Nebraska football assigns new Blackshirts plus more Cornhuskers news

Nebraska football hands out new Blackshirts, plus another top-10 matchup for the volleyball team.

huskerbigred.com

The Huskers only managed 14 points against Rutgers. But the defense made it stick. Ceyair Wright was a big part of that with an interception. So was Buschini and both players were seen practicing in Blackshirts this week according to Sean Callahan of Husker Online.


It’s well-deserved for both players. Wright has been fantastic since coming off the bench against Illinois. Callahan also reports that Wright is working with the starters, alongside Tommi Hill. That would move Marques Buford to the slot and possibly Malcolm Hartzog to the bench, although he would still see plenty of snaps.

As it should be. Love Buford and thought he did an admirable job but he isn't a CB. He's much better fit at that safety and Hertzog imo isn't in the ball park at CB as Wright and Hill. I'm hoping we can be a bit more flexible and play some more man with these two on the field at the same time.

Let’s all hope that Hill can play the whole game.

 

[Sodakred]

Hill's injury had a silver lining by getting Ceyair off the bench. Together, they should really help against the uptick in competition through November,

 

[BleedRed78]

Pretty proud moment for Boom. Not often a punter gets a Blackshirt... Has there ever? I'm certain there has but admittedly idk.

In a way, the punter is a part of defence essentially. Hold the field then flip it as best as possible to be conducive to the offense going out with favorable odds to score themselves.

My freshman son who plays corner watched the Rutgers game and was picking apart Buford’s footwork during the game. Now to be fair his cousin plays in the league and the kid has spent a lot of time drilling technique. But still - he’s 14.

Agree, but should add that he’s also been making his share of tackles….
which should never be necessary considering there’s 10 other guys to make the play ahead of him.

Butler just got here in time for fall camp & Buford is a Junior with a few bad habits give it time. I've been pretty impressed with Butler in his short time here and am excited to watch what he can do with these guys. Ceyair is a prime example who has benefited, Butler will get much better too if he listens to Butler and applies himself

Or… The 14 year old doesn’t know quite as much as he thinks he does.

You go watch Buford’s feet on the Rutgers third down and long play out of their end zone and tell me what he did or didn’t do. That’s an easy one.

Yes and I absolutely love Buford and a couple of those other guys as well. But he's been outta position. Hopefully we start getting some of these guys some more work. Let's get some talent out there in the Field.

[GBRforLife1]

That's badass for the punter.

Great achievement for Ceyair too.

I hope that kind of effort and performance not only speaks of their fortitude but also the coaching.

Hartzog is a better fit in the slot than Buford, IMO

He at least has ball skills

Buford seems like a perfect backup to singleton to me

Buford isn’t a corner

I prefer Hartzog in the slot and suspect this is how we’ll play a majority of nickel snaps (which is to say all snaps)

 

[TruHusker]

Hartzog was a CB and came on a freshman. He didn't seem to progress and in fact, WR's figured him out. So he moves to safety where the man to man aspect is less precise but he lacks the ability to come up in run support with his size.

Buford was a safety initially. He is great in run support, more physical with a WR but doesn't have the finess to be a CB consistently. He tends to get out of position and thus grabs.

I am not knocking either kid, they are both great kids, but there are skills and or stature they have not developed.

Great report, and well deserved. Really think Buford in the slot goes from being average (as a CB) to being a major asset. He is a pretty decent ball hawk and hard hitter. He is as fast as Hartzog and a good bit bigger.

If Wright starts, who doesn't? Unless he moves to Jack, has to be Gbayor or Bullock, right? Yikes. Both are really solid.

Gbayor isn’t great in coverage. Could be a situational deal, where Wright sees more snaps against spread passing teams.

Bullock has been a sparkplug for this defense. Probably the most solid guy all year. You don't take him out. I like Wright as a situational guy, although he deserves a shot at a bigger role, I don't think we can afford to go away with what's been working all year.
