Nebraska 2018 Season Thread

They are only a disappointment if you expected big things from them.

Ohio State, Penn State, and Michigan would not consider trading their WRs for ours. If we're going to win the BIG, that needs to change.

They are only a disappointment if you expected big things from them.

And I think the voting here shows that as a collective, we did.

[Hoss]

The collective needs to watch more film.

I think Stanley has carried his weight.

[FearlessF]

Morgan and Speilman had big numbers last season because of the Riley offense and the fact they were always coming from way behind slinging the ball around.

Morgan and Speilman are good WRs, but they are not the best in the conference.  Speilman and Tyjon have real potential.  Morgan has great hands as a possession receiver, but not elite speed or moves.  A good stiff arm is his best weapon.

The offensive players Frost brought in the overhaul the roster and provide the speed and big play ability haven't shown they are really elite.  Martinez has had some big plays, but the RBs get caught from behind and the WRs haven't been able to break big gainers for TDs.

The offense is dink & dunk and moves the ball, but doesn't get into the endzone enough. 

[Hoss]

Speilman has some talent, but isn't especially fast.

Stanley is strong and makes highlight-reel catches....when he's by himself, and its for a first down instead of winning the game. If he well-covered or under real, clutch pressure, he tends to fold. 

Lindsay looks like the prototypical scat receiver who is used to being the better athlete and running away from people in high school. I have no expectations of him at all. 

Hopefully the new additions can add something.

to be fair.. we've seen our star wr's drop passes game after game.

This team needs to work on redzone offense.   Nothing I'd fear as a DC.

It's going to be a longer transition than many Nebraska fans wanted.  Just today I saw comments and tweets for Nebraska media suggesting there is not buy in on the team.    Some guys are not believers in the new system on either side of the ball.   They'll have to flip more of the rooster before things really improve.

[ELA]

Some people who follow the team pretty closely were pretty bullish on them

Rivals=college kids....      I was not and I know Hoss was not. Many of my friends felt the same.   Perhaps it's because we are out of state??  I'd also suggest stats and impact are not always the same.

btw..While we thought they'd be strengths of the offense, they were not all conference as a group.

Frost said that WR depth is an issue right now, and Nebraska needs some guys to step up in that position. #Huskers

"I know I'm 100-percent bought in," Barry said. He said the team is "this close" from breaking through.

===============

seems the press is asking..

Mo Barry calls the hit that drew his targeting/ejection was "a love tap." "At the end of the day, I have to learn from it ..." he said. "I have to be more cautious." He watched the second half from a video room.
