74Hunter good to see you on the board. I am going to Lincoln for the big game with my two teenagers. Looking forward to silencing some of Husker Nation...LOL. Just curious your insight...I have watched every Husker game this year.
Some of my concerns about Nebraska:
Some of my concerns about Nebraska:
- Westerkamp is a possession type receiver that is willing to cross the middle and if Riley will be patient enough to dink the ball the down the field that may be successful.
- Your TE's are capable receivers and I think Minnesota showed we have trouble there..although I believe we can right that ship.
- Your read option, which resemble the old "Osborne" read option is a concern to me...although we are a good assignment football team there is always the chance Tommy breaks one.
- Your defense is getting healthy...although your defense does not spark the fear of blackshirts past.
- Your team is at that fragile point where they have suddenly tasted success, and that is a bonus for you
- Bowl eligibility is on the cusp
- Senior Day
- Extra preparation, although most teams spit and sputter coming off bye weeks
- Our offense is perhaps the most balanced offense in the big ten.
- We have the receivers, TE's and screen game to exploit your secondary.
- Our TO margin is fantastic...Tommy is prone to interceptions, fumbles, and that is an issue
- Our secondary is so good at baiting teams into trying to force passes into those layers between zones...we can pick those passes off
- Our defense can and will make you one dimensional...love Tommy but he is a TO waiting to happen.
- Special teams is in our favor...I feel in all phases
- Our offensive line is really clicking and I think they can enforce their will on your defense
- We have a 4 headed monster in RB's that can wear down your defense
- We have so much bulletin board material, from AD comments about Iowa's program, to the blown lead last year
- This team has that something special about it...refusing to lose, if I could quote an old Husker saying.
- Memorial stadium will not phase this team or QB
- I really believe your coaching staff is really getting use to the style of play in the B1G and our staff is clicking on all cylinders this year
- Most importantly...we are undefeated and have more to play for...even if it is senior day, bowl eligibility, etc
- Iowa does best when no one gives the any respect...and everyone in Nebraska, national pundits are saying our streak stops Friday.
- My thoughts are coined from Wyatt Earp, "Tell Nebraska Iowa is coming, and hell is coming with em!"
- Iowa 31 Nebraska 17...Nebraska scores 10 points late.
