Nebraska Football 2014

Lots of talent but the O Line needs to gel with the new bodies and the QB position is shaky. Defense should be fast and furious and a ton of talent at the skill positions on offense.

Huskers should now have a pretty good bike collection.

Huskers stealing bikes again.

Haha clearly we need faster recruits if a cop was able to catch a wide receiver and tackle him.

Depends on how athletic he is. If he is a pretty great player, he'll get diversion. If he's a bench warmer, he's off the team.

Plenty of former NU football players end up with criminal justice degrees and then onto the LPD.

The Northwestern game has already been called the B1G game of the week...

Would that have something to do with the last-second Hail Mary we beat them on? Man, that was incredible.

It has more to do with the fact that sons B1G teams like Ohio St and Michigan are not playing that week, plus it may determine the winner of the west. Some preseason pundits have Iowa (soft B1G schedule) and Northwestern ahead of NU.

Well looks like we lost the transfer Stringfellow to Ole Miss.

MadMartin8 · Post by **MadMartin8** » Fri Jun 20, 2014 6:01 am

No surprises there.

guitarguy · Post by **guitarguy** » Fri Jun 20, 2014 8:13 am

To be perfectly honest I'm glad he didn't play here. The reason he was kicked off the Washington Huskies was for committing a crime. Now its one thing if one of the Husker players who have put their time in commits a crime since we tend to rehabilitate. But to me trusting a guys word who just got caught breaking the law has no value and I would hate to have the program stuck in a bad spot for accepting the transfer. At least now he can break the law with his new team mates and even if he gets caught the SEC will smooth it over.

Micheal Rose, Leeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooy Jenkins er.. Alexander, Charles Jackson, and some backup running back are now out for the season. Sucks to be them.

Westercamp's catch made #1 on ESPN's top 10 list!

mrsticka · Post by **mrsticka** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 1:16 am

That was a very incredible catch. Behind the back? I've never seen that before. So that makes 2 memorable catches for Jordan: The Hail Mary against Northwestern last year and now this.

But anyway, good way to start off the season. Let's hope this momentum continues on for the rest of the season.

I am not a huge Nebraska fan, but WOW, what an amazing catch. I have seen a lot of great one-handed catches and many others, but I think that was the best catch I have ever seen (not to mention he kept his feet in bounds.)

Gregory had surgery. Sounding like nothing too major though, probably hold him out at least a week.

guitarguy · Post by **guitarguy** » Mon Sep 01, 2014 7:45 pm

Read they scoped his knee checking for any issues but he checked out fine. Would be wise to rest him until we actually need him.. even a minor procedure like that can take a couple weeks to feel back to normal.

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Mon Sep 01, 2014 8:22 pm

He hurt his knee playing basketball?

mrsticka · Post by **mrsticka** » Mon Sep 01, 2014 10:43 pm

Bo's saying Randy might not play against McNeese State on Saturday. That's too bad.

guitarguy · Post by **guitarguy** » Mon Sep 01, 2014 10:56 pm

From what I gathered McNeese State might be a weaker team than FAU so sitting him until we need him will be much better allowing the guys backing him up gaining good experience in case he goes down later in the season.

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Mon Sep 01, 2014 11:07 pm

Coach Bo Pelini said Monday that Gregory had a basketball injury from several years ago ''flare up,'' and it caused a clicking sensation in his knee. Gregory underwent a procedure Sunday to remove scar tissue. ''It was a non-contact injury,'' Pelini said. ''The doctors could tell from looking at the MRI that it was very old.''

Pelini said Gregory probably could play against McNeese State, if needed. It's more likely he'll return for the Sept. 13 game at Fresno State. ''We're not looking to rush him back right now,'' Pelini said. ''Make sure he's 100 percent, feels good, and when that time frame is, we'll see.''

Good thinking.

McNeese State (Division FCS) giving the Huskers all they can handle. Doubt it will last though

.

Edit:

21 to 14 at half.

MadMartin8 · Post by **MadMartin8** » Sat Sep 06, 2014 1:38 pm

24 to 21 going into the 4th Quarter. Would be a good win for McNeese State over a FCS Caliber opponent.

Damn! Nebraska wins.

Matt Davidson just called this a good win. LOL.

So you are one of those annoying guys huh. How come that does not surprise me. This year ought to be the top of the world then for guys like you. Cap it off with Pelini getting fired at the end of the season and your going to Disneyland.
