Bando is going to have a monster year

I've heard that for the last two years. I've never been that impressed with Bando. MRI played better at the Mike then Bando ever has.

Interesting. I thought he played pretty good last year.

He must have took your bike or something.

 

[HuskerInSecLand]

I expect him to have a breakout year also. He's been slowly coming up to speed, going to bust out of the chute this year.

Speaking of speed, he's lost some weight so hopefully that will help him not get burned in coverage by RBs out of the backfield.

If there ever was a good stereotype for a walk on O-Lineman at Nebraska, he's it.

Nope he might be a better athlete then MRI but I've seen him play to flat footed for me. MRI always processed the play faster and he played faster then Bando. Time will tell this year about Bando but for all the hype around him he's been meh.

Blackshirts were given out. Basically what you'd expect, except where is Kieron WIlliams in the DBs? He's listed as the starter, but instead Aaron has the blackshirt. guess he has some work to do.

Also, MRI and Newby both got them, so seems like they both will be getting plenty of playing time. Weber was a little bit of a surprise just because he's behind Banderas.

Four defensive linemen: Ross Dzuris (senior defensive end, Plattsmouth, Neb.); Mick Stoltenberg (sophomore defensive tackle, Gretna, Neb.; Kevin Maurice (senior defensive tackle, Orlando, Fla.); and Freedom Akinmoladun (sophomore defensive end, Grandview, Mo.

Five linebackers: Dedrick Young II (sophomore, Peoria, Ariz.); Michael Rose-Ivey (senior, Kansas City, Mo.); Josh Banderas (senior, Lincoln, Neb.); Chris Weber (junior, Omaha, Neb.); and Marcus Newby (junior, North Potomac, Md.) and

Four defensive backs: Chris Jones (junior cornerback, Jacksonville, Fla.); Joshua Kalu (junior cornerback, Houston, Texas); Aaron Williams (sophomore safety, Atlanta, Ga.); and Nate Gerry(senior safety, Sioux Falls, S.D.

and honestly, looking at the list makes me hyped for next year. we still need to find some really good DEs, but significant guys will be back next year with a ton of experience.

 

[Skerpokes]

Random thought, but if it were up to me I would make Drew Brown the honorary Sam Foltz captain week 1 this Saturday

 

[Tomhusker]

I wonder if there are plans to do a missing man formation for Sam Folts if/when the Huskers line up for their first punt?

 

[HuskerInSecLand]

That would be cool. But how would they do it? No punter?

 

[oaknightshockey1]

That would be cool. But how would they do it? No punter?

Yeah. It's been thrown out that we should line up with ten guys and no punter and then just let the play clock run out. I think a better tribute would be to just not have to use the punter all year.

 

[Tomhusker]

Yeah. It's been thrown out that we should line up with ten guys and no punter and then just let the play clock run out. I think a better tribute would be to just not have to use the punter all year.

I could support that.

 

[HuskerInSecLand]

Yeah. It's been thrown out that we should line up with ten guys and no punter and then just let the play clock run out. I think a better tribute would be to just not have to use the punter all year.

That's what his dad said he would want. The missing man would be cool too.

 

[oaknightshockey1]

Mostly like don't want us to do it because I get a serious case of seasonal allergies just thinking about it. I would lose it if it ended up happening.

 

[Exorbitant]

Yeah. It's been thrown out that we should line up with ten guys and no punter and then just let the play clock run out. I think a better tribute would be to just not have to use the punter all year.

If they allow TA to pass for 40 to 50 times per game they wouldn't have to punt! lol

 

[corn train]

MR said they would do something special on the first punt of the season to honor Sam Foltz, didn't say what it would be

 

[oaknightshockey1]

If they allow TA to pass for 40 to 50 times per game they wouldn't have to punt! lol

With him it is somewhat 6 in one hand, half dozen in the other. People forget that in addition to his 12 INTs the year before, he fumbled 10 times (losing 5) when he ran more.

i'm just so happy with this staff and how they are taking advantage of tools they have and then relaying that to people, because to me it is damn impressive:

State-of-the-art performance lab helps get the best out of each Husker

Nebraska’s defensive backs coach was watching film of his cornerbacks one day over the summer when he noticed an important detail.

His guys were changing directions — transitioning from their backpedal to a full sprint, for example — but it was taking too many steps to reach top speed. Assistant coach Brian Stewart wanted to know why.

So he called Dr. Jack Ransone, director of the Nebraska Athletic Performance Laboratory.


Soon, Stewart and some defensive backs were in the state-of-the-art training center inside the east grandstand of Memorial Stadium. The players were cutting and running on the artificial turf as motion-capture cameras tracked their movements and force plates installed under the surface measured their power output. They got the results right away.

And indeed Stewart was right. The way the cornerbacks were planting their feet limited their ability to burst — a flaw Stewart eventually realized was an unintentional consequence of drills he had used to imprint other unrelated techniques.

also, this sort of stuff really makes me think our secondary will have a big jump this year in their level of play. hope it happens.
