Life in the Red Group

Posted by: Guido on September 1, 2009 2:59PM CST Bam! I'd like close games against the ranked teams and blowouts against the teams we should beat. is that asking too much?

Posted by: MileHiHusker on September 1, 2009 3:00PM CST Usually pretty high??

Posted by: Rygolf on September 1, 2009 3:01PM CST We'll see...I figure that the games we are supposed to win, we'll do so handily. The games that we are supposed to lose, we'll lose so in hard fought battles that are much closer than last year's blowouts. Right now the line I saw on NU is 21 1/2...remember, TO is going to play the "politically correct" role as to seem that he's not picking on them nor that we scheduled cupcakes. He knows that we are going to win each of these first three games by 20+ each! GO BIG RED!!!

Posted by: MileHiHusker on September 1, 2009 3:02PM CST Anyone get the feeling from reading this that TO is not impressed by what he has seen with the offense? I'm a true Husker...paranoid.

Posted by: Islander/Husker on September 1, 2009 3:02PM CST TO is a wise man. You have to prepare hard for every team. In today's game with all the parity there are no give me's. Just ask Colorado against Montana State, or Michigan agains Applaician State. While I think we will win against FA, Shellenberger will have them well prepared.

Posted by: bigredN on September 1, 2009 3:03PM CST I could listen to Osborne talk about football all day.

Posted by: Islander/Husker on September 1, 2009 3:12PM CST Mike, we can can make all kind of interpretations, and it's ok to be a little paranoid. But, I feel this defense is really going to be the strength of this team. On offense we have talent, but we have a fairly inexperienced WR corp. Inexperience in our #2 I-back postion. A Qb with very little game day experience and the two backups with no snaps in the college level. So it may take several games before they reach an idenity. Still we don't know until we play the games. bigredN - TO probably has forgot more football, than what any other Coach knows, and still knows more than they do.

Posted by: India_Husker@USC on September 1, 2009 3:12PM CST Think TO is making a comparative reference to his '95 team. All he is saying is, it will be 55-10 instead of 70-3. Sorry BO, you have to do better.

Posted by: Low Country Husker on September 1, 2009 4:11PM CST It seems there are some that forget Lee is a JUCO transfer. Below is what he did his last year at San Fran. I know he is in the big legues now but he has had a year to grow into the system. Lee had a standout campaign for Coach George Rush, with more than 3,400 passing yards and 35 touchdowns while completing 64 percent of his passes. Lee's performance led San Francisco City College to a 10-2 record and an appearance in the California junior college title game. The City College of San Francisco offense averaged nearly 40 points per game with Lee at the controls.

Posted by: no nothing on September 1, 2009 5:29PM CST Even Tom does not sound overly optimistic about our offense. "I think the offense can be good. Hopefully it'll all fall into place". He is going to watching to see overall improvement. I think there is a little implied pressure in those statements. I am glad to see it. GBR
