***Official Ohio State Game Discussion Thread***

During the week leading up to this game this was the first time I did not expect the Huskers to be competitive. I think a lot of Husker fans so far aren't impressed by the product in year 3 MR is putting out.

Interference?  Man that was the first tackle all night

[Mavric]

Maybe we thought this week was our bye week.

 

Honest mistake.

[Waldo]

Hoping they really pile it on. I want Riley back in Oregon by Monday night.

First Quarter Impressions

• Ohio State has the more talented roster, but the real reason they are making this look easy is because they are WELL-COACHED.
• Nick Gates is going to have a long night. This will remind him of last year's bowl game versus Tennessee.
• Nebraska is soft on both sides of the ball. Don't even worry about watching the skill positions. Just focus a series or two on the trenches. We are overmatched.
• The Cornhusker offense has ZERO identity.

 

PREDICTION: The stadium will be half empty by the second half.

Bootle is really good at doing that.  Geez.

14-0 is better than I was expecting for the first quarter.

No balloon release until scrub time in the 4th quarter....

What percent of fans start leaving in the 3rd quarter?

1/2 should be gone by halftime.

Ok, who forgot to put the laxative-laced Runzas in tOSU locker room!

Maybe that is why the OSU players are running so fast?

Meyer looks like he is down 2 TD's.  MR looks like he is up by 2 TD's.

[HuskerNation1]

This is the best I have seen JT Barrett look.

We expected we'd probably lose by a large margin, but we always hope our team will at least make it a game rather than a practice for the other team.  As it stands, we are an elementary school team compared to OSU and many other teams in our conference.

Good thing my three friends came to watch with me, Jim, Jack, and Johnnie.

Game is going about as expecteds.   Sadly we are just a LONG way from being relevant in the Big Ten race and a light year from being in the national title hunt.   

 

Blame Riley all you want but we are so far behind the top level programs in talent it is not even debatable.  How many of our starters could even earn letters at Ohio State, except playing in the latter minutes of blow out wins.  Seriously?    Spiehlman maybe.  Anybody else?   DPE?  maybe if he weren't afraid.  

 

We may not stop them all game long really.   It is not even a contest talent wise.   This is simply not a Riley loss - this loss can be blamed fairly on the the coaches and administration at NU over the past 20 years.   They ALL have taken turns trashing our program.
