Week 11 v Wisconsin: Game Notes, Depth Chart, Odds and Ends, etc

[Juro]

The omniscient Tim has spoken

I would have said Quinn Clark. In the open 1890 practice, that kid blocked like no other.

Dana is gonna be so good for Raiola

He might throw for 800 yards these last 2 games

1200. 15 tudds.

We lose to Cockeye by a field goal and Wisconsin by 30 somehow

We are gonna fuck these guys up. Let’s freaking go.

That was refreshing. Tough love and if you can't do it, you won't get the ball. My favorite part was when he thought some of the position coaches might be falling in love with certain kids and not letting others get their chance. He has be giving his input on who should be playing.

Would be good advice for Tony White and his position coaches too.

 

[BIG TONE SOPRANO]

As it should. Our running backs miss more holes than Stevie Wonder

All they do in practice is run straight line drills. Like they can’t already do that lol

Loved the stark but honest presser from Holgs. Exactly what the players, coaches and program needs to hear. RB's and WR's have not been good enough. Hit the damn hole, RB's. Get separationg, WR's. And YES, you need to block downfield.

Don't do that stuff, you won't get the rock.

Preach on tman

Good to see Dana ripping some ass long overdue for some of those positions.

Unfortunately it also seems that Rhule and Satt were unable for whatever reason to give their position coaches and players much needed critical feedback though.

If Dana was the OC from the beginning we would probably be bowling plus a couple more wins.

The main question I would love to ask Holgorsen is if it's talent or coaching. Although my suspicion is it's 50/50

I think he was suggesting the players have the talent, or that he thinks it looks like they have the talent. Like, dude, hit the hole "I shouldn't have to push you in the back of your shoulder pads for you to see the hole", RB's. And blocking on the perimeter - it is so much about effort and want to. Sure, you need to be crisp with your technique, but this is mostly effort based.

Not getting separation on routes could be talent, or it could be lazy route running like lazy blocking. Often times a lot of this is some of both, of course.

IMO, he was more saying it looks like there is talent there, but it is not executing well. Which then leads one to believe that coaching is a definite part of the problem.

Holgs was so upfront with this - let's be realistic - relatively simple stuff that is not being done or executed well, that he seemed dumbfounded that we were 9 games into our season and this is the level of execution we are seeing. A good coach gets players to execute well, or those players don't play. Not every player can or will do that, but the majority can and will with good coaching.

 

[BIG TONE SOPRANO]

Rhule is too nice at times. He’s finding out that isn’t working. This is all positive for his growth. Kids these days only understand two things - fear and consequences.

 

[Huskers633]

Hopefully a walkon

I have to say I really liked what he had to say and how he said it. We need someone in charge who isn't emotionally invested in who is playing and has no time for hurt feels. Good god I wish he'd been in charge of the offense from the jump this year.

Has IGC seen a single rep at receiver this year? Is he really that bad that he doesn’t rotate in?

He should never ever ever ever field another punt or kickoff

 

[Huskerbuck85]

Why about a reception from a qb pass? Should he field one of those?

Not at all
