[Red Reign]

Huskers will depart for Minnesota tomorrow. I would assume they will do a walk through sometime during the day

It was changed to prevent collisions / prevent concussions.

if you're an accountant, just look at data. My guess is Rhule knows the data better than you or I. But football involves momentum and emotions. I'll go with the successful head football coach and his risk calculations. plus, I pretty much agree with him.

Yes but all that did was make coaches change tactics that make it more likely to be returned.

An honest evaluation of your ability to be successful on kick returns is paramount. I trust that is what is occurring here. Not just bravado.

I agree. Only 5 of the 135 FBS programs last year averaged more than 25 yards per return.

I agree. Only 5 of the 135 FBS programs last year averaged more than 25 yards per return.

Also gotta factor in where the return starts. A 25 yard return from the 10 yada yada

not if you were Nebraska...

Yes. And that goes to some of the comments regarding being strategic

IMO, Rodents are not very good. Lost 9th-Year QB and star Mohamed Ibrahim.

I love how Rhule keeps pushing accountability. Everything earned. Have to put it on the field, but by all appearances he is doing what he said he would be doing from the beginning. That consistency is important to see out of Leaders.

Another nice thing I have noticed is that he can be direct, communicate without any confusion, and hold people accountable without being an arse. Respectful. That takes conviction. He isn't TO, but he certainly has the respect down.

If I had a kid looking to play college ball or learn to be a coach, I would point them to look at Coach Rhule if he gets the Xs and Os and recruiting to an elite level.

They'll likely have an OL that will be tough to get through. Couple of new pieces but I expect a tough matchup there.

Kaliakmanis is a better QB than Morgan ever was. The bigger loss is Ibrahim. That guy was a stud RB.
