Portal Transfer Targets

The identical twins out of Dallas combined for 26 1/2 tackles for loss and 15 1/2 sacks last season for the Mean Green. Their stats were as close to identical as they are, with Grayson having 8 1/2 sacks and 14 1/2 TFLs and Gabriel picking up 7 sacks and 12 TFLs.

Now this is where you might ask, 'Everyone else probably a wants a 2-for-1 deal on this one too, right?' And that would be mostly correct, as the twins have racked up a strong collection of offers since entering the portal on Jan. 27.

247Sports' Chris Hummer included their names on Feb. 11 when accounting for some of the best unsigned players still in the portal. He wrote then, "The twins have received offers from Penn State, UCLA, USC, West Virginia, Kansas, Oregon State and have heard from many others. Gabriel Murphy told 247Sports the brothers do plan to play together at their next stop.

Nice.  They're good.  It's depth.  High motor.  Love to play.  And we need to add some older experienced big guys to the DLine room.  Not sure if we get them (who's our Dline coach?).  I am just glad the Huskers know we need to get help on the line.

oh yeah, they know they need help, warm bodies would be good.

 
I think they'd be helpful for the pass rush problem, but would they really be playing DL? I guess which positions are DL for us are getting more blurred as our OLBs are playing a lot of 4-3 end type stuff. But they would be taking snaps from guys like Nelson and Payne, not snaps from Robinson or Rogers.

Not really. Our Dline is the biggest issue the team has and is going to be the difference in 2-3 wins or losses this season. And the division isn't exactly overwhelming but what most teams do have? A pretty good QB. We need a better pass rush and are going to need more bodies that can play period in order to even have a shot at a winning season. The difference between a winning season and a Division title is paper thin.

Fans talking like this, every year mind you, when we just went 3-9, and have the following records against our divison under Frost is just ridiculous:

Wisconsin: 0-3 (lost 8 in a row overall)

Iowa: 0-4 (lost 7 in a row overall)

Minnesota: 1-3

Purdue: 1-3

NW: 2-2

Illinois: 2-2

Overall: 6-17

You're not living in reality by saying the division isn't overwhelming, to us it is exactly that.  I will agree the D line is the biggest issue on the team, followed closely by the O line.  The defense is primed for a step back and people are just blissfully ignoring that. The offense is learning a new system, with new coaches, and basically new lines on both sides due to the likely position shifting on the O line. Expecting a huge win jump is silly and you will see that when the Vegas odds come out at 5 wins.

 
What a weak way to define a prediction. They didn't beat em so they probably won't.. lol. Those were all winnable close games last year and none of those teams brought in anyone of significant importance. The only one who you can say they have is Michigan State and it was at a position of reloading a position that was already excellent last year.

Nebraska made the most significant change that was needed. A qb who walks off throwing touchdowns not handing out free wins to the other team. These 3 and one piece still on the way would put Nebraska in the position to control the division for thevsecond year in a row.. It doesn't mean they will win, but it's their division to win or throw away. With a little more stability and More important than possibly any other metrics, a far easier Cross division slate.
