No, I remember. Deadly accurate. Not that arm strength. Good arm strength, not amazing.
Neyor, Banks, Raiola. Malachi may RS. 9-2 Notes

He said, "People have all day to kinda get themselves ready for the game (buzzed), it should be loud (understatement), it should be a home field advantage (no kidding), let's all be Nebraska nice on Sunday...you know what I'm saying?" OK Matt, I have your permission to not be Nebraska nice on Saturday night.
As Groucho Marx once said, "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member."
Welcome to the club.
Like I said, I'll take a Raiola at QB for the next 6 years. If you look at it, Dillon Gabriel is only 6'0" and 185 and he's as good as there is in college football right now, albeit, he has great wheels, too.
The reason I'm high on Dayton is simply intangibles, pedigree and aspirations. Nothing wrong with bringing in a true freshman in 4 years who already knows the playbook like the back of his hand.
It's not like the young Raiola won't have a relationship with some of the top high school kids in the country just like his older brother.
Anyone else notice how he kept his feet under him and finished the play for a TD?
In years past w our WRs, our WR would have surely gone down there and the play is over....
These guys are def a higher lvl than we have been used to. Kudos to the coaches for spotting and grabbing these guys.
See how Banks high pointed that ball on the TD catch? Seems simple cuz he made it look simple. But we have been lacking that as well from our WRs.
We even saw how badly Lloyd #19 I think earlier in the game mis timed his jump between two defenders and looked bad doing it..had he timed his jump even remotely correct he comes up w the ball easily...
For one series I'd like to see NU line up like this and really air it out:
Neyor Banks LT LG C RG RT Nelson Lloyd JB/RJ/J Bon (only 1 of course)
Raiola
Now, you're talking about having some real weapons on the field. You have speed and size on both sides of the formation.
You could have either Nelson or Jacory/Rahmir/Bonner in motion either direction, as good as our middle OLine is you could run a Utah shovel pass to either Jacory/Rahmir/Bonner up the middle if your WR's can run the DB's off.
Can use any of those 3 guys that would be at WB as an additional blocker, obviously RJ and Bonner the 2 best choices.
**EDITED** Doesn't allow me to show the alignment of Neyor wide left, Banks inside of him, Nelson next to the RT, Lloyd wide right, and the WB slotted. But, I think you know what I mean.
It's like we are on the Nebraska 12 step program.
We often don't know how to respond to a play such as that. Always waiting for the other shoe to drop. First hurdle is believing we have a QB who can make a competent throw. Then having a WR with the ability to not whiff every second attempt. Breaking a tackle for extra yardage, let alone a TD is just so foreign. Now it is like "was that all an anomaly" and "what if that never happens again"?
Neyor looks like he has a 10' wingspan. Any teams that played us last year and this year are going to be like GD, wth did they do to this team.
Guys, been off the boards during the offseason and just got back on..
WTF is Quinn Clark?
Thanks In advance...
We have not had a QB throwing “highpointable” balls like that. Like Aaron Rodgers, DR is making every receiver look better just by giving them a chance. Neyor and Banks looked great with their opportunities, but we’ve had a lot of receivers through here that haven’t had the same level of opportunity. It’s a little bit of both and it’s a sexy combination.
Yep. A QB that can place the ball where it needs to be combined with a conspicuous lack of 5'8" receivers is going to make this offense fun to watch.
True freshman from Montana. Ken Clark's kid. Big bodied WR.
TY sir...Ken Clark one of my fave NU RBs.
I remember way back when Barry Sanders was in his Heisman year, Ken C was having a pretty monster year himself, but really got no pub. He even outgained Barry S in the head to head game between NU and Okie Light.
Ken C was one of my fave NU RBs.
Thanks for the 411....
Edit: these were the days where if u didn't live in NE..(I lived in CA) you only got to watch maybe 2-4 games on TV per year (at most)..and had to listen to the rest on the radio. KLIN? I think?
So scouring the next days sports box scores to see how NU players did vs other teams players was a rite of passage. lol
It's why most of us X Gen folks didn't mind paying 50 bucks for the PPV games when they were available or dropping at least 50 bucks at a local bar that carried the game on brews and food.
FWIW

I've met some chicks who were loose hipped...
I was in the endzone down in College Station for that game. Great time. A&M fans bought us beers while we discussed our hatred for Texass after the game.
Purify is one of my all time favorite husker WR.
In saying that, I'm probably showing I'm younger than a lot of people here.
Your not alone.
He was a WR type Nebraska didn’t trot out too often. The ending to that game was one of the highlights of the 2000s IMO.
I called that right before the TD. Told my buddy here comes the fade to Purify. Throw it up and let him go get it.
Holy moly! Is this the best visitor list we’ve ever had for a game? Stud after stud after stud on the sidelines catching that husker vibe
Couldn't have, on account of her eating an ice cream cone.

Neyor will be my favorite if things go like I think they will. Purify and Rodgers are 2 of mine as well.
