Iowa OT Alaric Jackson on facing Nebraska's D

[Space City Husker]

Welp. Iowa is telling the Nebraska D-line they are going to shove the ball down their throat. He's probably right. Hopefully the defensive can use this as some sort of motivation.

Sounds right. They know who they are. I don’t see anything wrong with that. They struggled last year against us a bit though.

I'd rather Nebraska's OL use this as motivation to understand where they should be, and you can include Wisconsin in that conversation as well.

Is Iowa’s o line supposed to be better this year? I know they lost Wirfs in the draft.

Their duo of backs look good,

Me too brother, me too. Maybe we can line-up in the I-Formation this week.

I would think just putting on Nebraska jersey or putting on the helmet with the big red N on it would be all the motivation one would need.Jmo.Keep the faith.GBR.

As long as we run a 3-4 with our LB play, almost everyone will have success "shoving the ball down our throat" to some degree.....Have I mentioned lately how I hate the 3-4?

A win Friday would help in so many ways. Gbr

It’s been a lot of fun living in Iowa since Pelini got canned.

Exactly!!

If ya'll remember, we almost had Alaric. We took Farniok, then Alaric went to Iowa.

Makes we wish our offense was built around a power running game.

 

[coherbie]

seems like a true statement for almost any opponent - winning up front usually leads to a good result.

If my memory serves correct we used to tell people all the time in the 90s what we were going to do and much more blatantly and in your face than this.... And literally before the play, not just a generalization of “we’re going to run.”

Iowa knows who they are and I don’t take this as trash talk.. Just matter of fact.
Sadly, I don’t have confidence in us......
And that sucks.
A lot.

It's simple. It's what we used to do. We lined up against our opponents, looked them in the eye, and basically said we're going to run it. Try and stop us.
