Wanted to post this before the game, but there is a video with Adam and the guy from Nebraska's 247 site that talked about the matchup, and also talked about guys to watch, or guys that were the best players from each team. The Nebraska guy mentions at 8:35 on this video about Nebraska CB Quinton Newsome and then they show some highlights of Quinton.
This first video shows a man-to-man moment where the receiver fakes out and then cuts inside off the line, and everything Newsome does is wrong, terrible technique, if you watch the other video I linked, which is Prime coaching his Cornerbacks, with one of the most important things is to use your outside hand/arm to disrupt the route/WR and then run with him. Newsome stabs with his right arm and whiffs, and is off balance immediately. If Newsome is great, and I hope he goes to the league, but he has bad techniques, because he is likely coached by a JAG Cornerback coach, nothing like Prime. This is an example of how Nebraska is low on talent and weak on coaching.
Prime's CB are and will be the best because of this detail to excellence.
I am thrilled that Matt Rhule is Nebraska's coach, it makes our chances against them better and better
Honest question here.
Even if the starters are practicing against the second stringers, what are the odds in any given week that either our WRs or our DBs will be facing players better coached and/or more talented than they see in practice?
