MSHoosier Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 I was very pessimistic after Michigan State. Really proud of how they hung in there and won at Maryland, although you could argue that it should not have been close given the terps injuries.. Before the season I marked Nebraska down as a loss. Now I don't expect a win, but it sure seems more possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I heard..... game time decision. Editing to add : After checking the Husker fan boards. And this is just speculation on their part. Martinez and his backup may not get the start against Indiana. Instead freshman McCaffrey who is from Colorado, and who's dad, Ed, played for the Denver Bronco's has been getting more than the normal amount of reps this week. I've seen McCaffrey play as a prepster. He's good. But I don't think he's ready for our Hoosiers. Anyway.... just speculation as of today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us old folk, that's the youngest son of Easy Ed McCaffrey, of Giants/49ers/Broncos fame. For the younger crowd, Christian McCaffrey's brother. Also, throw Ed and his wife up there with the Zellers in terms of parenting. 4 kids, all of which played/are playing D1 football, and 3 at academic powerhouses: Max (Duke, played against IU in the Pinstripe Bowl), Christian (Stanford), Dylan (Michigan) and Luke (Nebraska) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's also include mom in the sports discussion. Lisa, was a standout soccer player at Stanford. And Ed, is the head football coach at Valor Christian High School, in Highland's Ranch, Colorado.

WIth a bloodline like he has. Perhaps we don't want Luke to start against IU. After all. We don't want another freshman Phillip Rivers type of embarrassment.

He did it 5 or 6 times and was correct each time. He said Luke Recker is the absolute worst defender he has seen, but his instinct and ability more than make up for it and leadership us in off the ball steals and deflections. Said it drives Knight bonkers that's a short drive and knight already has the map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 It appears to me, after reading stories out of Nebraska and Indiana. That both coaches are playing the who's gonna start QB game. In IU's case, Penix has been practicing. But is still "game day". In Nebraska's case, Martinez has been looking like his old self. But may not be ready to go. And his back up is sure not to start. According to them. And third string McCaffrey may have to be called in to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the Cleveland State BB tournament game in 1986 still sticks in my craw. Agree. We need to focus on Nebraska. Martinez and Penix? Vedral and Ramsey? McCaffrey maybe?

Well, you're right in that he did see action, but the only thing the box score indicates is that he had one rush (a sack it sounds like) for -7 yards with no other pass attempts. ARE didn't have any receptions, but had 27 pass attempts and 14 rushing attempts. Just a blind guess, but either ARE went out for a play with an injury, or it was a busted trick play.

rico Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 We are on the cusp of something our younger fan base has not seen in their lifetime concerning IU football. I want so much to beat the Huskers. I want the improbable to happen from tomorrow on. Visions of 10-2 dancing in my head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
