Notes from Fred Hoiberg on the Utah scrimmage from last weekend and a couple injury updates:

The best example of this is Indiana's new head coach.

On his yards per play Q&A today at his press conference. Oh boy. He says they’d like to be between 4 and 6 yards. 4 would be second to last in the country and 6 would rank them 58th I believe. We are currently at 5.5. The analytics community is in a frenzy on Twitter.

The wife and I are heading to Austin this weekend and we have never been there. What are the must eat restaurants, places to see, and things to do? Is there a husker watch site in Austin? Thank you for any feedback. Also is there a must eat restaurant or bar in San Antonio for Friday. We are flying into San Antonio Friday for a Billy Joel concert and leaving for Austin Saturday morning.

Obviously Kaz broke about every rule on the bored with his antics regarding Bob Diaco I mean Mark Standerfield.

@Zack Carpenter @John Talman and I were discussing his punishment and thought we'd let the people decide.

Choose wisely

I know lineman don’t grow on trees like skill players do. But I bet Nebraska could poach Lineman from G5 or even FCS schools. This would be the quickest way to get Nebraska turned around IMO.

Anyone ever been? I've been for work a few times in the offseason, but was in and out. Are there bars next to the stadium? Any recommendations?

now that the tissues have been wetted..let us put them away..

5-2, ohio state next
1. each player needs to:
a. execute (do as coaches instruct)
b. leave all effort on feild
2. each coach needs to:
a. observe game, make changes when needed
b. remove players not following 1. a, & b.
3. each fan needs to:
a. support team thru all kinds of weather
b. understand reality of rebuild year 2, and not be overly dramatic / no political posts

if the above is applied things can only get better, and going forward will produce better results
each coach during these games should note, performance, depth chart and needed quantity and quality, for when the transfer portal opens.

I had some time today to relax and watch some full game film of 2022 Georgia Tech and Jeff Sims. Not just highlights but a good mix of all plays. I have not watched 2020 or 2021.

First and foremost:
It cannot be overstated how much of a garbage truck fire Georgia Tech’s offense was as a whole in 2022 and their defense was not much better. They ranked 125th in points in a year where they fired their head coach after 3 games (sound familiar?)

Plays where you could really blame Sims were few and far between. Their pass protection actually looked worse than ours. Every 3rd play against top 25 teams there were O-linemen that were disregarded as if they didn’t exist. The play calling constantly resulted in big losses from lateral play attempts that were often predicted by defenses. Their receivers weren’t terrible but I would still give the Huskers the edge there. They didn’t seem to have a guy to take the top off as they barely threw it deep

Sims had notably better numbers both passing and ypc rushing in 2021. Tech’s RBs also dropped over a half ypc in 2022 from the prior year. So it’s clear their O-line got worse. 3 different Tech quarterbacks played meaningful snaps in 2022. Sims ranked 2/3 for passer rating but played the most by far and was the best runner.

Jeff Sims Pros:
- NFL arm talent. Throws short/medium range darts on ropes effortlessly, all day long
- Good mechanics overall, stands tall in the pocket and throws with a solid base and good leverage
- Reads the defense pretty well, knows when to check down
- Extremely tough and athletic runner who gets north and south quickly
- Extends passing plays with his athleticism

Cons:
- Does not always read the pocket and evade pressure as well as he could
- Lacking significant tape on deep throws but could put more air under some deeper throws to create better catching angles
- Could go through more progressions, lots of throws are predetermined but has also lacked time to do so.

As we know, the offense is likely going to hinge on how this O-line comes out but I am even higher on Jeff Sims watching him last season. He has not been a turnover machine since his freshman year. He reminds me a lot of Tommy Armstrong as a runner (possibly faster) and is a better passer.

WE are going to be FINE ... it's just going to be 2026 when it ALL comes together IMO @SantaBarbaraSker
