Coaches lost this game

[GOAT]

Sounds like Riley throwing Armstrong under the bus and trying to cover his own a$$.

Okay, so that kind of changes things a bit.

Maybe don't call a bootleg either -- I'd prefer a straight ahead in case the defense stays home -- but if that was the call, the awareness from Tommy is what should be called into question. He's a team leader. He can't put the game on the line like that. Has to know the situation.

of course it was. It was probably a run/pass option. But if it was a run and tommy passed then who is responsible for coaching his dumbass. He's started 30 some games. His a$$ should be overriding any dumb sh#t passes call and just fall down on the ball after the snap.

As for some of the vitriol Husker fans are saying now...yeesh. Maybe get up and walk away from a keyboard for a while.

I wouldn't try to marginalize it. They have every right to be this pissed off.

Riley just said the 3rd down play was a QB run and Armstrong decided to throw it which he wasn't suppose too. Who f'd up now?

Thats some good ole Bo pointing the finger and not the thumb. Kids don't execute......

We went from a hot head who I lost respect for to a guy who I don't respect because of his decisions on the field and also the fact he brought his entire staff with him who are showing us they have no clue on how to play division one football.

WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER 59:45 OF THE GAME?

Seriously, this is just one play. Doesn't explain why we didn't run the ball consistently, why we took out the safety help on one of the most important series of the game...

At some point the kids don't. Even Bo wasn't always wrong in that regard. The execution today was not good on the players side nor the coaches.

And there it is. Throw the player under the bus.

2 things.

1. That was a called pass. He's lying. Tommy should say so in the presser.

2. The only correct call in that situation, is to run inside. Riley is an incompetent coach.

Fire everyone from the chancellor on down.

Riley pointing the finger at his players. That's rich.

 

[RedRex]

Sounds like there's some empty seats on the "Energy Bus"....

 

[zoogs]

Here's another thought: what if it wasn't a called pass?

I don't even think Bo would do that

 

[NUinID]

I'm out. That was the worst clock management I have ever seen they have no time outs at third and 7 you run the ball and burn it to about 52 seconds, snap the ball on 4th and 5 or 6 or 7 at about 15 seconds. They may get the ball back with about 11 seconds left and no time outs.

I officcially quit on Mike Riley

Then our quarterback is mentally retarded.

 

[ColoradoHusk]

The play call cannot be defended. The coach can't put the player in position to make such a colossal mistake.

Taking a knee would have been a better decision at that point in the game.
