East/West - West Practice notes/Video. Running backs in NFL have to be able to pass protect and catch the ball.
@TheDevineOzigbo
showed he could be valuable in all aspects of NFL backs. According to scouts he’s had outstanding practices showing he’s a complete back.
@Huskers
Thanks to Coach Osborne for going End Zone to End Zone with us. I've admired him for many years and he has always been very gracious with his time with us at BTN. Join us for Tailgate tomorrow 9ct at Haymarket.

@HuskerFBNation
I thought Neb was over rated picking them to win West & it was just sign of the confidence people have in
@coach_frost
Based on how they've improved physically & QB depth theres lots of reasons 2 pick them Some "Sights & Sounds"todays practice
Update on Ben Miles After his appeal he has been declared eligible immediately. Thank you NCAA for looking @ his case & coming to a reasonable conclusion.He did nothing wrong Now continue 2 review the rule & change it 2 benefit the student-athlete ahead of the schools and coaches

@dh_simba7
for sitting with us for Film Session for BTN Tailgate this Saturday in Indianapolis. His knowledge of the OSU offense is more than impressive.
The argument about
@OhioStateFB
playing Iowa as opposed to going to Indy to play Northwestern is just as good misses the point that the OSU players miss an opportunity to play for a championship.The next snap is never guaranteed. OSU players earned right to play 4 championship
Of the 144 underclassmen who entered the draft 44 weren’t drafted. I hope some day the rule will allow them to come back and finish their eligibility. Why not?
Nebraska joined the B1G 7 years ago today bringing a great athletic tradition to B1G. Nebraska has a great football past and has all the resources to have a great football future. It will prove to be a great addition to the B1G. Coach Osborne explains how and why it happened
Thinking about UNC shoe issue. Schools gives athletes shoes with limitations can't sell them. So after u give them the shoes who owns them? U own something but you cant sell it? Maybe don't give something 2 ath that they aren't allowed to sell or let them live like the rest of us
Thanks to Mary Ferentz for going End to Zone to End to Zone with me. Mary started Iowa Ladies Football Academy

Really confident team,
talented young players helping with depth. Could be headed into another 10 Year War (1969-1978)type of competition with their rival. Don’t see either program dominating the series.
Tomorrow we breakdown Saturday's

Devine Ozigbo's 60 yard touchdown run on "State Farm's Here to Explain the Play" and show one of the reasons Nebraska's Spread is one of the most if not the most diverse in the B1G

Preseason Talk

@HuskerFBNation
Nebraska is tied for 6th in all time wins in CF but 3rd in the B1G behind Michigan & OSU. Coach Osborne won 84% of his games. The 4 coaches that followed him have won 75% 55% 71% 50% What should the expectation be for a Nebraska football coach?
If he is in good academic standing why shouldn't he be eligible right away? - what has he done wrong? He now he has the opportunity to go to Neb. He would rather be at Nebraska - whats wrong with that? Who suffers if he is eligible immediately? Outdated rule - Change it.
A week from today Early National Signing Day.

ranked one in the West right now with 22 commits - They are ranked 22-24 by the 3 rankings. Their previous 5 year average ranking has been 43.

@BadgerFootball
practice. No hype this year just what looks like a really good football team. Last year they didn't look like they would meet expectations this year they look like they will exceed expectations. More fun without the hype.
BTN Bus Tour - Trying to rate the facilities in the East looking at academic centers, meeting rooms, weight rooms, practice fields, indoor, training table. Hard to pick the best out of MSU, PSU, OSU, UM. PSU definitely best academic center.
Iowa Ladies Football Academy has donated 2.1 million dollars in 8 yrs to the Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital.This has been done with the leadership of Mary Ferentz & her dedicated group of volunteers.The Academy is this Sat not to late to register & or contribute.

@TheIowaHawkeyes
3 of our stops Wisconsin, Nebraska, Iowa - I can't say I'm buying into the thinking that Wisconsin has separated itself from the other two all that much - West will be wild this year and we haven't been to Northwestern and Purdue yet.

@GopherFootball
Outstanding growth of roster in just 3 years of recruiting especially at the line of scrimmage (especially on defense) much like a others season may come down to QB play to compliment program growth. "Sights & Sounds" from yesterday's practice
I've been traveling since B1G Media Days and just seeing this. I agree & thank
@CoachJim4UM
for sharing his opinion that will not be popular with a lot of fans & most coaches.I also believe this is best for Football Student Athletes especially since SA's of other sports can do it
Thanks to the great Lloyd Carr for going End Zone to End Zone with us. A great friend for 39 years.
@UMichFootball
BTN Tailgate tomorrow from AA 10 et.
Back to the offseason project finishing cookbook
Lets add some Simple Meatballs to last weeks Simple Marinara Sauce
Ingredients
1 pound ground meat 80/20
2 eggs
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
1 cup parmesan cheese
1 to 4 tablespoon water
1 Tablespoon of olive oil
72 oz. of Marinara
KH - yes to generalize is absolutely unfair - the reason the players have changed is because the adults have changed even more because of the money. The nowadays student-athlete in my opinion is to be admired - they deal with more than any of us ever had to.
Just wanted to clarify some of my comments from earlier today. Of course some players love the game the same today as ever. But some don’t. I’ll always love the players of this game and sorry if people thought I generalized or lumped them all into one category.
You can play great Defense at Nebraska without calling the unit "Blackshirts" My point is that what you call your defense is up to the present coach not a previous coach - thats what I mean when I say maybe stop calling them
#Blackshirts
I don’t believe either Martell or Fields r quitters or disloyal student-ath but believe they are just looking for a path to success.If you believe they are we disagree other than that why shouldn’t they b able to transfer & be eligible immediately?Give me a reason.Change the rule
Thanks for all the suggestions for “Here to Explain the Play”. It’s actually going to be two

@HawkeyeFootball
Looked like what is predicted. Strong defense, a run game that will develop during camp and continue to develop during the season and an offense that needs major improvement in the pass game.
If you look on the left side of you screen you’ll see a Spartan helmet. He’s my favorite guy of the day. 100 miles an hour great energy, enthusiasm and what looks like a love of the game. David Dowell
