(Spring) Game Week

what're you looking for/wanting to see most this weekend?

 

[Walleye 1]

Oline. For the love of gawd please show an improved cohesive unit.

 

[SuperBigFan]

4 of us are going, planning on leaving Omaha around 9am.

Think we are going to do an old school bar crawl before the game, just to catch up and have fun.

For the game, I just am happy that it will be a real game. I hope (and assume) it will have real scoring too, not all those lame points for a sack or a fumble...

 

[SickOfPractice]

Competent looking QB and O-Line play.

 

[BleedRed78]

I want to see who they might be messing with at fullback!

Also looking for a defense that's not as bad as some here we're predicting. Hopefully guys are flying around and it's full of contact

 

[Redmich]

I want to see some commits the following week. The spring game atmosphere is the biggest recruiting advantage we have over other programs

 

[Husker.Wed._rivals]

Scott vs Hutmacher

 

[Champs 70-71-94-95-97]

Improvement in fundamentals. No false starts, etc…

 

[EmormousDouchebag]

Hope.

I hope it’s competitive back and forth. I don’t want to see one side of the ball totally dominate. Because, of course the narrative will be how much the other side sucks. I want to see some big runs and accurate throws, but I want to see a D that swarms to the ball.

Pain

Judging by who Rhule targeted in the Portal for QB, I think there will be some designed runs and reads for the signal caller. Like last year, it will look like **** if the OL is injured and underperforming

 

[NYC-Husker]

Evidence that Wynn, The Nutsmasher and Buckley can play a significant number of snaps against Big Ten opponents.

have said it before and have yet to see any evidence to the contrary:

Wynn and Mathis were not in game shape to start last season

I don't think we'll have to worry about that this year

I think you're right since both arrived in the summer, rather than before spring ball last year.

I've also read positive things about all 3 of those guys in the spring, but we're still thin on the DL, so even if all 3 of those guys are game ready, it still only gives us 4 or 5 guys to rotate on the DL (adding those 3 + Robinson and Jeudy, bit im not sure Jeudy even plays the same position as the other 4).

Whether the 3 of my 4 homeschool kids I am taking to the game can navigate socially in a big crowd without having to jet back home and cower in a basement closet. (OT reference from a couple months ago).

Assuming a success for the above, I have generally been intrigued by the DBs. Would like to see good coverage from the CBs and maybe a helmet flying off due to a hit by one of the safeties. (hope it is a walkon RB and not one in the top 4 rotation...)

[inthedeed]

big plays on d and o and special teams. real battle going on like we are determined to not be losers again

 

[SuperBigFan]

Creeping back up to the 50's now...if the wind dies down and it is 55 and sunny, it should make for a big difference in terms of butts in seats.

Scott vs Hutmacher

Big daddies brawl.

 

[dinglefritz]

One nice thing is having enough QB depth on the roster and CT waiting in the wings is that you don’t have to be quite so petrified of a serious QB injury in a scrimmage. Hopefully even though they’re live the D doesn’t do anything stupid.
