Re: 2012 LB Prospect Helmet Flying Hit
1. Since you name has the word "husker" in it, I won't welcome you here (although I'm sure others will)...
2. Your buddy (#23, I assume) didn't really even deliver the hit - his boy #16 did - although #23 acted like it was all his...
3. If the ball carrier straps his helmet on, this doesn't look sweet at all...
Just my opinion...

Re: 2012 LB Prospect Helmet Flying Hit
I am a husker fan so that's cool. So is my friend but after the SDSU game vs. the Huskers this year a lot more Nebraska kids took notice of your program. I actually played against two of your recruits from last year, the Humphrey St. Francis guys. They were both really good but I think my friend is at least on par with those guys as a Jr. As for the hit though, if 16, who is also a very good player, put on the hit why did he go backwards three yards as soon as 23 got there?

Re: 2012 LB Prospect Helmet Flying Hit
I gotta be honest that game really pissed me off. It didn't make sense that a team with BCS bowl talent could be playing an FCS close like that. It just goes to show how much heart really matters in football. With that said, SDSU has some pretty amazing athletes as well.

Stig was on an Omaha radio station before the season, and when asked how you prep for a game like that, he said that it's tough on the coaches, because you can't use blocking schemes, etc.
SDSU, I think, played their usual game on offense (Minett between the tackles)--it being particularly well suited to Nebraska's smaller LB corps. IMO, the coaching really paid off on defense. Keeping the linebackers back and containing Martinez instead of pressuring him runs counter to the way these guys have been coached since grade school, but it worked. And (unfortunately for you guys) it worked even better when Texas did it. Of course those dropped passes didn't help.

Originally posted by zooropa View PostI think they're all redshirting, so I don't know as anyone outside their coaches would have any insight at this point. They were all recruited, which means something. If they're hardnosed and teachable, they'll go as far as their abilities will take them.

Re: 2012 LB Prospect Helmet Flying Hit
They were both good players in HS, but I thought their success had a lot to do with the fact that they had such a superior team. Korus led the state in yards but in my opinion we played two or three backs better than him during the year. However, he had some of the best body control/balance I've seen. As for Krings, one of my friends who played with him on an all-star team said that he had just great technique and used his long arms well to get leverage. He definitely has the body to pack on some weight and I think could be a pretty good D end.

Re: 2012 LB Prospect Helmet Flying Hit
First of all, welcome to the board! As a fellow Nebraskan, I always enjoy seeing more Husker fans sharing their interest in the Jackrabbits. My family prefers to wear blue on Saturdays, but we are Huskers too.
As far as the hit, it looked impressive - but it was against a pretty soft Amherst team. I know a number of kids in the Amherst school and they have few players that like to hit this year. I also viewed the second video clip from the Amherst game and was disappointed that he wasn't flagged for that hit. Both kids took two steps after the kid dropped the pass and he drilled the receiver with a high hit. That is not acceptable.
On the long youtube video, I did like how most of his tackles were aggressive tackles at the waist or legs. Those hits are the ones that kids don't get away from and will typically not get injured. Good luck to the kid and I hope he has a successful senior campaign and gets a chance to play at the next level.
