BY: CON MARSHALL CSC Sports Information &nbsp; CHADRON, Neb. -- December 2, 2022 --&nbsp;The Chadron State College men's basketball team opened its Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference schedule with a rousing 83-71 victory over Colorado State-Pueblo in the Chicoine Center on Friday night.&nbsp; The win was the fourth in a row for the Eagles after they lost three narrow decisions to open the season. Coach&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/coaches/shane-paben/551">Shane Paben</a>&nbsp;was pleased with the Eagles' performance, noting that all nine who saw action provided some crucial, positive minutes. There were nine ties and 11 lead changes in the opening half before the Eagles got a layup from&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/mj-foust/8511">MJ Foust</a>&nbsp;and a three-pointer from&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/jarrett-taylor/8929">Jarrett Taylor</a>&nbsp;in the final 68 seconds to take a slim 45-41 halftime advantage. They never gave up the lead in the second half, when the margin ranged from four to 14 points. Chadron State's smallest player,&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/bryce-latimer/8513">Bryce Latimer</a>, was the game's leading scorer with 24 points, and helped seal the verdict by scoring eight points in an 80-second span late in the game. Twice, Latimer used his quickness to drive into the lane and hit short jump shots, and then made both ends of two one-and-one free throw opportunities that put the Eagles ahead 81-69 with 50 seconds remaining. The Stone Mountain, Ga., native finished seven-of-15 from the field and eight-of-nine from the free throw line.&nbsp; Two more Eagles combined for 38 points and helped the Eagles to their 42-33 rebounding advantage. Forward&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/josh-robinson/8517">Josh Robinson</a>&nbsp;was 9-of-12 on field goal shots, made both of his free throws for 20 points, and was the game's leading rebounder with 10. Guard&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/isaiah-wyatt/8518">Isaiah Wyatt</a>&nbsp;added 18 points, 15 of them in the first half, and claimed seven rebounds. As usual, senior guard&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/marcus-jefferson/4653">Marcus Jefferson</a>&nbsp;also was a major contributor.&nbsp; He scored eight points, grabbed nine rebounds and handed out six assists.&nbsp; Both Jefferson and Wyatt were credited with three steals. Offensive rebounding was one of the Eagles' strong suits.&nbsp; They had 15, resulting in 15 second-chance points. Overall, Chadron State shot 45% (31-69) from the field, while Pueblo shot 48% (29-60).&nbsp; The Eagles got nine more shots because of their 15-8 offensive rebounding advantage and the fact that they had fewer turnovers by an 8-to-13 differential. Four ThunderWolves scored in double digits.&nbsp; Sophomore guard Lian Ramiro, who tallied 37 points against the Eagles last year when CSC won 88-86 in overtime, was again his team's leading scorer with 18 points.&nbsp; Swingman Makiah Morris added 14, and senior power forwards Meekness Payne&nbsp; and Elijah Moleon, 13 and 12, respectively. Pueblo is now 2-5 for the season. &nbsp;The Eagles will host New Mexico Highlands at 6 p.m. Saturday following the women's game that tips off at 4 o'clock.&nbsp; The Cowboys defeated Colorado Christian 73-62 Friday night in Denver. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; CSU-Pueblo—Lian Ramiro 18, Makiah Morris 14, Meekness Payne 13, Elijah Moleon 12.

&nbsp; CHADRON, Neb. – December 2, 2022 –&nbsp;The Chadron State College women's basketball team rallied back from a 21-point second half deficit, trailing by only one with under three minutes to play, but came a step or two short from completing the comeback in a 75-66 win for the visiting CSU-Pueblo ThunderWolves on Friday evening in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference opener for both teams. CSC falls to 0-7 (0-1 RMAC), while CSUP improved to 4-3 (1-0 RMAC) with the win. For the third time in as many games, the Eagles opened up a multiple-possession lead in the early minutes of the first period. The ThunderWolves' offense ran through Fresno State transfer Charisse Fairley, who started the game 4-of-5 from three-point range, helping her team to a 23-18 lead after 10 minutes. The Eagles shot the long ball as well as they have all season in the first half, landing four of nine from downtown, but struggled with only a 33 percent success rate inside the arc. Meanwhile, the ThunderWolves managed a gaudy 55.6 percent from long range, and they took a 46-28 lead into the locker room. In the second half, Pueblo's shooting returned to earth, and the Eagles were able to hold turnovers to a minimum. CSC shot 48.4 percent from the field and forward&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/ashayla-powers/4644">Ashayla Powers</a>&nbsp;poured in 20 of her 25 points, on 8-of-9 field goal shooting, to help her team surge back into the game. CSC had runs of 14-4, in the second half of the third quarter, and 14-3, midway through the fourth, to virtually bottleneck the two teams at 66-65, with 2:49 to play. However the Eagles missed their last three field goals of the game, while Pueblo hit three of its last four to salt away the game. Fairley and Powers both led the way for their teams in scoring and rebounding. Fairley led Pueblo with 32 points and eight rebounds. Powers had 25 and eight. Despite only scoring once, JaNaiya Davis helped the ThunderWolves' attack with nine assists. Chadron State continues searching for its first win on Saturday, when it hosts New Mexico Highlands at a new Saturday evening home tip-off of 4 p.m.&nbsp;&nbsp;

🔊 CSC ROAD SHOW PODCAST: Cross Country HC Luke Karamitros

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Mickey Joseph, Nebraska's interim football coach for nine games after Scott Frost's firing, was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of strangulation and third-degree domestic assault.

Police went to a Lincoln residence in the afternoon after a report of a domestic disturbance. Following an investigation, the 54-year-old Joseph was arrested at another location. He was being held at Lancaster Country Jail.

“While the Lincoln Police Department does not normally provide a news release for a domestic-related arrest, due to the high-profile nature of the person involved and, in an effort, to provide transparency on an arrest involving a public figure, notification of the arrest is being made,” police said in a statement.

Matt Rhule was introduced as the Cornhuskers' head coach Monday. Athletic director Trev Alberts had said he spoke with Joseph about the job before Rhule's hiring.

Rhule had not announced whether Joseph would be retained on his staff. Rhule declined comment through an athletic department spokesman Wednesday night.

Joseph was a quarterback for the Cornhuskers from 1988-91 and had run-ins with police during his playing days.

He was arrested in September 1990 on suspicion of criminal mischief for allegedly breaking an exterior window and damaging an inner window while trying to enter his girlfriend’s apartment. According to police reports, the girlfriend’s roommate told officers there had been a domestic dispute going on for several hours before the incident occurred. No charges were filed in that case because of uncooperative witnesses.

Joseph also was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in Lincoln in 1989 and suspended for one game.

Joseph's 25-year coaching career has taken him to all levels of the college game. Rivals.com named him one of the nation's top 25 recruiters in 2019, and he developed four receivers selected in the first two rounds of the NFL draft in five years at LSU.

He returned to Nebraska last December as receivers coach and was named interim head coach Sept. 11 after Alberts fired Frost. The Huskers were 3-6 under Joseph and finished the season 4-8.

“I was made aware of the charges against Coach Joseph and given the nature of the allegations and based on University policy he has been placed on administrative leave," Alberts said in a statement. "We will have no additional comment at this time.”

Joseph had said at his first news conference as interim coach that he wanted the job full-time. He extended scholarship offers to several prospects during his 10 weeks on the job, and he vowed in September to leave the program in better shape than he found it.

“We’re going to do the job the right way,” he said. “We’re not going to sabotage the place.”

When asked Monday by The Associated Press how Joseph reacted when told Rhule would be hired, Alberts said, “He took it really good.”

Alberts did not answer directly Monday when asked if Joseph were a serious candidate. Alberts has repeatedly lauded Joseph for creating positive energy around the team and motivating players to play hard.

“Mickey's an outstanding coach, and he's obviously got a huge and bright future in the business, and we'll see whether it continues here,” Alberts said Monday. “Coach Rhule wants to sit down with him. I have so much respect for Mickey Joseph and what he's done for our program, and our players do as well.”

 </figure>LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Mickey Joseph, Nebraska's interim football coach for nine games after Scott Frost's firing, was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of strangulation and third-degree domestic assault.Police went to a Lincoln residence in the afternoon after a report of a domestic disturbance. Following an investigation, the 54-year-old Joseph was arrested at another location. He was being held at Lancaster Country Jail.“While the Lincoln Police Department does not normally provide a news release for a domestic-related arrest, due to the high-profile nature of the person involved and, in an effort, to provide transparency on an arrest involving a public figure, notification of the arrest is being made,” police said in a statement.Further details weren't released.Matt Rhule was introduced as the Cornhuskers' head coach Monday. Athletic director Trev Alberts had said he spoke with Joseph about the job before Rhule's hiring.Rhule had not announced whether Joseph would be retained on his staff. Rhule declined comment through an athletic department spokesman Wednesday night.Joseph was a quarterback for the Cornhuskers from 1988-91 and had run-ins with police during his playing days.He was arrested in September 1990 on suspicion of criminal mischief for allegedly breaking an exterior window and damaging an inner window while trying to enter his girlfriend’s apartment. According to police reports, the girlfriend’s roommate told officers there had been a domestic dispute going on for several hours before the incident occurred. No charges were filed in that case because of uncooperative witnesses.Joseph also was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in Lincoln in 1989 and suspended for one game.Joseph's 25-year coaching career has taken him to all levels of the college game. Rivals.com named him one of the nation's top 25 recruiters in 2019, and he developed four receivers selected in the first two rounds of the NFL draft in five years at LSU.He returned to Nebraska last December as receivers coach and was named interim head coach Sept. 11 after Alberts fired Frost. The Huskers were 3-6 under Joseph and finished the season 4-8.“I was made aware of the charges against Coach Joseph and given the nature of the allegations and based on University policy he has been placed on administrative leave," Alberts said in a statement. "We will have no additional comment at this time.”Joseph had said at his first news conference as interim coach that he wanted the job full-time. He extended scholarship offers to several prospects during his 10 weeks on the job, and he vowed in September to leave the program in better shape than he found it.“We’re going to do the job the right way,” he said. “We’re not going to sabotage the place.”When asked Monday by The Associated Press how Joseph reacted when told Rhule would be hired, Alberts said, “He took it really good.”Alberts did not answer directly Monday when asked if Joseph were a serious candidate. Alberts has repeatedly lauded Joseph for creating positive energy around the team and motivating players to play hard.“Mickey's an outstanding coach, and he's obviously got a huge and bright future in the business, and we'll see whether it continues here,” Alberts said Monday. “Coach Rhule wants to sit down with him.

&nbsp;A pair of Nebraska football offensive playmakers received All-Big Ten honors on Wednesday for their effort in the 2022 season. Receiver&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/sports/football/roster/trey-palmer/43934">Trey Palmer</a>&nbsp;was a second-team All-Big Ten pick by the Big Ten media, and a third-team selection by the league coaches, while running back&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/sports/football/roster/anthony-grant/43930">Anthony Grant</a>&nbsp;was an honorable-mention choice on both teams.

&nbsp;Three Nebraska football defensive standouts received All-Big Ten honors for their outstanding play in 2022. The league office announced the honorees on Tuesday morning, while offensive selections will be recognized on Wednesday.

Augustana cruises by Eagles Sunday, 71-33

&nbsp; SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – November 27, 2022 –&nbsp;The Chadron State College women's basketball team, for the second consecutive night, ran out to a significant lead early. However, the Eagles couldn't hang onto their advantage until halftime, taking a non-conference loss on Sunday afternoon at the Augustana University Vikings in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, by a score of 71-33. Augustana didn't get on the board until 5:38, as Chadron State opened up with a 10-0 lead. The Vikings' first points came on a three-point play by Jennifer Aadland. That started a 12-0 run for the home team. CSC's&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/ashayla-powers/4644">Ashayla Powers</a>&nbsp;took the lead back for her team by sinking a three with 10 seconds left in the first period. The Vikings took back the lead for good in the second. A layup by Powers at 8:08 gave her team its last lead, at 16-15, but CSC only managed one other bucket in the half, as AU took a 27-17 halftime lead. CSC had a scoring drought in the second half. It ended a nine-minute scoreless streak at four minutes left in the third quarter, and in the fourth it got its last points at 7:16 remaining. Meanwhile AU shot 18-of-30 in the final 20 minutes. Foul shots were barely a factor in the game. CSC fouled only eight times, with three shooting fouls, while AU fouled 13 times and only one was on a field goal try. Both teams reached the double bonus in the first period, however the only time it happened again was when the Vikings committed their last penalty in the game, with 5:16 remaining. Shooting made up the biggest difference on Sunday afternoon. The Vikings hit 29 of their 66 shots, while the Eagles went 14-of-59. AU also had five more three-pointers. The Eagles had a one-rebound advantage on the offensive glass, however the Vikings took the defensive category by eight to finish with a 43-36 lead overall. Augustana was led by Aadland, with 16 points, seven rebounds, and Aislin Duffy, with 10 points, nine boards, and five assists. Chadron State got 10 points, three caroms from Powers, while Kadyn Comer led the team with seven rebounds. The Vikings improved to 8-0 with the win. They are 1-0 in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference. The Eagles fell to 0-6 overall. Conference play begins Friday, December 2, against CSU-Pueblo in the Chicoine Center in Chadron. New Mexico Highlands visits on Saturday.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Raiders scored the first bucket in the game, but the Eagles scored the next eight, to go up 8-2 at 6:45 in the first. Northwestern battled back, however to tie it at 8-8.

Eagles win pair in Texas over Thanksgiving weekend

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Sam Darnold has been waiting more than 10 months for another chance to prove he can lead the Carolina Panthers.

It finally came on Sunday, and he made the most of it.

Darnold threw for a touchdown and recovered his own fumble for another score in his first game since Jan. 9, helping the Panthers beat the Denver Broncos 23-10 and keep their modest playoff hopes alive heading into a bye week. Carolina (4-8) is last in the woeful NFC South but only 1 1/2 games behind division-leading Tampa Bay.

Darnold completed 11 of 19 passes for 164 yards without a turnover in his first game since losing the starting job to Baker Mayfield in training camp and then suffering a high ankle sprain in the preseason. He's the third QB to start this season for the Panthers, joining Mayfield and P.J. Walker.

“Once I got my feet wet out there and threw my first completion I felt like it was smooth sailing, especially given the way we were running the football," Darnold said.

The Panthers finished with 185 yards on the ground, getting 113 on 24 carries from D'Onta Foreman — his fourth 100-yard rushing performance in the last six games. That allowed Carolina to use the play-action pass effectively, and Darnold hooked up four times with D.J. Moore for 103 yards, including a 5-yard touchdown.

Darnold, who regained the starting job after Mayfield was benched, refused to say he took any vindication from the victory.

“It truly isn't about me,” Darnold said. “There are so many guys that have a hand in this. ... I would be silly to sit up here and take all of the credit. It was truly a team effort.”

Panthers interim coach Steve Wilks said he liked Darnold's ability to manage the game and take check-down opportunities.

“I loved how he was able to get outside of the pocket and try to win with his feet and still have his eyes down the field to execute,” Wilks said.

Carolina's defense limited Russell Wilson to 19 of 35 passing for 142 yards and sacked him three times, sending the Broncos (3-8) to their seventh loss in eight games. Pro Bowl defensive end Brian Burns had two sacks of Wilson, including a forced fumble, and he tipped a pass at the line of scrimmage to end another drive.

Denver came in with the worst scoring offense in the league and didn’t find the end zone until a 1-yard TD pass by Wilson with 3:24 left in the game, a performance sure to turn up the heat even more on embattled first-year coach Nathaniel Hackett.

Denver's frustration was evident in the fourth quarter when Wilson and defensive lineman Mike Purcell exchanged words on the sideline.

“Mike and I are on the same page," Wilson said. “He came off after they kicked a field goal and he was (upset). He was like, ‘We’ve got to go.’ So me and him are on the same page. There’s no animosity at all. We’ve got to win and have some grit to us and some mentality to us and win some football games.”

The Panthers led 10-3 when Darnold drove the Panthers to the Broncos' doorstep and scored an unusual touchdown midway through the third quarter.

After faking a handoff from the 2, Darnold made a move toward the end zone and was stripped of the ball. But the QB alertly picked up the ball and then rolled into the end zone untouched for a 17-3 lead.

“That is someone who is in tune to the situation and understands the rules of the game,” Wilks said. “He was quick to get on the ball and then realize no one touched him.”

The Panthers put the game away early in the fourth quarter when Darnold hit Moore in stride on a 52-yard bomb along the right sideline, setting up a 26-yard field goal by Eddy Pineiro to make it a three-possession game.

“We felt like we could really run by these guys,” Wilks said. “As good of a secondary as they have, sometimes they sit and squat on things. So it was good to see that.”

Hackett was asked about his job security but mostly sidestepped the question.

“We all have high expectations. We want to win every football game. We all have to get better across the board. And that starts with me,” he said

The Broncos came into the game having scored a league-low 34 points in the third quarter and did not score Sunday. Hackett said the team scripted its third-quarter plays in hopes of remedying the issue.

“That didn’t work well,” Hackett said. “We’ve got to find better ones.”

The Broncos and Panthers came in as the league’s worst two teams at converting third downs and nothing changed there. Carolina was 2 of 12 on third down and Denver was 4 of 14.

Broncos: LB Dakota Allen injured his hamstring.

Panthers: S Xavier Woods left with a knee injury.

Panthers: After a bye, visit Seattle on Dec. 11.

 </figure>CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Sam Darnold has been waiting more than 10 months for another chance to prove he can lead the Carolina Panthers.It finally came on Sunday, and he made the most of it.Darnold threw for a touchdown and recovered his own fumble for another score in his first game since Jan. 9, helping the Panthers beat the Denver Broncos 23-10 and keep their modest playoff hopes alive heading into a bye week. Carolina (4-8) is last in the woeful NFC South but only 1 1/2 games behind division-leading Tampa Bay.Darnold completed 11 of 19 passes for 164 yards without a turnover in his first game since losing the starting job to Baker Mayfield in training camp and then suffering a high ankle sprain in the preseason. He's the third QB to start this season for the Panthers, joining Mayfield and P.J. Walker.“Once I got my feet wet out there and threw my first completion I felt like it was smooth sailing, especially given the way we were running the football," Darnold said.The Panthers finished with 185 yards on the ground, getting 113 on 24 carries from D'Onta Foreman — his fourth 100-yard rushing performance in the last six games.

Another dud from Broncos offense in 23-10 loss at Carolina

A proven program builder in college football,&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/matt-rhule/8455">Matt Rhule</a>&nbsp;has been hired as Nebraska's Head Football Coach.&nbsp;Nebraska Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/trev-alberts/8452">Trev Alberts</a>&nbsp;will introduce Rhule as the 31st&nbsp;permanent head coach in Nebraska history on Monday in Lincoln.

The 47-year-old Rhule has built an impressive coaching resume over the past 25 seasons with experience at both the collegiate and professional levels. Rhule has served as a head coach for the past 10 years, including seven seasons in the collegiate ranks and the past three seasons in the NFL with the Carolina Panthers.

Alberts said Rhule's success as the head coach at Temple and Baylor provides evidence of Rhule's ability to build a program and made him an ideal fit at Nebraska.

"It is a privilege to welcome Coach&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/matt-rhule/8455">Matt Rhule</a>, his wife Julie, and their family to Nebraska," Alberts said. "Coach Rhule has created a winning culture throughout his coaching career, and he will provide great leadership for the young men in our football program. Matt is detail-oriented, his teams are disciplined and play a physical brand of football. Matt also has the personality and relationship-building skills to build a great staff and excel in recruiting."

Rhule said it is an honor to lead the Nebraska program and join the Lincoln community. He is excited to return to the college game and the opportunity to coach in the Big Ten Conference.&nbsp;

"It is a tremendous honor to be chosen to lead the Nebraska Football program," Rhule said. "When you think of great, tradition-rich programs in college football Nebraska is right at the top of the list.&nbsp; The fan base is second to none, and I consider it a privilege to have the opportunity to coach in Memorial Stadium on Tom Osborne Field. My family and I are so grateful to become a part of the Husker Family, and we can't wait to get started."

Rhule turned around programs at both Temple and Baylor during his seven seasons as a college head coach. In four seasons at Temple, Rhule guided the Owls to 28 victories, including 26 over his final three seasons from 2014 to 2016. After posting two wins in his first season, Temple posted a 6-6 record in 2014, setting the stage for the best back-to-back seasons in school history.

Temple posted a 10-4 record in 2015, were ranked as high as No. 22 in the Associated Press Poll and reached the American Athletic Conference's inaugural championship game. In 2016, Rhule led the Owls to a 10-3 record and an AAC championship. The conference title was the first in 49 seasons for the Temple program, and Temple reached bowl games in consecutive seasons for the first time in school history.

His success at Temple led Rhule to be named Baylor's head coach beginning with the 2017 season.&nbsp; After one win in his first season, the Bears posted a 7-6 record a made a trip to the Texas Bowl in Rhule's second year.

In his final season in Waco in 2019, Rhule guided Baylor to an 11-3 record, an appearance in the Big 12 Championship Game and a Sugar Bowl berth. Rhule was named the 2019 Big 12 Coach of the Year and he became the first Power Five Coach to take a team from 11 losses to 11 wins within two seasons.

Rhule's collegiate success provided him the opportunity to take over as the Carolina Panthers head coach in 2020. Rhule guided the Panthers to five wins in each of his first two seasons and coached Carolina for five games in 2022.

Prior to his head coaching positions, Rhule had an impressive 15-year run as an assistant coach with stops at Albright College, Buffalo, UCLA, Western Carolina and Temple in college and the New York Giants in the NFL.

A native of New York City, Rhule played linebacker at Penn State from 1994 to 1997, where he earned his undergraduate degree. He also holds a master's degree from Buffalo. Rhule and his wife Julie have three children, Bryant, Vivienne and Leona.

Nebraska has signed Rhule to an eight-year contract. Additional contract details will be made available at Monday's press conference. &nbsp;

Matt Rhule named new Cornhusker Football Coach

DENVER (AP) — Whether Pete Carroll meant it as a barb for Russell 
Wilson or a bouquet for Geno Smith, the Seattle Seahawks coach made 
play-calling wristbands a hot topic in the NFL during a topsy-turvy 
season that has rattled the longstanding quarterback order.

Carroll
 was talking about the Seahawks’ surprising success in 2022 after moving
 on from Wilson when he mentioned Smith’s willingness to wear a 
wristband to help facilitate Seattle's play-calling.

“If you 
notice, Geno’s going off the wristband, and that’s a big help,” Carroll 
told Seattle Sports 710 AM earlier this month. “It’s smoothed things 
out, sped things up. And that’s part of it, too. We never did that 
before. There was resistance to that. So, we didn’t do that before.”

Wilson retorted with his own <a href="https://apnews.com/article/jacksonville-jaguars-denver-broncos-seattle-seahawks-nfl-sports-612de661c6102546d755e3cd732c2927">subtle dig</a>,
 reminding that he "won a lot of games there without one on the wrist. 
And I didn’t know winning or losing mattered if you wore the wristband 
or not.”

Coincidentally, Wilson wore a wristband for the first 
time with the Broncos in a win over the Jaguars in London two days 
before Carroll's comments, and he's been using it at games and practices
 ever since as the Broncos try to jump-start a sputtering offense.

He even wore it at the podium on Wednesday.

“Yeah, I guess I'm rocking this wristband here,” Wilson said with a chuckle.

On
 any weekend, roughly two-thirds of NFL quarterbacks are rocking the 
wristbands. Tom Brady has used one his whole career. But some QBs and 
coaches prefer memorization skills for their more complex plays.

The
 bands that hug the quarterback's non-throwing wrist and forearm contain
 dozens of plays with corresponding numbers or codes. They are often as 
much a benefit to the play-caller as to the QB because he can just call 
out a simple number rather than the entire play sequence with all its 
protections, checks and other nuances.

“As a play designer 
sometimes you want to get a little creative and those things can get a 
little bit verbose,” Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said.

Calling
 out a number and not the entire play sequence saves a few ticks before 
the quarterback's earpiece shuts off with 15 seconds left on the play 
clock. The QB can then relay the play and break the huddle quicker, 
getting up to the line of scrimmage with a few extra seconds to survey 
the defense for any necessary adjustments.

Hackett said the 
wristbands especially come in handy on the road and are particularly 
helpful with the game's ever more complex play calls.

“It's just how offenses have advanced,” Hackett said. “... we're getting more elaborate with our play designs."

Not
 all plays on the coaches' call sheets are listed on the quarterbacks' 
wristbands. They're often limited to those complex calls or to red-zone 
plays that are installed later in the week, which means players have had
 less time to practice them.

Some QBs, such as the Titans' Ryan Tannehill, have tried them but don't wear them all the time like Brady does.

“Last
 year when we went to Seattle I wore one” because of the din at Lumen 
Field, Tannehill said. “Not too many times. I like to be able to hear 
the call and visualize it in my head as it comes in. It just helps me 
build the picture of what’s going on. When I hear it and I have to build
 the picture of the play in my head, it helps me communicate with my 
guys as opposed to reading a line on a wristband.”

Vikings QB Kirk
 Cousins doesn't usually wear a wristband, and that has something to do 
with Rams coach Sean McVay, who was Cousins' offensive coordinator in 
Washington from 2014-16.

Cousins recalled telling McVay, “These plays are long, and I could use a wristband.”

"Sean
 would say, ‘I don’t look down at the call sheet to call the play to see
 what the wristband number is. I just call the game from my head,’” 
Cousins recounted. “So, he said, ‘We can’t do that because I’d have to 
go find the play and then give you the number.’ I learned with Sean that
 I’m just going to have to memorize these plays and I don’t have the 
luxury of a wristband.”

“There’s so many different ways to do it 
and I think there’s positives and negatives to every different way,” 
Cousins said. “There’s times where I like having a fair amount of words 
because you can paint the picture better, but there’s other times where 
you’re calling two to three plays and it can just be a lot. With a 
motion, a shift, an alert and you have the play clock, so there’s a lot 
going on.”

Cousins said he picked up a trick from backup Nick Mullens when he was digesting the Vikings' new offense this summer.

“I
 was really struggling late in August and early September of really 
getting to a place where I could spit the plays out with just total 
ownership,” Cousins said. He recalled Mullens telling him, “I just 
record the tricky plays on my phone and instead of listening to music or
 the radio on the drive to and from work, I'll just listen to the play 
calls.”

“I started doing that and my drives are a little more 
boring," Cousins said, “but I find myself getting home to the garage and
 I feel a little better about the game plan and my command of the game 
plan.”

&nbsp; CHADRON, Neb. -- November 22, 2022 --&nbsp;After breaking a 4-4 tie, the Chadron State College men's basketball team led all the away while defeating Nebraska-Kearney 91-72 Tuesday night in the Chicoine Center in Chadron. The win was the first for the Eagles after they had lost three close contests, one of them in overtime and another by one point on a last-second shot.&nbsp; Kearney is now 2-4. The Eagles led by as many as 13 points in the first half, but were ahead by only 42-37 at halftime. Chadron State owned a 54-43 margin with 4 ½ minutes into the second half, but Kearney trailed by only 58-54 midway in the half after its leading scorer, Darrian Nebeker, put together an old-fashioned three-point play. Chadron State then broke the game open by going 5-of-5 from three-point range in a 2 ½-minute span.&nbsp; Pat McClachlen hit the first triple, Isaiah Wyatt made the second and fifth treys and&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/marcus-jefferson/4653">Marcus Jefferson</a>&nbsp;and Jarrett Taylor each nailed one in between. The spree put the Eagles ahead 73-60.&nbsp; They led by at least that margin the rest of the way. CSC Coach&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/coaches/shane-paben/551">Shane Paben</a>&nbsp;was pleased with his team's performance. He said the Eagles executed the offense well, used their quickness to play good defense and rebounded extra well.&nbsp; Kearney claimed just four offensive rebounds. Wyatt was CSC's leading scorer with 21 points on six-of-nine field goal shooting, including three-of-four from three-point range, and six-of-six at the free throw line.&nbsp; Diminutive Bryce Latimer tallied 17 points, MJ Foust scored 11, Josh Robinson 10, McLachlan nine, both Jefferson and Porter Anderson eight and Taylor seven. Robinson was the Eagles' top rebounder with nine while Taylor and Jefferson each handed out six assists. Chadron State's team stats were impressive. The Eagles shot exactly 50% from the field in both halves, going 16-of-32 in the first half and 18-of-36 in the second.&nbsp; They were 11-of-19 from behind the arc and 12-of-14 at the charity stripe. They outrebounded the Lopers 41-25 and committed just six turnovers. Kearney also shot well overall from the field, going 30-of-61, but were just seven-of-23 from long range and went to the free throw line only seven times, making five. Nebeker, a 6-6 super senior, finished with 24 points and 11 rebounds for game-high honors in both categories. Sean Evans added 14 points, Winston Cook 10 and Matt Brien nine and three others five apiece. The Eagles will conclude their non-conference schedule this weekend by participating in the Permian Basin Thanksgiving Classic at Odessa, Texas. Their opponents will be Jarvis Christian College of of Hawkins, Texas, on Friday and Ecclesia College of Springdale, Ark., on Saturday. Both games will tip off at 1 p.m. Mountain time.
