Not that anyone ever has or ever will ask me for an anonymous quote. But if I were to make one about the Huskers, I'd say something like "I just don't see how, when you've got a healthy returning starting quarterback with a winning record, you don't at least trot them out there to take the first snap of the first game."

Or maybe

"Coach Rhules secret sauce is finding people with specific speed and size for each position and then teaching the players to play that position, no matter what position that they've played in the past or think they should be playing."

Or finally,

"Did you know that polar bears are one of three animals that once they get a taste of human flesh, will actively hunt them? That's what the Nebraska defensive line is going to be like this year."

Last season we saw a defense that attacked first and second down, but had some struggles with stopping short passing game on third down. Line play showed up, and I saw an improvement on offensive line play at the end of the season. The defensive line needed more capable bodies. Jeff Simms was perfect example of the problems the old staff had. But more puzzling with these guys. His problems and his backups injuries meant the offense had few options and all were fraught with huge risk.
