Bo Pelini did not elaborate on the reason for dismissing Dixon. The depth of the defensive line is thin to begin with now we have to wait and see who will step up during fall camp.
Marlon Lucky looks bigger and stronger. He and Helu pushed each other during their summer work outs. Both are looking forward to an offense that is committed to running the ball. Helu made a significant statement towards the end indicating that the team is looking forward to beating up on teams, they want to be tougher. Kind of rings a bell from the past, doesn’t it?
Zac Potter stated that everyone has slimmed down and is in better condition this year. Marlon Lucky said that the O-line is more explosive this year. And Joe Ganz admitted that the team needed to have a good fall camp and a couple of wins to shake last year’s disaster. He was honest in the fact that it won’t just go away that they are going to have to work hard and win a couple of games to forget the past and gain confidence.
I found it hard to believe that Bo hadn’t watched any tape from last year, but could anyone really blame him? I don’t really have an opinion one way or the other on this, I just found it interesting.
