*** Official Northwestern Game Thread ***

First Half Observations:

  • Nebraska QB play has vastly improved from the last four years.
  • Great passing concepts from Whipple.
  • Unfortunately, Nebraska's offensive line still can't get a consistent push and get 1 or 2 yards when they need it!
  • Nebraska's defense pretty much played an odd-front with lineman covering the center, and then the rest of the line would do a late shift before the snap - it wasn't working that well.
  • If Nebraska can't run the ball it's going to be a LONG season...again.

Things I would like to see in the 2nd half:

  • Stick with the passing game. Mix in the crossing routes, and comeback routes with some concepts designed for the Tight End.
  • More play-action screens similar to the first play of the game to Palmer.
  • Defensively, change the front up to a more 4-3 hybrid instead of the 3-4 odd stack.
  • Keep your poise through the adversity.



Final Prediction: If Nebraska loses this game I don't think it projects well for Scott Frost keeping his job.

2nd Half

- Chin needs a new plan; D has to get pressure

- Henrich should watch better LB's play

- OLine HAS to get run push

- Will Frost and Whipple maintain their role balance?

 
Tell tales you're going to lose a game:

You lose momentum gradually throughout the first half.

You leave a lot of opportunities on the field.

Opponent can successfully manage the clock.

You miss a FG before half.

You're losing at half.
