I would like to see an actual running back running a jet sweep!! Like Gordon at Wisconsin
Those screens were always an adventure, and for all of AM's strengths, touch on the ball was not one of them - which IMO translated to something they were or were not doing in practice.Been watching and rewatching the practice videos. One of the issues I have had in the past Scott frost offenses was with the screen pass. The WR /RB sent out to catch the screen almost never caught it in stride. Passes were either behind the reciever or thrown high. Screen pass more than any pass must be thrown to the right spot.
Now I know that we have not seen CT throw much live action. However, watch the practice videos and you see him throwing and hitting them with the reciever in stride. Fractions of seconds make the difference on screen passes. Me likey what i see so far.
Agreed on allThose screens were always an adventure, and for all of AM's strengths, touch on the ball was not on of them - which IMO translated to something they were or were not doing in practice.
Like you, I'm cautiously optimistic.
fwiw...the line has moved up to Neb -12.5 on my wagering site.
Expectations may be too high( and I am guilty) for the first game of the season. Last year’s win isn’t relevant it’s a new year a new team with an almost entirely new offensive coaching staff. Northwestern is extremely well coached and they’ll be well prepared ( they don’t beat themselves) getting out of Ireland with a win is all fans can ask for in game one against a Big Ten opponent.It's been 12.5 for the last 3-4 months

Sitting down with Nebraska players Jimari Butler, Jaeden Gould, Ernest Hausmann and Randolph Kpai
AgreeNW espically so with their beat writers is really getting panned in the preseason reviews
One guy has them going 3-9 which includes 0-9 in the B1G
Best prediction I have seen is 6-6
First game blues most teams go through.without a doubt but the consensus is this will not be a good NW team
With that being said you can not overlook anyone
Still doesn’t ease my jitters ..Illinois was being tabbed as terrible and breaking in a new coach before they beat the Huskers in last season’s opener. I won’t relax until they’ve scored one more point than Northwestern in two weeks.NW espically so with their beat writers is really getting panned in the preseason reviews
