There are some great football minds on this Forum and reading these comments and just looking at some the analysis, I can actually "feel" myself getting smarter!!! Even more so than when I sleep with an Encyclopedia under my pillow! Which, trust me, is saying a lot! Welp, on my way to the chiropractor again...got this crazy crick in my neck. See ya!

Nonsense. I have it on good authority that it's always the coach's fault. Of course, I'm sure they didn't coach them to line up well enough. And this is why this process that has involved Coach Power'T and some others here has been such an eye opener!!! I am speaking to the process of taking the game film, trimming it down and analyzing Exactly what is going on, on the field and seperating that from what is going on in my (and maybe yours too) head! Because let's be honest, when you let the game set for a day or two, you see it differently...am I right? And if you're like me, you see it MMMUUUCCCHHHHHH different after a day or two. I too have been making these snap judgments during games and/or shortly after and for what?!?! What is the logical explanation for being so cynical/critical during the game and shortly after on Social Media and Forums across the Cornhusker Landscape??? Honestly, I gotta say, it's -------> Emotion. When I watch the Huskers play, I get fired up and I have this vision of how good I want my team to be, how good I think they should be NOW, how good I think they will be and a complete blindness to the fact that they are in a (should I dare say it???) process! *Insert Pelini's voice here* "I see some good things out there, some things not so good", but...and I am not exagerrating here, the more I trimmed this game film down, the more I saw the excellent play of the team as a whole. Seriously! Were there some mistakes made? Yes we are not dumb. Were there some missed tackles? Of course! Was there some EXCELLENT play on both sides of the ball that your naked eye missed during live action? You betch yer eyesight there was! What perhaps impressed me the most, and I've said this somewhere on this thread, is that visualizing the offensive/defensive minds that have drawn up this plays (and not at random) and placed them into a comlete package is astounding!!!

This is top notch analysis IMO. Bravo!!! This is great for those of us that want to be students of the game, learn more visually about the defensive/offensive minds behind the methods we see on the field and (my personal favorite) identifying who is performing NOW and who is showing positional improvement week-in and week-out. I would like to continue to trim the film, if we have any one else out there with related technical experience, maybe we could do something semi-organized...it's up to you guys. If this is working well and you don't want to fix something that's not broke, I'll do my best to keep posting the trimmed version and you can do what you will with it. I hope to get faster at trimming it down so I can get it out by Tuesday or by some miracle Monday Night. Everybody is busy though! Our high school season is over after tomorrow night so I will have more free time to watch film on Nebraska. I'm actually excited. I'll be watching more film today looking for some more things that did well, and things we didn't do so well (head scratchers). I have actually been working on the first half of this game and I'm almost done. Not saying I know what I'm talking about or good at analysis, but this will be my first attempt at it. It will not be the quality that you provided, however, it has been fun but it takes SOOO much time.

I did it again this week. I would should have uploaded this a day ago, but I was trying to be fancy, so I said forget it and I just uploaded this. It's trimmed down the best I could do. I hope that it helps some of you with your analysis and game study.

Let me try again here. I fixed her up a bit flipped her right side up.

My wife stole my new hoodie...don't suppose I'll be getting it back anytime soon...

I start fast...but I finish real strong...if you know what I mean (Actually, most of that is not true) Bwahahahaha!

It could be argued that less than half of those things have been happening all year to the degree that I intended to highlight here. My intention here was to point out a noticeable shift toward the right direction and yes a positive/encouraging shift. You may not agree with my analysis and that's ok. Which of them have not been happening all year? The biggest thing is that I think both of us agree we are building into being a very good football team this year. Definitely

Is it just me or did Tommy Armstrong come leaps bounds in terms of game management, leadership and decision making against a very gritty team? Is it just me or did Tim Beck try to stretch the defense vertically down field more than normal (with success I might add)? Is it just me or was AA solid as always? Is it just me or does Pierson-El give the defense just enough to think about in order to take some heat off our other role players on offense while being much more than JUST a decoy? Is it just me or has the defense really started to establish an identity and gel halfway through the season? Is it just me or did the second half offensive line make the first half offensive line take a walk, thus forcing the coaches to make some serious changes? Is it just me or do we always come out of the gate slow and flat, gradually picking up speed, rarely finishing poorly?

Kenny B was a little off tonight. I liked his over all effort and his blocking down field as always. Would like to have seen Westercamp get a couple more touches in front of the home crowd. Tommy A had a great game! His vision was much much better this game. He is growing and that is scary for our offense.

Great game by our boys, not perfect by any means...but we are coming along little by little.

It's the kind of Kool-aid that kicks in after about two quarters of football.
