Pelini Presser

Coach Pelini had the chance to address the media Monday.

He said something interesting things.

First, he talked about a new drill he did with the oline and dline playing 1s on 1s.  They start every practice with it and he feels that it has made the team better and more physical.

Second, they looked around for guys who were being under-used on the current roster.  For the second week in a row that focused on Grant Loy, who is being used in a change of pace wildcat package, except he can also throw.  I continue to think that Pelini would feel better with Loy in, just based on how Nebraska used to play.

For example, Karl Brooks (True FR) caused the fumble Junior scored on.  Cedric Mitchell contributed on special teams.  Caleb Biggers has started the last 2 games as a safety.

So, I think everyone knows that the first two Jinks recruiting classes were thought to be good.  There were some losses and this year's class is currently way below the standard of the first two.  Even so, a new coach will have some talent on the way, if players can be retained.  We shall see.
