Speaker 1: Welcome to the Return to Glory podcast.
0:27
Speaker 3: Welcome back Return to Glory and Tontern Dak. This morning.
0:33
Speaker 4: Today we are going to rank the ten most impactful
0:40
Speaker 4: players for Nebraska football this fall. And impactful, I guess
0:48
Speaker 4: for me, is not necessarily mean the best. I'm looking
0:52
Speaker 4: at the season's swing value, you know, boom and bust.
0:57
Speaker 4: If the guy goes off, how much better can we be?
1:01
Speaker 4: And if he if he busts, how much worse do
1:04
Speaker 4: we become? So the bigger that gap, to me is
1:07
Speaker 4: is what makes a player more impactful. So Dak does
1:11
Speaker 4: have his top ten that he put together, and he's
1:16
Speaker 4: gonna give his entire list first here and I will
1:22
Speaker 4: give mine at the end. But before Dak, you go
1:26
Speaker 4: here and give your number ten. What does what's impactful
1:28
Speaker 4: mean to you?
1:32
Speaker 1: Like you said, it means, It basically means how you
1:36
Speaker 1: you're gonna affect the game. How much effect the game? Too?
1:41
Speaker 1: Is more is more online? What I did like a
1:44
Speaker 1: Kickers A Kickers on my list. I'm just gonna say
1:47
Speaker 1: that very impactful of the game. I think not even
1:50
Speaker 1: close to the best player on the team that that
1:52
Speaker 1: guy gets shoved in lockers, so name it not em
1:55
Speaker 1: close to the best player on the team, but very impactfully.
1:58
Speaker 1: You gotta have a good kicker special team. So that's
2:01
Speaker 1: what I think is how much you changed the game, all.
2:08
Speaker 4: Right, And I think I mean by you having kicker
2:11
Speaker 4: on there in special teams. You weren't there for Tuesday episode,
2:15
Speaker 4: Roustin and I talked identity. Give me I guess your
2:20
Speaker 4: take on if you were an offensive or defensive coach,
2:25
Speaker 4: or a coach at all in general, and you had
2:28
Speaker 4: to set your identity for your team, what does that
2:32
Speaker 4: consist of? For Dakota Free tags, the fighting, wacky, dacky Trojans,
2:41
Speaker 4: Trojans actually screwed that.
2:43
Speaker 1: I hate you.
2:44
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say, Lincoln Riley fan over.
2:47
Speaker 1: Here, Yes, yeah, that guy sucks. Anyway, I didn't. We
2:52
Speaker 1: are going to be the hardest training team, like to
2:57
Speaker 1: the point of we're almost we're breaking the rules, like
2:59
Speaker 1: we're just gonna have the hardst practices of all time.
3:01
Speaker 1: We are gonna hit people in the mouth. We're gonna
3:03
Speaker 1: be the toughest team. And if we come out like
3:06
Speaker 1: nebrask Things Minnesota last year. We're calling the season because
3:10
Speaker 1: that's the weakest stuff of all time. We're gonna be
3:13
Speaker 1: the hardest nosed team of all time. Now, identity is that?
3:17
Speaker 1: Like what I'm gonna call?
3:20
Speaker 3: I mean, I think what you just said's part of
3:22
Speaker 3: your identity.
3:23
Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna blitz the hell of everybody
3:25
Speaker 1: on defense.
3:26
Speaker 3: If you're Blitzer, what offensively are you?
3:29
Speaker 1: Like?
3:29
Speaker 3: What are you? What's your offense?
3:34
Speaker 1: It is for sure, I gotta have a running quarterback
3:39
Speaker 1: or one that can move like that. I've seen general
3:41
Speaker 1: all of that has just changed my mind. You've got
3:43
Speaker 1: to have a guy that can move a quarterback. So
3:45
Speaker 1: that's one thing. Offensive line is gonna be three and
3:49
Speaker 1: fifty pounds plus like those are Medpa and Yeah, we're
3:53
Speaker 1: gonna have We're gonna speed on the outside. So it's
3:56
Speaker 1: gonna be a little mix of basically just running pass
4:01
Speaker 1: all right, like fifty to fifty down the middle. All right.
4:04
Speaker 3: So then let's let's dive in here to your your
4:07
Speaker 3: top ten. I have mine.
4:09
Speaker 4: I Like I said, I'll kind of give some challenges
4:12
Speaker 4: to yours, but uh, go ahead, give me your number ten.
4:17
Speaker 1: So what what are we doing here? We like going
4:20
Speaker 1: ten ten verse ten.
4:21
Speaker 4: Am I just you're gonna give me your whole list,
4:24
Speaker 4: but you're gonna start ten. You're gonna describe why it's ten.
4:27
Speaker 4: I'll we'll talk and then I'll move to nine.
4:31
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna go. Corey Marney is my ten.
4:37
Speaker 1: I think he's the second best wider seer on the team.
4:40
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think you canna have that
4:45
Speaker 1: much impact on the game. He uh on the screen
4:49
Speaker 1: game big time. But as a wide receiver, you gotta
4:52
Speaker 1: have the quarterback throwing the ball to you, so it's
4:54
Speaker 1: gotta be good pass to you. So I don't think
4:56
Speaker 1: my receivers are that like that great, and I don't
4:59
Speaker 1: think he's the best why s on team. So that's
5:00
Speaker 1: why I means tenth.
5:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think his explosiveness and all my stuff, I'm
5:06
Speaker 4: really going back to the boom and bust. I think
5:09
Speaker 4: he's one that we've seen kind of the boom already
5:13
Speaker 4: for him. Obviously could take another step. I don't know
5:19
Speaker 4: that his floors too low, which I think is a
5:22
Speaker 4: good thing. So he's always going to be useful, but
5:25
Speaker 4: it's never gonna like really tack it up. But I
5:27
Speaker 4: do think he's impactful. Yeah, so I he is on
5:30
Speaker 4: my list, So ho about number nine?
5:33
Speaker 1: Number nine after that? And an Isaiah Hunter. I think
5:35
Speaker 1: he is the best wife. She run the team. So
5:37
Speaker 1: it's kind of like same with Barney there. If you
5:39
Speaker 1: have a quarterback, throwst he so you for you to
5:42
Speaker 1: be impactly Gonta have a good quarterback. So I think
5:45
Speaker 1: last year he surprised everybody out of all of us.
5:48
Speaker 1: I've I've rewatched on his clips. He was so explosive
5:51
Speaker 1: last year, I think, especially deep all this year at Clander,
5:56
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be great.
6:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think for for him, he also made my list.
6:05
Speaker 4: He's him and him and Jaquori. I think both of them,
6:09
Speaker 4: if whoever becomes the number one, if they're battling for
6:11
Speaker 4: that number one receiver spot, I think that's a good
6:15
Speaker 4: thing because they're both having really good good years. So
6:18
Speaker 4: uh ye for me impactful? Why for both of these
6:23
Speaker 4: guys on third and eight? You know which one of
6:27
Speaker 4: these is our go to guys? And if we have
6:29
Speaker 4: two of them, I think that even is better if
6:33
Speaker 4: it both can be good, so they can both get
6:34
Speaker 4: open and and both be go to guys on third
6:37
Speaker 4: and eight. That's really good and I think that makes
6:38
Speaker 4: them very impactful. And hopefully we're not in a whole
6:41
Speaker 4: lot of third and eighths, but you know we're gonna be.
6:43
Speaker 1: So now, do you agree that nasaiahs the number one
6:47
Speaker 1: Barney number two?
6:48
Speaker 3: I don't.
6:49
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm I think they both could be. I
6:52
Speaker 4: don't know, I don't. I don't have a clear they're
6:54
Speaker 4: they're different receivers or different type of receivers too, which
6:57
Speaker 4: I think is okay.
6:58
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't.
7:01
Speaker 4: I think he's the go to outside guy and Jaquori's
7:04
Speaker 4: maybe the go to slot kind of guy, which is
7:06
Speaker 4: good to.
7:06
Speaker 3: Have in one of each.
7:10
Speaker 1: All right, so let's move on here. I have next up,
7:17
Speaker 1: Lander Myers slash tight End Room. I've been hearing a
7:19
Speaker 1: lot which this guy is. We haven't talking about this guy.
7:22
Speaker 1: This guy's an idiot. But anyway, Scott Saderfield apparently is
7:24
Speaker 1: not happy with the tight end room outside of London.
7:27
Speaker 1: My I guess there's not much behind him. So I
7:29
Speaker 1: think I think tight ends are next on the list
7:33
Speaker 1: because they can block to not only do they pass catch,
7:36
Speaker 1: but I guess why I see there's block too, but
7:37
Speaker 1: tight ends you need more blocking to I think if
7:40
Speaker 1: Lennon amer can just stay healthy, he's dang good tight end.
7:44
Speaker 1: So I have him next plus the tight end room.
7:48
Speaker 3: Marcus Sadderfield, you said, Scott Saderfield.
7:51
Speaker 1: Marcus Saderfield, Uh, I.
7:55
Speaker 3: Think Luke is.
7:59
Speaker 4: To me, And it's similar to the receiver receivers on
8:03
Speaker 4: the receiving side of things. It all depends on how
8:08
Speaker 4: Dana uses the tight ends on the offensive side. I
8:13
Speaker 4: like that gets thrown out there every year. You know,
8:18
Speaker 4: if if we're utilizing our tight ends, Luke could go.
8:22
Speaker 4: He could become even more impactful and move way up
8:25
Speaker 4: on this list if that's part of our scheme and identity.
8:28
Speaker 4: If we don't, I think he falls and probably isn't
8:30
Speaker 4: even on it because tight ends then.
8:31
Speaker 3: Become you know, more of a blocker and and everything.
8:35
Speaker 4: So I like he's definitely our blocking tight end versus
8:39
Speaker 4: probably our receiving but he has the ability to go
8:41
Speaker 4: out and catch passes too, So like he's he's one
8:44
Speaker 4: that's hard for me. Like, he could be very impactful.
8:47
Speaker 4: I guess so if if you're going boom and bust,
8:50
Speaker 4: he probably is big in that category.
8:53
Speaker 3: But it's all on how we use him.
8:55
Speaker 1: For some for some reason too, Nebraska just has not
8:57
Speaker 1: been using the tight end in the passing game very much.
8:59
Speaker 1: And I don't get it, and.
9:00
Speaker 3: I don't think it's a Nebraska thing. I think think.
9:02
Speaker 4: I mean, look at tight ends across the board. It's
9:05
Speaker 4: just as more teams go away from the I don't
9:10
Speaker 4: know the pro style play action under center stuff, tight
9:15
Speaker 4: ends don't get used as much.
9:17
Speaker 3: Some teams still use them, but I don't know.
9:19
Speaker 4: To me, they're becoming less and less or not extinct
9:22
Speaker 4: like the fullback.
9:24
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think I think teams are starting to
9:27
Speaker 1: using more as block blocking too, Like that's big to
9:30
Speaker 1: have a good blocking tight end.
9:32
Speaker 3: Number seven for you.
9:35
Speaker 1: Let's go, so move the defense here. Andrew Marshall. He's
9:42
Speaker 1: supposed to be this lockdown form this year. Last year
9:44
Speaker 1: he was very good at corner. I think the second
9:48
Speaker 1: ary is gonna be huge this here. Now it's n
9:50
Speaker 1: as big as the next guy on here, because I
9:51
Speaker 1: think the Big ten is more of a running league.
9:53
Speaker 1: But to have a good secondary is huge. You got
9:56
Speaker 1: to be able to stop that. There was what he
9:59
Speaker 1: was at TUN two years ago. That secondary was lockdown
10:03
Speaker 1: and and they haven't had pressure on quarterback in a while,
10:05
Speaker 1: which is why next down there. But I think for
10:08
Speaker 1: him he has to lead that team. If not the
10:11
Speaker 1: sign he's gonna be a mass.
10:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, he made my list as well.
10:15
Speaker 4: He I think is our number one corner and having
10:21
Speaker 4: one of those guys, I think is pretty important for
10:24
Speaker 4: a defense. For a defense when you're playing a team
10:27
Speaker 4: that has a stut receiver.
10:29
Speaker 3: We've had moments in the past.
10:31
Speaker 1: Where you're you're.
10:34
Speaker 4: Starting, you're not you're really all American receiver on the
10:36
Speaker 4: opposite side, and doesn't have to be all American. But
10:39
Speaker 4: even for teams like Rutgers in Maryland, when they have
10:41
Speaker 4: a really good guy, the guy still tends to get
10:45
Speaker 4: his hundred yards if you have a corner that you
10:47
Speaker 4: can lock him up with, and that's part of your
10:49
Speaker 4: strategy is to you know, say, hey, one on one,
10:51
Speaker 4: we're taking our shot. And Andrew Marshall can become that guy.
10:55
Speaker 4: He becomes very, very very impactful in a positive way.
10:59
Speaker 4: If he's not to do that, he becomes irrelevant. If
11:03
Speaker 4: we don't have a corner that can do that, and
11:04
Speaker 4: then you're you're more scheming up your options on the
11:08
Speaker 4: outside so like if teams don't throw at him, I
11:13
Speaker 4: guess you could argue that's also very impactful because you're
11:15
Speaker 4: taking you're taking an option away because he's that good.
11:19
Speaker 4: So that's the other I guess angle to consider when
11:22
Speaker 4: you're talking corners and you're talking to Andrew Marshall.
11:25
Speaker 1: So number six, next guy, that's being poppful, I think,
11:31
Speaker 1: especially with his four four two five defense. I think
11:36
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be huge for him. They
11:38
Speaker 1: got to get pressure on the quarterback. Last year they
11:40
Speaker 1: had none, and that's quarterbacks had all day. They're back
11:44
Speaker 1: there freaking I slipped my mind with the iOS quarterbacks
11:47
Speaker 1: name last year. That guy should not be to light
11:49
Speaker 1: you up. But he's had all dates. So when you
11:50
Speaker 1: have all days, that's what happens to your secondary. If
11:54
Speaker 1: d Lion can't get pressure, the secondary falls apart. So
11:57
Speaker 1: that's that's why i've him next.
12:00
Speaker 4: He's pretty This guy's pretty high on my list. He's
12:05
Speaker 4: impopp is one that last year, like, I don't know,
12:07
Speaker 4: he was quiet the whole year, and I don't know
12:09
Speaker 4: if that's I don't know if that's a lack of
12:12
Speaker 4: you know, part of the three three five. I think
12:15
Speaker 4: he's very impactful in the middle, and having a guy
12:18
Speaker 4: like that, I think having a rush end is also
12:21
Speaker 4: just as important and impactful.
12:23
Speaker 3: But Van Poppo is very high on my list.
12:25
Speaker 4: He's uh, he's the one that's gonna be plugging up
12:29
Speaker 4: a lot of the runs inside hopefully uh and and
12:32
Speaker 4: have that capability if he's a bust that changes a
12:38
Speaker 4: lot of what we're going to do defensively to manufacture
12:43
Speaker 4: disruption with our pressure. So yeah, he's he's to me
12:48
Speaker 4: a very important piece of our defense and very impactful.
12:52
Speaker 1: So number five, is it kind of is back too?
12:57
Speaker 1: Is it kind of like approve it to him too
12:59
Speaker 1: on your list because like you said, last year a.
13:01
Speaker 4: Little bit, Yeah, I mean, I mean I think I
13:03
Speaker 4: think this is this is his year to step up
13:05
Speaker 4: and he knows it. Last year maybe he was a
13:06
Speaker 4: little bit who's gonna do this? This is it's this,
13:08
Speaker 4: this is his year?
13:10
Speaker 1: Mm hm. Yeah. He's a clear number one that d
13:12
Speaker 1: Line needs to step up, all right. Next Mikai Nelson's
13:16
Speaker 1: slack running back room. I don't think it matters who
13:19
Speaker 1: you have out there. Just have a guy that you
13:22
Speaker 1: know it's gonna be number one that can especially with
13:26
Speaker 1: Calander and now I think I think they're gonna have
13:29
Speaker 1: a lot of pass catching as at the renom exosition.
13:31
Speaker 1: Just a guy that can catch the freaking ball block
13:34
Speaker 1: that's another big one block and the guy that just
13:39
Speaker 1: pick up good five yards and you need it.
13:42
Speaker 3: So I'm glad you phrased it this way too.
13:45
Speaker 4: With it being the running back room, I felt a
13:50
Speaker 4: little bit it's cheating to do that because I do
13:54
Speaker 4: think that the boom, obviously is that one guy.
13:59
Speaker 3: Or multiple guys. I guess it could be multiple.
14:01
Speaker 4: Guys separates himself and becomes impactful like Emma Johnson did
14:04
Speaker 4: last year in a way that nobody really saw coming. Yeah,
14:09
Speaker 4: I I I guess I have Mosey Slash Nelson was
14:15
Speaker 4: what I put there. But I think Jamal Rules the
14:17
Speaker 4: other guy that you throw in that list, and Quentin
14:20
Speaker 4: Eves is the one that nobody's talking about. Like I
14:22
Speaker 4: think all those guys no lo no Tikey Hayes anymore.
14:27
Speaker 4: But like I think they could be very impactful in
14:31
Speaker 4: a way that if you don't have any and they're
14:36
Speaker 4: just become a committee, it's not it's not the end
14:37
Speaker 4: of the world. But if one guy really breaks out
14:42
Speaker 4: and gets developed.
14:44
Speaker 3: Like Emmett did. Man like you you now you got it.
14:48
Speaker 4: Now you've got a really good back again that you
14:50
Speaker 4: got to deal with. Adding with a mobile quarterback, with
14:53
Speaker 4: some veteran guys outside, with an experienced offensive line, your
14:56
Speaker 4: offense becomes can become pretty potent.
14:59
Speaker 1: So mm hmm. Number four for you, I've got kicker
15:04
Speaker 1: slash special teams. Like I said earlier, that can change
15:09
Speaker 1: the game so much like who gives a crapy Robbins
15:12
Speaker 1: against the twenty? That kicker's got to make that kick.
15:14
Speaker 1: There's so many, so many times Nebraska saw they've lost
15:18
Speaker 1: off special teams. It's it's not what a lot of
15:21
Speaker 1: people think about in the game, but it's huge. Go
15:23
Speaker 1: out there and make that freaking kick.
15:28
Speaker 4: Yeah. That another one that I struggled to like nail
15:33
Speaker 4: down a single player because you want to talk about
15:35
Speaker 4: impactful and luckily last year things were better.
15:39
Speaker 3: But just take a long snapper if you can't snap
15:42
Speaker 3: the ball.
15:43
Speaker 4: Yeah, that like punt and kicking whatever, that's very impactful
15:48
Speaker 4: in a negative way.
15:49
Speaker 3: Now your your reward impactful is nothing, but the bust is.
15:58
Speaker 4: So we obviously know that we shouldn't have to talk
16:01
Speaker 4: about that, but we we we've seen that.
16:02
Speaker 3: So I who would you if you.
16:06
Speaker 4: Had to pick one kicker or punter, what's which one.
16:11
Speaker 4: I'm not saying you have.
16:11
Speaker 1: To do it for your list, but oh man, it
16:16
Speaker 1: should be kicker. But man, we've sat some bad punting too,
16:19
Speaker 1: like real bad punt just off the shank. If you
16:22
Speaker 1: shank a bad pun it's horrible. I'd go kicker.
16:29
Speaker 4: Is yeah, on that list, I would agree because if
16:34
Speaker 4: you have a kicker that can make a I don't
16:36
Speaker 4: know if we do your kicker that once you get
16:39
Speaker 4: inside inside fifty you feel pretty safe that you can
16:43
Speaker 4: make a field goal.
16:44
Speaker 3: That's very impactful.
16:46
Speaker 4: From a from a strategy scheme standpoint with, you know,
16:50
Speaker 4: with potential to kick a fifty five yard and it
16:52
Speaker 4: can go in. Now we even had that in a while,
16:54
Speaker 4: But I I agree that that. I mean, that's points
16:57
Speaker 4: punting is important to you can't score off a punty.
17:02
Speaker 4: So anyways, number already at number.
17:05
Speaker 1: Four or three three, I think I've done a gootwol.
17:09
Speaker 1: It sounds like that he won the position. I think
17:15
Speaker 1: if he can stay healthy to last year. Last year,
17:17
Speaker 1: I don't think he was horrific at blocking. I mean
17:21
Speaker 1: the offensive Liman. But that guy we've heard all this
17:25
Speaker 1: type about this offensive line is so great. You know
17:27
Speaker 1: what this is done to prove it? Let's see it.
17:29
Speaker 1: They're kind of bringing a good quarterback. This guy. It's now.
17:35
Speaker 1: I don't know if you hear other things, but it
17:36
Speaker 1: sounds like he won the position for his battle. I
17:39
Speaker 1: don't so yeah, put him on there, freaking go out
17:43
Speaker 1: there and just block prove it this year.
17:46
Speaker 4: It's interesting that out of all positions, you didn't even
17:49
Speaker 4: reference the entire offensive line here, which I wasn't gonna
17:53
Speaker 4: allow that piece. Interesting, that's who the guy you picked.
17:58
Speaker 4: I guess if Gatula's breakout stud could be very impactful
18:09
Speaker 4: to me, I don't know that his bust is like
18:13
Speaker 4: very impactful. But yeah, I'll when I get to my list,
18:19
Speaker 4: I'll talk a little more about the offensive line.
18:21
Speaker 3: Number two for you.
18:23
Speaker 1: Uh, Prichard, This guy, this guy, if he just can
18:28
Speaker 1: control the stupid freaking penalties. I thought last year he
18:32
Speaker 1: was a really good blocker actually for when towards the
18:36
Speaker 1: end of the year he kind of he fixed his
18:38
Speaker 1: stupid pendeties and stuff, like we all remember the one
18:40
Speaker 1: against Cincinnati where he freaking jumped off or he did
18:43
Speaker 1: a false start on the goal line there that was stupid.
18:46
Speaker 1: But I think I think he's one of our better
18:48
Speaker 1: ones last year. So he's another year under the system.
18:51
Speaker 1: You're blocking for the quarterbacks, blank set. That's another big
18:54
Speaker 1: thing that will prevent injuries if if you do your job,
18:59
Speaker 1: so do your job pretty sure. Delete those stupid penalty
19:02
Speaker 1: which is what happened at Bama two for him, that's
19:04
Speaker 1: kind of why he didn't play there. So I think
19:07
Speaker 1: he gets older, he'll stop these freaking stupid, stupid mistakes
19:11
Speaker 1: he does, and I think he's a great blocker outside.
19:14
Speaker 4: That, I'm assuming you're talking about Elijah Pritchett Fortured.
19:22
Speaker 3: Okay, number one.
19:25
Speaker 1: A Philandria easily that's I mean, he's if he sucks,
19:32
Speaker 1: the team sucks, Like it comes down to that. We
19:34
Speaker 1: we've saw some bad quarterback players over the years, the
19:37
Speaker 1: year with Heiner Carberg and all that. Yeah, So basically,
19:40
Speaker 1: if he is another guy get rid of the stupid mistakes,
19:44
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna be actually very dynamic a quarterback.
19:47
Speaker 1: If he just gets does not throw, We're gonna see
19:50
Speaker 1: some terrible pays from me. He's a gun slayer. He's
19:52
Speaker 1: gonna throw it in tight spots. I love that he
19:54
Speaker 1: can move. Now now I saw it practice in practicing
19:57
Speaker 1: the option. That's another one where that could be just
19:59
Speaker 1: a bunch of coming out because I've saw that many years.
20:02
Speaker 1: But run that freaking option. This guy can move. He
20:05
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like he gets he's that injury brone either,
20:08
Speaker 1: So maybe they don't be so worried about him, like
20:11
Speaker 1: with Martinez Taylor or not Taylor Asian Martinez, they were
20:15
Speaker 1: just worried about him all time, running and stuff, especially
20:18
Speaker 1: at the first year. Let this guy run, he gets hurt,
20:21
Speaker 1: gets hurt. I guess I don't care.
20:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're Calandria number one. Did if you
20:29
Speaker 4: if you're asking anybody to make a list, he's probably
20:31
Speaker 4: your quarterback in general. But his your impact of the
20:34
Speaker 4: game that at that position is just it's obvious. Uh,
20:38
Speaker 4: no matter what kind of player you are and what
20:40
Speaker 4: type of player you are, it's it's very obvious.
20:42
Speaker 1: So I agree.
20:44
Speaker 4: I think we will talk obviously a lot about kalandrihood
20:47
Speaker 4: throughout the year, and he's he's you want to talk
20:50
Speaker 4: about boom and bust on on for my list. I mean,
20:54
Speaker 4: he's the definition of that from what he's done in
20:57
Speaker 4: this past stop.
20:58
Speaker 3: So I'm with the like he's my number one as well.
21:02
Speaker 1: If you don't. If your team that doesn't have him
21:03
Speaker 1: as your number one, you're in for a long year.
21:05
Speaker 4: And again, it's not just him too, it's it's it's
21:10
Speaker 4: quarterback in general.
21:11
Speaker 3: That's just the most impactful position.
21:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, quarter unless you're Iowa, which has an identity of
21:17
Speaker 4: a very unique identity that's won them a lot of
21:19
Speaker 4: games that maybe maybe Iowa is the one that you
21:21
Speaker 4: would argue is not.
21:22
Speaker 3: The most impactful.
21:23
Speaker 4: But I guess for most teams, you know, quarterbacks number one,
21:26
Speaker 4: regardless of who you are. So here's my list. I'll
21:30
Speaker 4: actually start in number one since we ended there. I
21:32
Speaker 4: have Clandry at one. I have Justin Evans at two
21:38
Speaker 4: on the offensive line, which similar to kind of what
21:40
Speaker 4: you said, I he is my only offensive lineman on
21:43
Speaker 4: this list.
21:45
Speaker 3: I just think that.
21:45
Speaker 4: Your center's your your core, it's your your leader, it's
21:50
Speaker 4: your quarterback of your offensive line. It's the guy making
21:53
Speaker 4: a lot of the calls and reads up front. And
21:56
Speaker 4: he's he's you know, the other guys are veterans too,
21:59
Speaker 4: but he's he is the veteran, Nebraska veteran, so I
22:03
Speaker 4: have him at number two.
22:05
Speaker 3: I did put Van Poppel.
22:08
Speaker 4: At three, with Wanery at four closely following, just because
22:13
Speaker 4: I think the defensive line is is very important and
22:16
Speaker 4: I think Oneery has the potential and shout out Jackson
22:20
Speaker 4: Weeks to getting me buying on this take. But he's
22:23
Speaker 4: he's the guy that if he is he if he
22:26
Speaker 4: booms and goes off this year in this in this
22:30
Speaker 4: four man front, Like you want to talk about changing
22:33
Speaker 4: a game, d MS can do that, and I'm I'm
22:37
Speaker 4: it's a little bit more of a hope impactful.
22:39
Speaker 3: But I think he has capabilities there of doing that.
22:43
Speaker 3: At five, I have the running back.
22:50
Speaker 4: Room slash whatever Mosey and Makai Nelson kind of in
22:56
Speaker 4: there together. At I have Owen Chambaliss, which is my
23:06
Speaker 4: middle linebacker quarterback of the defense. Knows the system that
23:17
Speaker 4: Rob ar just trying to run here from San Diego State.
23:20
Speaker 4: I think he's a very big piece of this and
23:23
Speaker 4: has the potential to impact. I wanted to be like
23:25
Speaker 4: a Levante David, Like that's the kind of guy I'm
23:27
Speaker 4: thinking of when I think of Owen Chambliss and if
23:30
Speaker 4: he can do that. Leavonte David was a playmaker, so
23:34
Speaker 4: I have him at six. At seven, I put our kicker,
23:41
Speaker 4: and I think that for our reason said that's a
23:47
Speaker 4: very important position can impact the game in a big way.
23:52
Speaker 3: At eight, I have Isaiah Hunter.
23:57
Speaker 4: At nine, I have I guess I and Isaiah Hunter
24:00
Speaker 4: and Jacory Barney kind of.
24:01
Speaker 1: Eight together as that receiver.
24:04
Speaker 4: Spot nine, I have Andrew Marshall as you mentioned. At ten,
24:10
Speaker 4: I have Luke Lindenmeyer as we mentioned before too. So
24:14
Speaker 4: our list has had a lot of the same pieces.
24:16
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I have the same idea as too,
24:20
Speaker 1: like where we had everybody impactful wise.
24:24
Speaker 3: First time I'm really gonna agree with you on anything.
24:28
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
24:29
Speaker 4: So last question here to end the show, Dak forget
24:32
Speaker 4: whatever we just said about our ranking, So I'm not
24:35
Speaker 4: letting you pick Flandria. You can guarantee that one other
24:40
Speaker 4: Nebraska player, any of any of the guys you mentioned,
24:43
Speaker 4: or it can be somebody I guess not in your
24:44
Speaker 4: impactful list, which would be wild, but they are first
24:48
Speaker 4: team All Big Ten because of what they did for
24:50
Speaker 4: this season.
24:52
Speaker 3: Who is that guy?
24:54
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, I would say Isaiah Hunter. I think he's
25:01
Speaker 1: gonna have a great year, Like I think him and
25:06
Speaker 1: Landy are going to be dynamic as hell, like great, great,
25:10
Speaker 1: great year.
25:14
Speaker 3: Okay, Like I I won't agree with you on that.
25:17
Speaker 4: I just I think that Isaiah and Jacori are gonna
25:20
Speaker 4: just kind of splits a lot of the stats and
25:23
Speaker 4: the production on the passing And I personally hope and
25:27
Speaker 4: I don't think that our passing game is going to
25:30
Speaker 4: be I mean, it's gonna be definitely a part of it,
25:33
Speaker 4: but I I just don't know what we're gonna put
25:35
Speaker 4: up the numbers and the production to have a guy
25:37
Speaker 4: like that. The same thing for the running backs, Like,
25:41
Speaker 4: I just don't think we're going to have like an
25:43
Speaker 4: Emma Johnson breakout either, because I think it's be more
25:46
Speaker 4: of a committee this year.
25:49
Speaker 3: My pick I and this is hope, But I'm let
25:55
Speaker 3: me just guess.
25:57
Speaker 1: Justin Evans, I.
25:59
Speaker 3: Thought about him.
26:00
Speaker 4: I thought maybe that was a cop out answer, but yeah,
26:03
Speaker 4: I'm going Riley van Poppel if he can really take that,
26:09
Speaker 4: you know, become a stud and become a big ten
26:14
Speaker 4: and I think he has he has that underlying potential.
26:17
Speaker 3: If if that can go, that can be really really good.
26:19
Speaker 4: And from the defensive side being really good along the
26:22
Speaker 4: line of scrimmage. It changes a lot more than just
26:25
Speaker 4: a number of sacks or tackles for losses. It's it's
26:28
Speaker 4: it's a big part of the game when you're in
26:30
Speaker 4: the middle of that defense on the line of scrimmage
26:33
Speaker 4: and can disrupt some things.
26:34
Speaker 3: So I guess last close here, Nebraska.
26:40
Speaker 4: I I really I don't think we need ten We
26:43
Speaker 4: don't need ten superstars, boom players, be nice, but we
26:47
Speaker 4: need we just need guys that can make plays and
26:49
Speaker 4: be difference makers I think on the field. And that's
26:51
Speaker 4: what uh you know you heard to say a lot
26:54
Speaker 4: with these impactful players. You know who has who has
26:58
Speaker 4: the ability to change what this team looks like on
27:01
Speaker 4: a given Saturday or Friday for playing on Friday night,
27:05
Speaker 4: and and those are the guys that are are why
27:08
Speaker 4: they're on this list and and have the ability to
27:11
Speaker 4: impact the game.
27:11
Speaker 3: So anything else from you, Dak, you got for us.
27:17
Speaker 1: Through We're getting closer and closer. Wait, yes we are.
27:22
Speaker 3: Tomorrow. Austin's going to lead us in a volleyball preview
