I will say this: before the season started I thought that the inexperienced OL, but especially the DL were going to be such a big problem, that I was predicting 6-6. Very glad that DL, especially, was better than the sum of their parts and that we sit 9-2. Definitely overachieved this year...

Study the Illinois vs Minnesota film, Phil! Do not let them run and force them to pass. Then harass the crap out of their QB.

Goodson also needs to do a better job of picking up the blitzer, too! Cutbacks are there… and would help solve a few problems with defenses that are over-committing to stop the stretch zone play.

Just like any youth baseball coach will tell his in-fielders - you have to play that ball and not let it play you. He should have shuffled forward on that play and snagged out of the air, before it got to that last bounce. Baseballs take funny bounces on that scratchy in-field dirt when you...

What a difference! What a difference! I am talking about Matt Campbell’s press conference. He took all the blame, didn’t throw his team under the bus. Multiple times. Compare that to what we hear out of Lincoln Nebraska. I have a lot more respect for Matt Campbell right now.

The passes he has dropped have all been high, IIRC. Maybe he has a sore mid-section and he is hearing footsteps. It is concerning. He needs to realize he is still going to get hit, whether he catches it or not … so just catch the damn thing!

Jack Campbell is pretty big (IMHO)for a LB. I get your overall point, though.

Yahya Black may be the guy that will become an All-American. He already has the body. Imagine if he has the Mitch King mindset…

I imagine JBO has at least 4 years of Lettering already. Maybe 5 already…

Man, if the SEC turns them down, I hope the B1G goes after them! Texas &Oklahoma in the West and give Purdue back to the East. Balance of Power Shifts to the West. If Nebraska doesn’t like it, let them walk! Bring in Norte Dame in their place.

A conference victory is more important, especially if your goal is to win the B1G West. Seems to me that the less we care about that Cyclone game, the more it would bother the Cyclone fans that we view it as the 10th most important game on our schedule. As opposed to their Super Bowl…

He has the first down signal tradition down already!

Let’s hope he is as determined of a recruiter as he was a runner..

I saw that Jay Norvell was named as a candidate to replace Miles. Please do NOT take that job, Jay. No.No.No.

sounds to me like he can really coach. I am curious about whether he can recruit...?
