Have to play more zone underneath. Don't have the players to run man across the board.

Not since 2010 and the loss of Sanders IMO.....

I'm not ready for our season to be over in October, you guys.

For me, its not this game. Its year 7 of the same crap.........The only consistency is the coaches.......

Don't care. I'm not ready for our season to be over in October. The players and coaches should be feeling the same way.

NW has stuffed AA, putting 6 against our 5. Again, no real counters by Beck. TA doesn't have the arm to beat anyone......

In fairness, their defense is pretty good. Their offense on the other hand is not, but is moving the ball up and down the field on us.

Abdullah has 39 yards rushing. That is inexcusable.

On 9 carries. That's just as bad. Get your guy touches and get him the ball in space...use the imagination.

Abdullah has 39 yards rushing. That is inexcusable.

and it's not like they're shutting him down. Beck is just a f&%ktard.

On the bright side, if it wasn't for penalties, poor tackling, dropped balls, our o-line being pushed around, our defensive backfield not coving well, poor playcalling on o and d, a missed field goal, and a qb that completes 40% of his passes; we are doing quite well.

Way to stay positive.

This is horrible....this staff must be on the verge of losing their jobs if you're looking at it from the view of an administrator. What happened to the team that started the season....manhandled Miami and spanked Fresno?

Those teams are terrible.

Yea just get Abdullah in space!

IMO, they have the feelers out there.........No way can they be satisfied or not be prepared if the apparent "collapse" continues. Again, not just this game, but year 7 of the same mediocre perfomarmace, lack or preparation etc....

Well our OL didn't get knocked over by the wind in the first half. So we got that going for us.

 

[alwayshusking]

Listening to the game on the radio and the guys calling the game seemed shocked by the way Nebraska is playing, not sure why its not like this has never happened before

I'm shocked they're shocked. We've seen this performance so many times.

 

[Danimal]

On O we're taking turns making drive-killing mistakes. Penalties cancelled out two plays that should've had us at 2nd and short. Bell had a whole season's worth of drops in one half. If he catches the ball we're ahead now. Moore killed another drive. Tommy missed on what should've been a td or close to on that screen. Brown missed a chip-shot, the score should be tied.

 

[Comish]

A possible wellspring of optimism is that Northwestern carries a lengthy and inglorious history of frittering away leads in the second half..........

TA can't make those throws. That's the problem. Beck is poor and needs to go as he continues to call plays we can't make. Hoping we'll get one....

So why are we shocked then?
