Poor Cota needs a better and taller QB. He was obviously one of the best atheletes on the field, wide open for a TD pass 1st half....way over thrown. Wide open TD pass 2d half, grossly under thrown. No offense to the SM QB, who is probably 5'10" in cleats, but he just couldn't see the field. Still, a pretty close game. Pritchard and Tawa were there, and I made sure to let PP know his first 5 pts for the Ducks vs UNC were epic, the 2 quick fouls, BS.

to have a man crush on Taggart?

Dude sounds fun to work for:

Here are my thoughts answering questions from the Husker faithful about the Ducks.

BEL: Oregon

#2 Ohio State (-7) vs #5 Oklahoma
#3 Clemson (-5.5) vs #13 Auburn
#6 USC (-6.5) vs #14 Stanford

Who you got?

I got together with Sean Callahan with Husker Online to get the Nebraska perspective on the upcoming game.

BEL: Nebraska

Okay, I know most will use the segment as a method to bash some in the media (though Mike Belotti shares Fentress' feelings on the topic).

I chose to have fun with it by looking at it from a 'Point v. Coutnerpoint' position making a case both for and against the inclusion of the Pick in the top five program moments.

Enjoy!

Nice take from our national hoops staff of Eric Bossi and Corey Evans.

Everyone has a Marcus Story....

Okay, the 'real' games start this week.

I know the tendency is to dismiss Nebraska based on their performance in week one; but they are better than their first game would indicate. Are they going to unseat Michigan or Ohio State n the Big Ten this year? No. But they will be a good team.

Arkansas State is a tough team to prepare for; their tempo was very very good. But to get their 4125 passing yards they needed 68 attempts, a paltry 6.1 yards per attempt. They threw quick screen after quick screen and 'nickel and dimed' Nebraska all day long; they scored a late TD to make teh game close.

Nebraska has a very good returner in JD Spielman, the adopted son of Minnestoa Vikings GM Rick Spielman. He is fast and explosive. There is some talent at Nebraska.

Okay on with the rest of it:

Not trying to throw shade at someone who is no longer here rather, I found a bit of irony in something he said to Tom Rinaldi after beating Florida State and where he is today as a part of the media machine.

Rinaldi - "What did you prove"
Helfrich - "I don't know, that's up to you. You guys are all the geniuses in the media"

Play calling at UO has changed quite a bit over the past decade.

Not many changes this week for Nebraska.
