Rewind: Key for Huskers now is what they do with a little dopamine and a lot of good teaching tape | Football



“(Quarterbacks coach Mario Verduzco) does a great job of mixing in different drills during the week, and one of those things is moving within the pocket and finding space to throw the ball,” Martinez said. “It’s a fine line, knowing when to take off and knowing when to maneuver and make a throw downfield.” 

Under ideal circumstances, paying Fordham $500,000 to come to Lincoln has immediate, intermediate and long-range benefits for Nebraska.

On Saturday, the Huskers got the immediate: a win and a ton of players on the field.

In the long run, that experience for backups and young guys can pay developmental dividends.

The intermediate, in this case, is maybe the most interesting. Frost has talked about momentum and “wind under the wings” for quite a while. Nebraska in 2020 didn’t handle success well when it found a little bit. Whether it’s Saturday against Buffalo, Sept. 26 against Michigan State or sometime else this fall, the real benefit of beating up Fordham will be realized or lost by what Nebraska does with the dopamine and all that good teaching tape.

“We had such a good camp and going into that first game, we had high hopes,” Frost said. “And I think that the kids really believe how much progress they’ve made and how much better of a team they are. Then Game 1 didn’t go the way we wanted it to, but that doesn’t change the progress that we’ve made.”
