Mo Berry stood out to me during #Huskers scrimmage today. Seems to always be around the ball. Good young player.

Even with Lee and Jones out the pass defense scheme looked better. More guys dropping into space and making plays on the ball. #Huskers
@jakebockoven@swmckewonOWH
DPE made his best play of camp, a leaping two-handed grab for a TD. #huskers
2:43 PM - 20 Aug 2016
@jakebockoven
Riley said they are talking about potentially not red shirting Grimm and Spielman. #Huskers
2:17 PM - 20 Aug 2016
Jake Bockoven @jakebockovenJake Bockoven @jakebockoven
Riley mentioned Jackson, Butler, and Domann as guys likely to play right away. Bootle and Dismuke are close but may redshirt. #Huskers
2:15 PM - 20 Aug 2016
Jake Bockoven @jakebockoven
Riley said overall defensively he thinks they are better. Noted LB depth and the possibility of getting some young guys playing #Huskers
Jake Bockoven @jakebockoven
Riley said Boe Wilson is talented and physical enough to be playing. Inexperienced but talented. #Huskers

Saturday nuggets: Freshman Boe Wilson was the No. 1 LG during the #Huskers big scrimmage… http://rvls.co/2bCo
Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC
Matt Farniok is another true frosh OL who coaches are still considering, though it's clear Riley would prefer to redshirt him if they can.
3:03 PM - 20 Aug 2016
Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC Riley named Lamar Jackson, Tony Butler & JoJo Domann as true frosh he thinks will be all over special teams. All LBs will probably redshirt.
Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC
Boe Wilson playing-right-away situation is real. Working with the 1s at LG. Also, Barnett sprained an ankle. Not serious, but a brief scare.
Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC
Luke Gifford is having a good camp. Stacked position, but Bray said he's seen some reps with the 1s. Just wants a little more consistency.
Samuel McKewon @swmckewonOWH
Nebraska's D is ahead of where it was last season. Yes, even with the young DL. It's ahead. Perhaps well ahead at LBs and DBs.

Mick StoletnBerg is going to be tough for anyone to block. he handles guys easily with leverage and he has quickness and he's really strong
Mike'l Severe @MikelSevere
Some other guys who had nice days Wilbon, The top 2 RB's were limited. But he ran well. Newby makes so many violent tackles. Mo Berry too.
Can you make some comments on TA? I saw a blurb elsewhere; he quickly threw two interceptions. Puke, ugh; very hard to see POB redshirting; if Fyfe isn't up to a very high level.Mike'l Severe @MikelSevere

I sure hope what we are hearing is not all hat no cattle. This staff knows how to present things I just hope it translates to winsBrian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC
If looking for optimism on D-line: Stoltenberg has looked good next to Maurice. Felt Natter & Alex Davis made some things happen as backups.

In 2-minute drill, Armstrong struggled. Threw two picks. Riley called the drill sloppy.

Greg Smith @GregSmithSports
We are real close to saying DPE is "back". Best we have seen him look all fall. #Huskers
Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC
Logan Rath waited til this morning to tell his parents he was a scholarship Husker. He wanted to tell them in person http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/football/three-in-state-huskers-realize-scholarship-goal/article_372af34a-80cd-5a8a-8426-2f6bba323fe9.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=user-share …

I agree, but the news today isn't so much from the coaches as it is the media, correct? The media are telling us some pretty good things (mostly), not the coaches sugar coating anything.I sure hope what we are hearing is not all hat no cattle. This staff knows how to present things I just hope it translates to wins
True I just fight the urge to buy all the hype as we have heard it so many times before. If we get through Oregon undefeated I will officially get excited at that pointI agree, but the news today isn't so much from the coaches as it is the media, correct? The media are telling us some pretty good things (mostly), not the coaches sugar coating anything.
I just hope it continues to be good news that translates on the field, like you said.
Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC
Tyler Moore (2011) is the only Husker true frosh OL to start an opener. We'll see what happens with Boe Wilson. But it's unusual territory.
One has to remember that he's playing against a defense that knows all of our plays etc. I'll worry IF he does it in a game.Samuel McKewon @swmckewonOWH

I think maybe he did, but I doubt it was the opener...didnt Will Shields start as a frosh?
Not aware if he did. OPENER is the operative word here.didnt Will Shields start as a frosh?
