Live updates: Nebraska football hosts Colorado in primetime Share Copy Link Copy

Yeah, I don't know if that's true, but I believe it because coach maternal used to say it to us all the time. And so, um, I think the reason you, you feel that way is because you have finally *** chance to see yourself play somebody else and once you played somebody else, you see how you react, you see, you know, and then you can kind of go back and, you know, um, look at it right. I think, you know, anytime you play like *** team, you, you, you play them last year and you play them this year, you go back and watch that game, you know, most times and see you don't see. So, yeah, I think, I think you make *** big jump. II, I think we made *** jump this week. Um, I think we were able to look at the game and see the things from last week that we didn't do. Well. Um, look at some players and see what their natural strengths are. We came out of the game healthy and, you know, you start stacking days, right. You'll be three G and pads this week to really get some work done. So, um, I think we're just, you know, we're getting *** little bit better every day. I know you're excited about the night environment. But what's the key to having, keep guys from bouncing off the walls all day? Um, for *** night game? Yeah, it's just *** slow burn. Like, you know, you, they, they won't, they won't, I mean, they won't, we, we, we, we bring them over here if they want, you know, they come over here during the day, I'll come over here and I'll, I don't know, I don't know if you can see, I work out but I'll do, I'll do something just to burn off energy, I'll walk or something and, uh, you know, I'll get around, get around the guys, but we, um, we, uh, we have the opportunity to watch some games. It's so much harder when you have *** Thursday or Friday night game because you're watching, you know, the general hospital, you know, on Saturday, you can watch some games and the biggest thing you have to worry about is not getting too emotionally invested in the game. It's not your game, you know. Um, but yeah, I mean, we're gonna play *** lot of night games, you know, I think we're, we're gonna be *** team that, you know, people want to have on national TV, prime time games. So, hopefully eventually. So, um, we gotta get used to it. So, but we'll come over here scatter some meals, give them some free time and then when the time comes, be ready to go, uh, you know. Yeah, I mean, there's still *** lot of it by play so it's really, you know, I don't even know how sad and I haven't seen, sat in the offensive staff's openers yet. So, you know, it could be, it could be really any of the guys that started. But, but, you know, Ramir, you know, the first time we go out, throw down Rami will take those snaps. And, um, yeah, so I think it'll be pretty close to the same. It's just, I don't know how exactly the game will start, to be honest with you for, for some of the guys who weren't ready for you, they ready to go for the, they're all up. It's sort of the same formula at kicker as you had the first week. Uh, uh, I think Tristan would be the kicker, you know, um, I think, uh, you know, there's probably *** spot maybe we ho we could use ho, but I think we feel really good about where Tristan is at right now. And, uh, you know, John, once he settled down in the game, you know, kicked off the second two kicks, you know, he kicked him with, you know, over 44, 2nd hang time, you know, kicked the ball through the end zone. So, um, but, uh, yeah, Tristan's are, are field kicker as the future schedules sit right now. There isn't another game on the books between Nebraska and Colorado moving forward. What do you hope for this? Right. I, I have no, I have no thoughts on that honestly. Um, yeah, I, I think none of us really know what the world's gonna be like here soon. And, um, until all the conferences have the same, we all play the same amount of conference games. You know, as I've said to you before, if they would have said to me last year, like, hey, we're gonna schedule UCL *** and US C of the non con and the same year I'd have thrown *** fit. Well, here they are. So, um yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't know that Troy, that know how to Troy will handle all those things. I'm, I'm kind of just very much at the moment. I do think this is great we're playing, but I don't, I don't know what will happen with the, you know, the, all the, all the stuff on this game. What's the message to the players when it comes to like, just keeping composure on the field? Just uh yeah, I mean, it's the same message we have all the time. I mean, you know, to me when we play, you know, we're worried about us um try to play one snap in time. I mean, you know, if you, if you come to practice or if you listen to something, I say on cha three, it's pretty much always the same thing, right? You know, play, play together, play one snap at *** time, get ready to go compete. So, um, you know, if we play differently because of who we're playing, then we're not really who we say we are. We, we, we play to our standard and sometimes we don't get to our standard. But the goal this week is to play to our standard and um TV, cameras and eyeballs watching shouldn't affect that. I'm sure it does in human nature. You hope, but we don't want it to. And so we're just trying to, we're trying to, you know, I showed them the Bud Crawford Errol Spence fight this week and you see just the way, you know, Terrence, you know, Crawford goes out there to fight, you know, and just the way he's, he's just so stoic and stone faced, methodical and, you know, he, he walked, he just keeps that jab when he walks in, he takes *** punch, counter, punch, punch, counterpunch and just, it's not *** lot of emotion and ra ra *** lot of flash. He's even ding up, he's even ding up Spence after the seventh round when he knocked him down for the second time. You know, I mean, like he just respects his opponent, but he's, he's just closing the distance, bide his time and then the ninth, you know, he attacked and so, um, that picture of what that great, you know, *** great boxer who was obviously local, but *** great boxer looks like that to me is what *** great football team looks like. It's not emotional, it's not swinging from side to side. It's just very methodical and stoic and stone faced. And so, um, yes, I hope we play that way. You know, there'll be some young guys, I'm sure they'll get lost *** little bit in the moment. But, um but I also want us to enjoy this, you know, I also want us to enjoy this, you know, we're, we're obviously having this opportunity because of Colorado and what they bring. Um But our fans are here because of us and so we'll play for our fans and we'll play for our families, we'll play for each other and play for the State of Nebraska and all the Husker fans out there and see what happens. Some of the crowd. Um I would say, I would say they were mainly road games. I've never, I've never coached in this environment before, right? So as *** home environment, like we didn't have that at Temple. We had *** great environment at bay, but not this. And we didn't have it in Carolina. First year was COVID and it was just *** different. So I've never had that NFL stadiums, as I've said, are different. But, you know, I'd say when I was at, I'd say when I was at Temple going to Penn State, I mean, Penn State is really, really loud, you know, it's steel stadium. I mean, even *** double, your thing hasn't worked. Um, in, in the American, honestly going to UCF was like that cause they're another steel stadium that just reverberates. But I'd say the pro, the loudest place I've probably ever been would be, um, would probably be, uh, Penn State. Is there anything new on Javen? Right. Yeah, it's funny you said that we got *** really positive update on him today. So, um you know, things are trending in the right direction for him to come back at some point and sooner than later. So, you know, but again, there's *** lot of steps that have to happen, so I don't want to put the cart before the horse, but um he's battling and um um doing everything right. So we got *** really good report. I literally literally this morning. So um I, I got *** little pep in my step for him. So pretty cool. You see, like when the defense huddles up to go out, he always goes out with them. So, you know, it's, it's, it's like, hey, I can't be out there. So like, you know, I'm out there in spirit. That was pretty cool dance coach guys. We could have done this via text guys. You could just text me *** whole car. Not good.
