I am happy with the halftime adjustments. We played shutout D until we switched to prevent. We started running the ball again, but I see a few things to hang our heads over:
I don't think he can handle the pressure in games. That first kick looked like a Rodney Dangerfield drive in Caddyshack.
I agree. I'm not the biggest TA fan, but he had people coming at him throughout the game. Serious OL issues. The question is: were the issues a result of BYU blitz packages and our OL's inexperience as a group, or is the OL just not as good as we'd like.
Supposedly Bronco is genius with the blitz packages, but I don't know enough football detail to say. I still think TA could have cause a lot of damage by running sooner. Several times he started running too late and got caught from behind.
I didn't realize how inexperienced our OL is. Outside of Lewis (who isn't bad, but is always good for a penalty and complete whiffs each game), I believe the most starts any of them had before today was 2. I was hoping they would look a little better, but hopefully they can get it figured out in the next few games.
Thank God! Someone with some sanity
I am really upset. We had an opportunity to score a touchdown, go up by eight, an win going away. Starting off the season with a happy fan base and a confident team. Instead, we shank a FG, that we should have never attempted, and allowed a true freshman to drive 76 yards in 48 seconds with no timeouts. The hail mary was the worst play I have ever seen in my life. The QB had all day to throw. The receivers had plenty of time to set up in the end zone, and there was not a single husker in front of the receiver. The ball hit the receiver in the stomach with a single defender immediately behind him, and five additional huskers standing in the back of the end zone.
