A guy I work with went to Georgia. Said Sherman was the one he wanted to keep. I hope we see more of that.

I think Kemp will have a pretty solid year. Probably not a Palmer kind of year, but I think he'll be dependable. I'm thinking Kemp and Washington will be a good duo.

We need a deep threat yes, but Kemp will be the get you 8 yards on 3rd & 7 kind of guy. There's great value in slot guys that can get open in pockets and keep the chains moving. That was actually Palmer's weak point. Fidone can help with this too.

If Sims can be accurate in these 7-20 yd passes we can be really successful.

I'm hoping Betts or Coleman or Fleeks can develop into a deep threat. That'd be a bonus.

I say this while admitting I know jack shit judging OL play.

But Benhart…seemed to play…pretty well. *ducks*

I thought the same.... 🤞

Those who didn't get to watch or didn't notice, Rhule was caught on camera after the game telling all the players to walk all around the stadium and shake hands and thank the fans. He's a real class act and I think he is fully embracing the opportunity that he sees here in Nebraska.

Kemp is going to be one of those annoying guys that other teams think they have him stopped short, but manages to get the downs. Glad he's on our side.

If any of the combination of those three you mentioned can become a deep threat, then we can throw a lot at the defense.

We need to all hope that both Simms and Thompson are available in the fall. Haarberg throwing is a nightmare. Everybody else can go. Torres may have some talent

I'm not sold on Washington. Seems super inconsistent. I'm hoping that Betts can continue to step up and and bea guy for us. He certainly has the highest ceiling.

Positives: Sims, RBs 1-3, Bonner, Kemp, the starting OL not named Corcoran, Nash, Wynn, Princewill, Lenhardt, Wallin, Noonan, Stenger, Sherman, Collier, Syncere, Hartzog

Negatives: All QBs not named Sims, Ajay, Emmett, Gilbert, the OL beyond the top guys, Borders, Bleekrode, the general sloppiness from the backup units, the lack of playmakers at WR beyond the top 2-3.

This is damn near spot-on. Completely agree.

I honestly don't get the Purdy hate. He got royally fucked by his WRs today IIRC. There were 3 drops he had that were passes that were right on the money. They catch those and they move the chains, etc.

I think the average fan is bad at evaluating QBs when they get drops. I actually thought Purdy was miles better than Haarberg today which is odd because HH had been the coaches and the media's wonder boy this spring. Purdy is a better QB, period.

I wrote him off completely last year but I'm willing to be open minded to changing my mind. TBH last yr was a bit of a shit show w the coaching change and the worst OL in history. I thought he looked much better today. And again if he got those 3 drops converted he may have ended up having a much better day (but the drives ended early bc of the drops).

Jesus. Some day we are going to have to name a buffet table after Frost, aren’t we?

The Scott Frost Golden Tee Lounge.

Drove up for the spring game, luckily got in a suite after sitting a quarter in the south end zone. Brr

Worried about this team up front and not sure if there’s a receiver that can get vertical and separate. Gonna be a tough year.

The QBs weren’t very accurate but the WRs also weren’t doing them many favors. I hope Casey gets healthy as there were a lot of passes I think we see Thompson nailing.
