First of i back any coach that takes the helm. Yes i backed Solich, Callahan, Bo and now Riley. Im a Husker fan threw and threw. Like anyone id love to be the Huskers of the 70s threw the 2000s. But we are not, along the line we lost out on top tier recuits and the closest we came to that was with Callahan, i know a lot of you guys puke at the sound of his name but lets be real, the dude could recruit with the best of them, now only if he could coach or at least got a good defensive Co to handle that mess we had in defense. Hopefully Riley can pull in tye recruits like Callahan and Osborne could. If so ue may bring us back to the top 10 again.
Now my opinion on what i have seen so far with our Huskers. Tommy is looking like a great Big 10 QB. When his threws our on, the man is as dangerous as any QB in the country, but thats the deal, when hes on. When hes off, oh boy he can really look like a junior high QB, a back up at that with his accuracy.
Our RBs have shown promise, Newby looked great last night, kinda reminds me of M Lucky. Great hands, decent speed, isnt going to make many people miss and wont break many tackles, with good blocking he can tear it up but his down fall, he wont create yardage one his own. Wilborn, wow shoot me if you must, he reminds me of A Abdullah. Need i explain more? In the next year or so we WILL have our elite RB again like we had in Helu, Burkhead and Abdullah.
Our WRs our good, man i wish we had Person-El to go with the group but we dont and there holding there own, great group. Westercamp looks great, Moore looks to finally be that 4 start we got out of high school and the other guys have been solid.
So far our o-lne and TE have been up and down, against BYU there looked ok, rough at first then got better. Against USA, they did what they should have, controlles the line all game. So we will have to see how it looks the next few games. Hopefully Carter being back will lift our TE play.
As for defense, im going to talk about the group in whole. Our DEs need help, there not getting the preasure we need which leadss to double teams on Collins and Valentine. Our LBs with Rose look good, possibly very good, the safety play has been decent, Gerry looks good, the other just ok, i think A Williams just needs to take it over full time and get him ready for the future. Our CBs have covered pretty well but are not finishing. Rose, Davie and Kalu dont look bad, they nees to learn to finish and then we will be good to go.
So far im pleased, we look pretty good for a team with a first year coach and new schemes. Lets see how the rest of the season plays out. And come on guys, jump on board, these are our huskera and these are our coaches. Lets back them up.
