Huskers week 1

The Huskers are back in action again. It was a good showing by the boys in red. Especially the first half of play on offense and defense. The second half was not so good. Less emphasis on playing the fundamentals defensively and Joey got a little sloppy with decision making.

Things that really stuck out to me.
1. Passion: Bo and Carl's animation and love for the game comes through. The defense is fast and will continue to improve over the coming weeks.
2. Joe Ganz is a good leader and a solid quarterback.
3. Tight ends actually returned to being a part of the offense for more than a drag route.
4. Speed on defense. Ty Steinkuhler, Barry Turner and Cody Glenn are freakishly talented kids who plays at full tilt.
5. Alex Henery is a weapon and will win us 2 games this year.
6. Our nickel defense was effective most when it delivers those crazy bo blitzes.
7. Players from previous dominant NU teams were once again on the sideline...awesome thing to see again.

This week we play San Jose State. This should be a great game for us on offense to put up 40+ points again. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks we will get to enjoy the running game a little more with Helu and Castille slicing and dicing between the tackles. Look for some big plays this week to our tall tight ends and a huge pass play to Swift again.

All in all. It's the fall. I'm glad college football is back on the radar again. Go big red!
