If Lee keeps up his poor game, POB needs to get a shot in the 2nd quarter.  

 

[VectorVictor]

Even Miles is commenting about how we can't toughen up and get two yards on a short down

Miles sounds like he's trying to convince himself that it was a good idea to let his kid come to Nebraska under Riley. 

 

[PaulCrewe]

That was not a shock.  I love how the return team defenders all want to block NIU players on the line not the first guys down the field

 

[Mavric]

We are literally not even attempting to block on punt returns.

 

[KCBuc]

Misdirection and play action please. 

 

[HuskerInLostWages]

Good god, not even one blocker down the field for DPE, everyone still up on the line standing around.  How do you expect to return a punt when every one of our players but DPE is still on the line of scrimmage when DPE catches the ball

 

[Dagerow]

Is it, now, ok to say Riley needs to be fired?    We should be able to run at will against them.  They are not that good.

 

[HuskerNation1]

Miles sounds like he's trying to convince himself that it was a good idea to let his kid come to Nebraska under Riley. 

Or that he could be doing a hell of a lot better than Riley is with the talent we have on the team.

 

[The Duke]

Going back to the Oregon game Nebraska is now 0 for 13 on 3rd down.

 

[marko polo]

Oh for the days when it was 2nd & 3 or 3rd & 3, and you could just run a simple straight ISO block and get the yards.

It's situations like these where we don't convert that proves this offense IS NOT PHYSICAL ENOUGH.

duh!

 

[It'sNotAFakeID]

All Power 5 Coaches agree:  Mike Riley is Perfect for Nebraska!

What they're not telling you is that they endorsed this statement: Mike Riley is the perfect coach for Nebraska because with him at the helm Nebraska will be an easy win.

 

[srod68]

Maybe we should look to the future and pull Gibbia's redshirt?  

 

[Dansker]

NIU is the kind of team where we have to shore up our running game but Langsdoofus gets ahead of himself and thinks we have a Manning under center.

 

[Sker fer life]

DPE has forgotten how to field punts

 

[84HuskerLaw]

Sorry but it seems DPE is a disaster waiting to happy in his punt return/receiving right now.  He seems like his is so shaky in decisions, etc.  Every time he makes the wrong choice.
