I am rewatching the game vs. Ohio State for the 6th time now (hey, blame BTN.....they be replayin it again :dance:) and every time I watch it I notice some new instance of where Lavonte has taken over as a leader.

Now, just 2 weeks ago I ripped on Lavonte, Crick, and Dennard.......because they are All-Americans, and they weren't being leaders. Of those 3, Dennard has stepped up considerably and I have noticed in the way he acts around his teammates on the field. Lavonte, however, is perhaps the biggest leader on the team.

You watch this kid when he heads over to the sideline. It's one thing to make a play on the field, but it's his vocal leadership that suddenly came out of nowhere that is helping this team. You can make all the plays in the world, but leadership is required in order to create an overall feeling of confidence on the field. Lavonte did just that in the Ohio State game.

Watch this team moving forward............I will bet you guys anything our defense continues to get better and better, and at a faster pace. That 2nd half was more than just the offense making big plays.........the defense really stepped up. And it all started with Lavonte being the leader and the field general. Once he did this, other players began to step up as leaders......and soon you could tell the entire defense was confident.

I have a good feeling moving forward dudes..............a real good feeling. :)

For several weeks the talk show hosts has been ripping the big 3 and demanding them to step up. Welcome to the party.
Every talk show the past 2 days have praised David for his leadership, including Tommy Frazier last night. Welcome to the party.

We are reaching the real meat n potato's part of the schedule IMO. This will be the real test for our guys to step up and keep the momentum going coming off the OSU win. The road to the CCG goes through Ann Arbor, the only test the wolverines have left after this week with MS is @ Ill's and NU at home.

I dont know JJM, its not like you guys defensively dominated an inept Ohio State offense. I mean they put up 27 on you guys and it probably would have been more if Miller hadnt gotten hurt. I still think your D has A LONG way to go. Congrats on the comeback BTW. Always nice to see the Buckeyes lose :)

Dont be fooled man. Michigan is the same old team theyve been the last 3 years except they opened with 2 B10 scrubs this year instead of just 1. Wolverines are no better than 8-4 IMO.

I love all this "you only one because miller got hurt" "they would've scored more".....


You obviously werent watching the game, the two series before miller went out had the same results as all the series after he got hurt....

Oh I watched the whole thing and 2 series has nothing to do with it. Miller is simply better, more versatile and more dangerous than Baueserman. If you dont believe that then YOU obviously didnt watch the game. Im not hating on Nebraska, it was a great comeback but if you honestly dont think Miller staying in would have made a difference then Im not sure what to tell you.

ALso I NEVER said you only won because Miller got hurt. My response was to JJM saying that the defense is getting better. Its not. Its still terrible. You guys gave up 27 points to the 11th best offense in the B10. As I said last week its ironic everyone was on Martinezs back and busting his chops when he is the primary reason you are 5-1. If you didnt have him and had to lean on your defense youd probably be 2-4. LOL, talk about not paying attention.

Our defense relies A LOT on CB play.. Getting Dennard back to 100% will help a lot here pretty soon, and if SJB can step up in the #2 corner role, we'll be alright.


We need to get more contain from the ends and LB's tho..

I never said our defense has gotten alot better...........I never said they have even gotten better at all.

I said I bet you anything moving forward that they will get better.....quickly.

Nebraska isn't lacking talent on defense...........we have guys all over the field that all the top football programs in the country were drooling over coming out of high school. It's Nebraska........we're always going to have those guys on defense.

That's not the issue, and it never is the issue when it comes to winning football games. The real issue is how a team comes together, with leadership...........how a team gels. I saw the team do that in the 2nd half, and I haven't seen them do that yet this year at any other point. Trust me, I know my team...........I know them well.

Confidence as a unit = success as a unit.

Cool. I guess we'll see. The defense has definitely been the most shocking thing for me when watching the Huskers so hopefully for your sake you are right.
