So this new commit... Is he good?  I saw Rivals had 3* but others had 4*.  I don't put a ton of stock into stars, but enough to wonder why he is lower on Rivals.

 

Either way, good get for the O Line.

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

 

Ziggy Stardust has to be out of this galaxy!

Teams with big-time O-lines all wanted him. And he's a 6'-8" OT. That's a very good thing, nobody getting around him. GBR

247sports had him as the 10th best OT, and 65th best player in this class.

He is the #2 guy

 

 

You might be right, but I don't see how.  I thought he looked turrible.  Two-of-nine for 29 yards and a pick is Bouserman bad.

Keep into consideration its his first game since probably the second or third to last regular season game at UCF. Also he had been practicing with the scout team up until he was granted eligibility and i didnt think the backups gave him a lot of help either. A couple drops and miscommunications on routes.

 

Thought he looked solid at UCF against better competition.

 

BUT Frost and Co have continued to say that Bunch is the backup. They wanted to play Vedral bc the new RS rule allows them too.

Vedral was by far the worst QB in the spring game as well. He looks to be able to move well which is needed in this offense. But he has a long long ways to go in the passing department. Hopefully Mccaffrey is ready to go next year if need be.

Don't you think McCaffrey will need a year to build his body.  He sure seems undersized at this point.  I thought he would be a redshirt candidate.

My guess is they will try to separate McCaffrey and  Martinez by another year, and redshirt him if possible.   And perhaps 13 meant he needs to be ready if Martinez goes down.  But if Vedral doesn't develop in the passing game, they may not have the redshirt luxury for McCaffrey.

Atleast we will have depth behind Martinez with Bunch, McCaffery, and Vedral.

 

I remember Vedral also looking the worst during the spring game. However, Frost continues to rave about him.

[Huskerpapa]

Vedral will be a football coach in the near future.  He should be well liked by the team and coaches because he is unselfish and has a team first attitude.  I have also heard that Vedral understands his limitations and knows the system inside-out.  

 

That said, he and Bunch have different strengths, Bunch can pass, Vedral can run.  If something should happen to AM, I would expect both backups will play.

[khoock]

Vedral is officially the backup Frost announced today.

Yep just as I said earlier in the week.

[AuroranHusker]

It's an interesting development. Vedral *could* still play in 3 of the final 4 in order to maintain his redshirt this season.

I imagine it won't be this Sat. unless it gets too far out of hand.  Which I'm hoping of course that is not the case.

Agreed.

Proud of how the Huskers have looked so far, but man, we let a few opportunities slip through our fingers.  Dang.

We had the chance to completely control this game.

[HuskerFever]

Left a lot of points off the board, dropped too many crucial passes, and got cold on offense. But man, this OSU/NU matchup is much more fun to watch than the Riley era.

[huskerbaseball13]

We made them punt!  I get that this probably isn’t the Ohio St of the last few years but still a really good team. Our offensive scheme has the ability to put extreme strain on a defense.  It’s going to be something to watch if we can add a few more playmakers and a few more key

cogs on the line. 

[HB]

Yeah, there were some drops but this game was not lost on offense.  Special teams were a killer.  We'll have to recruit out of the defensive problems but it is all very encouraging.  Have the nucleus for a great offense and Frost called a tremendous game.  Austin and Held are SO much better than their pitiful predecessors.  More optimistic than I've been in years.

It's part of the process, next year we win these games.

Austin seems to be a good line coach. getting this group to pass pro vs. last year.

My favorite part this season has been having a handful of non-Husker friends ask me sarcastically, "So how do you feel about Scott Frost now?" I responded to one of those friends, "You know, I'm liking a lot of what I'm seeing. We've got to limit the penalties and tighten up on some basics, but I'm not too concerned." That friend's jaw dropped and said, "What? You're 0-6! What are you talking about? You're crazy." It's all about the big picture and taking the necessary steps to get there.

 

I wish this friend was a Big Ten alum. I would love to play him next year.
