Hey Talli. Your Huskers lost another recruit to Kansas (that’s two this week) and one to A&M. "Bo don't know recruiting"! He is losing as many recruiting battles as he will games in 2008. How does Nebraska going 5-7 sound? Then they lose their QB & RB with no one in the wings. Make it 4-8 for the Huskers in 2009.

Restore the order! Ha ha...

I have a feeling Polk is going to shed that "other guy" label very quickly. This guy can flat play, and he is, in all likelihood, going to be one of the top 2 backs on the roster by the end of camp.

You can never have enough team speed, and if Scott and Polk can share carries, defenses will have a hell of a time keeping up when we've got an awesome one-two punch coming at them all game long at altitude. There have been some great running backs that have played in a 2-back system in addition to the ones mentioned above: Clemson's Spiller & Davis, WVU's Slaton & Devine, Auburn's Ronnie Brown & Cadillac Williams...

We are already talking about a 1-2 punch with Scott and Polk?

Let us not forget that Demetrius Sumler was only a redshirt frosh last year and had a real nose for the endzone. Sumler may not run a 4.4 but he is hard-nosed and durable. He did break all of Reggie Bush's high school records too.

Love this quote from the Texas newspaper reporting on the Josh Williams robbery case: "This is a real good kid that got into a situation,” Boling said. “I’ve spent three or four weeks with him and his mother, and they’re fine people." Love the "this is a good kid that GOT INTO A SITUATION." Yeah, a "situation" where he decided to hit and rob a guy of $900! That's not getting "into a situation," that's being a violent criminal using force to steal. This guy quoted makes it sound like Williams was cajoled or pressured into something he didn't want to do. What a load of crap! I guess after spending a few weeks crime free with Williams was enough to convince this savvy individual that Williams is a good kid. I hope he's right and that Williams has learned and will be a straight shooter from now on. But please, spare me the rationalizations....

Real Tall

If Hudgins or another guy can put a consistant serious rush on the QB, we have the backers to do a 3-4.

Inspite of your opinion of Hawkins, I doubt if he will be as blockheaded as Cosgrove and never change a thing inspite of giving up 45 plus every game.

When you are defending the spread, you want to give them as many looks as you can and disguise the real coverage because they often change their routes after they line up for the snap.

Dear no point I regret to inform you that there are no proven colligate offensive playmakers on the current roster. Can you name any? So before you go out on a wing and name how quick an Offensive lineman’s belly giggles or how quick the punter gets the punt off, and embarrass yourself anymore. I would like to make an argument on your behalf. The buffs will be good for other reasons like solid Defense and clock management and simply out lasting there opponent. So with all due respect Mr. no point shut up.

RTbunchofnumbers,

You might have a point as of July 9th. But CU's lack of "proven colligate" (whatever that is) playmakers on offense will cease to matter approximately 60 minutes into the 2008 season.

My sense is that by the time the final seconds tick away at Invesco Field on Aug. 30, future opponents - especially those with the pleasure of playing at altitude - will be wondering what to do to stop the herd of no-name, young Buffaloes running up and down the field.

rs is fairly easy to figure out. Obviously he started a fight with a football player, got his can whipped and wont blame himself.

Tall's vendetta is a little harder to figure. I doubt if even Barnett would be childish or churlish enough to blame the next coach. Of course Barnett does have enough time on his hands to be Tall.

I also doubt if it is a player Hawk dismissed. Playrs are young, flexible and ususally get over it and move on. Of course it could be a player who couldnt move on....to another team or school and has a lot of time on his hands.

I think I have it boiled down to 2 possibilities. It is either Barnett's wife or the janitor that missed emptying Hawks trash can 3 times in a row and got his ash canned.

According to the Dallas News Big 12 predictions, if Bo goes 5-7 with all that talent I would say he is on the hot seat.

I know most coaches don't get on the hot seat their first year, but come on, they have soooooo much talent in Stincoln. All those 4* defensive players and Bo's amazing head coaching abilities had better translate to a top 25 defense. Pair that with Heisman lock Joe Ganz and the world best offensive coordinator Shawn Watson.

Add all this with delusional expectations of Fusker Nation and I would say Bo will be on the hot seat his first year. Also, rumblings on Nebraska football boards that Bo can't recruit. Uh oh!!!!!!

5-7= epic fail for Nebraska football in 2008

Backpedal a little faster, bud.

But since we're on the topic of 2009, here's a thought for our Husker friends to chew on:

nine seniors starting on offense in 2008

six seniors starting on defense in 2008 (punter's a senior, too)

second-string qb and second string tail back have zeros on their stat lines.

Y'all better 1) hope you get it done this year cuz the future looks bleak; 2) hope Ganz and/or Lucky make it through the season cuz the second-string look like deer in the headlights.

...only four of the five seniors on o were starters last year

Posted by HBuff:

"Comments posted here are encouraging - when fans of opposing teams start posting about how a player is too small, (LOL - he's not 5'11, he's 5'9 - priceless!) too slow or simply a "daddy's boy", the Buffs are doing something right. Why should they care?

Buff-haters have reason to be nervous - CU has an elite 11 QB (who won the accuracy competition btw) behind center for what may turn out to be 3-4 years. It's not just the driver either - the young WRs will also impress - again, for 3-4 years. Let's hope that slow, short "daddy's boy" doesn't slap your team down. How embarassing would it be to lose to a runt?"

Yes indeed, Nebraska and Oklahoma: how embarassing to lose to a runt!

The QB starter could, and should, be anyone other than Cody Hawkins! Starting your own son at QB sends the message that we at CU do not play fair. The message is clear, at CU, it apparently matters more who you know (or more accurately: who you're related to) than how good you are.

Even if Cody were the best QB (which he clearly is not) I still don't think he should start at CU as long as his father is the coach. As I've said before, if Cody is so good why wouldn't he play somewhere else were the spector of nepotism isn't hanging over him for his entire career?

The answer is that he clearly could not have played, at another BCS school: small, slow, weak-armed QB's just don't play at that level.

Posted by baBUFF on July 9, 2008 at 2:52 p.m. (Suggest removal)

You don't get first team reps in practice just because you're 6'5" - you have to earn them by outplaying the starter which, as anyone who's seen the QBs play this spring knows, hasn't happened. Cody has been the best.

Hey Whos, remind me again who Nebraska's new Defensive Coordinator is?? Oh right, Carl Pelini from NW Alberta Polytechnic School for Girls. Nice hire, but I'm worried it sends the wrong message. Get lost.

"small, slow, weak-armed QB's just don't play at that level"...Are we talking about the same kid that beat OU, TTU, kNU, and CSU? I guess the Hawkins clan must have had relatives refereeing these games because nepotism is the only way this kid could be successful.

Tall - you didn't answer my question. If you haven't been to any scrimages or practices where you have seen the three QBs play then just say so. What facts do you have to state that Ballenger would be the starter if he had more reps? You haven't even seen him play once.

Now it's clear.

Dan coaching Cody is nepotism.

The funny thing is Carl Pelini has the title of Defensive Coordinator, however Bo is going to run the defense and Carl will focus on the D-line. So, DC pay with D-line responsibility. Talk about nepotism.

I can't wait for the natives to get fired up about Bo hiring his brother when their defense is getting lit up early in the season. Call it a victory if they hold Tech under 70.

Daddy's quote - "The answer is that he clearly could not have played, at another BCS school: small, slow, weak-armed QB's just don't play at that level."

What do you have to say about Todd Reesing at KU and Chase Daniels at Mizzou? Small, slow and weak-armed but both schools finished in the top seven nationally.

If you go to a practice and actually see what's going on, Cody is the leader of this team. That was particularly evident at the spring game and especially during non-coached summer workouts.

I honestly think a lot of the people you guys are calling huskers are not huskers. They are Buffs that refuse to pretend as if we have all the right pieces in to place. I sure hope they get into place now. Not two years from now or three. Our record speaks for itself and it pisses me off and it should piss you off.
Im still waiting for anyone to name one proven coligate playmaker on offense.

hungry mangino at ku was on the "hot seat" for three seaons. he sat down an athletic 6'3" qb for a 5'9" player. and, with a 12-1 season, he is now the toast of k.c., and the rest of the nation, to boot. (national coach of the year) it happens.

WhosYourDaddy and Tall are definitely two different persons. WhosYourDaddy is a one-trick pony. I am not at all impressed by his football acumen. The only thing that he knows how to do is to play his nepotism card, and he does this poorly. WhosYourDaddy, do you realized that when Cody graduated from high school he was judged and evaluated by independent observers to be one of the 12 best QBs in the nation? Nepotism played no part in this evaluation. As a result, Cody was invited to the prestigious Elite 11 QB Camp where he excelled in showing his QB skills and talents. As a matter of fact, he was judged to have the most accurate arm of all the QBs in that camp. And that camp was absolutely loaded with QBs who have subsequently become stars for big-time college programs. To name a few, there was Tim Tebow of Florida, Josh Freeman of Kansas State, Juice Williams of Illinois, Jake Locker of Washington, and Matthew Stafford of Georgia.

On the other hand, Tall is a real football junkie who spends an inordinate amount of time reading football related stories on the Internet. His head is filled with football statistics and artifacts. Tall is only here to stir the pot and draw attention to himself. This is his immature and perhaps only way of getting his jollies out of life. In reality, Tall does not really believe in half of what he spews out on these message boards. This makes him a very disingenuous person.

Hey Tall, do I have you pegged, or what?

Ok, rtbunchofnumbers, I'll go. It's July. Right now, it doesn't matter. You don't win games in July. It'll matter in September, October and November. Would it be nice to have Tim Tebow, Knowshon Moreno and Jeremy Maclin lining up for the Buffs? You bet.

But many have faith that Cody Hawkins, Sumler/Lockridge/Scott/Polk, Josh Smith, Simas, Celestine and maybe even Patrick Williams will emerge.

We understand you don't. So we disagree. Repeating your opinion five million times won't make us change our minds.

The Buffs haven't played a down yet and you (real) talk like they've already lost seven games.

Man, with fans like you who needs Huskers trolling around.

Posted by Mousterian on July 9, 2008 at 8:37 p.m. (Suggest removal)

The only statistic that counts is W's & L's
The best QB's are smart, can lead, have heart, and avoid mistakes.
8-4 or 9-3 is a realistic goal for this years BUFFS, a bit wet behind the ears and we still need to see the running game improve not just talk about it.

It took a certain Bill McCartney a few seasons to get the Buffs into the National Title race. With this years baptism under fire, I believe the next few years could be very promising.

If the Huskers are quaking, let em'

with absolutely no "collegiate playmakers" we beat the Big 12 champs (OU) and the best offense (best offensive playmakers too?) in the big 12 (TT).
I hesitate to include the humiliation of the corn because that was no big deal.

real - who said we have all the right pieces? If we had all the right pieces we would be saying that nothing short of a 10+ win season would be expected. The majority of the posts simply say we have a lot of good, young talent and we are anticipating a very good year. That's the optimistic view. You tend to look at things with a glass half full attitude which is your right. Although not a very good way to go through life I might add. Most posters are optimisitc, you are pessimistic. Hopefully you will be wrong.

BTW- Could you morons be any more redundant! Fake- Come and talk to us when players develop. Would you say that the majority of freshman qb's have major success?

I would say that over 3,000 yards passing, 22 td's is acceptabe for a first year starter.especially, With a inexperienced line and an inconsistent run game.

And yes 17 interceptions is too many. But are we talking about a veteran?

If ya'll are true buff fans as you claim to be... Why not give our height challenged qb a chance.

Dont get too excited Tall - Beck, Freeman, Gabbert.......Cody Green ?

Ill put $20 that Green changes his mind, just like the 'saviors' listed above who either never went there or didnt pan out

Flabuff - good point about " would say that over 3,000 yards passing, 22 td's is acceptabe for a first year starter.especially, With a inexperienced line and an inconsistent run game."

any consistency in the run game would have added wins and there were far too many blown routes and tipped balls to put 17 int's on the QB alone. Really, 5-6 of those had nothing to do with the QB at all

Cody will be this year's Reesing\Daniel. Then everyone can act suprised, but they shouldnt be

hey rtbunchonumbers,

Here's what Tom Luginbill had to say of Nebraska's new signee (I'll highlight some important parts for you):

"IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE CORNHUSKERS TO GET A DYNAMIC PLAYER LIKE GREEN TO CREATE SOME EXCITEMENT AND POTENTIAL MISMATCHES. THIS IS AN OFFENSE THAT NEEDS PLAYMAKERS AND GUYS WHO CAN CREATE BIG PLAYS and Green is a step in the right direction as Nebraska works elevate back into college football's elite programs."

Unfortunately, though it sounds like his real upside is a wide receiver. Question in Lincoln remains: whose gonna be behind center in 2009 and beyond?

No I wasnt - your point ?? but Harrison Beck and Sam Keller were. How did your numbers fare in those cases ?

I think 3 star QBs Hawkins, Reesing, Daniel, Bradford and McCoy have fared just a bit better.

Shows how full of it 'rankings' can be. Heck, even BJax was a four star QB and that didnt mean anything either.

Talli fails to mention this Cody Green joker missed most of his Jr. year due to torn ankle ligaments. And most of the recruiting analysts think this guy can’t be a college QB since he can't pass with any effectiveness.

So good job Bo, you just landed a verbal from an injury prone Bernard Jackson clone.

Plus he'll probably de-commit when NU goes 5-7 this season.
