Would agree. Think as we get Daly back, Krahe and Ahrens will be seeing less time, and the reps will be split between Grebe, Taylor, and Daly. I think a 3-linebacker rotation is plenty. With Krahe and Ahrens seeing reps in less close games, which I'm thinking will be a good number of games. Lots of depth this year. Also worth noting that that full linebacker room could all be back next year. With Daly having another year possible next yr if he decides, Taylor and Grebe with two more after this year.BelligerentBobcat wrote: ↑Wed Oct 08, 2025 6:27 pmLike the above poster said, probably Ahrens and Krahe see less reps, and I’d guess that Grebe and Daily split their reps so that Taylor can play more.

Re: Injury Updates
I'm not doing it to be a big meany. I just think people want to spell another person's name correctly. So, I'm not scolding, just trying to be helpful. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Perhaps I should use a disclaimer?

Re: Injury Updates
Should be if you want to take time to look it up, fix spell check, or whatever. It's a message board. Tom should get it right in his articles and even he has typos at times. us hacks are just having fun. And that kid hasn't played at home yet this year so I guess the jersey hasn't helped.D-Wreck wrote: ↑Thu Oct 09, 2025 3:05 pmPlus it's on the back of the jersey now.

Daily looked great despite wearing a large wrap on arm/shoulder. He had the biggest hit of the day in the 3rd quarter smoking the ISU RB for a loss.

Was there any known reason as to why Julius Davis didn’t play at all in the second half?

Guessing they would have been very careful with even a minor tweak given the score of the game.
