Overtime: Iowa Post-game Overreaction

SorryNotSorry, this has gone on long enough. Not saying he is a bad person, just saying he should not be under center. By his third year as a QB he should be improved, yet he is regressing. It's done, I like the idea of a grad transfer or juco. Bring in someone who can get the job done.

If that pass would have been completed for a TD, it would have been a genius call. The player was covered . . . Armstrong should not have thrown it on a 4th and 1. He need to progress to the next receiver. I confess I was mystified by Armstrong's performance today.

you were mystified? This is what we have gotten from him all year and it was windy

You're probably right, but usually he gets in two or three good passes. I don't know that he managed one tonight.

 
4th down play wasn't the best play call but it was designed to go to Carter and it was open. If Armstrong runs the play properly, it's an easy 1st down.

 
Overreaction or the truth? Not a great game plan besides a pretty decent try at running the ball. Armstrong simply hasn't progressed in this, his 3rd yr as a starter. Good players make plays such as: Banderas makes the int in 1st qtr, Armstrong doesn't throw the ball to their guy 3 times, he audibles out of that pick 6 play (or the left tackle actually blocks that guy better), we revover 1 of their fumbles, we don't throw it 3 times on 2nd and 3 (bad coaching), Foltz doesn't hit out of bounds, etc

Nebraska isn't very good, hasn't been all year, and our record and our mistakes prove it. That's not an overreaction that's the truth.

 
TA's stats have been almost the exact same for 3 years. Same stats, 2 different coaching staffs...I'll let you geniuses marinate on that one for a minute.

 
Tommie seems like a good kid. If he could win by heart alone, he'd be one of the best. But his mechanics are shakey and I'm afraid that at this point in his career he may never be able to overcome them. Mike can choose to work with him or replace him. Will be interesting...

 
Armstrong knows Langsdorf's playbook. That's LITERALLY the only advantage he has over Patrick O'Brien. Other than that, he hasn't learned a damn thing about how to play QB.

Man, does the press just love to lob easy questions to Riley or what?

Here's a real question: "Coach, can you explain who made the call on the 4th-and-1 to have Tommy in the shotgun, instead of at the line, and why a pass play, and not a run play, was called?"

I have a feeling Riley would have spewed the exact same lame-a$$ answer, but still. Have some balls.
