I find it so depressing if these all are busts, with the exception of Ervin, but he's a true Freshman.
You always have to pay attention to walkons as well as scolly players. Most on both boards already knew about Yant and his size for awhile now.
Wouldn't surprise me to see a departure or two and the addition of somebody from JUCO or the portal after spring.
Seems like Frost sent a strong message to the scholarship kids to get their s*&t together come Fall.
After what Held did recruiting for us in 2019...?
Will Morrison and Johnson appear in any place other than Nebraska recruiting junkies minds?
i agree. i dont think opponents respected the pass. with an improved OL and improved WRs the run game will open up. of course, Martinez runs the ball 2nd most on the team every year. Thats why if i was a RB i would be concerned not only with the number of RBs on the roster but the fact that so many touches go to the QB and not RBs. That reduces the opportunity for multiple RBs as much as the the roster numbers do. its obvious Held can recruit because there are many reasons for RBs not to choose NEB right now but they are. We will see some leave over the next 12 months. if you are the backup RB at Neb it is equivalent to 3rd string on most programs depth chart because of the heavy run use of the NEB QB. these kids will get tired of not getting much time or opportunity sooner or later
AM led the team in carries the past 2 seasons
In our zone read scheme the QB has to run the ball every now and then. But it has gotten to be too much. I think we will see far less of AMart running this year if for no other reason than we simply cannot afford to lose him to injury. For as much as people on here ***** about him, the fact is if he goes down we are royally screwed this year. His backups have talent but zero game experience. That alone is worth a couple or more losses in a season where we cannot afford to give games away.
zero experience >>>>> the AM experience (17 career losses, most in Husker history)
Be careful what you wish for. Everyone wanted Luke over AMart as well and that was a bust. And we have had worse starting quarterbacks at Nebraska, even under Osborne, than AMart and they still won games. Why? Because they were surrounded by good teammates who were well coached. I think of guys like Craig Sundberg or McCant who were not good passers at all. And in Sundberg's case, not even a good runner. But they still won games. AMart is not the sole reason, or even the main reason, for those 17 losses. Put AMart on one of Osborne's teams and he would have been on the level of a Steve Taylor. What we need is for AMart to stay healthy, avoid turnovers, and for the rest of the team to step up its game. But that will require coaching. Do we have good coaching??? That is the million dollar question that this year will go a long way towards answering.
Luke as a starter: 1-1
Luke still would have been an improvement over Amart. I think we would have won more games with Luke. You can't just expect things to change overnight for a freshman in a new system.
everyone: AM gives us the best chance to win!
Maskar, Smothers, Haarberg, direct snap to Cam Taylor-Britt, direct snap to any RB
Well as you can see, by going back to AMart, it sort of forced Luke into transferring, so the entire picture changes yet again.
maybe. maybe we don't beat PSU with AM, too.
Tristian and Luke didn't have confidence issues that affected their whole offense. Both would have been a better choice the past 2 seasons.
