No longer a Rumor - Bad news for the OL

Incorrect. He told me hours before anyone else. Did he get drunk and bone your fat gf or something?

He does not care about Husker football. His posting here proved that for many years.

Thoughts and prayers go out to Teddy hopefully he comes back stronger than ever.

Can I donate my acl?

The game has changed, but NU had some decent success with blocking fullbacks for a few decades.

We need another Tom Rathman. Other than his issue with a fumble or two, he was a devastating blocker, and could take it to the house. That type athlete is out there somewhere.

Or Cory schlessinger or the boys from east butler

Probably time for Teddy to consider retirement.

Gottula has been here quite a while and has trouble cracking the 2 deep.

The kid is a RS freshman. In the context of a college FB career, 1 year doesn't qualify as quite awhile.

Scott has played tackle and Evans is the heir apparent at Center. Uncle Donnie will have to make a decision as to whether Corcoran can cut it on the outside. This possible switch doesn't serve Scott's career goals, but you gotta play your best five.

The only thing JameGONE broke were the rules of this board, which is why he is GONE BABY GONE FOREVER!

He’s a top 5 poster. This board is less close without him.

Great post, agree 100%

Excellent nickname, too

3 springs but I agree. I was mistaken and Damon Benning says he’s transformed his body over the summer. It just seemed to me like he should be a redshirt junior. He didn’t impress me last year but the talking heads seem to think he can play. I’m usually the last guy on here to dog a young player.

he played exactly zero snaps on offense last year

did you attend enough practices in order to not be impressed by a true frosh OL last season? was his work on the FG and PAT teams in Nov really that subpar?

if not, this seems like a good time to say "I was wrong" or "I have no clue" and cut your losses

Spring ball.

When the Oline was not a busted unit, a kid entering his RS Sophomore year would get some run in games (maybe a series when the game was still close) if they looked to be a trajectory to start. NU is trying to move from playing true and RS freshman. It's not very conducive to their long term development unless they are very gifted. Evans looks to start as a RS sophomore and is actually looking like the best Oline guy NU has recruited recently. We compete for B1G titles when a kid like Evans is not starting, but is part of a rotation that enters the game in the second half, and then starts his last two years.
