Anyway, while that first play was disappointing, I read it differently than many might. <BR/><BR/>I didn't have too much issue with our offense last year. We scored enough on offense that we should have at least one two more games simply by our total points (KU and CU). It was our defense that was so anemic.<BR/><BR/>Knowing that a hungry Blackshirt went AFTER the option and batted it down seemed like a little victory in my eyes. The offense seems to have weapons, the defense (??)) Well, it has Cody Glenn and maybe a few others who will step up more than last year.<BR/><BR/>Will we see shadows of Grant Wistrom and Jason Peter running around this year? Well, maybe not, but there's hardly anything that couldn't be an improvement.<BR/><BR/>I liked the spunk and the werewithall this defender (can't recall the name) had to get in there and break it up. I saw more quality tackling at the spring game than I did all last season. Seriously.<BR/><BR/>Disappointed I didn't see a successful option play, but more excited that I saw a shimmer of a real defense.Erika Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415156955392019876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13652090.post-86714834504313237162008-04-21T09:15:00.000-05:002008-04-21T09:15:00.000-05:00I think my daughter enjoyed it.

I bet she'll spend a lot of time napping today, though.<BR/><BR/>Pelini tried to do a Bob Stoops, and open his first spring game with a classic Nebraska play. But a senior walk-on linebacker from Grand Island blew the play up. Oh well. I noticed that the few remaining members of the Kool-aid crowd got a chuckle out of it as some sort of proof the option game is dead.Husker Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05764508184267042143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13652090.post-5511238982588793832008-04-19T23:42:00.000-05:002008-04-19T23:42:00.000-05:00Hope the family had a good day Mike.

At least you had good weather.<BR/><BR/>By the way...Pelini ran the option on the first play?? and turned it over?<BR/><BR/>Oh boy.<BR/><BR/>AJA Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05518175756747531986noreply@blogger.com
