Hope This Gets the Polar Bear, Tommi Hill, Coach Rhule, and all Huskers Fired Up.......

No love for the Huskers on pre-season All-Big Ten from the know-it-alls. Zero Nebraska players not even on "Honorable Mentioned."

According to these experts, the conference is so top-heavy. Nebraska, Wisconsin, USC, and UCLA, don't really exist. Don't blame the voters as their teams have been down for years.

Players on good teams always have an edge for individual honors. We have been consistently awful for a decade. But if this somehow fires up some players, that would be swell.

 

[cruelhalo]

Teams with a 5-7 record aint gonna get a whole lotta pub cred.

Respect is earned not given. Gentlemen go earn it

Respect is earned not given. Gentlemen go earn it

And that should be the message every day in practice. Sure hope the coaches thought of this.

More like good players make better teams.

Yes, But when’s the last time the Heisman Trophy winner came from a crappy team?

I can remember back in about 1982 or 1983, the coaches in the Big Eight voted for who they thought was the BEST player in the league and NU had 6 different players named. Seems like they named Gill, Rozier, Fryar, Steinkuhler, Rimington and another players as the best player in the entire league.

Those were the days...........

Meh. I've seen plenty of fired up Huskers the last couple years. What I haven't seen is a QB that doesn't wilt at the first sign of pressure repeatedly. Someone show this article to Raiola and scream in his face "YOU BETTER NOT THROW RED ZONE INTERCEPTIONS!" Let's see if we can get motivated to not have a terrible QB this year.

While I agree, in retrospect I may have been too critical of AM and happy feet. If DR gets chased like an Iowa sister by her brother he may be throwing INTs all season.

Yea, AM had almost zero help. Hopefully DR has some and OL is improved.

Stanley Morgan is much, much better than anyone DR will be throwing the ball to

OL is a major concern, same as the AM days

We don’t have a 15+ carry per game back like AM did (Ozigbo, Mills), either

And i have no clue what kind of playcaller we have

 

[bob5150]

Should we keep receipts?

Don’t know but do know Elway was Heisman runner-up and none of his teams even made a bowl.

True!

Might have to go with Navy with Roger Staubuch. 1965, his Heisman year, Navy was 4-4-2.

 

[Cornicator]

Kenneth Grant for Michigan might be the first Defensive Tackle taken in the draft, and he's not even on that Preseason All Big Ten team. Nobody should worry about it.

With the excception of the 3 service academies and U of Iowa, NU had the 5th worse passing attack in Power 5. We were lousy on offense last year as we all witnessed, not just the subpar passing but the multitude of turnovers.

NU had QB's last year that were "difference makers", but not in the traditional sense. (yuck)

QB's don't have to win the game, they just shouldn't be the cause of the loss(es).
