UENTH'S OFFICIAL BHF GAMEDAY DAY THREAD: UNI PANTHERS EDITION

[Nebraska99]

WAKE UP PEOPLE...IT'S GAME DAY!

Not much to really watch before our late game. No big marquis match-ups. A couple of 1100 games might be watchable, Bama at Wisky and BC and Mizzou.

I really want us to be up big by the middle of the third so we can see the depth players get a shot. Coach Rhule is pretty good about getting guys in the game. Especially want the QB backups to get some playing time.

GO BIG RED!

Some interesting games in the B1G today. Keep an eye on those games on the West Coast between those instate rivals. Wisconsin should be readying for a butt-whooping by Bama, and Purdue suffering indignities from Notre Dame.

Great to see you again, 1949Tackle! Wish it had been under better circumstances, but we appreciate your contribution to our Mrjfb thread.

Hope you'll stick around.

Kansas must be taking a step back this year. Just got beat by UNLV

Sounds like their QB is a turnover machine plus their OC Andy Kotelnicki went to PSU on the plus side, any of the fans wringing their hands over Illinois beating mighty Kansas can rethink that.

Who are you looking for to make a statement today??

One I have is Dante Dowdell, this is a fantastic opportunity for him to go over 100 yds rushing.

Yikes, that's gotta suck!!! Don't you feel sorry for them?

Every time I see Dowdell running over some poor defender, I can't help but think of Devaney's RB coach, Mike Corgan. He'd have LOVED Dante's full steam ahead, freight train style!!!

GBR!!

I agree with 1949, this should be a big day for NU rushing attach. I would expect them to run for over 300 today. I would also expect a few long passes of play action if their running is successful.

Given all that Illinois lost off of last year's team that we beat at their house, I am not as afraid of them as are some.
Illinois lost their 2nd round NFL DT and the multi year DT beside him, Isaiah Williams their 1st team All-B1G WR, their 6th round NFL WR, and two tackles. They have a returning QB who is probably upper half of the B1G, a Sophomore WR that I have a lot of respect for, a RB that is a load to tackle, and the entire backend of their defense. I think we run on them pretty successfully and take away their running game and make their passing game very poor.

I don't know about anyone else but it's gonna take me quite a while to get used to the left coast teams being in the B1G. I'm one to root for other conference teams when they are playing but not necessarily a fan of Oregon and the L.A. teams. I have nothing against UW though.

I've been up since 4 AM; just waiting for Chris to post his picture. Where the heck is he anyway?

Thanks for stepping up to the task N99!!!

I look at it like this. The Husker O needs to redemption themselves after the second half last week. My guess is Raiola will be rolling as smooth as the other side of the pillow tomorrow.

I agree, but there won't be much, if any, redemption even if the Husker OL rolls over and flattens the Northern Iowa defense because that's pretty much what they're supposed to do. I mean, if recruiting rankings mean anything, we should absolutely destroy UNI.

Redemption comes if they play well and we're running the ball against our conference foes. Not saying Nebraska needs 300+ yards rushing every game, but one back (looking at you Mr. Dowdell) getting 100+ yards with the other 2 or 3 getting about 50 yards each would be nice.

Specifically, I'm curious about how the Nebraska OL will play against Illinois because they have, from what I have seen, a solid defense and they play a very physical style like The Blackshirts do.

Good lord, woman!!!!

VERY CLASSY comments about Dylan Raiola from his 'Big 'cuz'

 

[Uenth]

Good lord, woman!!!!

Yeah, I know. About 4 or 5 years ago, my internal clock got all screwed up. I just wake up between 3:30 and 4:30 every freakin' day. So tonight, much like last week, I'll be nodding out around the end of the 3rd/start of the 4th quarters.

I don't foresee it changing now.

 

[Doc Fumble]

I can't put my finger on it, but for some strange reason, I'm much more pumped about college football in general this year than I have been in ages. Is it just me?

Yup, just you. No one else is paying any attention or haven't you noticed? J/K
