their run game won’t be easy to stop, we’ll need to rotate the dl a lot to remain effective in the 4th….unless our offense finds a way to stay on the field for protracted drives themselves.
I think the point spread move might be related to morgan not playing.
does the cold weather somewhat nullify punting prowess or will taylor continue doing what he does?
Agree, our depth up front on D should show up again. Tory Taylor could also play a huge role in field position in this one.
That punt he had in to the wind last week that Coop stopped inside the 2 was a thing of beauty.
that doesn’t look significant enough to suggest qb related news caused it…
Moving to either side of a “major” number like 3 or 7 is significant but your point stands. Not a huge massive move.
Conceptually I understand and agree with what you're saying. That said, if we play call for deep passes (which we probably won't), and the line gives Petras enough time to let the routes develop (they probably won't)....Petras won't have any trouble throwing the ball 50 yards downfield.
Lee Sterling of Paramount Sports said it's doubtful TM will start.
Yes, but it won't make any difference.
Yes, late in the 2019 game on last drive Morgan was knocked silly by Eppy and/or Evans. He was clearly woozy and stayed in for another snap but then a true fresh ran the last play or two.
No. It's going to be cold as hell, but not sub zero. (unless you're Canadian)
yeah all said and done, i think we'll have to be prepped for both guys perhaps even for them to switch from set of downs or situationally
It really does depend, how is that for an answer? Kicking, like everything else, is more difficult in the extreme cold and wind. If Taylor is punting with the wind and if he gets one that hits the ground and rolls, could see a huge punt. But if he's going into the wind and mis-hits one, you can also see a 20-yard shank. In weather like this, every special teams play is a potential big play. It is very likely there will be a special teams gaffe of some sort. Which team will it be?
If Athlan starts, it will make MN very one-dimensional, which plays in perfectly to PP's defensive approach and they will shut down Ibrahim and the MN Offense. Morgan playing will give them a chance but it sounds like he is not fully healthy.
I disagree. Remember, Nebraska has possibly the worst run defense in the Big Ten. They are a sieve. Everyone runs on them and they aren't disciplined enough to hand RPO with Kali or anyone.
The exact opposite of what you just said is true. Kaliakmanis opens up the offense immensely. Morgan makes the offense predictable and easy to defend. With Morgan the D can key on Ibrahim but with Kaliakmanis they need to worry about his running ability. He also has a rocket for an arm unlike Morgan.
