Gates said Cavanaugh has been riding the linemen all summer, encouraging Gates to clean up some of the technique issues — like posture and hand placement — that led to his struggles in the bowl game against Tennessee.
“He’s picked up a lot on us since last year,” Gates said. “Last year he was kind of laid-back. He expected a lot out of us but he wasn’t on us like he is now. He definitely comes out and expects a lot more energy and we run to the ball. Langs says either 4 yards for 200 yards so we either run up to the ball at the line of scrimmage or we’re going to take a lap around the field.”
As the linemen have grown, so has their relationship with Cavanaugh.
“I think that we’ve adjusted pretty well,” Gates said. “He knows what guys he can get on real hard and which guys he can’t, what guys he can tell what to fix and what guys he has to keep on … He expects a lot of us but he takes care of us too.”
With Gates as the cornerstone of the line and players like Jaimes waiting in the wings, the left tackle position at Nebraska looks to be in good hands.
Let's kick this pig in the ass

That's a lot or ribs
Do bread lines still exist?
I know everyone is on Cav but he does have a good cadre of linemen in the pros
Hard to coach up a team with no back ups, this is going to be a great year for intra squad competition!
It's time to quit beating up on each other. Go Big Red
Nebraska doesn't play until 2 September, but if you are a College football junky, remember the season actually starts next Saturday with 4 games to include Stanford vs Rice Down Under in Sydney. 2 more weeks until DONU plays Go Big Red
