Monday notebook: Despite rough game, NU has full faith in Lee
***Offensive coordinator Danny Langsdorf said that while Nebraska did score 35 points with 361 total yards against Oregon, the Huskers didn’t really play well on offense. He said the third down percentage was awful, and there were way too many hits on the quarterback.
Had it not been for some explosive plays, there really wasn’t much consistent production from the offense at all.
***Langsdorf said Tanner Lee missed some throws he normally doesn’t against Oregon, and part of that was him feeling “pressed” by trying too hard to rally Nebraska back from a big deficit.
***Both Langsdorf and offensive line coach Mike Cavanaugh were clearly not pleased with NU’s pass protection. Those issues also go for the running backs and tight ends, and Langsdorf said Lee needed to get the ball out a little quicker at times too.
***Asked if he was worried about Lee’s confidence after that game, Langsdorf quickly replied: “No.” Langsdorf said Lee came back with a really good practice on Monday.
***Though Tre Bryant’s status is in the air for the Northern Illinois game due to his knee injury, running backs coach Reggie Davis said he fully expects Bryant to play on Saturday.
***Langsdorf said freshman Jaylin Bradley has “some real talent” and has continued to get better by the practice. “I’m excited for him,” Langsdorf said. “I think he’s going to have a bright future.”
***Davis said one thing that has made Bryant so good has been his patience in waiting for running lanes and holes to develop. He said there a lot of running backs who don’t have that skill, and Cavanaugh said the offensive line loves blocking for Bryant because of that.
***Langsdorf compared Northern Illinois’ defense to what Nebraska saw against Arkansas State. They’re mainly a 4-3 scheme but feature a fast and aggressive front seven that throws a lot of different pressures at teams.
***Langsdorf said he thought Monday’s practice was really good and that the players came back with great energy.
