Jaimes and Cam both practiced. Jaimes in pads. Cam in a no contact green jersey. Great news.
Injury update..
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
OMG thank you Jesus!!! And thank you, HBK, for the good news!
I wonder if Cam sits out for Illinois and is ready for Ohio St. The concern there though is he's still learning Safety. He's talented enough to do well but he seems to be trying to figure things out as he goes as opposed to just being able to play fast.
Either way it's a good sign that he's practicing!

Save Cam for Ohio St.
We need all the athleticism we can get on the field that game.

If they are held out all or part of the illinois game I would not play them against OSU
they would need to be 100% for me to play them in the OSU game - I don't think their presence or absence is going to matter
they need to be as healthy as possible for the NW game the following week

There is no "saving" anyone for Ohio State. Illinois is the more winnable game, but I haven't seen enough from this team to think any game is a gimme. They are a borderline bowl-eligible team. Every game needs to have urgency.
True but if you aren't at least 90% healed up, I wouldn't risk further injury with Ohio State the following week.
This is a no brainer folks. If they are healthy enough to play and are cleared by medical staff to play, then they should play. If they aren’t healthy enough to play then they shouldn’t.
But what if they are “marginally” healthy enough to play? Only lousy coaches who don’t give a shit about their players think that way. If a guy is only marginally ready to play, then he isn’t really ready to play, owing to the threat of re-injury.

Stop with the save them for the Ohio State game. Nebraska doesn't have an easy win until they prove otherwise.
Really not about the opponent it's about the injury. You either can play out there or you can't.
Are we really acting like one-armed Cam Taylor gives us a much better chance to win against OSU than a healthy Eric Lee?

I trust Eric Lee being out there. He actually wraps up and gets guys to the ground.
You hit the nail on the head. It'd be awesome if he can play against Illinois but if he's not around 100% then sit him and let him get a little more time to recover.
Remember it was C that gave up the big play against Colorado when he bit on the play action and let the receiver get behind him. Game breaker
On the trick play yes. It was Lee on the blown coverage on the other long TD pass.
Naw, we need to beat Illinois. The idea that we are head and shoulders better than Illinois is a joke. Especially on the road. These types of games are the biggest for Frost because he needs to make a bowl game. Beating Ohio State is a long shot no matter who is healthy but Cam can make a big difference against Illinois. Maybe once we have a couple 9 win seasons and a couple bowl games we can start to "save" our best players for big games.
Jaimes is the key. We can at least maintain our best OL and build off that. Improve improve improve. GBR
I actually think we are much better than Illinois.
The key will be the OL because Lovie will try and exploit that advantage.
If we hold up there will be many, many opportunities for big plays and we can scheme their "sell-out" into our perceived weakness.
I really like Nebraska's chances to win big this weekend. Call me crazy.
He was filling in for Lamar because he was dealing with cramps. Colorado just got lucky they called the right play
You mean like last week?
nope ..if they are 100% they should play, if not, or there is a question, I would error on the side of maximizing their health for NW
as the NW game is the more important game, besides no one will remember OSU when we are in the B1G championship game

Is anyone 100% during the season?
Guys play through injuries all the time, and many say they are good to go, when maybe they really aren't.
That said, I would rather hold a guy out for a game than risk further injury resulting in something season ending.
It depends on the injury and associated risk.

So do I bro. Illinois doesn’t have the talent we have. Our Huskers are a very young team and errors could cause us to lose, sure. But if we play a clean game, keep the penalties and turnovers down. Illinois won’t even come close to beating us. Huskers should by 14 or more. But if we make youthful errors, Illinois could keep it close and being a home game for them...anything could happen.
Yes! And what happened with Jorgensen? Did he get injured as well or the staff doesn't feel very confident with him just yet?
wow really. how do you get 2 kickers injured. I also thought he didn't look great when he was kicking.
Colorado didn't have the talent we have outside of maybe Nixon and Shenault and we all knew how that went down. NU needs to be ready to play period. Games like these are tough. The stadium is going to be dead with energy lacking, so we are going to need to have some big plays early to continue to keep our heads in it.
This is true. Hell, Air Force took care of Colorado. Totally unexcusable loss for us so we have to make sure that we don't lose any more of these type of games against lesser talented opponents.
These kids ride on emotion. You can almost see when a team is about to be in an unexpected dog fight. Like whomever wins out of this UM v Wisc game, I bet next week they'll be on upset alert.
Colorado just had an emotional comeback win, and couldn't provide the same spark the next week.
This UM v Wisc game are two teams very hungry to prove themselves. I am so very happy this is how we kick off Saturday
