Very interesting article by Sam this morning.
I asked how close his defense is to being where he wants it.
“Not close,” Banker said. “Not close. I just think the guys we have, have to learn exactly what our expectations are, whether it be technique or just the way to execute the things we’re trying to do. And we’re always trying to upgrade players. There’s no doubt about that. That’s what competition is. That’s what’ll keep these guys going. They’ll compete to remain on the field.”
Also good stuff on offense...
Despite those imperfections, NU rates second in the Big Ten in yards per offensive play behind Ohio State. At 6.18 yards, the Huskers are in line with the 2014 NU offense (6.2), the 2012 offense (6.22), the 2010 offense (6.09) and just behind the 2008 offense (6.38). For new coaches blending their schemes to a read-option team that lost one of the best running backs (Ameer Abdullah) and wideouts (Kenny Bell) in school history, this is good work. Nebraska finished the comeback against Michigan State that it couldn’t in 2013 and 2014, and this is also good work.
I'll check back later after work to see what you all think.
