after guys who seem to be good teachers. After all that's the most important part of a coach's job. We've seen great Xs & Os guys who couldn't teach a lick & so it didn't matter how brilliant they were. More than anything I give Bo credit for realizing that these changes to be made & doing it.

cdj
03-05-2011, 12:30 AM
I'm like you in that I think almost anyone would be a step-up from Watson in calling plays. Not sure what to expect exactly as some of these guys are still wet behind the ears, but I have faith in Bo. I wish he had hired fresh when he got the job versus keeping any Callahan leftovers.

JeffHCross
03-05-2011, 11:24 AM
Kwiz, one thought on the second O-Line coach ... are their responsibilities going to be any different? I was a lineman in high school and I struggled with technique ... would hate to think of the mess that might happen if each of the two coaches had their own ideas.

Kwizzy
03-05-2011, 05:35 PM
no they will both coach all of the lineman but the new Oline coach has been a GA on the team for the last couple years so there shouldn't be any problem with them teaching different techniques. Like I said, the line should benefit from having 1 new CONSISTENT system in place. The last couple years, they have been trying to mesh a west coast passing game with elements of spread & power run games & as a result the Oline was trying to learn a dozen different techniques. If anything the technique they are coaching should be MORE consistent now. :))

Kwizzy
03-16-2011, 08:40 AM
Anyone been paying attention to the videos coming out of spring practice at all? They have been running a TON of under center stuff in every video I've seen. Even saw an I formation old school Cntr Triple Option! I figured they would want to incorporate quite a bit of power stuff but I figured they would try to establish that out of more spread and Pistol looks rather than traditional stuff. Pretty interesting stuff.

http://www.thisisnebraska.com/blog/?sport=fb There are 2 videos from the first 2 days on this site & the World Herald & Journal Star both have videos from Saturday's practice up as well.

At first I thought the firing of Mike Anderson would hurt us landing him, but as the article mentions with Darin Erstad being a former two-sport star at Nebraska with both a NC and a World Series ring that may actually help us more. In either case, I hope his stays true to his word and attends here. If not, best of luck to him.

Even if he doesn't end up coming here I don't think I'd necessarily look at it as him not staying true to his word. The Husker coaches recruited him knowing this was a possibility & he basically said that IF he played college football it would be here. Seems like a great young man & I just hope he makes whatever decision is best for him & his family.

Now I understand that by saying that he improves his bargaining position, but it makes me take more of a wait & see approach.

I think you'll see a lot of pistol and shotgun with some IFORM stuff thrown in to help establish a power run game. It will be a lot of runs then play action off of it. I think they will try to stretch the defense vertically more & then hit them underneath w/ more WR screens. Also, it will be very fast paced, no huddle stuff. Should be interesting to see how they incorporate some of the Iformation stuff with the no huddle & spread stuff.

I actually don't have a oproblem with needing to put the two together to form the picture. My problem is that on its own, each glove just looks like half of a screen printed image. All of the other gloves at least don't look woefully incomplete without the pair being together. If you look at the gloves in the link below they all either: A) Can stand alone or B) just look like a design on the glove until you put them together.

If you look at the gloves in the link below they all either: A) Can stand alone or B) just look like a design on the glove until you put them together.

Yeah, that just looks plain ugly as hell and a blatant attempt by either Nebraska or Adidas to cash in on the popularity of the Nike Pro Combat gloves. Either way, if I was a Nebraska fan, I'd be embarrassed to have those hideous things in any way associated with the team/university.

It looks like Nebraska (adidas) is getting into the business of team specific gloves, just like the Nike Pro Combat Gloves.

NU's student manager tweeted pics of these earlier today:

I'm guessing other adidas schools will have their own versions this fall as well.

I wonder if the Penn State Gloves are half of Jopas glasses on each glove ?

Try 3, history major. PSU - 6-10 against UM since 1990 with three of those victories coming in the worst 3 seasons of UM football in 50+ years after NINE consecutive Michigan victories. ROFL, you can sit back down now.
Besides, I'm joshing around with a Nebraska guy for the fun of it, go back in your PSU lane.

UM - owning PSU since 1990 (http://football.stassen.com/cgi-bin/records/opp-opp.pl?start=1990&end=2010&team1=Penn+State&team2=Michigan)

UM 2006 11-2
UM 2007 9-4
UM 2008-2009 - losers!
UM 2010 - 7-6 (whaaa? Same as PSU? Yeah, another crappy season by UM standards)
PSU 2006 9-4
PSU 2007 9-4
PSU 2008-2009 11-2, nice years
PSU 2010 7-6 OOPS, you were saying?

You know the thing I loved most about the Oklahoma/Nebraska rivalry was that there was no need for a trophy or a bucket or a pig or gold hat, etc, etc and it did not have to be called anything but OU-Nebraska or Nebraska-OU, depending on that side if the fence you were sitting on. It was that big and meant so much because it practically determined the Big 8 Champion each year.

Let's just hope you can find the room for us in 2020-2021and bring back what was once the Greatest Rivalry in football.

I'll be honest; I REALLY do not like Nebraska, so I am one of the few fans of a Big 10 team (especially a Penn State fan) that is very disappointed that Nebraska is in the conference.

But, like it or not, you guys are here and you're our permanent cross-over game. What do you guys think of that? I know that 99% of Penn State fans are practically having an orgasm because of it.

I thought you guys were going to win the conference until Wisconsin got Russell Wilson. Still, I think the Big 10 title will be a Wisky/Nebraska rematch. I think I'll have to swallow some vomit and root for Wisky in that game. ;)

What a ridiculous article. Comparing Pelini to Bowden or Osborne? Players have to have the self-control to take verbal lashings from coaches, but respect isn't given because of the position, it's earned by the man. I'm sure this wasn't the first time a player responded to Pelini, and I'm sure it won't be the last. Hell, I've seen sometimes when a coach wants a player to react with fire.

I think it is extremely shady that someone waited until now to release it, but I don't believe in the Scooby-Doo defense. "I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddlesome kids that damn tape!"

For the most part, he made this mess and now he has to deal with it. I like Pelini, but this type of behavior is unacceptable. However, I'm not sure there is an easy answer. If the team flames out or bombs late in the year, I think the new AD will have no choice but to look for a new coach but I don't think that is even an option right now - you have to let the season play out.

Yep. Honestly, I don't even care that she even said what she said but I don't care what people said years ago. People grow, people change. At one point, I was against same-sex marriages based on my religious upbringing. Now, I'm all for it because not everyone believes what I believe and this is the United States of America, not the United States of Christianity. Other people's wants and desires to be together have nothing to do with me or mine so let same sex couples get married. Didn't mean to get political. It's just that this was said 2 years ago, not last Saturday. It shouldn't be a big deal.

and no recruits are visiting for the home coming game. Is something going to go down, especially with Bo Pelini ?

I was watching ESPN U and they said that Nebraska long term is in trouble because of cable TV. They don't have the exposure other programs do or the local talent. They need to recruit nationally and the new TV age has made that harder.

Makes sense.

(I mean no offense to the Nebraska heads for anything I'm about to say).

Let's say you were a 5* recruit and you could go anywhere in the country. How many people would choose to live in Nebraska over living in A state like Cali or Texas, or Florida where the weather is good year round or going to Oregon where you can get all the Nike gear you could ever dream of, or playing in the SEC where the biggest games are bigger then everyone else's biggest games. I'm not saying Nebraska doesn't have plenty to offer (I'm sure there's some nice corn-fed co-eds there and I know the facilities are pretty sweet), but Nebraska has it's fair share of disadvantages that weren't as obvious as during the golden area.

they are on the Big 10 network along with Espn national games, I find them most every weekend on tv. That's a stretch of a statement. They've always recruited well. Its the coaches lack of motivation and planning at this point.

I wonder if recruiting in the Big 10 has made it harder to get the Texas recruits since they aren't in the B12 anymore?

I would think so. There are way less Big Ten games on tv down here than Big XII games. Nebraska was on pretty much every weekend when they were in the Big XII now they are barely on down here, because they are replaced by more regional games.

Cowherd had a great skit on why Michigan, Nebraska etc had fallen away the last two decades.........in the 70s only one or two games broadcast a week on TV and it was mostly Nebraska, Michigan etc. Now, just about every game is on TV... so if you were 18 would you rather live in Southern Cal, Florida (anywhere in the warm south) with sun bunnies and beaches or Lincoln Nebraska with the snow and corn fed heifers?????

He then tied it to dating hot women. He said George Clooney dates hot women with ease and he can too......he just has to work harder. Southern Cal, Alabama, FSU are the Clooney's now......Michigan and Nebraska can get good players but they have to work harder:nod:

Good stuff.

Let's hope that Corporate America doesn't try to use this as a marketing campaign again, the way the pigs at Upper Deck did last year. Shameful.
