I think the secondary will be most improved. they will have enough players this year to do what Wilcox wants to do with those guys. if DL can provide some push, they will be exceptional, assuming all are here.

I just said the same in another thread so yes. If Janzen comes back the secondary could give them a run. Unfortunately I think the D as a unit could make it hard for the secondary to shine, especially LB play. Where as the offensive weapons could help make the o-line shine.

Edit: promise I was posting at the same time and not plagiarizing LWS, lol

the new is that Jackson is at mercy of the school administration. I was under impression that JJ was staying out of school to work on his "personal issues". Learned this week though, or at least it appears, it isn't his call if he is returning. He has to be readmitted to school.

Reading between the lines that tells me he was suspended from school this semester. With that suspension comes a list of to do's to be readmitted. That is why CDD keeps saying it is day to day and it is up to JJ.

No way to really know until he applies for readmission as to if he will be back or not.

and with that, off to a doctors appointment. :)

A lot of articles in the spring were talking about how overall the strength level of our O Line just wasn't where it needed to be last year and we of course had no depth. The strength improved throughout the spring and hopefully they will be hitting the weights hard this summer with an extra year of experience and a little depth from the freshmen they definitely should be improved. Probably another year away from being a dominant line though.

When you are starting underclassmen, particularly freshmen, subpar strength levels are simply a given for offensive linemen. There is no substitute for experience and time spent in the weight room for development of the "big uglies." The most dominant offensive lines I ever saw were Nebraska units when it was commonplace for them to start fifth-year seniors.

I think the o line will be significantly improved and most improved group on the team. We will be fine in the secondary with or without Janzen. He's a great player but has had many mental lapses in games. Our secondary will be beasts in a yr or so as will our o line. Lane and Neal will have alot of holes to run through next year.

The secondary will be most improved.

The O Line will be the strongest unit on the team.

By 2012 we will have one of the top OL's in the nation. Top 3 and it will not be under dispute.

I hate your name, but I love almost every one of your posts..

If our O Line is this good and opens up the lanes for our RB's than this years offense will be more fun to watch then sex

Did you watch our two bowl games against them in the 90's? Or their game against Florida? The overall strength of their program was "steroidic".

Of course, I saw all of those games. The fact that Florida did not drop farther in the polls than they did, after that mauling, was an absolute travesty. The strongest, most physically dominant college football teams that I have ever seen were all Nebraska teams. Matching Miami’s and FSU’s speed in the 1980s and early 1990s was another story. Nevertheless, the Cornhuskers dominated the SEC in postseason play for more than a quarter of a century. From 1969-2000, Nebraska was undefeated (11-0) against representatives of our conference. Nebraska has historically had the reputation of having one of the best strength training programs in the country. If you guys have incontrovertible proof that steroid use at Nebraska was significantly more commonplace than other elite programs, I would certainly be interested in seeing it.

its great debating which unit will be most improved rather than which unit is of sec caliber! I agree with both oline and secondary but would like to throw in fullback and Wr.

Losing Jackson would be a huge blow to the secondary.

I hope I'm wrong but I kinda anticipate a sophomore slump from Bray. Nothing would male me happier than to be proven wrong though

Disagree. If Janzen Jackson doesn't come back our secondary will be worse than last year. Also special teams... did anybody notice he made just about every tackle on punt coverage. He's an elite athlete and without him our defense will suffer. Let's just hope he comes back.

Too many unknowns about the secondary at this time, though it looks promising, we would like to think.

Right now, OL is most improved unit on team.

I couldn't disagree more..JJ is a great athlete and talent..but in no way would our secondary be worse than last year..everybody else is back and we haven't had a db haul in a class like this one in a long time..actually, I can't remember a bigger/better one.
