Wait? WTF is that? Where is the run too your spot, count to three, back up two steps and catch? That is a Nebraska jersey isn't it?

Kid gives a coherent interview, also I love that shirt.

I have a feeling LSU is going to kick themselves for not offering him a shot, they were the only other school besides us that gave him the time of day when he was looking to transfer out of Tulane

Lots of good things to say about us, Dinardo still has a stick up his ass for us even after all these years he couldn't resist taking a shot straight away " it was cold this morning", what a jackass

I liked what Howard had to say and I hope it leads to his son Houston suiting up for us in the future

I gained nothing out of that other than we're basically Wisconsin now.

Riveting stuff guys

If we field a top 10 defense and a smash mouth OL I'd be ok with that, we have some electric guys coming in on offense that Wisconsin almost never had beyond the RB position

i still need to watch, can't do that here at work. I'm fine with Wiscy defense level, i have no problem holding Ohio State to 23 points in regulation last year instead of the 62 we gave up or the 9 they held Iowa to. on the O, i agree with corn, i think in the skill positions we are ahead of wiscy, but we really need our o-line to step it's game up.

I hear that Tulane transfer QB is turning heads. But be the starter when it's all said and done.

watched the BTN live last night. nothing really that note worthy that i haven't been hearing. they didn't get a great look at O-line with no scrimmage and no hard hitting or anything. That's really my biggest area of concern, if those guys can generate a running game, that will take the pressure off of Lee and really make a huge difference in teams needing to play both.

Husker Notes: Akinmoladun Ready to Rush

In this article Freedom says the O-line is good, should i take his word?

“This offensive line is really good,” Akinmoladun said. “They’ve really made me better this year. From Nick Gates to (Jerald) Foster to (David) Knevel, they’re really improving. I can’t thank them enough, because if they didn’t give me a good look or didn’t practice well, I know I wouldn’t be getting any better.”

Maybe I'm overreacting but in retro the last two years the btn guys came away practically laughing at us

i think Cav knows his job is on the line this year:

"(Cavanaugh) has picked it up a lot on us since last year," Gates said. "Last year he was kind of laid back. He expected a lot out of us, but he wasn't on us like he is now. He definitely comes out and expects a lot more energy. ..."

anyone check out rule changes for this year? i just happened to see it when looking at some other stuff.

Need-to-Know Rule Changes for 2017 College Football Season > National Football Foundation > NewsDetail

Horse Collar Tackle - basically expanded to now include the shirt too, specifically where the person's name is. - this seems like it could be big, i recall a lot of tackles last year that was by this part of the shirt.

Leaping and Hurdling - basically expanded it that you can't jump over people to block kick/pat. previously it was only disallowed if you landed on someone.

2018 Rule Change – Knee Pads - ha, no more "biker shorts", players have to wear knee pads that cover the knees. but this was postponed to 2018 because teams already had equipment for 2017.

Point of Emphasis – Game Length - main thing was to just to be mindful of time. officials to do a better job of managing dead-ball time. previously teams could agree for a longer halftime, but they have changed this to be that they could agree to a shorter halftime and halftime will not be longer than 20 min. they also say the halftime clock will start quicker after the 2nd Q ends as there are always instances where something delays the start of that clock.
