Super Official Nebraska vs Maryland Game Week Thread

Edge rushers play to contain first and collapse the pocket.

That's implied in my idea of the defensive gameplan I outlined. Use the DL to collapse and squeeze the pocket but have a spy just in case their QB escapes. 4 DL, 1 Spy, that leaves 6 for coverage and 7 for run defense.
 
Bar position is boxing in with 4 with a spy, yes. We do that. Slow DEs is the problem.

25.8% chance to make the CFP?

Good news is, that is I think a 25.7% increase in our chances prior to the season starting.

Bad news is, to even have a chance to make the CFP, we'd have to get to 10 or 11 wins and I think that is just a bridge too far. But as I always say, that's why the games are played and not simulated.

Weather: Saturday is looking to be perfect football weather with sunny skies and temps in the low 70’s throughout. Winds should be around 5-10mph out of the southwest.

speaking of simulations- aren't you doing that this year?
 
With this team, everything is in front of them. They need to focus week to week. Injuries piled up last week. A little interesting: no one is talking about our guys being hurt, just how many MSU had.

Game by game, week by week, day by day. Win the day, and the rest will sort itself out.

Last week's TV sideline reporter had in butt planted on the MSU sideline the entire game. You'd THINK someone would've asked her to check on why Jamal Rule hadn't come back into the game since early first quarter.

It was a horrible broadcast all the way around. It reminded me of our NCG against Florida. All the announcers could talk about was Steve Spurrier this and Steve Spurrier that--and let's not forget to show him on the sideline every chance they got. Same thing last Saturday with Fitz. I swear they featured him on camera between every other play.
