liveing like on Rosie.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Okay, shout out any revelations from yesterday's news conference. We'll
get to the travel plans in a minute, But any revelation.
Did you hear anything that surprised you yesterday from the coach?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Yeah, I mean they're gonna leave early for this trip,
which we were just talking about this gym. I mean,
I don't know if they've ever left on a Thursday.
You know, we've covered a lot of games in Oregon
and Washington and California over the years. They've never played
a regular season game really in Florida somewhere far away.
But this will be an interesting deal. They're going to
(00:39):
leave Thursday. They've been home for forty three days when
they get on the plane and play this game. So
this trip will be unique. Two straight road games. Next
week is a short week. This week obviously a regular week,
but the team will leave Lincoln to get out to
Maryland Thursday and then hold kind of a walk through
a full day out in Maryland on a Friday.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, you know, it was a very hackneyed explanation. He
talked about how Washington got in there one thirty in
the morning. It's probably because they left at four o'clock
in the afternoon in Seattle is it's a four hour
flight and it's a three hour time change. But if
Nebraska leaves at ten o'clock in the morning or eleven
o'clock in the morning, they're they're in Maryland at two
(01:21):
thirty local time, and it takes an hour hour fifteen
max to get to Bethesda, Maryland from BWI Airport. And
if they want to do a walk through, there's any
number of high schools between the airport and Bethesda. If
they're staying in Bethesda, which is northward DC and College
a bigger pardon not as close to DC College Park is.
It's closer to Baltimore is Bethesda. So you know, I mean,
(01:46):
I whatever, but please don't talk to us about financial problems.
If you're going to spend an extra day on a
road trip that doesn't seem to It's not like they're
going to Alaska, all right, something like that, or Hawaii.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I just think this is their first true road game
of the year, and it's a unique two week stretch here,
and I just think he wants his team's mind to
be right getting out there. But yeah, it's it's never
been done before that I can recall. You know, obviously
Bowl games and Ireland trips are different. I mean this
is for a regular season game. Now, when Pete Carroll
(02:20):
and you remember this gym, you drew all the fans
to Omaha West Side on Friday when USC played in
Lincoln and seven the Trojans flew in and stayed at
the Regency Marriott on Thursday, and then they held a
walk through on Friday at Phelps Field, and you told
all of Omaha and her sports cast to attend. And
Pete Carroll and Lane Kiffin and Steve Sarkisian are not
(02:40):
happy men that day.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
No, they weren't too happy when I was drawing a
crowd out there autograph Reggie Bush and all those dudes.
The truth of the matter is that if they want
to do a walk through out there, just say, hey,
we want to get out there. We want to have
a morning walk through at some high school, just like
they did at USC. But you know, I think the
kids should be in school. I think they should be
(03:02):
in class. I mean, there is that component, and it's
all so expensive to travel an extra day, but you know,
apparently again it's not the acute financial crisis at Nebraska
that other schools are enduring these days. Deshaun Singleton is
the Big Ten Conference defensive Player of the week. He
is rising. He and McCullough are having all Big Ten years.
(03:24):
Would you not agree?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, you know, both those guys have have played at
a high, high level. Williams when Narry continues to rise
up as well, but joll Singleton almost had the scoop
and score touchdown. They call back, But he's what you
would have hoped, and I think that's why he wanted
to come back an extra year. And I think what
they've done mccola, the way they've evolved them almost kind
(03:47):
of into a Demorial Williams role that we saw Nebraska
utilize Williams in back and way back when showing our
age here, you know, two thousand and three as an
edge guy on top of being a linebacker, a top
of guy that can plains. You know, he's been what
they've paid for too when they brought him in as
a transfer player. And I think John Butler deserves a
(04:09):
lot of credit for the growth he's done with some
of these guys and got them ready over the bye
week and just some of the adjustments he made as
well with the scheme.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Well, they are playing well, they are going up against
a better quarterback.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I don't know that Aiden Childs was at his best
in the Nebraska game. I think that head injury he
suffered early in the game affected him, especially when you
consider the effectiveness of the backup. But this guy here,
Malik Washington, has been ridiculously good, especially throwing the long ball.
They have people, and I think this is going to
(04:46):
be hard to stop, especially at home if he gets
into a rhythm.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah, and Washington's different. He's not a runner and Maryland
doesn't run the ball well as a team, so I
do think the challenge will be different this week. He
is a true pocket guy. You know, he's only had
a handful of runs all year in his long run
and a power four game is only four yards, so
you don't have to worry about him taking off and
(05:12):
you know, doing Evns young type run here on Saturday,
like what we've seen was source Bey and child and
even Underwood. So I do think it's a better matchup.
He's a big six foot five, two hundred and thirty
target and John Butler can can get after he and
tell when there get after this guy, don't worry about
a running you're faster and he is, so that excites me.
But they are not a run team at all. They
(05:34):
have come nowhere close this year to having a one
hundred yard rusher in any of their games.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
So that matches up well with the bra strength on strength,
weakness on weakness, Sean. This shapes up is kind of
a low scoring game, doesn't it. Now. The over will
probably be in the thirties.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Their pass rush is good. I mean, they have a
lot of athletes on that defense, and it's the front four.
They don't blitz that much. They're not a big blitz team.
It's their front four that gets most of the pressure.
So that will be a huge challenge for Nebraska.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I think it's going to be a rock fight. I
think you're gonna see punches landed here and there. I
see them making big plays. I see Nebraska making big plays.
This could be I think a thirty five thirty one deal.
It could be a thirty eight to thirty five deal,
could be a seventeen fourteen. Well, it could be if
they turn it over. But these are big play offenses,
(06:25):
they really.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
