Was able to watch the Spring game on tape as I couldn’t get it live on Saturday. Just a few pluses and minuses I have about the game.
First it seems to be that although this is a VERY young team especially on offense their seems to be a good deal of depth on both sides of the ball. The running back position is again young but really seems deep.
AM looks quicker running the ball and more decisive throwing it and there doesn’t seem to be a shortage of receivers( again young) but talented. I thought there’d be more balls to the TE than there were.
Defensively the depth in the secondary and the linebacker position is better than I have seen in a long time. Both defensive units showed a lot of speed.
My only downer of the day was red zone play calling and the continued use of the sideline pass especially on first down. Not sure I have ever seen that play really work. It’s obvious that this is a more talented team than any of the first three Frost has brought to Nebraska. I continue to have faith in his ability as a coach and am hoping this team gets off to a GREAT start against Illinois.
