Offensive line still looks terrible

Left tackle is a problem ...

 

[HuskerHackFraud]

The punter is mvp so far

 

[dinglefritz]

Smothers actually had a nice deep pass in to the wind that maybe should have been caught. Is it just me or does his throwing motion look WAY better this spring. Was he playing with a bum shoulder against Iowa?

 

[TFrazier_rivals269992]

The punter is mvp so far

And the punting has been inconsistent.

54k + for attendance, not too bad

It’s just the spring game, but Grant appears to have the vision, patience and jump cut / make defender miss ability that we have not had since Abdullah. Hopefully he’s the real deal. Just feels like since Abdullah left, all of our RBs just run straightforward with minimal ability to create their own yards

Vision. Most underrated trait of a running back.

 

[NorthWillRiseAgain]

Yant is a pointless back in touch football.

Good for Lincoln establishments..

They deserve some help after the B!G and the mayor of Lincoln screwed them over.

 

[Laner2]

Equipment manger gave Banks cement shoes.

 

[dinglefritz]

Purdy looks pretty good. Our new field goal kicker can't get to Lincoln fast enough...

 

[Huskerfan2112]

Its a no win regarding tackling.

no tacking and people will ***** all day

tackling and a key players blows a knee, people will ***** all year

I want to see the scanned ticket numbers. Winking

 

[HuskerHackFraud]

Hopefully our kicker will get better

 

[schuele]

NU’s run of great placekickers seems like it was a million years ago.

 

[cubsker_rivals142943]

Pray Nelson is really this good

 

[BrighteRed24_rivals190920]

Benhart, Bando, Hixson, Nouilli, Banks left to right…guessing that’s our first team o line right now knowing Corcoran and Prochaska are coming back

 

[weiddj]

My spring game before halftime overreaction = OL better have something else ready for season…

punter has a live leg needs to be consistent.

FG = 2021 all over again?

 

[Joedaly]

It looks like our special teams still haven’t figured out how to make field goals consistently.

 

[HUSKERFAN66]

It really handicaps the RBs imo. Smothers was going to blind side drilled on that play if it wasn't touch.

I think o at Yuge disadvantage

 

[buckknowsall]

QB's look bad. Smother's looks the best i think and he's been inconsistent on throws. If QB doesn't improve, the rest of this wont matter. Everything offense doesn't look good.

 

[dinglefritz]

Damn. Purdy looks really good. Putting the ball on the money and quick feet. I like.

Purdy playing the best at QB so far

Purdy playing the best at QB so far

Very accurate and throwing to the right guy. Good pocket awareness and quick feet.

 

[Harry Caray]

So Thompson only played for 2 series?

 

[dinglefritz]

Hopefully our kicker will get better

Transfer who will be our starting place kicker isn't in town yet.

 

[buckknowsall]

Purdy playing the best at QB so far

One is 6 and the other 8, maybe on a few plays I thought it was Smothers when it really was Prudy.

Anyhow, I hold with my comment...all are struggling.

 

[Nate004]

This offense is offensive to my eyes.

What game are you watching? Smothers has looked a lot worse than Purdy.

 

[BleedRed78]

Whew, I was worried...

 

[dinglefritz]

I think it was more than that but I think the real battle is for who will be the backup. The GOOD NEWS is that I think both Purdy and Smothers look like guys who could win games for us IF need be. I'm impressed by Purdy and Smothers looks like a more natural passer now than he did last fall.

 

[anon1765477286]

man, this is ugly. not sure i’m seeing much good at all. i’ll keep looking. i want to find something….lol

 

[dinglefritz]

I haven't seen anything to fault Purdy on at all. I think he's looked very good. Smothers has missed a couple of guys but it's hard to know if that was his fault or if the WR ran the wrong route.

Would have been nice to see more of Thompson. Maybe we could find out what we have if you put your best distributor of the ball on the field.

If he's that fragile, than our season is ****** anyway.

Smothers arm strength is his issue

When you throw way behind a WR running a skinny flag, it is obviously the QB.
