VectorVictor Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Today I learned: The Nebraska blueprint for football still works and is a winning formula. That Langsdorf needs to be fired ASAP for this season to be salvageable. His second-half playcalling was atrocious, and he went away from the run and had Lee chuck the ball around. What's that stat about when Nebraska passes 40+ times? Our WRs failed to help Lee out. Yes, Wisky was physical, but that means our WRs need to step their game up. Lee actually improved. That Pick 6 was really on Langsdorf and his craptacular playcalling in the red zone, and Lee didn't make mistakes that hurt us otherwise. Yes, our defense didn't step up in the second half. But AT LEAST 50% of the blame is because the offense fell on its face in the second half and our defense was left on the field for WAY too long. We have the best fans, bar none. That stadium looked and sounded EXCELLENT! Too bad Riley and 'DORF couldn't help put a product on the field worthy of the fans' effort. 3 Quote Link to comment

PaulCrewe Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Nothing But at least NU has a coach that smiles when leaving the field 2 Quote Link to comment
BartonHusker Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 We didn't play Rutgers or Illinois tonight. Wisconsin is a real "powerful" team. They have done exactly what they have always done against us as of late... run it right down our throats! Wisconsin plays a physical style of football we once did ourselves. 1 Quote Link to comment

captain_sasquatch Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 It is incredibly depressing watch Nebraska have no answer for what Nebraska used to be the master of. 1 Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I learned we are getting better in some areas but we got exposed in others No moral victory here. We played better at times but again, inconsistent. I think this team has talent but youth and inexperience combined with subpar coaching leads to inconsistent play. I think we get a winning season still, but it won't be enough to save Riley. Luckily if we can get the right guy and keep the recruiting class intact I think we could be pretty solid next year, we have young talent. Quote Link to comment
husker_fan_from_sweden Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 My buddy at work who is an Oregon fan could not believe that we hired Riley in the first place. I learned that Riley is now a marked man for proving three years in a row he will always be a career .500 coach and lose the games that actually matter. It's time to turn the page in Husker football.

The Murphinator Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Our tackling is pathetic. Kalu just dives at the running back hoping to tackle him. On the offensive side, the receivers need to step up and make plays for Lee. The receivers have problems with drops, and fumbles. Quote Link to comment
In the Deed the Glory Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I learned that I felt like if I squinted it was 1989 Nebraska finishing a conference game off leaning on the offensive line and running backs. I learned that I really miss watching an offensive line just dominate a fourth quarter. I learned that I am numb to 3 TD losses, and that shouldn't be that way. 2 Quote Link to comment
