Lol, you guys are giving up too easily. Obviously that was an incredibly pathetic half and, by itself, doesn't give us much reason to be optimistic. But we've come back from big deficits 3 times this year. This game is still very winnable - we start with the ball in the 2nd half. Gotta go get some points.

I'm not sure it's the outcome of this game that is trouble us. It's the fact that we aren't getting better. Our defense looks more lost than ever right now.

We can never play just one clean game. I'm blown away by how confused they are on defense.

Bo didn't have time to help the rising star Papuchis this week. To busy fending off "I do not have an anger problem questions" from fans

 
How long til Stafford gets booted. Antonio Bell was the last one to go off on Bo and he didn't last long after that. Just from a little attempt at lip reading, Stafford told Bo to "Shut the f**k up I'm sick of it." Or something very close to that.

 
Haven't posted in a long time.....but for some reason I feel unbelievably frustrated after seeing the first half.

This team just can't get out of its own way. They must have had a 100 yard drive if you just count the positive plays on the first series. They march down the field, yet PSU gets 5 TFL.

Defensively, I'm really tired of seeing timeouts on 3rd down. If Bo wants all timeouts to be reserved for the defense....fine....but we better have a hell of a great defense and be an unreal 3rd down defense. We are neither.

I'm not a huge observer of Bo's sideline demeanor, but Stafford is a 'veteran' on this team. And he looked to be coming apart at the seams and saying some pretty inflammatory things to his head coach. I'm not in the locker room, and I have no inside information. But when you've got that sort of confrontation happening weekly, I would think it's pretty tough to preach and practice poise as a team.

 
No doubt our "come from behind" luck is going to end in a big way today. Penn State is owning our offensive and defensive lines. Bo as usual is ranting and screaming at players. The offense is unable to finish drives. And our defense can't get lined up properly.

Bo shouldn't take that from him....

 
Second Quarter Impressions:

  • Nebraska is getting out manned on both sides of the ball.
  • If you have to waste 3 defensive timeouts in one quarter it is probably a sign that your defense might just be a little too complicated for 18-22 year old college student athletes.
  • Nebraska would easily be a Top 10 team this year if not for stupid penalties, and careless turnovers.
  • When not one, but TWO defensive players get into your head coach's face in a manner of a few weeks using a number of four letter expletives...that is a sign that everyone is not on the same page inside the locker room. Dare I say a lack of control.
  • Nebraska MUST find a heavy set/power running/play-action pass game when it gets inside an opponent's 10 yard line.
  • Ameer Abdullah has really improved over the last few weeks.
  • Braylon Heard needs to see the ball more.

Things I would like to see in the 2nd half:

  • An attacking defensive front seven. STOP giving McGloin time to throw!
  • Use Penn State's defensive line speed against them by running more zone-read options and quick screens.
  • Bring back that QB Counter run game that we used last week against Michigan State.
  • For once could we play one clean half without having a dumb penalty or sloppy ball control.
  • Nebraska is going to have to make a play in special teams to get the crowd back into the game
  • Get back lining up and running right at Penn State with Braylon Heard. Then put Martinez, Abdullah, and Heard in a shotgun split backfield or pistol full house diamond formation to run zone-read and play action passes.

stafford needs to be shown the door.

 
The announcers should of known that when you punt a ball out of bounds the refs must have a clear line of sight down the line to do their triangulation routine. A PSU coach/staff member was blocking their view. That's a problem and why the flag was thrown. Easy call.

I also congratulate Tmart on running hard for a couple of those first downs. 14 down is pretty big against PSU. They need to come out and score to get mo on their side. I can't believe how poorly we have covered the TE's on occasion.

I hope the DT recruits see how much this defense needs immediate help and that there is playing time there.

I can't believe we lost the kicking game. Woe is me.

If this continues, the cameras won't even cover the play on the field...they'll have every camera up Bo's nostrils.

WTH... No. Who do you suggest we start at Safety? I guess we have Corey Cooper and Harvey Jackson, but Stafford is a big part of the defense...

Don't care what you think of Bo...you just don't act like that towards the head coach. I'll be amazed if he sees the field again.
