Nebraska VS UL

[CrappDaddy]

_ Bo knows Nebraska, he knows it is the 300th consecutive sell out blah blah blah. He will have our team ready and I have a feeling our D is going to have a big Chip on their shoulder after handing VaTech the game this past weekend. I don't know alot about UL but I do know i hope they come prepared or else it could get ugly. Anyone feel like giving me some insight on Cajun football? Runningbacks? Style of offense? _

60 total yards. That was the difference between LSU and UL. A couple of dropped interceptions cost them what could have been a close one.

Can we expect the same offense from Nebraska (mostly run) just like Kansas State, but more option plays and better execution? I know Nebraska's defense will most likely be the toughest we face, just wondering what their offense will bring.

They have a really good runner in Helu Jr. He had a nice game against VT. They went into the season with another guy (Castille I believe) but I don't know but I think he got kicked off the team. Zac Lee is supposed to be pretty good and went up against a really good VT defense and didn't have a very good day. I don't think they have the weapons that LSU has on the outside and I'm not sure how good their Oline is but their D will be stout. They gave up less than 300 yards to Virginia Tech and allowed less than 100 yards on the ground to a tradition rich run program.

_ Hey guys, just wanted to see what you all thought of the upcoming game this weekend. Im pretty excited to get to tailgate with some of your fans as in the past it always turns out to be a good time with good food and good people. Watched ya'lls game with LSU rough but I'm excited for you guys to come in and test our young team. As you all may know we just had a close one with VT and lost by one. rough...I guess if a football game was 58 mins we would have one. Mental mistakes cost us on that one. Anyway I would love to hear who you guys have, who to watch, and any friendly predictions. _

I watched that game and was pulling for the Huskers. I can't believe that guy got behind a prevent secondary. Looked like busted coverage. I guess your boys are all ____ed off now and looking for someone to take it out on. :-)

Thanks for all the insight sounds like you have a team that could give us a game. Nebraska is not a one deminsional team at all though to answer some of your questions, yeah we have a work-horse in Helu but Zac Lee has a strong and better arm that Ganz did and he really shows it. Back in the game against ASU he hit Niles Paul(One reciever who is really starting to blow up) on a 70 yard fly route for a td but was called back due to holding. We have a group of recievers that are quick and have good tall and physical that should allow us to pick on your shorter corners and safetys. As for our O-line they are big and physical and like to hit you in the chin and keep it coming all game. VaTech witnessed that all game last weekend and their D was tired in the 4th. As for our D, our front 4 is much stronger faster and experienced than LSU. Suh the anchor is just an all around animal, he destroys his blocker and disrupts the backfeild. Solution by vatech was to try and double team him, terrible idea as jared crick his counterpart at DT took advantage and blew up the backfeild time and time again. Then you go out to our ends, Pierre Allen and Barry Turner are both studs who are quick and really like to hit. Barry Turner is back for a 5th year medical redshirt season as he broke his leg last year in the second game on a Suh interception. Look for these front four to disrupt and put your qb on his back atleast 3 or 4 times. Our LB's are young but explosive, you question our speed on D but ask Tyrod Taylor just how quick these guys are, he couldn't get around us and part is due to the speed at LB. Sean Fisher, Blake Lawerence, Will Compton and company have the ingredients to be the real deal and they are hard hitting no-nonsense players just like their D Coordinator and head coach, the pelini brothers. Phillip Dillard is a senior LB with lots of heart and a ton of leadership to bring to the table, he just worked his way back into the rotation after ____ing off the coaches in spring ball by showing up 15lbs over weight. Since then he dropped his 40 time to a 4.5 flat and really has shown passion. Look for him to have a big game. DB's and Safetys except for that last bone head mental break down have been playing excellent. Amukamara is probably our stud who is running a 4.36 40 and can really fly to the ball. He is always in the right place at the right time and he loves to take a rb on in open feild. The rest of the dbs are kind of on a rotation and you never know who will step out on the feild. This would be the spot to expose us, catch us on a mental break. Don't expect one as Pelini and Co. will not be letting them forget their mistake and you better beileve they are going to come out flying to ball and ready to make some big plays. Its still a little early for me to predict the score because i read into everything before making my predictions but im thinking this is going to be a statement game for nebraska as they still have not been handed their blackshirts on defense which is a pride and prestigous thing.

Also to kind of give you all a bigger picture of the nebraska's versitility, against ASU helu had 156 rushing yards in 18 carries and 2 touchdowns and Lee threw for over 300 yards and 0 interceptions with 4 tds i believe. The huge stat was everyone was getting touches he completed passes to 14 different players. We have depth at TE as well. 3 studs that love to get up feild and make physical catches.

Suh is a freak of nature. I watched that guy last week. He's hard to contain.

Well I am actually only a Senior at UNL and there are a ton of things to do and see. I can tell you two things about your stay in Lincoln. 1. You don't have to be worried about supporting your team or any hostile areas as far as worrying about being a Ragin Cajun, we love out of town fans and love the company. I gaurentee you can sport your fan gear all weekend and you will be fine, although you may get some good conversations because the people of Lincoln are very welcoming. 2. There is a ton of good eats in Lincoln as well as shopping. I recommend Scheels if you want to see a store that is quite amazing and if you into hunting and fishing as I am you'll love the upper deck, although you may hate the lower part as its 100 percent nebraska apparel and tons of other nebraska stuff. If you need any certain specifics let me know Id be happy to let you know. The nebraska bookstore is one of my alltime favorites although you not being a nebraska fan it might not intrest you. The Campus is amazing and I would encourage you going through and taking in the tradition and the history. And since you probably remember the 90's youll really find it a special place. I hope you are welcomed and if you all are tailgating and see us in the big red husker tent and the 5 grills feel free to stop by and get some free food on us, we are making ribs, brisket, and some damn good steaks. O and roasted corn of course, but im sure you already assumed that

Football is about matchups and not rankings. The main problem for the Cajuns will be the Corn Husker lines, especially the offensive line that is big and strong and has played better then LSU's. The Huskers have always had a great tradition of linemen, but this group certainly is more athletic and big. Your skilled postion athletes as a group don't come close to LSU's speed. You have one really great back and wide reciever, that will demand attention.

On defense, I agree your line as a group is better then LSU's. But I disagree that your ends are faster then Aliem and that group at LSU. I watched Allen and Turner, both of them are good, but they don't get up the field as fast. Where Nebraska has the advantage on both sides of the ball is size and they are physical. The Huskers are way more physical then LSU on both sides of the ball and that could mean a lopsided win if the Cajuns don't execute and allow Nebraska to controll the ball.

The Cajuns have plenty enough speed to play defense against Nebraska, but cannot go head-to- head in a base defense. We will mix it up on defense and get after you. On offense, the Cajuns will have to throw the ball and work the run in with backs and the QB.

Overall, this is a bad matchup for the Cajuns when it comes to facing a Nebraska team coming off a loss and the 300th game sellout celebration. Nebraska is physical and big, and that is where the advantage will be on the field. The Cajuns will come out and get after it, so I'm sure how this game will play out. But I do hope Nebraska is looking at the Cajuns as a walk-over, that would be a mistake.
