Monday Presser

[caveman99]

Man Yoshi was a warrior. We all laughed when he destroyed the roll of tape the trainer was holding as he was being helped off the field. I'm not really sure why they kept him in the game late where he had trouble even getting to the line though.

Seemed like everyone got dinged, Caputo got hurt as well and proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that a back up center does exist. The meat grinder has begun, now we see how deep we are at each position.

Rex doesn't know how many times he will carry the ball against Northwestern. Depends on the flow of the game, the game plan and what is working.

i would like to see him get limited action, freshen him up for Penn St. and Michigan.......he needs to have fresh legs for the stretch, very important, i think we can handle NW and give the kid some much needed rest.

BK thinks that MSU got wore out against our hurry up. He was calling players out on it, saying that they were faking injuries.

It was obvious. I'm going to rewatch the game and count how many times #5 got "injured." The guy sitting next to me said #5 got hurt again and was going to walk off the field, but the Michigan State coaches told him to get down, get down.

I don't grudge them if they fake injuries. It's within the rules. The point of the hurry-up is to wear out the defender, and that's legal. If I can legally prevent that as an opponent coach, I'm going to do it.

As a Husker Fan I don't like it, but what are you gonna do?

What?!? No, it isn't. It's specifically spelled out in the Coaching Ethics section.

"Feigning an injury for the purpose of gaining additional, undeserved

time for one’s team. An injured player must be given full protection

under the rules, but feigning injury is dishonest, unsportsmanlike and

contrary to the spirit of the rules. Such tactics cannot be tolerated among

sportsmen of integrity."

It's also mentioned under the "Injury Timeout" section.

It's difficult to enforce as it's almost impossible for a referee to make that determination, but it looks to me like a ref could call an Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty for it.

it could be punished after the fact. still nearly impossible to prove.

Bo just dropped the name Tim Tebow...

Did Bo mention the name Tebow or that he was going to start Tebowing?

Somebody needs to get some youtube videos up of these MSU players faking injuries... I missed it during the game.

i noticed there were an unusual amount of players going down, did not think much of it at the time other than them being tired or weak. it surprises me because even though we are up tempo, it really is not that noticeable. nothing compared to the tempo oregon runs.

I've noticed it when rewatching games. For most teams, I can bump the forward button on my DVR once (30 seconds) and see the snap consistently. With Nebraska, the play is almost always underway unless there was a penalty or something else unusual. We definitely have a faster tempo than most.

Did Knapp hack into Maudfathers account???

OK, it's against the rules. The single most obvious faked injury I've seen was Suh vs. Oklahoma in 2009. Even though it's in the rulebook, if they didn't call it against Suh, they're never going to call it.
