Blackshirts tackling improvements

My brother got married on Saturday so I missed the game and am going back to watch in bits and chunks. Just now seeing this- absolutely beautifully done. Wow.

You're brother got married on a husker game? What kinda Cockeye shit is he on?

Unlike Brian Ferentz, my brother will be scoring on Saturday’s for years to come

To be fair to his brother, we have usually put a nice shit bow on the season by this time of year in the last 5-7 years

Obviously haven’t watched MR presser yet OP.

I was surprised he was not happy with the tackling. Looked pretty darn good to me.

We about got burned 2 times and got away with it. That concerns me more than tackling.

Tony White can name his price to Turd in about a month and a half, and Turd better open that checkbook.

My guess is Tone will interview for HC jobs and leave if he finds one he likes. I don't know that we will be good enough for that yet though

I would think most AD's will want one more year of consistency, to make sure it's not a fluke.

Probably. I think a lot of the length of White's tenure at Nebraska will be determined by whether he's a guy who just wants to be a HC or a guy who wants to get a great job. Some guys take the path of moving up ASAP, others are more selective and hold out until they have enough credibility to get a really good job, e.g. Venables.

I don't think White goes anywhere unless a major P5 team wants him as head coach. We can easily match whichever other school wants him as a DC.

So we have learned that 5 years of 2 Handed Touch in practice may have been part of the reason for our tackling issues in the past? I'm stoked about what the D brings this season. Swarming to the ball with solid tackling. Even players like LB Nick Henrich who looked slow last season appear to be playing much faster. Great seeing all of the Freshman who are able to positively contribute in this defense after only a short time on campus. If our offense is able to match the defense's intensity & execution next season we could see a very salty team on the field.
