Speaker 1: Okay, Shana, let's visit about your compatriot, Jake Crane. Do
0:03
Speaker 1: you ever watch his podcast of the Crany Cove.
0:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do. I've been on the show a few times.
0:11
Speaker 1: Oh good.
0:12
Speaker 2: They worked with on three in our building. Now, so
0:18
Speaker 2: he talked about their prediction what they do on their show.
0:20
Speaker 1: Well, no, I was going to reference a remark that
0:23
Speaker 1: he made about the quarterback situation, and Jake says that
0:26
Speaker 1: a one eyed Anthony Calandria is better than Dylan Riola. Now,
0:31
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's just clickbait or if Riola
0:34
Speaker 1: snubbed him once or maybe Ryola took one of his girlfriends.
0:37
Speaker 1: I don't know, but he says a half blind Jake
0:40
Speaker 1: Calandria would be better than Dylan Ryola.
0:44
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean that's a little extreme. I mean I
0:46
Speaker 2: think this is his biggest thought on that is the
0:48
Speaker 2: mobility factor and how much they were limited by not
0:52
Speaker 2: having a quarterback that could bail you out in situations
0:55
Speaker 2: when you needed to get away. And you know, Matt Ruhland,
0:59
Speaker 2: I know, has said they will never not have a
1:01
Speaker 2: mobile quarterback. They have to have a mobile quarterback, always
1:04
Speaker 2: moving forward, and you know, I think it hurt them
1:07
Speaker 2: when you look at some of the games against Minnesota
1:10
Speaker 2: and Michigan and you know their offensive line issues, but
1:13
Speaker 2: a quarterback with some mobility could get away from some
1:15
Speaker 2: of that if they were able to run better. So,
1:18
Speaker 2: I mean, that was probably the biggest thing last year Dylan.
1:21
Speaker 2: No one's going to question his arm mobility, his arm talent,
1:24
Speaker 2: but his ability to kind of create when the play
1:26
Speaker 2: breaks down, and then college football you have to be
1:28
Speaker 2: able to do that.
1:29
Speaker 1: Well, he might have been the only one that questioned
1:32
Speaker 1: his arm talent because he refused to throw a fader out.
1:34
Speaker 1: But let's visit about a couple of other people. There's
1:37
Speaker 1: a lot of buzz about how much better this defense
1:39
Speaker 1: is going to be. Well, we'll see about that. But
1:41
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what scheme you're playing if you don't
1:43
Speaker 1: have people up front who can stop the run. And
1:45
Speaker 1: this has been a major problem for Nebraska at least
1:49
Speaker 1: certainly was since the Natt Hutmasher and ty Robinson left
1:54
Speaker 1: the program. But is just Sheer Winningham enough what else
1:59
Speaker 1: we've talked about, Tyson, But is you sher Winningham, who's
2:01
Speaker 1: the big money free agent? Is he enough to fix that?
2:05
Speaker 2: Well? O, when stodhom Iyer is in that category two,
2:07
Speaker 2: and Whittington and Stodhom are going to play a lot
2:10
Speaker 2: in the middle, you know, with Riley Van Poppol probably
2:14
Speaker 2: Tyson Terry. Then you have a group of other guys
2:16
Speaker 2: they want to play six and I think the first
2:18
Speaker 2: three games are going to allow them to do that.
2:21
Speaker 2: The biggest thing I think is the level of coaching
2:24
Speaker 2: and teaching is better than what it has been. Terry
2:28
Speaker 2: Braden had never coached really a room like that last year,
2:32
Speaker 2: and it showed they just I don't think they were
2:34
Speaker 2: really lined up right or developed properly. And you know,
2:38
Speaker 2: even Terrence Knight and before that had been kind of
2:41
Speaker 2: more of a rookie coach in that role. And now
2:44
Speaker 2: you've got Corey Brown, who's a longtime coach who's coached
2:47
Speaker 2: all the way down on the small college level. Dave
2:49
Speaker 2: Tollison was his assistant, Roy Manning came on the edges
2:54
Speaker 2: with Rob Warwich. So I think the continuity in the
2:59
Speaker 2: team and the coaching is night and day from what
3:02
Speaker 2: I've gathered, and that is going to make a difference
3:04
Speaker 2: because it wasn't a lack of material always at times
3:07
Speaker 2: it was the mother la Nebraska is getting blown off
3:11
Speaker 2: the ball. It was more where guys lined up, where
3:14
Speaker 2: they're playing the right techniques, the right gaps, the right reads,
3:18
Speaker 2: because some of those reasons were why we saw the
3:20
Speaker 2: big plays last.
3:21
Speaker 1: Year, especially in the Iowa Penn's Day game. There's another
3:23
Speaker 1: player that I think a lot of Husker fans are
3:25
Speaker 1: wondering about.
3:26
Speaker 2: And it is a.
3:27
Speaker 1: Crowded wide receiver room, but what about Dimitriu's bell. This
3:31
Speaker 1: was one of the top receivers out of the recruiting
3:34
Speaker 1: class of a couple of years ago. He's had a
3:36
Speaker 1: lot of injuries, He's a red shirt junior. Is this
3:39
Speaker 1: guy ready for a breakout season? And will they have
3:42
Speaker 1: enough footballs in the air to make all of these
3:44
Speaker 1: receivers happy?
3:45
Speaker 2: No, he's really I mean, I don't even know if
3:47
Speaker 2: he's practicing at this point right now. I don't know
3:49
Speaker 2: where he's at with the injury situation with him. That
3:53
Speaker 2: is a very defined, established top group. Gym Quasi Gilmer
3:56
Speaker 2: is their big free agent. He was the leading receiver
3:59
Speaker 2: for VCLA Corey Barney and isaaah Hunter the leading of
4:02
Speaker 2: receivers from the Huskers a year ago. That's your top
4:04
Speaker 2: three and then Quinn Clark, Jediron, Bonner, Cortez Mills, maybe
4:10
Speaker 2: than Keelan Smith. I mean, those guys all would be
4:13
Speaker 2: ahead of him right now in the depth chart.
4:15
Speaker 1: So he's one of those recruits that just didn't work out.
4:17
Speaker 1: And the injuries are probably a factor. What you've been
4:20
Speaker 1: injured enough, it's very difficult to motivate yourself back, especially
4:25
Speaker 1: when you look at all of the guys in front
4:26
Speaker 1: of you on the depth chart. All right, we got
4:28
Speaker 1: a scrimmage tomorrow. What do they hope to get done
4:30
Speaker 1: in a scrimmage tomorrow?
4:32
Speaker 2: You know, you only get a couple of these, and
4:34
Speaker 2: this is a big one for Nebraska. But I think
4:37
Speaker 2: the live work with your running backs is so important
4:40
Speaker 2: because you just don't get an opportunity to take them
4:43
Speaker 2: down live a lot in camp. So I think that's big.
4:47
Speaker 2: But yeah, your defense, I mean you want to see
4:49
Speaker 2: how these guys respawn, how they play in the scheme
4:51
Speaker 2: as well, and who wins the script? I mean, is
4:56
Speaker 2: it a good side of defense wins it? Or is
4:58
Speaker 2: a good sign at the offense? Whin's it? You'd like
5:00
Speaker 2: to maybe see both sides have some success. Most importantly,
5:03
Speaker 2: you want a clean scrimmage, nobody getting hurt, but just
5:06
Speaker 2: you don't want you don't want procedural penalty balls on
5:10
Speaker 2: the ground, things that really come back to bite. Yet
5:13
Speaker 2: when you start playing in September, all right, that's KAF.
5:16
Speaker 1: It'd be a Husker Info strong man shot Callah exclusively
5:18
Speaker 1: at on Han eleven to ten kf be
