[Husker] Thoughts

[Don Rietsch]

In an earlier post I stated that I thought Paul was playing out of position
and might be the best running back on the team.  I thought he was an average
receiver.  He sure has made a believer out of me with his play of late.  I
read a quote by him in Huskers Illustrated early in the season where he
stated that when he came to NU he thought he was hot _hit and that he was
uncoachable his first few years.  He said he realizes he made a mistake and
was going to make this a banner year.  He's playing great.  If I were a NFL
scout, (I'm not one but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night) I'd
draft him and make him a third down back.  He's built like a Linebacker, has
great speed and runs with power.  He's a can't miss pick IMO.  It's a shame
he didn't mature two years ago.  He may have been our next All American. 

Speaking of receivers, how about the one handed catch in the left flat by
the young receiver.  His name escapes me right now but if he can make
catches like that we may be pretty solid at receiver next year.  I thought I
was watching a replay of a Randy Moss reception.

I thought Lee played well too.  I think he was thinking too much, and too
afraid to make a mistake.  The called running plays just don't cut it for
him but when his receivers are covered and he sees an opening he can run
pretty well.  I don't like the way he hesitates right before getting hit
though.  I think the coaches have drilled in him not take a big hit.  If he
gets hurt we are in trouble.

Paul had a monster game.

Someone wearing McNeill's number caught four passes.

Lee had some nice runs today, but I cringe every time he keeps the ball. 
(And thank goodness Roy got to that fumble.)

Once again, Bo was rather heatedly chewing on Barney Cotton after 
Williams' bonehead tripping penalty. I wonder what the dynamic is 
between those two.

Asante needs to learn to play smarter. Sometimes it looks like he tries 
to make a big hit just to make a big hit.

KU's much maligned O-line played a good game.

We finally have Reesing and Meier right where we want them - out of 
eligibility.

At 6-5, ISU is, I believe, bowl eligible. That fella Rhoads might be a 
pretty good coach.

CU on the other hand, cannot get to a bowl now. That means November 27 
is their bowl game. Our guys had best be ready.

I wonder when the deep pockets in Boulder will start assembling the cash 
to buy out Dan Hawkins' contract. Oh, wait. Someone would have to care. 
My bad.
