[Husker] Hello Mike...is the listserv operational?

Wed Aug 15 09:35:59 CDT 2012

O-Line is a major concern.  In the last scrimmage the D was blowing through like crazy and the QB's were running for cover.  Very little yardage was gained on the ground.  The few shining spots were the passing plays.  By the end of the scrimmage the O-Line was looking a little better.

Oh, wait....this is my son's Jr Midget team, not the Huskers :)

I guess one thing does make it Husker related.  His coach is Aaron Graham.  Fantastic football educator.  My son loves him.

I'm not worried about Taylor Martinez; he was very solid as a quarterback after the Wisconsin game.  

My concerns are:  offensive line, defensive line, and secondary.

The BTN guys blew a lot of sunshine at the d-line and secondary.  I'm optimistic that the coaching changes are going to be upgrades at those positions.  We'll see how that pans out.

Offensive line?  Well, we'll see.  I'm not going to pass judgement until we actually see the team hit the field.

As for the schedule:  there's nobody that Nebraska cannot beat on the schedule.  So my best case scenario is way high.  I don't think that's likely, so I'm going with a 10-2 record and headed to Indianapolis.

Downside?  Considering that there are really only 2-3 games that should be gimmees, anything is possible.

Since you mentioned predictions (sort of), I'll make mine.

Huskers should do well this year, assuming TM performs to expectations. DB's could be a concern.

That all said, I'm thinking the Huskers go 10-2 this year.

If TM doesn't perform, however, the Huskers could end up 6-6, with losses to Southern Miss, Wisconsin, Ohio St, Michigan, Michigan St, and either NW or Iowa.

I think he does perform, though, and I'm sticking with the 10-2.  Losses to Wisconsin and Michigan.
