I love the Cornhuskers haven’t had any threats so far this year. We’re good at every facet of the game, at least so far.

My prediction is that Illinois kicker, Olano, has a great day. 11/11 on PATs. 6/7 on FGs (missed 1 over 50 yarder).

I think we win by 10, but this is the best environment for Alvano to prove his worth. We win on big plays, grinding the run, or defense. But a kicker is needed in B1G play. What a way to show your worth.

This is 1 of 4 things IMO.

1. We prove our style of play can beat you in too many ways.
2. Alvano makes 2-3 FGs to bump us up from 1 to 2 scores.
3. We save the day with big plays… pick 6, scoop in score, deep passes.
4. We lose on not finishing drives and poor kicker play.

Long story short… we win big with opportunistic plays… making clutch kicks…

Or lose on not finishing drives that should change the scoreboard.

***A couple made FGs may end the drama early***. Alvano is pretty damn key IMO

Not to beat a dead horse on how bad Frost was but is Cam Jurgens the prime example of how bad of a developer Frost truly was? I get they got him to the NFL but he couldn’t snap the ball consistently for 4 years and he backed up on of the best centers for a few years and is now the starting center for the eagles and has looked great with the snaps. And he did a week ago as well.

Was poor on Saturday. WAY too many broken tackles by UNI ball carriers. That needs to improve vastly.

Offense was solid. Efficient. I appreciate the commitment to establishing the run.

Worth looking at

Just came out for these teams on my site

Minny 5.5
MD: 6.5 (seems insane!)
NW: 4.5
Purdue: 4 (Seems high)

I am going to regret doing but.. that super Purdue fan should be here in a few to let us know how Purdue will get to 5.

I think you can learn a lot about a team and how it is coached and about the QB from watching the 2 minute drill. I think @Steve Marik could do a great article on ours with pictures.

A good 2 minute drill needs to contrary things to be successful. You can't waste time, but you can't be rushed. Rushing just leads to mistakes. Be in control.

Fist think is not wasting time. It sounds simple enough, but it involves everyone doing their piece correctly. Starts with the playcalls, work the sidelines and first downs. A 5 yard gain in the middle of the field blows more time than it's worth. Save you timeouts, save them for your FG team if a TD isn't needed. Call plays that keep WRs on the same side of the filed. Teams waste a lot of time lining up, have a coherent set of plays that avoids that, very unproductive to have 5 seconds count off the clock as a WR runs to the other hash to get lined up. See this happen a lot in college, sometimes it's exacerbated with the QB getting impatient and snapping the ball before they get set, they you lose yards and 10 seconds. Get to your spot, get the call, get set, run the play. Not rushed but fast and in control.

College QBs do a lot of stupid things in the 2 minute drill. Often it's because they are trying to do to much. Just do your job, trying to do more often has disastrous results. Throw for 1st downs and sidelines. Don't get sacked, worst thing that can happen, lose a down, yardage and worst you lose time. See so many QBs do that spin out of the pocket to buy time, run around for 5 seconds then step out of bounds. If the play isn't there, just throw the ball away. QBs blow a lot of 2 minute drills just trying to do to much, trying to make a play that isn't there. Play smart and in control. 2 minutes is a lot of time when done right.

I've been very impressed with our 2 minute drill. It's been effective. Raiola has executed it great, he's been in control and made smart decisions. A couple of inaccurate passes against UNI, but otherwise it's been darn near perfect. Not rushed, but no time wasted, everyone knowing their job and doing their job. It has been great to watch and the control by Raiola and the coaches has been impressive. In a situation that a lot of college teams struggle with, we are excelling at, it's great to see.

Not to reopen old wounds, but it appears Shawn Eichorst landed on his feet after his failed Nebraska tenure. He's now the Deputy Athletics Director and Chief Operating Officer for Texas. He was hired by them in 2018 as Executive Senior Associate Athletics Director for Internal Affairs and later promoted to his current position.

Eichorst

Worth it?
