Fireworks motherfucker!!! @HuskerGarrett

McGahee going to be a dude

Oh shit I forgot to look out for him.

 

[Tonkasker]

Raiola is going to be the 1st overall pick if he can avoid injury. Mechanics and ability is so mature

RB room is probably my favorite surprise. Thought it would be a bunch of average and instead there’s really nice pieces

Receivers were solid. Fidone shouldn’t see targets outside the hashes

OL looked pretty good but not much of a test

Defense picked up where they left off for the most part.

Special teams didn’t totally shit the bed so my expectations are exceeded

We looked like a mature well coached team with a lot of really fucking scary players.

Next week is big week.

I was pleasantly surprised by RBs, think EJ should be numero uno, but Dowdell was nice (aside from the fumble) and Rahmir could make a case for #1.

You know what is so refreshing to me? We are seeing exactly what we were told we would see.

Bingo. Going to be a good program again

Who was wearing comms for defense?

Unless there is some unholy buttfuckery that tampers with reality we will win and win easily.

Stop being a pussy! We don't need dad mode right now.

Obviously, you do.

Carter Nelson looks like he will be that tall, athletic, TE type we have been needing. Fidone is sill somewhat sluggish IMO. Two major knee surgeries and wearing a big knee brace took a step or two from him.

Wonder if this Mac Markaway (sp?) will be worked in quicker than expected. Wouldn't be a huge surprise.

I am a little concerned with our DB's vs CU. CU will get a good number of big plays most likely. We need to get constant pressure on Shadildo.

Next week is a game we should win. Today showed some very promising things. Obviously #15 is the real deal. But still a Frosh. New WR's are a huge improvement vs last year. Defense might not be quite as good as last year (TBD), but our D Line should be even a bit stronger than last year.

Overall, it is a damn good feeling to have a blowout win where 2nd and 3rd stringers are in yet in the 3rd qtr. Sure, there was a noticeable drop off on both LOS with the backup units, but overall, a damn good feeling to thump an opponent where there is no doubt mid 3rd qtr.

I like that it looks like we'll have the ability to have fresh rbs to keep after defenses

Hopefully they can get the LSU kid going, unless I missed something Fidone looked pretty meh today.

In my ideal world one of these dudes steps up and separates himself from the others. Personally I think Dowdell looked the best followed by EJ. If not for that fucking fumble I would say Dowdell has the edge.

He didn’t have much to work with. A couple of targets, if that, right?

He just runs so stiff, which I get is normal for a TE but even more so. More of a seem route to beat a linebacker kind of guy. Leave those screens out in the flat for a guy like Carter Nelson who looked super fluid. Man when he packs on 20-25 pounds and can block, those little plays we were trying to feed to fidone are going to be dangerous with Nelson.
