Experienced QBs lead Nebraska and BYU

Riley was up and down in his recent openers at Oregon State. In today’s NET News Signature Story, Riley talks one-on-one with Kevin Kugler of NET Sports about the transition, life in the spotlight and the 2015 Huskers. It’s easy to come out in practice and think you had a good practice, but you always go back and watch tape and see you could have done this and this and this better. “However totally different sorts of personalities in our enterprise have all been profitable”. Whether it’s people in the training room, you know all around that surround a football team. “I’ve been really impressed with this team, the closeness that they’ve had with one another”. “My stomach goes in knots when I think about it. It’s not necessarily nerves”. “It’s a new group that’s working together and getting comfortable playing with each other”.

“Right now the third is a little bit up in the air, (but) we can rotate a couple of guys”, Beck said. Does that awkwardness, has that dissipated by this point? So what you want to form as a coaching staff is a consistency, so the players know that they’re going to see the same guy tomorrow that they saw yesterday.

“We’ve experienced this before”, Hill said.

“The obvious bad answer is location, where I am at, but Fall Camp-there is so many common parts to it, it is more similar than not”, he said.

“We have a redshirt freshman with Gates, you have seniors with me, Reeves and Chongo, and then you have Dylan Utter in there, the little dirt dog”.

Flynn’s screamer off the crossbar in the 62nd minute was just one of many close calls and missed chances Nebraska had in a 2-0 loss to No. 11 BYU on Monday night at Hibner Stadium. “I tend to think some of it looks pretty good”, Riley said. “For whatever the reason, sometimes those deep throws are just different if you’re out in the open as opposed to enclosed in the stadium, so we like to get the feel for our home field”. That we can spend some good family time and we’re pretty aware of how to do that. “In order that’s actually what we did”.

“I’ve really thought about it when we’ve gone out for scrimmages the last few days”, he said. There’s not much else out there.

Of course, that could change if Riley, the former Oregon State and San Diego Chargers head coach, loses Nebraska’s first season-opening football game since 1985, when Bobby Bowden and Florida State won on a blazing hot afternoon in Lincoln. “We came out on the good end of things but it was a grind”. Just very, very simple signs of disciplined football. “Just about every one of their running plays has the element of the quarterback keeping the ball”. So that’s the picture that we want to portray as a football team. Players acknowledged a negative vibe last season, an us-against-the-world mentality that was fostered under the previous staff. In Pelini’s last meeting with the players, he was secretly recorded using language derogatory to women in describing athletic director Shawn Eichorst.
