I feel like he probably would be, but could be off, Stockton has not played poorly and had a terrible dropped TD pass.

picking up Will Howard in the second (?) round. Was super impressed with him at K-State considering the lack of talent around him, and he’s been lights out at Ohio State. Has the measurables at 6’4”, 235+. Should work out great for him, as he’ll probably get a chance to sit behind someone for a season or so, rather than getting thrown right into the fire. Possibly at Pittsburgh?

Is right behind the student section a good idea with a kid? I think it would be fun with their energy but my 9 year old may not be able to see.

ND appeared to have this in hand but here come the Dawgs after a big pass play and a stop of ND on 4th down

Underwater roundabout 🤩🤩🤩

Georgia Southern transfer ILB Marques Watson-Trent has made it to Nebraska for his visit, according to his Instagram.

Watson-Trent had 10 tackles against Nebraska in 2022 when Georgia Southern beat the Huskers in Lincoln 45-42. The 2024 Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year has career totals of 365 tackles, 26 TFLs, 4 forced fumbles and 6 sacks. He had 118 tackles, 7.5 TFLs and 1.5 sacks in 2024. He has one season of eligibility left and will be a sixth-year player in 2025.

In another thread, it is being discussed how many kids sign here and then leave, never to be heard from again. Some kids quietly leave the game, while others move on to lower levels. I thought I would go back through the Rivals Database and see if I could find guys that signed here and either quit the game entirely, or moved to lower levels. Sarasota Husker had a cool series similar to this. Here's a snapshot of three players from the 2002 signing class:

Antoine Bagwell was a 3* recruit as a defensive back. He ended up not qualifying out of high school and attended California University of Pennsylvania. He starred at running back, eventually being inducted into that school's athletic hall of fame.

Brandon Greeson was a 3* recruit at DT. He ended up transferring from NU to North Carolina A+T in 2004 after playing sparingly. Currently working in the Guilford, NC school system as a student intervention coordinator and assistant football coach.

Jemayel Phillips was a 3* OT recruit. He stayed on the football team into the fall of 2003, then quit football. I was on a tour of the football facilities in the winter of 2005, and according to the tour guide, "Big Smooth" was still on campus as a student. He has since lived in Kansas City, and returned to his hometown of Winnfield Louisiana. He got married in 2018.

We have anyone in it ? Or considering us seriously?

I have the DVD of the 1971 Orange Bowl and will enjoy watching it tonight, Husker history..

All our lives we always watched the Orange or Sugar bowls on New years night.

Prayers for the lost lives in New Orleans.

UT, OSU in the rematch (but I honestly have no idea), and ND (GaT had them all but beat and ND will employ a similar gameplan)

Funny broadcast said it was a “delayed blitz”

This was not a delayed blitz, but a ballhawk at ILB coming up and making an instinctual play you can’t coach

You legit can’t teach this because you can be 95% sure Shavers blew his assignment here and wasn’t on an assigned blitz
