1. Anything can happen on opening day with a new coach and system... 2. BYU has won opening games to good programs in the past. Just ask Oklahoma and Sam Bradford.... 3. Tysom Hill. He is similar to T-Mart. He could be very explosive if given room to run. Ask Texas. I may live in Utah, but I am a HUSKER and can't wait for this game!

Geraldo Boru Brew

Most concerned about the away game at Miami.

Visitor

BYU in my # 2 team..... I know them well...So.Miss will be much easier

Ronald D. Bull

First Game questions will start to be answered about new defense and well the offense will be able to score against a highly respected team.

Tom Caniglia

Tough team

Gene Baker

BYU is a much better team.

Danny Baker

They can light it up in the air.

Mark Plotner

x2 on Miami. I really don't think either of these games should be close if we have our act together. And I'm counting on the new coaching staff to make that happen

Does the fact that this question even exists bother anyone else?

Samuel Browning

Kenneth Rhylander

This is a dumb question. Suh has the contract. Someone thinks he is worth it, or they wouldn't pay. Question unecesary.

Kurt Brunken

Given he is a beast AND demands double teams, he should earn 2X of the average DT.

Brett Blanchfield

He's Suhper!

Rizeabuv Yorzelf

He has the raw, physical talent to justify that, but NO if he can not shutdown his Personal Foul problems and play smarter.

Bart Burroughs

by the very definition of worth. an athlete is "Worth" what someone is willing to pay. If Miami is willing to pay 118 Million over 6 years for Suh than by definition he is worth it. You may not like it, but he is technically worth it.

Bob Lines

He's proven over and over he's worth it.

Stephen Johnson

Based upon hi impact on the game and fan involvement.

Patrick Ryan

QB and DT are the most valuable positions in the NFL - he's among the best.

Paul Bulling

Yes he is worth what someone is willing to pay him

Ron Bauer

Why shouldn't he be? Of all the Pro linemen I've seen last year, Mr. Suh has them all been in every category of defensive skills, strength and endurance.

Dana Davis

You have to put with his antics sometimes but I feel he is one of the very best in the league.

No NFL player is "worth" this kind of money, especially 60 M guaranteed...

no one is. He just got some of his what would have been good teammates put on the chopping block. Glad to see he getting money but you can tell Superbowl is not on his mind.

Keith Petrie

Exactly...NO football player is worth the money they're paid!

Robert Lloyd

Not something anyone should make. People can't feed their families and this guy makes this? We have lost focus on life.

Stacy A Rodenbaugh

No one is worth that kind of money for playing a game.

Zach Akin

Suh is a beast but getting two good tackles for less money could pay off and mitigate risks of injury etc. Miami needs a QB.

Plantman Nursery

I think most are over paid

Danny Baker

He plays to dirty. Too many fines and suspensions.

Joel Lebsack

Elite pro athletes are making obscene amounts of money. No one is worth that salary.

Because all of the players will get more reps.

dougnorman

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.

Ronald Sondergaard

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

Danny Baker

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.

Daniel Conner

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

Visitor

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.

Billie Mann

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

Visitor

Makes sense to maximize practices. Efficient practices makes efficient games.

Visitor

Good review and competion

Darrell Wood

Players need reps and coaching and this will give it to them. More buy in more motivation.

John H. Schafer

Great way to give ALL players meaningful reps

Giordani Mendoza Fitton

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

Mark Rasmussen

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.
