Not including PSU/Temple, no reason to watch that game with these three 3:30 matchups.

Left the ND/Texas and Wisconsin/Bama games for the "Night Games" thread.

This Nebraska offense reminds me a bit of the Denard/RichRod offenses. Lots of misdirection lots of wide open people. Doesn't help the D, but when
Its on its on

I'm not able to watch Penn State but it sounds like they look really bad.. are we thinking that is now more of a likely victory for us?

If hack plays like this all year they will have trouble even with a legit D.

I cant imagine he is going to be this bad -he played lights out in last year bowl.  But damn that OL pass protect.  Keep in mind Temple has a good D.

Quickly becoming the most overhyped player on the team because of 2 TDs versus OSU.

Don't get me wrong, we need him. We need some speed, vision and slashing ability. He'd be a great compliment to Smith and the 3rd down back Isaac.

However, he's not walking in and heading to a Heisman. 

I'd much rather have some run blocking and some holes that Smith and get 5, 6, 7 yards in consistenly...then an upgrade in Johnson that has the potential to pop a 20-30 yarder once a game.

Now in an ideal world...you get Johnson behind that improved run blocking...but I'm not going to be picky. Baby steps.

after looking at some of these games, we're in for a VEEERRRRRYYYYYY long season. We'll be extremely lucky to win 6 games. There just isn't enough talent on this year's team. Hoke really screwed this program and it'll be a 5-6 year rebuild at the very least.
