Zipmeister Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 I have changed my prediction. If the Huskers pull their first AND SECOND units before the start of the second quarter they will NOT cover the spread. Go Zips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy5 Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 Scott Frost is a pretty decent coach and if he thinks the freshman is their best QB, there's a reason. I remember watching an 18 year old true freshman Jameis Winston go like 32 for 35 in his first start at Pitt. Guess what I'm saying is we have no idea if this kid will be good or not, but being a freshman has sht to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kangaroo Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Being realistic that they're "Nebraska" and in the Big 10...this is still about as good a chance as the Zips will have to get a Power 5 win. Huskers were 4-8 last season, with a loss to Northern Illinois. They're starting a freshman QB. It's not exactly Baker Mayfield, backed by Samaje Perine and Mixon. "Can the Zips offense move the ball?" is the big question. "Can Davis, Brady and Gilbert make the Freshman QB uncomfortable?" is probably my #2 biggest key. Our defense will hold it's own, if they get a few breathers. If the offense goes 3-and-out all day, we're screwed. Fingers are crossed that Sands is healthy. If he played the entire game, that would be huge. Keep the turnovers to a minimum, Kato. And hit your open WR's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confident that our D will test him early and often. He may be the real deal, but one does wonder if this is a product of an empty cupboard. I was going to try to make the trip to Lincoln, but $!00 seats 45 rows deep in the corner of the end zone will be keeping me home. I will be in Evanston and Ames.

For Northeast Ohio this is one of those neighbor-texts-you "Holy crap...turn on Channel 8...the Zips are up 20 on Nebraska in the 4th quarter!!" games. You couldn't ask for a higher-visibility opportunity for the program to get some recognition. Could be "Zips-Michigan Part II"? A competitive showing, or better yet a win, would be HUGE.

It's not like this kid was the sure-fire starter coming into camp. He had to win the job, and it doesn't sound like it was a convincing victory, either. Time will tell, but on paper, it's a great scenario for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Gebbia doesn't live to regret his move. Turner Gill, the best (what is now called a duel threat) QB ever at Nebraska started his soph. year as 3rd string. Injuries to the two guys ahead of him made him the starter just a few games into the season. Somebody is going to get one hell of a QB in Gebbia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 don't we normally post depth charts for game week? curious if there are any surprises or not, even though the depth chart might not mean much.

LZIp Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) Per that presser, Brimage only has a sprained MCL and is expected to be out 3-4 weeks. TB said he was somewhere between 2-3rd team, however. I never heard TB be that open about an injury before. Council got moved to RT which is interesting. Must not have been happy with Bullard there, which is not a big surprise. Hunter Corne is now the starting LG (took Councils spot). I didn't hear anything about Trevor Brown. Hopefully that means he is fine. Van Edwards apparently clear #1. Sands #2. Floyd and Alce been battling injuries all camp.
