@jw: No appointments with Lue have been scheduled that I know of. I do need to reach out to him again. I had been trying to get hold of him during playoffs. This obviously might be a better time. As for the Nebraska men's basketball coaching position ... I really try to refrain from speculating on Miles' successor since there are no clear signs that Miles' job is in jeopardy.

Will Lamar Jackson start

by Braden 8/15/2016 7:07:54 PM
@Braden: I'm not ready to make that leap. I do think he will play immediately -- perhaps in sub-packages.

by Steven M. Sipple 8/15/2016 7:08:46 PM
@Fli7: Good afternoon! Based on comments I've read from both, I'm not sure the arrest will have a dramatic impact -- unless folks close to those players try to influence their thinking, which is obviously possible.

by Steven M. Sipple 8/15/2016 7:10:34 PM
Ya I agree do you think Lamar will start at special teams

by Braden 8/15/2016 7:10:47 PM
@Braden: Very, very possible.

Riley seems content with the way both OL and DL are progressing. Can we be a top 50 team in rushing and total def?

by FLhusker 8/15/2016 7:11:06 PM
@FLhusker: Nebraska ranked 64th in total defense last year. I think a top-50 defense is a reasonable goal. I wouldn't go much further than that, though.

How is the fullback situation? Do you believe there is a front runner?

when you guys are at practice are you guys allowed to conversate with the nfl scouts that attend practice? ifso are you allowed to publicly say what they are seeing in players or does the univeristy not allow that. if your allowed to what have they noticed thats different from the coaching staff from the last or as a program as a whole.

@jw: I thought Lee looked excellent Saturday. O'Brien also had his moments. If I were O'Brien, I would try to make my size (6-4, 230) and overall athleticism into an edge -- because O'Brien is a bigger and better overall athlete than Lee (6-4, 205). That said, Lee is very polished. Lee is very decisive and gets rid of the ball quickly. Both have good arm strength. What I really liked about Lee was, even though he's sitting out this season per NCAA transfer rules, he operated with the urgency and focus of someone who is competing for a starting job right now. Very impressive indeed.

@Braden: No captains named as of yet.

by Steven M. Sipple 8/15/2016 7:26:30 PM
Has the NU athletic department ever held or conceived of a seminar where John Cook (and maybe Biil Straub) gives other NU head coaches insight about what it takes to credibly compete for national championships?

by Newport Red 8/15/2016 7:27:30 PM
which team in each division has the largest parity between the two divisions?
