southernoregonhusker Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Nobody is going to hire away Diaco any time soon. Everybody relax. It's one game. It's one college football game and the vast majority of us are older than the players. We have other things to really worry about. Kids. Jobs. Significant others. Perspective 4 Quote Link to comment

alwayshusking Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Good news is we didn't give Oregon anything on film. Bad news is they are very confident going into next week. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Good news is the season is under way and we're 1-0 heading up to Eugene. That's a pretty cool field, and we'll be wearing our home uni's... Welcome back, college football 2 Quote Link to comment
HuskerPowerVA Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 The good news is Oregon might have their third string offense in the game by the 4th quarter so they might not put up more than 70 on us. 3 Quote Link to comment
Huskerfan55 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 5-7 is very possible, something needs to change or Oregon runs up and down the field ( I think they are better then Arkansas State). Tre Brant looked good, Tanner Lee is not all that! Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 People seem to have overlooked that ASU isn't a cupcake--they typically play good teams close, and they've got quite a few skill position kids that are SEC/ACC transfers. This wasn't going to be an easy game to open with. 1 Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 ASU was a great test. Contrary to some thoughts, they are a very good team, even if in the Sunbelt. I wouldn't be quick to dismiss our performance as an anomaly. They were not the type of team to go "vanilla" on. I've thought for years that was always our plan. Don' show anything until we had to..... Did anyone think at any point we had that game in control? Any point we could continue to play "vanilla" and be ok? We gave up a safety, punt return TD, lost and onside kick and almost gave up 500 yards.....Weplayed last night as that's what we are in game one. Had we had something exotic or a way to counter we would have. Teams don't hold back. Maybe a "trick" play or wrinkle here and there, but the brain trust we have in coaching is not going to continue to use some milk toast defense in its first real game. Games, even per Diaco, is when you see what you have. Cav was the happiest guy in Huskerland seeing that show Diaco put on. Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 maybe it was a vanilla base defense, but wouldn't it be nice to have your coach explain that and calm the waters a bit? Maybe the only flavor is vanilla. And at what point do you push the oh crap button and open it up a bit to save the game? I don't know if it's good timing to wait until its 43-36 with a minute left . And the offense didn't help that situation but that is a different thread. 1 Quote Link to comment
