Because all of the players will get more reps.

just makes sense from a coaching aspect. you can't watch that many players at one time and have them show you what they've got.

only makes sense., to get a close look at the players....he also stated that it would only be for part of spring practice

I think it is a great way of getting everyone practicing and not just standing around watching. The coaches get a better chance of developing players.

Again, each plaayer will get a better chance to be seen by the coaching staff. This is how walk-ons get noticed.

Not sure if it matters if we like it or not...he is the coach. With that said, I do like the his reasoning behind it.

I thought Osborne run a format where he would have multiple stations similar to what Riley is trying to do

I remember when Coach Osborne took over as AD, and watched one of Bill Callahan's practices. He said, he saw a bunch of guys just standing around just watching. Hint hint Bill, that's not good. No surprise he fired Callahan.

There is not one D 1 program who has tried this and was successful. It makes coaches do too much after hours evaluation to the point that they are just remember big highlights on players instead of the whole body of work. Additionally the questions on these polls are very weak, I actually get angry each time you have one posted

I don't see why they don't use the same basic practice routine as Osborne did. NE has many more players at practice than virtually anyone else due to our walk on program. No one "stood around" much at Osborne's practices. He has made the point in his books that the large number of players due to walkons was a significant advantage in that they could have multiple stations going at the same time. By splitting up into Team Red and Team white a bunch of starters are not going to get any practice time with the other starters that they will actually be on the field with this fall.

Considering that roughly 90 teams would be "tough" for Nebraska these days, I think you have to schedule tough teams. There wouldn't be a lot to choose from otherwise. Those lower level cupcakes are being scheduled by other teams too.

The NFL has a pre season and nebraska should look at it like that. Get the players ready for the season. Conference play. Its a good way to build depth and get experience. They play toigh enough teams in the Big10 not to have to play them outside of the Conference.

Roy makes a valid point below. I also want to add that until the SEC goes to 9 conference games AND the selection committee starts putting more weight into the strength of schedule, we should keep scheduling cupcakes for non-conference games.

Nebraska needs time to develop game ready players before heading into the big ten.
