QB David Blough had the “or” removed from his name on the depth chart, so he’s the starter this week against Nebraska following back-to-back strong performances. One thing he has to work on is getting rid of the football. He was sacked five times against Boston College, and not all were solely the result of protection breakdowns. Against a Nebraska team that has had success rushing the passer, he’ll need to make quick decisions and avoid negative plays.
Rondale Moore – Noteworthy
WR Rondale Moore won the Big Ten Freshman of the Week award for the second time in four weeks, following his eight catches for 110 yards against Boston College. He’s no longer a secret, but teams still can’t figure out how to slow him down. Moreover, as opponents devote more attention to Moore it opens things up elsewhere in the offense.
