thoughts on the spring game?
I only saw the first half.. As with any spring game, it is difficult to say anything definitively, but I think UNL has a few QB options. Frankly, from an expectations to performance, Bunch impressed me the most. I don't think he's in the top 2, but he's much better than you'd think for a walkon as a sophomore. For the first time in years, I feel like UNL actually can go 3 deep with quality.
RB appears to be position on offense that has the largest skill vs system mismatch. I don't see a group that can line up at RB one play and then split out at WR the next... something this system requires. Same with TE... UNL wants a player who can split out, line up at h-back or next to the tackle. UNL has recruited guys who play with their hands down, so while not a perfect harmony, they still exhibit more versatility than the RB's (as a group).
On D... DL has depth. I think that is clear. DB.... I actually believe this is the weakest unit on the team (as a whole). There are guys who have shown moments of great play, but then get burned on a simple go route. Consistency is needed. Fall is going to be big for this group. Low scholarship numbers mean the coaches need higher success rates and they must avoid injuries. Fall is going to be big for this group.
Special teams were not special at all... missing extra points is not a good sign. Maybe nerves or new holders.. but..
