Day One

NU practice notebook, 8/7: Spano 'not quite there,' not on 105

The coach said his team reported to camp in great shape.

“You see a lot of body types changing, even with the young guys who have only been here for two months,” Pelini said. “You see their bodies taking shape and more lean body mass, more athleticism. It’s a testament. I wouldn’t trade (Husker football strength coach) James Dobson for anybody. I think he does a phenomenal job.”

Nebraska returns to practice Sunday— the practice is closed to media — and practices every day until its first off-day on Aug. 15.

the players look huge. lots of lifting went on this offseason

 

[Red_Alert]

I agree...They have a more physical look

 

[iruletheskool]

Trey looks like a wall. and Rex isn't that far behind.

Niles looks twice as big.

Does the season start yet?

I get a feeling this team is very united and very excited for this season...Husker football is going to be punishable this season. These guys WANT it.

 

[HuskerResurrected]

dude NIles pAul should be a freakin linebacker...The dude is HUGE...Just do post routes all day long please.

With pipes like that it looks like the return of smash mouth football.

To maximize success there NU's gonna need a QB that can take off, and that ain't Lee.

I'm calling it now..

Green will be the starter while they bring Taylor Martinez along.

Green will be the starter while they bring Taylor Martinez along.

or Green will just be the starter until he graduates..

Green is gonna have to get better at throwing the short and middle range passes. He didn't look all that great in the spring game.

 

[HawkeyeHater]

The spring game is not a good evauluation of talent..... it's just not... in fact i'd bet if it wasnt such a big deal... Bo wouldnt have one

 

[iruletheskool]

the play calling in the spring game was so watered down that nobody could have looked good or bad...

 

[Red_Alert]

blasphemy

 

[Red_Alert]

Just remember the QB's weren't wearing green jerseys throughout spring ball or the spring game. This was a change from years past.

They were being evaluated amongst many other things.

Heck even the coaches evaluate themselves on film..

 

[HawkeyeHater]

They do that in prCtice too.... but all the matinez for qb crap coming off the spring game was stupid.... "we're talking bout practice".... It was practice- one day- not fall camp.... not spring camp... but one day- spring scrimmage and 3/4s of the state was all over martinez nutsack....

 

[HawkeyeHater]

Basically what I'm saying it.... bo can learn and evauluate his players just as well if not better during a actual practice....

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I really don't know if I see the players being huge tanks from what I can see.....maybe I don't have my goggles on or something.

I think they are just in better shape than they were last year at this time......I think they were in better shape towards the end of last season. It didn't seem like anyone was ridiculously huge, but the way the defense was able to come back out on the field every 2 minutes in that Texas game and keep competing was unreal.

To be honest, if a bunch of our players start gettin all bulky and huge that is going to concern me. Lean and quick is where it's at

 

[HuskerResurrected]

I don't see any other player being huge or mind boggling gains...But Niles Paul is without a doubt a monster in those pics..Those arms are bigger then my entire torso.

But I agree, lean and quick is what college football has evolved to. Bo is creating SEC speed in Lincoln.
