I'm assuming Michigan will score, so Nebraska will need the time to come back and score. But that's just me.

So much for my belief that Michigan would score. I'll be happy if Nebraska can hold on.

Ludo, my hometown is Lake Havasu, AZ. Our conference included teams from west Phoenix, such as Cactus, Peoria, Dysart, Tolleson and Independence. Back then we were AA and AAA was the largest. Is your school in the largest division?

[Bronco Vixen]

wow..are you kidding me??

This officiating sucks.

PENALTY.....412 men on the field!!!!!

yeah its a 5A school. They are relatively new so might not have been around then. When u in school btw??


Odd ending, 1 more lateral and a Michigan win, wow!

Sorry, I had paused the game and saw the play about 2 minutes after you did. That was crazy.

[Bronco Vixen]

looks like that west coast offense has finally started to click

congratulations you guys - i guess :(

[Play2win]

That was the single most HORRIBLY, Agonizingly AWFUL and EMBARRASSING Games of OFFICIATING I have every seen in my ENTIRE LIFE.

It was beyond a Joke, but when it is that bad, you just have to laugh... ;D

[Florida_Bronco]

Well lemme take the time to say this...

Congrats to Michigan...you guys played your hearts out. The officiating sucked tonight for sure, but you guys left it all out on the field and earned my respect tonight.

I'm an old fart, graduated in 1980. Cactus and Independence were brand new schools at that time. There's probably been a crapload of growth out your way since then. Isn't the new Cardinals stadium in Glendale?

Congrats to Nebraska, but they better be sending a HUGE check to the Sun Belt conference for their officials.

Those bad calls went both ways (the penalty on Shanle during punt coverage) and Michigan had their chances to put it away.

1. 80+ men vs 11 men
2. No call on the PI on 4th down
3. 2 time outs to get a play overturned
4. 10+ seconds burns off the clock while the refs leisurely spot the ball in the final minute of the game.

Sorry, that is a world class blatant screw job.


The only positive that came out of this game is Michigan is officially the Big XII's bitch.

Cactus and Independence were new?? LOL

LOL Our road games were fun because we usually did 2 games over the weekend, and either way we'd still get home at 3 or 4 am because it was about 5 hours on the bus.

I went to ASU and graduated in 1985, so I haven't been there much in the last 20 years. When I do go, though, I'm amazed how it's grown no matter which direction you go.

[Kid A]

Wow. what a game. I had a heart attack on that last play. What a huge win for this program. Yes, the officiating was bad, but it was not as awful as some have made it out to be. They were slow on the 2 replays, called that crap return interference penalty, and seemed a little overwhelmed, but I don't think Nebraska was exactly handed the game.

Anyway I think we saw the potential this team has. We scored 32 points with craptacular pass blocking. Get some more o-line experience and look out. Restore the Order! Lets get 9+ wins next year.

eh, I wasn't rooting for any team, I'm just glad it was a good game

Michigan looked inconsistant liked they did all year long, that team has too much talent to let Nebraska back in the game when they were up by 10 points

I don't think Michigan got screwed too badly, it should've been a flag on that last play no doubt, but there were other calls that were just as bad against Nebraska

I still don't think Nebraska is all that good though

I am not a fan of either team but I was watching specific players whose names have been thrown around as potential draft choices.

The officiating was horrible nad althought it was exciting, I thought the game was played terriblly by both teams. Both teams lacked discipline and concentration on their assignments.

Gabe Watson - Former first round potential can be renamed Jelly Junior. He did nothing but stand around in the middle of the field and make Ross run around him. Bronc fans who want a pass rushing DT can cross him off their list.

Avant - Totally invisible until the fourth quarter when he made a nice catch on the sidelines and then on his next chance made the game changing mistake by fumbling. Caught a couple of quick outs later that meant nothing. Never saw him throw a block and seemed to run his routes lazily.

Bullocks - Sorry DB, but Until the last drive when he made a big hit after a 20 yard run (after he bit on the fake), he spent most of the time standing flat footed and/or out of position while the plays went by him. He may have some potential but he didn't show it last night.

Ross (QII) - Had a nice game and will probaly find his way on to an NFL roster, but it will be tough with the glut of RBs already in the NFL and in this draft.

Dude the Michigan players were on the field as well, shut the **** up! the two timeouts only got one play overturned, **** happens, he shouldn't have called the other, it's his damn fault. The 10 seconds, well yes, that was a mistake, but do you really think it mattered?

Stop being such a douche and admit Nebraska played a hell of a game, especially since you fags said it was going to be a 2 td (at least) blow out. _i_O_i_

[Florida_Bronco]

1. 80+ men vs 11 men

You did see that Michigan had run onto the field too? As a matter of fact, THEY were the ones that got in the way of the play, not Nebraska. I agree there should have been a flag, but all it would have been was offsetting penalties.

2. No call on the PI on 4th down

That one was close, but I don't think it was PI. Neither did the announcers IIRC.

3. 2 time outs to get a play overturned

Didn't Nebraska have to do that once too? Also, if the announcers are right, Michigan would NOT have gotten those timeouts back had they won the challenge, so it's a moot point. I agree though the whole NCAA replay system is ****.

4. 10+ seconds burns off the clock while the refs leisurely spot the ball in the final minute of the game.

This one was bad, no argument here.

No surprise here that your argument is totally one-sided and lacking any real thought. You didn't list any of the times Nebraska got screwed..ie the big one where Shanle was nailed for a 15 yard penalty on the punt return that gave them momentum when they scored the go ahead touchdown. Then you try to pin the people running onto the field squarely on Nebraska when Michigan was just as guilty.

Yeah the officiating sucked big time, and in my opinion they should be reprimanded by the NCAA at the very least.

[Florida_Bronco]

Dude the Michigan players were on the field as well

He conviently seems to forget that part.

Michigan had no answer for Ross, averaging 5.8 ypc.
The poor officiating went both ways. Looked like a preseason game at times, funny what a month off will do - bring in a playoff format.

Big win for the Huskers.

Penalties:
Mich 6-49

Nebraska had two touchdowns taken off the board. Not saying it was lopsided against Neb, but it was at least even.

I would agree with that. Hated to see him get a win last night. That said and I have long contended that no coach in the country gets less out of his talent than L.Carr. He is a pitiful coach. On tradition alone Michigan drags in top recruit after top recruit year in and year out. With the talent they get, a good coach would never be any worse than 9-3 after the bowl games and that would be a horrible year. They should be 10-2, 11-1, 12-0 year in and year out with the talent they get. You take any coach in the country and they would do no worse than match Carr's performance over the long haul. If Michigan had clue they would have canned him long ago.

The best part of the game was when they dumped gatorade on callahan while the final play was still going on. Then he realized it wasn't over and was looking nervous until they finally made the tackle. It reminded me of the clip of Shockey celebrating and as he did so they missed the FG.

I hope so, I really haven't seen enough of Oregon to make an honest prediction. I will say the AD is healthy, O-line is healthy, and we have Huepel back as our QB coach...PLUS Chuck "third and" Long won't be calling plays tonight so we might acutally do well!

If you want a "pull it out of my azz" prediction I will say OU 31-UO 21.

I'll eat crow for overrating that team and really can't believe that I gave the Wolverines any credit whatsoever, but you're still not going to convince me that the Big 12 is better than the Big 10...only idiots think the Big 12 is better.

Only probelm I had with the game is that Callahan should've just ran with Ross the entire game instead of ever throwing a pass, that was the only thing keeping Michigan in that game. Run Ross every down and NU would be sitting starters in the 3rd quarter as they look upon a 56-3 score.

That one was close, but I don't think it was PI. Neither did the announcers IIRC.

The Nebraska guy had his hand on the Michigan player's shoulders while the ball was in the air and he yanked him sideways to prevent the catch from being made. That's pass interference. Of course, as soon as the words "Michigan was robbed" came out of my mouth, that freaky last play made me forget about the pass interference. That was just a fun game to watch altogether...

I just think you're giving DB a label he don't deserve. I hadn't seen him on my MSN messenger buddy list during the whole time he was "gone" either, and it's not like he popped back in here shooting his mouth of about Nebraska winning.

Him coming back pry had more to do with the PM's I was sending him asking where he was.

anyways,


I just got back from San Antonio. Husker nation really represented itself well. We were everywhere. The river was was awash in red, and parties were abound. The game was awesome!! We all thought the reffing was pretty spotty, but personally, I don't give a rats ass. We won, most of the Michigan fans were pretty arrogant and looked down at being at the Alamo Bowl in the first place. It was pretty nice to see the look of shock on their face. I have to hand it to the players though. They didn't quit....most people thought the game was over after what looked like a final tackle which was fumbled. It was pell mell after that. I'll definitely be going to another bowl game.

Sorry BMF, Evenrude, Florida and Orangecrush, but I know I wouldnt want a fan like that in my fanbase (all three of us CU fans left heh)

Congrats on a strong finish Husker fan. Now... onto Basketball and CU's patsie preseason schedule :)

[BMF Bronco]

To All,

It's been a great season and hella fun talking **** with the opposition and getting my boys' backs. No hard feelings are to be had on my part for anyone on this thread. Now let's all join hands, sing give peace a chance and unite for our Broncos and enjoy our third super bowl championship!!!!!

Again, thanks for the fun and have a great new year!

[SoonerBronco]

I guess that is quite popular at sheep humping state schools like KSU!!Hilarious! Hilarious!

Well said BMF.

As much as we love to throw the smack around in here we can cheer for the Broncos in unision (except for you Saul you are just SOL ;D )

BTW what do the CU fans think of Shawn Watson? I don't know much about him but he may be coming to NU as a Tight End coach. I know I like the progress former CU coach Ted Gilmore has made with our WRs.... just curious what the over all thoughts were on Watson.

[Jens1893]

if theres one thing all cu fans agree on, it´s that watson is a clueless idiot

Evenrude, when I heard that rumor last night I immediately started praying to God that Callahan was that stupid. OK, not immediately as I was laughing for a good 10 minutes first, but immediately after that.

DO IT CALLAHAN!

[Saulbadguy]

From what I have read on Allbuffs, Shawn Watson is not very highly regarded. And that is putting it lightly, and in words that are not censored on this board.

Are there any specifics on why this guy is hated? I find it interesting Cally has been looking to CU for staff on multilpe occasions.

[Evenrude]

hehe... didn't Klatt get 44 school passing records under this guy?

He would be coming on as a TE coach, not anything I would be too worried about screwing up. NU's TEs were invisible this year anyhow, mostly due to the injury to Matt Herien but no one stepped up.

Callahan and Watson have some history together, they shared an office as graduate assistants at Illinios.

On a side note, Nebraska is the only team that has to face USC and Texas next year. Please go pro Mr. Young. ;)

Yeah and Klatt might have had more had he not been relegated to "game manager" the last two years. Look at his stats, decline each year from his first one.

You can consider it sour grapes or whatever, but trust me, Watson is one of the worst coaches in college football.

[Pezman]

Oh please, please football gods, let this be true! Watson is a egotistical POS. Believe me, he'll be a "run it up the middle on 3rd and long" plague on your team. You soooo dont want him Evenrude

[Evenrude]

We do?! Oh $hit, that can't be good!:-[ Yikes!

Yeah we have a home and away series with USC starting next year at their house. (shhhhh don't tell FAIDERPROOF though, he thinks we only schedule pansys ;D )

I mostly brought up the Watson issue to get a rise out of the CU guys..... I thought maybe he wasn't to highly thought of. Is he a decent recruiter though, that seems to be a theme with Billy C's coaching staff?

And if we win the north we might get to see Texas twice! Who would replace Young if he bolts for the draft? If Nebraska can win one of those two games I'll be happy. I remember K-State had a home and home with USC just before the Trojans won the title. Lucky punks.

Nicholls State to play Huskers
BY STEVEN M. SIPPLE / Lincoln Journal Star
Wednesday, Jan 25, 2006 - 10:26:14 am CST
Division I-AA Maine found little room to maneuver when it took a 25-9 loss to Nebraska in the 2005 season opener at Memorial Stadium. The Huskers will again play a I-AA opponent, Nicholls State, this season. (Jill Peitzmeier)
As far as Nicholls State athletic director Rob Bernardi knows, his school is the only public university in the nation that offers a culinary program for students.

Come September, Bernardi hopes Nicholls State distinguishes itself on the football field by cooking up an upset over Nebraska in Lincoln.

Bernardi said Tuesday that officials from both schools have signed a contract to play at Memorial Stadium in 2006. There’s only one hitch: Nebraska officials haven’t determined whether the game will occur Sept. 2 or Sept. 9, he said.

“We’re just waiting to hear back from them as to which date we’ll play,” Bernardi said. “I think they’re trying to work out some things with another opponent. But we intend to be in Lincoln on one of those dates.”

Nebraska is in the final stages of finalizing its 2006 schedule. The Huskers’ 12-game schedule next season has room for four non-Big 12 Conference games, and two of those contests apparently are set: Sept. 16 at Southern California and Sept. 23 against Troy in Lincoln.

Nicholls State, an NCAA Division I-AA team from Thibodaux, La., finished 6-4 this past season, winning its last five regular-season games to capture its first Southland Conference championship.

Nebraska athletic director Steve Pederson has said he won’t comment on scheduling matters until both the 2006 and 2007 schedules are finalized. NU’s 2007 schedule tentatively features home games against Nevada on Sept. 1 and Southern Cal on Sept. 15 sandwiched around a Sept. 8 road test at Wake Forest.

“Steve has tried to keep us informed and has been very apologetic, really,” Bernardi said. “Some of those athletic directors from big-time schools, you can’t even get them on the phone. That’s not the case with Steve. Every time I’ve called him, he’s called me back. We continue to be patient and just await word from them.”

Advertisement

Asked if Nicholls State had given Nebraska a deadline for a final answer, Bernardi said, “I think he’s certainly aware we need to put a period behind this thing soon. Hopefully, they’ll reward us for our patience.”

Nebraska, 8-4 in 2005, has played Division I-AA opponents in three of the last four seasons. This past season, the Huskers defeated Maine 25-7 in Lincoln.

Division I-A teams can count one victory over a I-AA opponent each year toward bowl eligibility. The rule went into effect in 2005.

Bernardi declined to say how much money Nicholls State will receive for its trip to Lincoaln. He did say Husker tailgaters should be ready for some tasty Cajun dishes.

“I’ve told Steve we intend to bring a band of Cajun chefs,” Bernardi said. “We’re an attractive opponent. We come with our own food.”

I'm not quite sure how to feel about this. Callahan is in his 3rd year and We play both National Championship teams, so why does Pederson feel the need to start us out against the JV football teams of the NCAA.

Last season, this stuff made sense, but there is really no excuse for this stuff this year.

Nebraska didn't have near the class they had last year, but filled some major holes. Maurice Purify should step in as a playmaker at WR and Kenny Wilson and Andre Jones should be immediate starters at RB and CB respectively. Menelik Holt and Mike McNeil are my two favorite freshman additions.

I'm feeling more and more confident with Callahan and his staff as time goes on after reading stuff like that, Evenrude.

[12th man]

That Herian kid is something special, and I too hope he returns to top form this year.
Me too. We have a good team coming back this year. We started to really click at the end of the seson last year, and I feel this year we will be dominant again. especially with herian coming back. Oud Defense is always good, and I thought cosgrove was going to **** it up this year but he didn't. He has my respect now. Callahan is bringing in good recruits the last couple years, we did lose cory ross wich was a big part of our offense, but Im anxious to see M.Lucky. He's going to be a stud. I will be suprised if we don't make it to a bcs game this year.

[DBroncos4life]

If Matt comes back as plays like he can (thats a HUGE if) we could see three Huskers in the first round. Matt, Bowman (fast as hell), and Carriker. Steve Octavien was our best LB last year but he only got to play 4 plays. It will be nice to see him ball. The D should be ready and Zac has more weapons to work with. The Oline needs to improve though. We can't be second to last in the B12 in sacks allowed.

[Nuggets4]

You guys have Watson. Don't underestimate his power to single handedly **** up an entire program.

[DBroncos4life]

You guys have Watson. Don't underestimate his power to single handedly **** up an entire program.
I'll kill him if we have to rebuild again!!!!!!

[DBroncos4life]

I was reading about Bowman and I guess he ran a 4.29 40. I'd like to see that at the combine though. If a 6'2" 200 pound DB can do that at the combine you would have to think his stock would jump way high. I can't wait till next years draft. There should be more players going into the NFL from this team in sometime. It helps to run a WCO. I really want to see where Taylor goes should he have the year they predict him to have.

[FADERPROOF]

I'll kill him if we have to rebuild again!!!!!!

I wouldn't be suprised to see Cody Glenn take the I Back job this fall. Also it's a little premature to be talking BCS bowl game. Let's concentrate on winning the Big 12 north first. Anything beyond that is gravy for next season. The Blackshirts are going to be awesome next fall and the offense can be as well if the oline starts to jell.

Huskers back at it



By Eric Olson
AP Sports Writer

LINCOLN -- Adam Carriker was talking about winning the Big 12 North. Corey McKeon was talking about having one of the five best defenses in the nation. Zac Taylor was talking about a renewed sense of confidence among the Nebraska football team.

Apparently the positives derived from three straight wins to end last season carried over as the Cornhuskers began spring practice Wednesday.

"We play a tougher schedule, but we can be very good," said Carriker, the Huskers' star defensive end. "We have a lot of returning people, and we're familiar with the system. There is no excuse, no reason why we shouldn't be very good and playing in the Big 12 title game."

Coach Bill Callahan said there finally is continuity and stability at Nebraska after two seasons of tumult.

A year ago the Huskers went into spring practice off three straight losses at the end of a 5-6 campaign in 2004. Callahan was still trying to install, and sell, his West Coast offense. He also was looking for a starting quarterback.

This spring the Huskers continue to draw positive vibes from their three-game win streak to end last year's 8-4 season. And they have an experienced, if not seasoned, starting quarterback in Taylor.

"There's a real, definite correlation to take a strong finish and build on it," Callahan said. "It's not the end-all. If we look back at the '05 season and say this is as good as we can be, we'd be fooling ourselves.

"We have to continually compete and take our competitive level up to bring a championship home to Nebraska. That's what we have to do this spring."

The Huskers have eight starters back on offense and seven on defense.

McKeon, who had a team-leading 97 tackles from his middle linebacker spot, said the players in position to take over for the lost starters can be as good or better than the ones they're replacing.

Key holes are in the secondary, where Tierre Green and Andrew Shanle are front-runners at safety, and in the defensive line, where Ola Dagundaro and Barry Cryer are vying for the tackle jobs.

McKeon said if those four progress as he expects them to, "we're going to be a very troublesome defense going into fall camp."

Callahan said players to watch are I-back Marlon Lucky, the heir apparent to Cory Ross; and newcomers Tyrell Spain at wide receiver and Victory Haines at offensive line.

A number of players have changed positions. Backup quarterback Jordan Adams is now a free safety. Also moving to free safety are former wide receiver Dan Erickson and former cornerback Bryan Wilson.

Former cornerbacks Green and Ben Eisenhart are now strong safeties. The strongside linebacker corps has new members in former defensive end Dontrelle Moore and former middle linebacker Lance Brandenburgh. Craig Roark has moved from offensive line to nose tackle.

Six players have been ruled out of spring practice after having off-season shoulder surgeries. They are offensive linemen Kurt Mann, Jordan Picou and Newton Lingenfelter, defensive end Tony Sullivan, running back Brandon Jackson and linebacker Nick Covey.

Backup place-kicker Eric Lueshen is out until fall after having back surgery last week.

Erickson, the free safety, will be limited after having his appendix taken out.

Ruled out of contact work are linebackers Stewart Bradley and Bo Ruud. Bradley had knee surgery, and Ruud continues to go through rehabilitation after breaking his arm before the Alamo Bowl.

Winning the Big 12 north is a given, and so is the big 12 period. whose going to challenge us? Texas with out huff of young? right. Oklahoma with the one man team in Peterson? please.those two will still be good teams but I think we will be better. Colorado? hahahaha? we win the big 12 alltogether and that means bcs game.

I was just trying to stirr things up. It's been a while since we whent to a bcs game. (in nebraska standards) and we have a real good team this year.but honestly, it's going to be tougher than how I said it was going to be and I know Texas and oklahoma are very good, I was just being an ulimate homer.

Carriker evidently enjoyed a strong off-season. "Freak of nature" is how McKeon described Carriker, listed at 6-foot-6, 295 pounds this spring after being listed at 280 last fall.

"He's gotten bigger and stronger and faster at the same time," McKeon said. "He's gotten to the point where he's not running sprints with the D-line -- he's running with the linebackers now."

Adam Carriker, that’s the guy that will surprise people the most. We all know he was good last year. But he’s a real freak now. He’s a totally different man out there now. He hit the weight room — he’s bigger and faster. He’s gonna have a really good spring.
Thats a qoute from Bullocks.

I really want this guy to be a Bronco. Odds are he will be off the board before we pick in the first round. I would really like him to go Peppers on teams this year :)

Carriker packs on muscle to increase intimidation


ROBIN WASHUT
March 23, 2006


As Adam Carriker strolled in front of the room full of cameras and reporters, everything his teammate Corey McKeon said just minutes earlier finally made sense.

After seeing just how much bigger, buffer and downright more intimidating the senior-to-be defensive end had gotten since last December, it was no wonder why McKeon could only describe Carriker as a ``freak of nature.''``He's gotten so much bigger, stronger and faster, it's ridiculous,'' McKeon said. ``He's a freak of nature, that's the best way I can put it.''

Coming off the best season of his career in 2005, Carriker showed up for the first day of Nebraska's spring practice on Wednesday a massive 6-foot-6, 295 pounds - the majority of it pure muscle.

Last season when he broke out with a team-best 9.5 sacks and 17 tackles for loss, Carriker weighed in at just 280 pounds.

Not only that, Carriker also reportedly clocked in a hand-timed 4.68 seconds in the 40-yard dash during the Cornhuskers' winter conditioning.

To put that time in perspective, most 300-pounders average about 5 seconds flat in the run. McKeon, arguably one of Nebraska's fastest linebackers, ran a 4.5.

``He is scary,'' said NU Defensive Coordinator Kevin Cosgrove. ``He's gotten bigger and stronger, and he really challenged his body in a short period of time. We really appreciate all of his hard work.

``He's about as physically impressive as anybody I've ever been around.''According to Carriker, the biggest adjustment he made to his training regiment during the offseason was in his diet.

After admittedly eating Burger King and Taco Bell nearly three or four times per week, Carriker met with Nebraska's team nutritionist James Harris and developed a strict eating schedule.

With chicken breasts, fruits and vegetables making up practically every meal, Carriker said he saw quick results in his size and muscle tone.

``Before I never really cared what I ate,'' Carriker said. ``When I started this new diet, at first it really sucked because I hated chicken breasts. But it definitely made a difference.''

For Carriker, a change in diet was only a small piece of a much bigger plan to make the most of his final season as a Husker.

Following Nebraska's victory over Michigan in the Alamo Bowl in December, Carriker opted to turn down a chance at entering the NFL Draft to return to Lincoln for one last shot at a Big 12 Conference championship - something the Huskers haven't won since 1999.

In his opinion, NU's talent, depth and newfound confidence this season were simply too much to pass up.

``Our goal is to play in a BCS game and win a Big 12 title,'' Carriker said. ``Every team says that's their goal at the beginning of the year, but you honestly have to have the personnel to do it, and we do.''

``You battle through so much stuff to where you get to the point where there's no excuses.''

If Carriker can somehow replicate his 2005 success this season, combined with his new physique, there's no telling how far his draft stock could rise by next April.

Considering that there are only three combined offensive linemen on the rosters of Nebraska's first three opponents this season - including Southern California - that weigh more than 10 pounds of Carriker, there's no telling just how dominant he could be in 2006.

As far as McKeon goes, he's just glad he and Carriker will be on the same side of the ball this season.

``You look at him and you're like, `Yeah, he's on my team,''' McKeon said


Oh yeah baby. I can't wait to watch him this year. I just hope that he plays like he can. 290 and still runs a 4.68 40. Thats what I want to see

SPAIN IMPRESSES: Wide receiver Tyrell Spain made a positive impression on Nebraska coaches with his performance during winter conditioning. The 6-foot-3, 190-pounder continues to impress in spring camp, said wide receivers coach Ted Gilmore. Indeed, Spain, who sat out last season because of academic issues, already has enjoyed significant time with the first-team offense. “I try to pick and choose which situations to put him in, because I don’t want to ruin his confidence,” Gilmore said. “By the same token, I want to put some pressure on him to learn.”

Gilmore also noted that wideout Frantz Hardy added 10 pounds to his 6-foot frame since last season, when he had 25 receptions for 349 yards

I don't know if this is going to be a problem but we seem to have alot of young talent at WR. Spain is impressive. From what I've been told he would have been our best WR last year if he could have played. Nunn from what I've been reading has improved and Swift was our best WR last year. He finished the year very strong. Hardy looks better, he was a 4 star that struggled but he looks better this year. Chris Brooks attitude sucked to start with but from the sounds of it he doing better. We added two more talented WRs. Purify could be awesome but I think he should RS this year. Holt is a juco so he can't really afford to sit out. Here is the break down of them

Hardy-Junior
Swift-Soph
Nunn- Junior
Brooks-Soph
Purify-Fresh
Holt-Soph?

Those are the guys that should see the most action. Not bad group for Taylor in his Senior year.

We have some pretty good wr's. props to callahan. he is a good recruiter. we are going to be a better team this year. I am a little concerned that ross is gone but Lucky, for some reason, I think he is going to be a stud. pluss codey glenn is pretty good too. I somtimes wonder if they will be better than ross. ross is in the top 10 rb's in nebraska history. He is a big reason for our sucess last year. could lucky or glenn mathch that? I belive so, but somtimes I doubt myself. I think my uncertainty comes from glenns and lucky's inexperience. for some reason I know they will be good, but they haven't proven anything to me. but I belive in them.

Lucky is a 5 star RB, the second best RB in that class. He is talented and the job is his to lose. Glenn is a monster of a RB. 6'0" 230! He is hard to stop at the goal line and is doing damn good in camp so far. Thats where the real battle will be in camp this year. I want Lucky to live up to his talent, because if he does this team will be pretty damn good next year.

Im betting he will be better than solich. I mean I was upset at first when solich left because he ran the option, and that's what osbourne did and was obviously sucessful at it for many years. I didn't think at the time we should have changed that. Why fix somthing that aint broke? but solich was a horrible evalulator or talant and bringing in recruits. see jamal lord. fast as hell, but not that great of a qb. I think he would have made a good wr. he had corey ross as a db when ross first came here. Calahan has brought in right people, very good recruits to run the west coast, and it is showing. It's not perfect, but it's working. he is only in his second year. there is more to improve on, but we are definatly in the right direction. don't underestimate him. he had to rebuild a team that is tought option to west coast. that's pretty hard to do in two years as much as he has accomplised. next year will be better. as far as our D goes. Well cosgrove has done a great job keeping the black shirts as their dominant selves. I was upset we didn't keep polini (sp) but cosgrove has done an excellent job.

Nebraska I-back Cody Glenn capped a strong opening week of spring practice with a *seven-carry, 61-yard performance Saturday as the Huskers ended their workout with a 28-play live scrimmage at the Hawks Championship Center.

“It felt really good for me,” said the 6-foot, 230-pound Glenn, battling fellow sophomores Marlon Lucky and Leon Jackson for the starting job. “It gave everybody a chance to see where they were at.”

The 6-foot, 210-pound Lucky carried four times for 20 yards and also had a 15-yard reception. The 6-1, 210-pound Jackson rushed once for 12 yards.

Saturday marked Nebraska’s third and final practice of the first week and its first in full pads. In the “first-and-10 scrimmage,” the offense received a point if it gained four or more yards. If the offense failed to gain four yards, the defense received a point. Final tally: Defense 17, offense 11.

“That’s why you saw the offensive players running (sprints) at the end,” Nebraska coach Bill Callahan said. “Of course, the defensive players will eat first today for lunch.”

Quarterback Zac Taylor completed 3 of 5 passes for 24 yards, and backup Harrison Beck was 3-for-5 for 46 yards. Earlier in the practice, Beck struggled during a 7-on-7 drill, misfiring on 9 of 11 passes and throwing two interceptions, one by Matt O’Hanlon, the other by Brandon Rigoni. Taylor was 11-for-16 during the 7-on-7 drill.

Callahan said he remains confident in Beck.

“Guys are going to have ‘off’ days,” the coach said. “We put a lot of things into the offense today. I’m very patient in that respect. I don’t jump to any conclusions, and I look at it as a coaching opportunity to improve Harrison. He’ll get better. There’s no doubt in my mind.”

Glenn ripped off runs of 30 and 20 yards.

“The thing that impresses me is he continues to build speed and power through the hole,” Callahan said. “Not only does he have that attribute, but he still has that cut ability and he has a little elusiveness in his game as well.

“The big thing is he continues to improve as a player. His (pass) protection skills have really improved, and his ability to run routes down field on the perimeter has really been important. He’s becoming more complete as a back, just like all of our backs.”

-- ‘BONDING SESSION’: After engaging in a heated scuffle during Friday’s practice, neither wideout Grant Mulkey nor linebacker Steve Octavien was on hand for Saturday’s practice. “They were having a little bonding today,” Callahan said. “They did some bonding off the field, away from the team, to get their minds right.” Callahan said it was important to quickly address the issue. “The thing is, I want to be able to practice right. There’s a certain code of ethics when you practice together. It’s a privilege to practice together.”

-- HERIAN UPDATE: Senior tight end Matt Herian, recovering from a broken leg suffered in October of 2004, didn’t participate in Saturday’s practice. He jogged around the edges of the field without shoulder pads or a helmet. In addition to his leg injury, Herian has been bothered by a sore hamstring.

-- YOUNGSTERS INVADE: A total of 529 children ages 8 through eighth grade participated in the Husker Youth Experience following Saturday’s practice. After a simulated Tunnel Walk onto the indoor field, Husker players and coaches sent the kids through various drills, much like a practice. “It was great to see the little Huskers come out and spend an afternoon with our players,” Callahan said. The kids also watched motivational videos shown to the team before games.

how could you rate us fifth. no logic in this. first off A&M had a worst record than us last year, and they will be getting a new qb as we will be improved from last year. second It's biased that you have four south teams above any north team because the talant gap between the North and south teams will be more even this year. Texas loses inVINCEable and these are the games they would have lost without him. 1.osu. 2.a&m and they probably would not have made the championshp game if they had not won those games or had vy. without vince mack brown and texas are once again underacheiver. like when they had applewhite and simms, and rw and cedric benson and roy williams. Tech has no D, just an offensive juggernaut and they lost their best rb this year. I could say they lost their qb too, but they always sh1t out qb's anyways. I agree Ou will be one or two. they have a good team. If you think South teams are that much ahead of the north then they will just beat up on eachother and finish with worst confrence records than the North teams. so theoretically the North teams would be better. ha. anyway, you do have us first in the North so I guess we will see Ou in the big 12 championship game. and we are the best team in the North. don't underestimate us. Michigan did and look what happend to them. and you are definatly underestimating the huskers and calahan. he is doing great things for us. as far as the solich thing, He did get us to a championship game. I don't want to take that away form him. but he did it with osbornes players for the most part. then the jamal lord era began and we were good but not great. solich is a good coach. just a horrible horrible recruiter. we could not win a championship with the players he brought in. Nebraska is about winning championships. calahan is a great coach and a great recruiter.

[Evenrude]

He took them to a title game two years after taking over a National Championship team....... they then got throttled by a much more talented Miami team. They didn't even sniff a title after that game.... and each years recruits were getting worse.

It's funny most condemn Callahan for getting blown out in a superbowl, but praise Solich when he did the same in a NC game? It's much easier to ride the wave of your predesessor in college ball than it is in the pros.

Actually, you can't argue with that ranking at this juncture. I do believe that NU was the best team in the Big 12 North at the end of the season, but how they will perform against the South is up in the air until they play the games.

One key to NUs season will be the health of Zac Taylor. If he goes down with an injury for any length of time, they will be in trouble. So far the back up Harrison Beck has not grasped the offense well enough to step in.

Ah yet another highly intelligent post from some disgruntled CU fan.

Son, if you're going to post on here, at least have an arguement. We can take the husker bashing as long as it's more than "huskers suck" (in my best O'Doyle rules voice). Take Nuggs, Master_Pain, Faderproof, hell at times even Saul can make a logical arguement, and we Husker fans have the utmost respect for these guys, well most of them. So you're welcome here, just bring a bit more to the table than did your dad with the gene pool.

Saturday's scrimmage.

The Huskers practiced short-yardage and goal-line situations before working offense against defense for almost 90 minutes. The No. 1 offense operated mostly against the No. 2 defense, and vice versa.

Callahan said Glenn's ability to gain yards after contact most excites him. He knows how to "finish off runs." That trait should serve him well in the fall.

Ndamukong Suh is a monster – To listen to Suh himself, he’s got a long ways to go in his progression in regard to his technique. That may be true, but ask any of the interior linemen what they think of trying to handle this young man as it is. They can’t and more often than not don’t, and it’s only the double team that keeps this sophomore out of the backfield almost every play. What a future this young man has.

With Carriker and Turner, it would be good to get a guy inside that has to be double teamed to be stopped. Overalll the D should be improved from last years team, which is great news for us.

Sounds like the o-line is making some improvements, which could be a big plus. Taylor's toughness was the only thing that allowed him to survive some games last year. Hopefully we can take advantage of a year when everyone else is in major transition.

Only Baylor allowed more sacks in the B12 then us. I think it was two more. Taylor was sacked 48 times. He is tough and it will help him when it comes to NFL time.

yeah. he's tough.taylor was sacke a lot and I rembember watching the bowl game this year and the announcers asked him if he ever got in their face and yelled at his lineman for being sacked so often. and he said. "no I can't do that" and somthing to the effect of they are trying their hardest and I know they are adjusting to the new offense. or somthing like that. so as much as he got sacked and as much little time he had to work with when he snapped the ball he never blamed them. I respect that.

[Evenrude]

Sounds like the o-line is making some improvements, which could be a big plus. Taylor's toughness was the only thing that allowed him to survive some games last year. Hopefully we can take advantage of a year when everyone else is in major transition.

Chris Patrick and Matt Slauson have been stellar so far this spring at OT. It's the inside guys that are still somewhat of a question mark. Starting C Kurt Mann has been injured and not able to play this spring. The best athlete of the bunch Lydon Murtha has been running with the second team.... all 6-foot-8, 325 pounds (with a 4.8 forty) of him.

Five ****ing years ago is right, and it still seems to be all Buff fans talk about. There's a reason Husker fans won't be talking about "30-3" in hushed tones 5 years from now...because we expect to kick colorado's ass.

Dude, seriously, that win has been your fleeting claim to fame for 5 years now. That's like KC still bragging when Montana beat Elway. Its far beyond relevance here, the only thing that should resonnate in your mind is, "fu@k, we got thumped last year by our arch-rivals and we're clearly headed in opposite directions. They're getting better and we still suck. But wait, we always have 1991!"

Tyrell Spain has the look of a big-time receiver. He’s 6-foot-3, 190 pounds. His hands seem sure. He has ample experience of running a West Coast-type offense in junior college. So what’s keeping Spain, a newcomer on the Nebraska football team, from making a serious run for No. 1 on the depth chart?

Nebraska’s other receivers, he said. “They’re farther ahead than I am,” Spain said, “and I need to catch up.”

In other words, despite the exciting things you may have read and heard about Spain over the past year, remember the transition he’s encountering.

“I still have a long way to go,” Spain said. “Every day is a competition. You’re going to come out, and you’re going to showcase what you can do every day. I’m just working now to get better, perfect the offense, perfect my technique.”

Tampa Bay coach 'impressed' with Taylor

BY RICH KAIPUST



WORLD-HERALD BUREAU

LINCOLN - Nebraska quarterback Zac Taylor added a pretty high-profile football mind to his list of believers Friday.


Jon Gruden

Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden praised Taylor after watching the Huskers' two-hour practice. He said Taylor should be setting himself up for a solid senior season.

"I've seen guys take major jumps in year two as a starter in this system,'' Gruden said. "I think his intelligence, his background, is really going to help him this year. I'm impressed.''

Observing practice was part of the Nebraska spring football coaches clinic, which includes more than 700 participants. Gruden and former NU defensive coordinator Charlie McBride spoke to the group Friday night, and former Kansas City Chiefs head coach Frank Gansz is scheduled for today.

Gruden liked how Taylor ran the show in what he called a crisp and efficient practice inside the Hawks Championship Center.

"I saw him making all kinds of throws today - moving to his right, moving to his left, from the shotgun, three-step drops,'' Gruden said. "I'm impressed with his toughness. He takes hits, he gets up, he keeps playing.

"He throws a friendly ball. I think the receivers have a lot of confidence in him. He's got a great command of this offense.''

It's an offense that's familiar to Gruden.

Nebraska head coach Bill Callahan was offensive coordinator at Oakland from 1998 through 2001 when Gruden was the Radiers' head coach. Callahan then was head coach at Oakland in 2002 when the Raiders lost to Gruden and Tampa Bay in Super Bowl XXXVII.

Their relationship led to Gruden, 42, doing something this weekend he normally wouldn't consider.

"This is the first clinic ever, really, that I've had a chance to speak at,'' Gruden said. "If my wife knew I was here doing this, she'd be awfully mad at me.''

Callahan took the Nebraska job in January of 2004, just as Gruden was trying to bring him to Tampa Bay. But he understands why Callahan answered the Huskers' call.

"I'm proud of what he's doing here,'' said Gruden, who also worked with Callahan on Philadelphia's staff from 1995 through 1997. "I know what he's up against. I know the challenges he has. I'm just excited to see what he's doing with this program and where they're going, and to witness it with my own two eyes was something that was important to me.''

Some other Gruden comments Friday:

• On being impressed with Husker I-back Marlon Lucky: "He looks like a fine player. I just see a guy who's got great energy and quickness and pass-receiving ability.''

• About the NU and Tampa Bay offenses: "There are some similarities, some concepts, that Nebraska probably runs better than we are right now, after watching this practice. So I've got to get home and get back to work.''

• On former NU linebacker Barrett Ruud's rookie season at Tampa Bay: "He's a guy we think eventually will take the torch and become our middle linebacker, but he's going to have to earn that opportunity. He's backing up a guy right now (Shelton Quarles) who's a tremendous player. But he's got a lot of skill.''

Gruden tried to bring Ruud with him, he said, "But he had tickets to see the Grateful Dead in New Jersey. So I'm a little down on Barrett right now.''

• On Monte Kiffin, 66, heading into his 11th season as the Bucs' defensive coordinator: "Monte's going to be around forever, I think.''

Kiffin was NU defensive coordinator from 1973 to 1976.

"Believe me, he's very proud of his roots,'' Gruden said. "I know he talks about this place all the time.''

Herian still hopes to return in the fall

NU football schedule

LINCOLN - All those old, tired clichés now make sense to Matt Herian.


Matt Herian

You know, how injured football players say sitting out makes them appreciate the game more. How they talk about having good days and bad days. How they say they can't let themselves get down.

The Nebraska tight end has been spitting those out for almost 18 months.

"I can't imagine what he's going through, but from everything I've seen he's real positive and he's real excited to get back," Huskers quarterback Zac Taylor said. "He's stayed motivated, and that's hard to do when you've been injured for so long."

Herian spoke Saturday as if the worst of it was over in his return from a broken leg eight games into the 2004 season. So bad was the fracture of both his tibia and fibula that it required two surgical procedures and hasn't allowed him to play a game since.

Asked if he could ever be 100 percent again, Herian said yes without hesitation. Asked what he would be doing in spring practice if not for a March hamstring injury, Herian said he would be full go.

"I'm on schedule to play this season," Herian said. "That's all I ask."

That prognosis has been in question since last spring, when it became clear that his left leg wasn't coming along quite right.

"It started healing then kind of slowed down, like it wasn't set right," Herian said. "They realized they needed to do something before too long, so we made that move. It probably took longer than it should have."

Herian never looked close to playing last season, settling for a redshirt and trotting the sidelines all fall. Questions have persisted as the senior still hasn't flashed his old form this spring, but Herian traces that to the hamstring he hurt about two weeks before practice opened.

"Through winter conditioning I was doing fine, until I tweaked the hamstring," Herian said. "Everything was looking just as good as it was before, so I was happy with my progress up until that point."

The Huskers have put Herian in full pads in recent practices but not yet thrown him into "live" drills. Playing in the spring game next Saturday would seem a long shot, and NU coach Bill Callahan said it would be unnecessary if Herian isn't fully ready.

"I haven't really talked to the coaches about it yet," Herian said. "Every practice I'm just doing more and more, getting comfortable with it, and we'll see next week."

Next season is way more important than next week, obviously. Nebraska no doubt could use the former All-Big 12 tight end who owns 53 career receptions for more than 1,000 yards.

"As I get to know him, he's really a special guy," said Shawn Watson, NU's first-year tight ends coach. "He's got a lot of want-to there. I'd never bet against Matt. In our plans, Matt'll be there."

Steven M. Sipple: Herian says he'll be at full speed
BY STEVEN M. SIPPLE / Lincoln Journal Star
Sunday, Apr 09, 2006 - 12:07:00 am CDT

Ah, spring football.

Sweat and optimism permeate campus practice facilities across the country.

You see, nobody loses in spring football, at least in the conventional sense. There are setbacks, but mostly there are victories. They’re often little victories, sometimes undetectable, but victories all the same. It might be a young I-back suddenly understanding a blocking concept. Or a player bonding with his position coach. Whatever. It’s small stuff that can mean a lot.

Nebraska picked up one of those victories Saturday.

Tight end Matt Herian, in his first extensive interview since fracturing two bones in his left leg in October of 2004, said he expects to be fully recovered for the 2006 season.

And there it is, a sentence that will set Husker fans’ imaginations swirling and bobbing like a kite in a 30-mph wind. Matt Herian at 100 percent? Back to his old self? With his trademark speed? In Bill Callahan’s pass-happy offense?

Too good to be true? We’ll see.

Hey, it’s spring. Go ahead and imagine the possibilities.

Imagine the 6-foot-5, 245-pound Herian matched against a safety. Herian wins the jump ball.

Imagine Herian, assuming all of his speed returns, matched against a linebacker. Herian wins that foot race.

In short, Herian presents a matchup quagmire for defenses.

“There are not a lot of tight ends who can get vertical (down field),” said Husker backup quarterback Joe Ganz. “Safeties tend to sit on the tight ends because they don’t respect them vertically. If a tight end can get deep, that can really open up the passing game.

“You hit him down the seam on a vertical route, now the safety’s scared to death that he’s going to go deep again. So now the tight end can run the basic crosses across the middle or curls in the middle.”

Asked if he can regain all of his speed, Herian said, “I think I can. I know I can. The doctors said there’s no reason I shouldn’t.”

Herian said his broken leg is no longer the issue; it’s the hamstring in the same leg.

“During winter conditioning I was doing fine, until I tweaked the hamstring a little bit,” he said. “Everything was looking just as good as it was before.”

As a freshman in 2002, Herian wowed Nebraska coaches when he sprinted 40 yards in an electronic time of 4.67 seconds, second-fastest among Husker freshmen behind current NFL cornerback Fabian Washington (4.61). For perspective, I-back David Horne ran a 4.78 that day.

Herian put his speed to use. He caught seven passes for 301 yards and four touchdowns in 2002; 22 for 484 and three scores in 2003; and 24 for 308 and three TDs in eight games in 2004. All told, that’s 20.6 yards per reception.

In the eighth game of 2004, Herian was blocking on a run play when a Missouri linebacker unintentionally landed on his leg. Herian was carted off the field. Memorial Stadium fell silent.

Herian had fractured his tibia and fibia. Doctors told him the tibia doesn’t always heal quickly, he said.

“It’s such an important bone,” the tight end said.

He underwent an initial surgery in November of 2004, missed spring practice, then underwent another surgery in April of 2005.

“It started healing, then kind of slowed down,” Herian said. “The healing stopped (after the first surgery), and the doctors realized they needed to do something before too long. … It probably took longer than it should.

“They said it’s not uncommon for that stuff to happen.”

Regarding the rehabilitation process, Herian said, “There have been good days and bad days.”

He said he refused to get down on himself and never doubted his return to full strength.

He said he learned the value of patience and no longer takes football for granted.

He said he now feels “a little rusty.” After all, he has been unable to participate in live scrimmaging, let alone a game, since incurring the injury. Consequently, he’s unsure whether he’ll play in Saturday’s annual Red-White Game.

“Every practice I’m doing more and more, until I get comfortable with it,” Herian said. “We’ll see next week.”

Said Callahan: “We want him for the fall. Beating the White team or the Red team ain’t the big thing right now. It’s more important to get him ready for the fall.”

Nebraska has quality players at tight end, but nobody who approaches Herian’s prowess when he’s healthy.

Please flash back to November of 2002. Nebraska vs. Texas. A counter-boot-throwback play. Herian runs a post pattern, sprinting past cornerback Nathan Vasher with those impossibly long and easy strides.

“A wide receiver running that fast would be exceptional,” former NU assistant Ron Brown said then. “For a tight end, that’s phenomenal.”

Herian now looks you dead in the eye and insists he can be that player again.

Imagine that.

Lucky had two tds as well. It could end up like Usc with White and Bush.

[Florida_Bronco]

Definitely a diamond in the rough!

Had he not died prior to the draft, there is a very real chance he could have been a Bronco. When he was young, he went to a football camp that Gary Kubiak held, which is where he was put on the track to being a quarterback. If I recall correctly, Brook and Kubiak remained good friends up until Brook's death, and Kubiak has mentioned that he was very interested in drafting Brook that year.

However despite all that he was on the football field, we shouldn't forget the type of person that Brook was. This is a man who, when he came upon some free time, would go the local children's hospital and spend time with the patients. This is the same man who on his first day of practice at NU, witnessed several of the upperclassmen players making racial jokes in the locker room, to which Brook politely asked them to stop and almost immediately won the respect of everyone on the team.

RIP Brook

High Octain might just find himself in the first two rounds next year. The say he is better then Demorrio and he is 10 pounds bigger.

Lucky had two tds as well. It could end up like Usc with White and Bush.

I'm glad to see Cally is putting some emphasis on the running game. Our lack of one last year hurt us (though it had nothing to do with Ross). It's fortunate we found one in the second half of the Alamo bowl.
