Lettuce discuss USCjr

Does this mean there is a real chance Chubba could possibly start? I'd guess we'd have the element of surprise, at least.

***Rhule said they would continue to evaluate Heinrich Haarberg and Jeff Sims in practice this week. He added that NU was still evaluating Haarberg's health after leaving the Louisiana Tech game with an injury. They don't think it's anything serious, but they're keeping an eye on it.
***Rhule said a couple of Nebraska's three allowed sacks resulted from Haarberg holding the ball too long on an RPO when he should've handed it off or thrown the ball away.
***While Rhule likes what Haarberg has done, he said: "We still have a lot of coaching to do" with him. The good news is that Haarberg wasn't "too sensitive to coach" and understood that he still had a lot of improvement to make.
***Like the past two weeks, Rhule said they would play the quarterback "who gives us the best chance to win" vs. Michigan. All three QBs would get reps, and the staff would evaluate them all week before making a final decision on a starter."For me to sit up here on Monday and say I don’t know… this isn’t gamesmanship."
 
Maybe @Faux Sean Callahan is really Satterfield and this is his clever way of getting support for himself

I question how sustainable it is without having more carries from back up RBs or a better passing game.
I don't think any changes to the passing game is possible with HH and I don't think you can bench HH for Sims right now. So I'm not sure how you get to a better passing game unless HH goes down physically or starts turning the ball over like Sims. Even then Sims is limited too.

So 5 carries by backups and 20 carries by Grant is sustainable but 2 carries by backups and 22 carries by Grant isn't.....Got it.

The thing I question that is sustainable for the remaining 8 games is QB running for almost 20 carries a game....

Areas I would feel I need to develop if I am Satterfield is RB depth and passing game. Can you get that QB carry number down to closer 10 carries a game?
 
They had some reasonably good looks on PA bootleg stuff this week. Haarberg didn't get it out most of the opportunities though.

But that concept has almost put Haarberg in the ICU twice in 2 weeks because we fuck up blocks doe.
They need to have a PAP off of the jet counter play they are running.

Luto almost did get HH killed though vs La Tech.

And move the ball? I doubt it. I don't mind it at 20 now when 5 are scrambles. Especially with HH. If you drop back 5 more times you're just as likely to get 5 more scrambles.
 
Yeah but how many rushing attempts, fullbacks, I-formation, option, hard-nose, lunch pail

Just go full bill Snyder & run em for 3 yards as many times as it takes to get a W
