Fumbles have been issue for #Huskers. OC Tim Beck thinks shorter practices will reduce fatigue. Beck also won't add plays as season goes on.

Beck says #Huskers have had 1 fumble dating to last spring. Happened last Saturday in botched exchange between Armstrong and Abdullah.

Bo Pelini has shortened practices. Full workouts now typically are 1;45. They were about 2:15 last year. #Huskers

GERRY DINARDO
BTN Bus Tour #Huskers Another team built from the LOS out. DL is in conversation as one of the best in the B1G this year.

BTN Bus Tour #Huskers Offensive line deep, talented has to continue to develop. They have to do a lot of different things in this offense.

BTN Bus Tour #Gophers 2013 Minn rush O ranked 8th in B1G play improving to 6 is more important than improving the pass game. Both is best

BTN Bus Tour #Huskers Running backs obviously deep -1 play by Terrell Newby showed his burst and skill and we know what AA & I. Cross can do

BTN Bus Tour #Huskers Toughest decision to make is how to use TA in run game. Always a challenge with a run threat at QB. How much pass?

BTN Bus Tour #Huskers Last yr on 1st & 10 they were over 70% run but if its divided up between TB/QB how much more do u have to throw it?

BTN Bus Tour #Huskers Season = toughest schedule of West contenders, need to finalize O Run/Pass ratio, TO ratio, eliminate big plays on Def
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 18, 2014
BTN Bus Tour #Huskers Talented team that practice in full pads in the high heat at a very good tempo BP has them perfect 4 this late in camp

DAVE REVSINE
At #Huskers practice. D Line is as physically imposing as any we've seen on tour – and we've seen some good ones
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 18, 2014
Standard "1 drill, 1 day" disclaimer – but 1st DB's look like Mitchell, Rose at CB, Cooper, Gerry at S
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 18, 2014
1 drill – but Price, Moudy lined up w 1's on right side of OL
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 18, 2014
Small sample – but pass gm still leaves a bit to be desired for #Huskers – accuracy has been an issue a few times today for Armstrong
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 18, 2014
Asked Bo Pelini how he has seen Tommy Armstrong mature. He said the biggest jump has been in how he bounces back from mistakes.
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 18, 2014
One point to make on the passing attack today at #Huskers practice -they were working on a lot of 2nd & 3rd & long. Not easy for any offense
