Chris Williams = Nebraska

[AbEagleFan]

At least it isn't texas tech :D

[AHSeagles]

I'd rather him have stayed in state at least.:(

[Favpack]

Pellini is a great defensive coach, but, good grief.

[Warbird]

Whaaaa-?

[slorch]

best of luck in the land of Corn.

[dragonsdaddy]

I'd rather him have stayed in state at least.:(

amen. he's a stud and hopefully will rethink the decision.

[PeterGibbons]

Where would he have gone?

Texas wasn't really giving him a look.
A&M? HAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAA
Tech? Sorry but their defense is awful!
Baylor? They are still a few years away from being legit

Pellini is going to turn the defense around pretty quick, the offense may take a little more time after what Callahan did to it. I think he made the right choice, although I'd have loved to see what he could have done in the SEC.

[Rapture]

i say williams ends up in lubbock

[Shoot2thrill]

Well I am surprised at this news. I figured maybe LSU if he left the state of Texas. Well at least he stayed in the Big 12 and didn't go to the SEC.:)

[Shoot2thrill]

If you are a WR, Lubbock is a great place to play. But an LB? No way. :D

Tech defense is awful ???>> Let's see didn't Tech and Nebraska just play last week ?? Remind me on how that turned out.

Nebraska played a great game of keep away time possession but their defense was far from stellar. When left on the field like what happened against Missiouri , Nebraska may have the worst defense in the conference.

yeah, i wondered how the husks get a pass for their porosity.

Basically what happened was an awful defense (Tech) stopped an even awfuler offense. Hope that rings a bell:rolleyes:

Is awfuler a real word?

[Shokkin da wrld]

Haha Yes!!!!!!!!!! Go Big Red!

A&M would have him starting as quickly as Nebraska. So would Baylor. Both programs are turnaround stories as is Nebraska. I would have thought those two would be prime choices with the chance to possibly start as a true Frosh. At Baylor, he could possibly be in on the start of something really exciting. Heck, TCU's got an outstanding defense, why not TCU? If he had to go out of state, why not join somebody like Mizzou?

I have seen Nebraska only once this year (I think it was Mizzou-Nebraska) and they looked absolutely pathetic. Not that A&M and Baylor haven't as well, but I just don't get the connection.

Ok I will remind you how that turned out....

Tech's defense gave up 31 points, 29 first downs, 114 yds rushing, 357 yds passing, 471 yds total, 40 minutes time of possession for NU... They played great defense right...

And I know that you will say that Nebraska didnt play great defense themselves and your right.. Though other than the final score they played better than Tech did... The important thing to remember is the history of both programs... NU will eventually play better defense and Chris proly knows this... And if he goes to NU.. they will play better defense... Chris is an outstanding player and I truly believe we will see him playing on Sundays in a few years... Good luck to you Chris..;)

[MOJO94]

That sux, I sure wanted him stay in the state.

[AE 8008]

i was thinking LSU too...but braska? surely this will change once nebraska is somethin like 6-6

[lonny23]

He was probably better last year. I don't think he ever wanted to go to Tech. I'm not in favor of how he handled his recruiting, though. I won't gripe either way about Stephens between MN and Tech, but Williams rubbed a bunch of Tech fans the wrong way with the stuff he said.

?????Say what??? If anything, he has blown up more plays before they started in 7 games than he did all of last year. Let's wait until seasons end to determine if his junior year was better than his senior.;)

lets see... perhaps its the legacy of poor defense [Tech] vs a legacy of championships. Perhaps its the team that invented the phrase black shirts to describe smothering defense vs the best example of a "best defense is to score more points on offense" system in the Big 12...perhaps the country. Could be the fact they spent 50 years without a week out side the top 25... i dunno I mean I guess it is hard to understand right? Gimmie a flipping break. To use a high school comparison, they are having their Odessa Permian moment. For me, choosing Tech But would be like someone a few years ago saying a player should choose Midland High over Mojo. Of course he could always change his mind if he decides he would like to have tortillas with the occasional bleecher thrown his way. Winning championships will be found some place else. Just saying.

Go Big Red.

[ExCOOG88]

What most of you seem to be forgetting is the amount of time Williams has had to be on the field. Of course his stats were better last year, tougher district (a whole lot tougher), played the entire game. He has been pulled at half time how many times this year? How many times has he played in the 4th quarter this year? I think the Richland game will be good game to see where he stands. I would imagine he will be turned loose on the Richland offense. I would also be willing to bet he will be as unblockable and disruptive as ever.

I love the history lesson of Tech v.s. Nebraska >> Tech has now won 3 in a row against the mighty Huskers and the last game before this latest one in Lubbock Tech hung 70 points on Big Red ( 70 to 10 final).

The only issue that Tech had in the latest game with Nebraska is that they scored too fast. Those 3 and 4 play scoring drives just did not control the ball. One final point on the comparison of the defenses is what happened when it mattered was in OT > again Tech scored in 3 or 4 plays and the Huskers spit the bit and the ball in 2 plays.

Keep deluding yourself about Nebraska >> Chris Williams is now joining a program going nowhere fast >> congratulate him if you see him.

Great points Coog88.:cool:

[AbEagleFan]

the mighty Huskers.

The huskers haven't been mighty since osborn left and it looks as though it may be a very long time before they are mighty again. :D

<i know your use of the word mighty was sarcasim>

The choice is beyond mystifying. Pellini must be a great recruiter - but still? Just baffling to me - I didn't even know he visited Lincoln.

Have you seen him play this year? The kid is having a spectacular year again!!!! I would say he could be havin a better year if you can believe that. I have been to every game accept FW Paschal and saw every home game last year. I'd say he is having a better year than last year!!! In 7 games this year he has 40 tackles 11 for loss, 1 sack, 2 int, 1 fumble recovery he returned for TD, blocked 2 kicks and forced SIX fumbles.......and he hasn't seen the 4th quarter in several of those games. He has a chance to repeat as 5A Devensive MVP. Just ask some people on here who have seen him play for their opinions.

[MemorialMustangs]

Im gonna have to say hes a little overrated because hes goin to Nebraska... But if he went to Tech hed be way overrated... Now if he went to Texas A&M hed be the most underrated player in American HS football history :D

[AbEagleFan]

An updated article in the ARN. List stats, "reasons" etc...

good post, welcome to the board

Thanks. I have been around for a while, just haven't made any posts.

[AE 8008]

Thanks. I have been around for a while, just haven't made any posts.

np. a cooper grad?

[Warbird]

Husker fans I've talked to are thrilled:

Hot damn, that's a great pick up. Him and Compton will be a great duo.

and

Awesome! I hadn't been to any Huskers sites yet tonight, so this is the first I've heard of it. Great pickup.

They're gonna love him up there.

No delusions here, Nebraska is certainly rebuilding a program. But I love how you mention a history lesson, then move to the last three meetings. Why dont you finish that "history lesson." How Tech of you :rolleyes: Nebraska has more National Championships then you have wins over their program... get over it. As for my point, I love Nebraska, but that isnt the sole reason for what I say. Tech is a great place for a good offensive player to excel and a sorry choice for a person who wants to build his carrer in defense. Not just one year, or two seasons, but Tech is known for poor defense. Anyone who disputes that is either a blind follower or flat out blind. Even that should be simple and obvious enough for a Red Raider fan.

I agree. I was definitely hoping he'd end up at A&M.:D

I'm a UT fan, but I figured if he was choosing Nebraska a big part of it must be to come in and contribute immediately. That is why I mentioned several schools other than UT.

[tomlandryjrhigh]

Are there any significant differences in the entrance requirements of the schools mentioned on this thread?

are we to assume that is an issue for the all-state lb?

NM. I think I missed the point here.

Good Grief!:mad:

yes I am. I keep up with both schools now. Pull for both until they play each other.

dont make daddy have to come down there and straighten you two out

[AE 8008]

cool. i do the same, makes for a better game when they play each other

[Jayhawker]

The Blackshirts need studs like this to get back on track.

Congrats to Chris.
