Nebraska Football 2018-2019

[HuskerFever]

Ticket sales vs. actual attendees. As suspected, people weren't showing up last season. People actually are this season. Make your own inferences on why that is, but it's a positive sign in the right direction:

Enough of me being a Debbie downer.  We need to find a way to finish 5 - 1, which is a possibility.  Teams we play outside of Ohio State really aren't scary.  I could handle a 5 - 7 season.  It would show progress.   Then, go out and recruit defensive studs and offensive line studs. That's where I hope they concentrate. 

 

My prediction for the Minnesota game.

 

Nebraska 34

Minnesota 27

Depending on Bowl Eligible teams and APR, 5-7 could get us into a bowl as well.

Wouldn't that the wackiest thing to happen *this* year?!  I remember a college football that was 6-0, and then 0-6. It was Baylor several years back, I believe.

That's a refreshing quote from a player's perspective.  Hope it's accurate.

"Those kids at UCF didn't want to play," he says. "These kids (at Nebraska) want to play. It's not 100 percent where you want it on gameday. But at least they want to play. They have to do a better job of figuring out how not to lose a football game, but these kids are not shutting it down on us."

 

"After the game in the locker room here, it's not guys who are quiet — it's guys who are frustrated and angry that they're losing," Fisher says. "It's not that dull, quiet, that 'Let's just get on the plane and go home and get through this.' It's not any of that, in my opinion."

Now that’s what I call a dominating first half. Feels good. Basketball commit for an added bonus. Martinez is going to break a lot of records if we can keep him healthy for the next 3 years.

This season is simply about building and enjoying the progress. Sucks we have left some wins out there but it is what it is. We will have a dynamic trio on offense next year with Martinez, Spielman, and Washington. It will be fun to watch them grow. I dont think Michigan State or Iowa is gonna want anything to do with us by the end of the year.

5 wins.  Get there and we got a shot at a bowl.  6 would be better, but 5 could get us in.  I think we can do it.

[Huskerpapa]

Good win fella's.  We played spurts of exceptional football.  Other spurts kind of ran down our legs.  But it is wonderful to get in the win column.  

[khoock]

Plz dont give us a 1-loss Ohio State. I dont want Urban Meyer trying to prove a point against us while we are just starting to build confidence and momentum

Ohio State looks beatable tonight. Wow.

Did not expect that.  Boiler Up!

That would be great, needless to say.  However, like we did at one time, they have 2 wks. to prepare for us.  That won't turn them into a great 'D', but they'll certainly be ready to get the taste of defeat out of their mouths.  What luck once again.

Seems like a reoccurring theme now for Ohio St. Getting blown out on the road by a lesser foe.

 

Too bad they couldn't save that type of performance for us.

[HuskerFever]

It's nice to have some players on the team who respect and understand the importance of a 'blackshirt.'

 

Ben Stille turned down a blackshirt because "he didn't believe he practiced well enough."

They have a few ballers. You would think that being in Florida, that they would have a bit more speed.

So is Noah Vedral the backup now or did they just want to get him live reps since he had been scout team for the first half of the year?

He is the #2 guy

 

[Huskerpapa]

I am not certain he is number 2.  Frost said so much after the game.  The coaches wanted to get him game action, just in case.  He can now play in three more games and still redshirt.  There is a drop-off after AM, obviously.  But now both QB's, have game action under their belt, if needed.

 

That may have been one of the best first quarters of football in a few years.  BCU was not good, but our execution was excellent.

I had heard that if Adrian went down, Noah would be he guy. So I guess it is what it is.

All that said, Nebraska needs 2-AM to be extra special next Saturday, or there's no shot at all.

 

[HuskerFever]

We're kind of over this discussion at this point, but San Jose State finally got their first win of the season.

 

So the last four winless FBS teams got wins in the following order: UCLA, Nebraska, and San Jose State. UTEP remains 0-8.

We’ll need a big game from Ziggy Cropdust as well.
