[Husker] What would it take to get you excited about the Huskers?

Wow ... you gys are really getting me down! :)

Dailey had problems with the complex terminology and getting plays
called correctly in the huddle. From accounts, Taylor has it down. I
think you'll see wigwag to get plays in, not sideline visits.

I think we'll have corners that can play more aggressively this
season, so we won't need to play "off" to prevent the long play.

You can't adjust to something the player's can't handle. I think,
offensively, our problems basically stemmed from JD's inability to
take advantage of open receivers, whether by missing them on 2nd and
3rd reads, or just not getting the ball to them accurately. I think
the playcalling was sound but the execution was lacking.

See above. We had lots of opportunities we couldn't capitalize on.

> 5.  Will the fullback get any rushing attempts this year?

Do you really think that correlates to wins?
