Hard to know what you're looking at in games like these. A guy makes a play, but was he a #1 going against a #3? The announcers are talking about everything BUT the game so you barely can catch the name/number of the guy making the play much less who he was going up against.
Obviously guys flash all over the place but what does it mean?
SIms looked pretty good. Purdy looked healthy for the first time in a long time, he didn't look bad. But it is a Sims/Thompson battle in the fall. Don't care who wins, because neither guy is likely to stay completely healthy all season anyway. We'll need them both. Haarberg looked about like I expected--some talent but also some moments where he just doesn't seem to grasp everything. I thought Torres looked like a guy who doesn't fit--nothing personal.
Ervin looked good. Ajay Allen looked rusty. I thought Johnson looked good. I thought Grant looked like the fourth best back out there. Seriously, who many yards can you give up . . . in search of the home run? TAKE the DANG yards aleady! Until he does that, he's behind the others--even though talent wise he is right there.
The TEs didn't show much outside of Boerkircher--who looked good. Gilbert's hands ruined his day. Fidone with only one catch.
Washington with a heck of a grab on the low pass play. Kemp flashed. I was impressed with Fleeks a few times. Couldn't tell much else. Not much to see.
The OL looked okay. Some nice running holes. Some good pass protection. But who knows?
The defense looked ahead of the offense by far. I thought Kai Wallin flashed several times today. Jeudy flashed. Sherman flashed. But mostly, it seemed like front to back, the defenses were playing together and doing their jobs.
Too many fumbles and bad snaps--not unexpected in a game like this. I think I saw three injuries (Jeudy, Corcoran, and Hood). I think Hood returned. Corcoran . . . has he ever been healthy?
Good day to be a Husker. Much work remains to be done.
