Football The Checkdown: Thoughts on high-upside Husker true freshmen

Here’s this week’s Checkdown.

No game to take a look at, so I focused on a few of the true freshmen who have seen the field.

Reactions: rgerner and apt2

Can Nebraska part ways with Guthrie , Taylor, and Barta to free up scholarships ?

Barta want out anyway and let’s give Ksucks this lowly 2 star.

Guthrie and Taylor so badly damaged physically they won’t even be in a playing conversation for 3 years and by then we will
have over recruited them.

This would put us at 24 ships with room for the portal. I believe the staff is looking this way as Benning and Crips are healthy
and seem to have replaced two of these three.

0T: anyone else have a reservation for an undelivered C8 Z06 Corvette?

Have been on the waitlist for almost a year and they are now saying it could be two more years for delivery.

I get it’s the stereotypical old man car… that’s the 1968-2019 mmodels…I,don’t wear aviator glasses or driving gloves…Laughing

Have owned a 1964 convertible (never should have sold that one), and currently only 1958 fuel injected.

The C8 is the epitome of a supercar…the Z06 Will be a phenomenon. Only hope I can get my hands on one.:confused:

...for Oklahoma.

We've all been waiting for weeks as the Rivals100 offensive tackle contemplates his decision. After checking with several sources, I'm confident that Oklahoma will win out for the Iowa native. I believe the Huskers were right there and had the lead coming into the season when he initially wanted to make his choice. When he delayed things, that allowed the Sooners' hot start and great relationship with OL coach Bill Bedenbaugh to tip the scales.

If this unfolds the way I think, it's obviously a tough loss for the Huskers who need true tackles in the worst way.

Volleyball Exstrom: Time for Nebraska Volleyball to prove this group is different

2017. The year of Nebraska’s last national title, but also the last time the Huskers beat Wisconsin.

In the battle of No. 1 vs No. 2, Saturday night gives this new group a chance to right the wrongs of the past 10 losses and kick off this new era without the lingering thought of the Wisconsin boogeyman waiting at the end.

My column on the biggest game of the college volleyball season. Hit the link.

Saturday is shaping up to be a huge day in sports history

Huskers exert dominance over the Big Ten West division, staking our claim as the best team in the worst division in college football.

Husker volleyball knocks off #1 Wisky and takes the top spot.

Volk proves he’s the best pound for pound fighter of all time, on two weeks notice.

DBacks run 3 straight at home to take a 3-2 lead over Philly, headed East, then eventually to being WS Champions.

Chimaev puts another nail in Usman’s coffin, officially ending the reign of the African three in the UFC.

Penn State and Ohio State decide who will play second fiddle in the Big Ten.

Bama drops two straight to Pudge Heupel, marking the beginning of the end for Saban’s reign of terror in college football.

To say that I will be having an unproductive day is flattery at this point. Not sure if I’ve ever logged 18 hours of TV time in a day.

Football Five Key Takeaways from Matt Rhule's pre-Northwestern press conference

Here are five key takeaways from Matt Rhule's Monday presser that we didn't touch on yesterday.


And another one that isn't included in the story below: Rhule spoke at length about moving guys around positionally and GUSHED about Jeremiah Charles and his flip from WR to CB: "Jeremiah Charles (was playing) wideout, wideout, wideout. And then they were like, ‘hey can you just give us some reps at corner too?’ And now all of a sudden we watch him at corner and think he’s going to be a DYNAMIC corner."
