A little extreme, but I like your enthusiasm.

I think Vuren needs a hug. You are an angry person, just like StPaulHusker.

Under the honor code what would the penalty be for, say, killing a raccoon with a wrench, or say, taking some bikes that you thought belonged to nobody, but they were really share a ride bicycles?​

Again, I'm sorry this thread got hijacked by AggieAndee. He does it every week on every BYU opponent board. Let's just ignore him.

The Sione Takitaki suspension is big news. He was singled out by Bronco as one of our two best pass rushers. As I said, our secondary is going to be very suspect this game and we need a strong pass rush to compensate. BYU is notorious for blitzing a lot, and it has backfired plenty of times. It seems like our guys are too slow to get to the QB, they get caught up, or they just don't take the correct angles. Bronson Kaufusi and Fred Warner will be the only two pass rush threats out there, and as a DE, Kaufusi hasn't had much rush success in our base 3-4.

Also, it sounds like our punt game is bad. Actually, not bad, but horrendous. We are using a converted rugby player as our punter. He's from New Zealand and has never played football before. It infuriates me that we are in that situation. The last thing our D needs is short fields and continuously poor field position.

I was using your comment to make a mostly unrelated point that I felt needed to be made. Sorry 2015 Redux. You still my homie? LOMS says we got MAD respect yo.

BYU fan here, First time posting on this board, honestly I'm embarrassed from a few of the Byu fans posting here, kind of makes us look self righteous and immature but hey, I guess every fan bas has a few of them. Anyway just thought I'd say good luck and I have been waiting 9 way too long months for this game. A few of my opinions, if Koroma doesn't play most likely we will lose. If Michael Davis doesnt play then you guys will have a record setting passing day. I feel like if BYU can hold the huskers to under 21 points we have a good shot to win, but from what I have seen BYU usually struggles in their opening games. Anyway im just really bored at work so I thought I would post something.

Also, I love Ameer Abdullah and he is no doubt going to be on my fantasy team.

Welcome to the board!

What's the outlook on Koroma? Or, what's the general feeling/assumption around the program right now? Is he likely to miss the whole game or part of the game?

I wish I could tell you what to expect from this game. Nebraska traditionally has performed quite well on opening games, often times blowing out opponents. But, that's because we were typically playing easy teams like Florida Atlantic. And with the new staff and scheme changes, it makes you wonder how quickly things will click. We've heard some very positive things out of our camp, especially that the defense has come along well and could have one of the best defensive lines in the B1G. And our stud Maliek Collins has been getting just rave reviews.

I'm not sure if it'll be low scoring or high-scoring, but, I'd be concerned if Nebraska only scores 21. Unless the defense is playing lights out, 21 points may not be enough to win the game for Nebraska.

I just keep having flashbacks to two years ago when we had a healthy Taysom and still lost the opener to Virginia. I do get a little encouraged knowing you have a quarterback who hasn't completely proven himself and a new head coach. And Taysom usually plays his best against P5 schools, so thats always a plus. I've been to a few scrimmages, and talked with a few of my buds on the team, and all indications point towards Koroma playing, but he was definitely involved in the fight, even if he was jumped by 4 dudes, but I could see us trying to throw Nebraska off by acting like he is starting and then suspending him right before the game.

Music to our ears. Don't punt to De'Mornay Pierson-El, AKA @DontPunt_15, probably the best PR in CFB.

Yall will be without your starting center? Well your backup may forever have nightmares about Mr Collins after that game

I was thinking the same thing after I read that. Collins and Valentine? Welcome to big-boy college football.

Welcome to the board! We love members of opposing teams come and talk football with us, and we hope you stay around after Saturday.

I'm glad that a fellow Aggie has jumped in, my first memory of the Huskers is them playing Utah state the week that we moved to Lincoln from Logan. With what I have read to be a struggling o-line and not much of a running back that does not bode well for a QB (even a good one) who is injury prone and in what I hope will be a tough road game. I assume BYU will be careful to try and keep him healthy.

I am really looking forward to the game I'm sure it will be a blast.

The biggest concern with Taysom is injuries. His style of play makes it hard to stay healthy the whole season. If he goes down we may be in trouble. Hopefully they keep his running somewhat under control.

Forget the coach speak, forget the hopeful speculation.
How healthy is he legitimately going to be?

They say he looks and feels 100% now but who really knows. It's tough for a guy with his playing style to stay healthy for long. Hopefully he can somehow get through the season.

Here's some fun bits of information about BYU:

--This is the 9th time in the last 11 years that BYU will open the season against a team from a Power 5 conference, having matched up with Boston College, Arizona, Oklahoma, Washington, Ole Miss, Washington State, and Virginia.

• 2005 Boston College: BYU lost 20-3, Boston College finished the year 9-3
• 2006 Arizona: BYU lost 16-13, Arizona finished the year 6-6
• 2007 Arizona: BYU won 20-7, Arizona finished the year 6-6
• 2009 Oklahoma: BYU won 14-13, Oklahoma finished the year 8-5
• 2010 Washington: BYU won 23-17, Washington finished the year 7-6
• 2011 Ole Miss: BYU won 14-13, Ole Miss finished the year 2-10
• 2012 Washington State: BYU won 30-6, Wazzu finished the year 3-9
• 2013 Virginia: BYU lost 19-16, Virginia finished the year 2-10

So while BYU has started the year facing a Power 5 opponent--with the exception of Boston College--no opponent finished with #9wins. Meaning that BYU isn't this world-beating team that a simple 5-3 record against Power 5 opponents would lead you to believe. Nevertheless, BYU will provide a good litmus test for how the Huskers will fare in 2015-16.

--This is the first time in both schools histories that BYU will meet Nebraska.

--BYU is 3-7-1 all time against Big Ten schools

Riley was a better coach yesterday than Bo, Riley is a better coach today than Bo and Riley will be a better coach tomorrow than Bo. Bo has moved to the level of coaching that he belongs at, just like Solich is at the level he is most suited for.

Based on what?

stop

why, because I'm not blindly following a guy?

You guys should look at yourselves, it's frightening. This dude hasn't won anything here yet. You're all drinking the Jim Jones "he's not Bo" kool aid. You're like the college football version of Al Qaeda...

 

[walksalone]

People got really overreacty in this thread. I'm very positive and optimistic about Riley. I think he'll do as well as or better than Pelini, and people who look at Riley's record as a knock on him are ignoring some pretty damn important facts like the talent he had there.

That being said, we don't know how Pelini would do with as little talent as Riley had. IMO, being a good coach is about how many wins you have compared to how much talent you had. So I don't think we have enough to go on to unequivocally state that Riley is a better coach than Bo. Hearsay isn't enough for me. A good coach who is nice is likely going to have more people raving about him than a good coach who is an a-hole. Riley is better at a lot of the aspects of coaching but I can't say yet whether he's a better coach. A few seasons will tell.

thank you...

Who's claiming to be world beating? I think BYU could beat maybe 40-45% of P-5 schools. Nebraska could probably do 60-65%. I think it will be a fun matchup but nobody who live outside the mental hospital is predicting national championships here.
