Real…Big Red Football has to Return

[TrueBigRedFan]

A Mobile QB is a requirement.

And then it’s Linemen!

Defense…it’s Linemen!

No other team can be Physically Stronger!

Real Player Development has to be Obvious!

The Coaching Carousel has to Stop!

Just run the damn ball!!

IF you can have a legit right running attack it opens up options. I’m hoping Colandrea’s run threat helps that.

I think AC gets over 600 yards rushing this year. Which will be huge for us.

Not sure, but water is colder in the Arctic Ocean.

First off, is water wet?

Hopefully more on off plan plays that advance chains vs planned runs IMO

 

[ADV88]

Well Shoot... there's the recipe

Is it just my lucky day and insider information like this fell into my lap?

 

[RedMyMind2.0]

so Iowa

There was quite a debate years ago about how many angels could fit on a pin, so reality is relative across the Centuries

It’s nice to want things

I want I-Backs like Rozier, Phillips, Green and Alexander who intimidate defenses. They are not easy to get but if a coaching staff commits to, maybe they start coming back to DONU. In that group of four, there is a Heisman winner, a first round pick and a time great NFL back.

• In a 5 game stretch (Clemson, UNC, Pitt, Notre Dame and SMU) he was sacked 28 times.
• He wasn't sacked v. Notre Dame.

2025 UNLV 10 - 4

Is 26 sacks a lot?

I see him going over 650 this season

Thats nothing … we gave up half of that v Michigan last year.

650 sacks seems a bit high

 

[SuperBigFan69]

650 sacks seems a bit high

I think he will have one game that skews it a bit, like a 100 game...

28 in 4 games is a lot.

 

[Vanhusker]

Does he cough up the ball much when he's sacked?

 

[WTFMatt]

You all can be sarcastically hostile with the OP all you want. But, this is the recipe we've been looking for since Osborne. Only two coach we've had since have taken this seriously. Solich tried, but he sucked at recruiting. Pelini did as well, but he got to the point that he hated Nebraska as much as the fans hated him.

Dan Alexander was a beast but he fell down and fumbled a lot. We’ve had a lot of backs who were better than Dan. Buckhalter, Helu I would put over Dan.

9 offensive starters on our last national title team were from the state of Nebraska. This was a team that only won because of an explosive offense. The 90s also saw Kansas, Kansas State, Colorado have some of their best seasons. So there was a regional and cultural dominance. The only way forward for Nebraska is to build an all-star team out of the best players from north of us and west to Utah. This will be big white guys, huge offensive line, big physical qb, save NIL and put it all into a few skill positions...a DT, a DL, a CB, a RB, a WR...spend it all on 5 big name guys and build the rest of the roster out of cheap regional kids, preferably from the dakotas. Most of the time we will look a lot like Iowa...and at times under Osborne it kind of felt that way. Especially during bowl season.

I forgot about Roy Helu. He was great!

Hell Pork Chop was a really good back. Loved that guys burst, lateral quickness and low center of gravity. He wasn’t going to win many 40 yard dashes but he could disappear behind the O line and suddenly cut in to a crease for 5-10.

Great kid. Great teammate. Loved that guy.

I agree. Alexander would trip over his own shoelaces and had stone hands. He was a fumble machine. We have had many, many running backs better than he was. Derek Brown. Calvin Jones. Helu. Burkhead. Abdullah. Benning. Ken Clark. EJ from last year. Redwine. Keith Jones. The list could go on and on. Dan Alexander would rate around the 25th best NU running back over the past 50 years.

How ya doin? I’m recovering from a knee replacement. Just got up to pee and take some more hydrocodone. Made the mistake of quitting it too early and yesterday afternoon the pain became unbearable.

Most of my patients would state that during the first 4 weeks after a TKA that they made a horrible mistake.

Then after 4wks they would often remark that they should have made the decision for a TKA long ago--that their quality of life improved immensely.

I had a Birmingham resurfacing arthroplasty on my hip on my 50th birthday. The first 7-10 days were excruciating. Way more soft tissue damage than a standard hip but I’m 18 years out on the same implant and still have my femoral neck if I need a revision. Wish I had done the hip 5 years earlier I’ve put off the knee for 6-7 years. The guy that did my left hip wanted to schedule my right hip back when we did the first one. Gotta love sports.
