Anybody else think they're not having "fun" out there? I think Bo's cell phone prank and Harlem shake needs to carry over to the field. Still need to take care of business, but have fun doing it.

Go figure someone with an Obama username would seek something free

Alex Henery against Okie State comes to mind. But I agree we don't do it much. After the game, Alex revealed it wasn't a called fake. He just took off when no one from Okie State was facing him (he had been coached to do that, so it wasn't completely on his own). I believe we ran the same fake FG twice and the last time was when the fastest player from Colorado read it, picked it out of the air and took it the distance.

Can't say I noticed it. Not right of the players to do that, regardless if I agree with them. I think Beck does really great things, then he over thinks and his play calling gets the best of him. His playbook is too big. I can't remember the writer but said NU is good at a lot of things, but not great at any one of them. I buy it, and I'll say it again, the option has to go unless they truly dedicate themselves to it. I still want to think this game plan was by design to not give anything away on film and I expect it to get more fun, for us fans and the players. I don't agree with that theory because if you want to be the best, it doesn't matter if they know what's coming, make them stop it. That's what TOs teams were about. There were some missed opportunities, TMs decision on one particular zone read left 3 defenders for Ameer to get swallowed up by, instead of keeping it and having a lead blocker with huge daylight. Dropped passes. Penalties. (Can someone explain the Jake Long false start? He moved but the whole line was checking and Taylor wasn't even under center quite yet) It was just a horribly sloppy game and I can only help to think "it's all correctable."

Hard time buying your first point, he was hurt on a design run play. And yes, need our QB of the future getting reps. Or is this Bo's strategy to keep another plan secret?

Ya if you quote his answer No excuses He also said they would have blocked the PAT.

Move it if need be, my bad. Does it help that they asked him how the landscape of college football would look like if TO kicked the PAT?

Anybody catch him in the booth during the Miami/FAU game? To this day, my Dad is not fond of him, never understood why until after listening to him talk with the broadcasters tonight. What a self centered pr***. Emphasizing that Jimmy Johnson inherited a team that HE recruited, that lead to "the greatest dynasty in college football dating back to WW2 or maybe WW1." Spit my beer out...what? Most of his quotes were arrogant responses. The dude just patted himself on the back the whole time. Seemed like the person who gets lost in the shuffle and has to make some dramatic scene to get noticed. What a tool.

Herbstreit never makes any thought provoking statement. He doesn't bring anything to the table that someone else hasn't already said and he doesn't think outside of the box. He just seems pop culture, at least that's the card he always plays. Little side topic...Pelini and Herbstreit played a couple seasons together at OSU, what's their history?

I concur. The ones committing earlier are typically the most sought after and developing relationships with other programs. It was interesting to read (i dont know direct quote) how NU is putting more resources into recruiting and that there are no days off. I don't see us having 24 non coaching staff related positions, like Bama, but increasing eyes and coverage is needed to keep up. At least a 10 win season and a bowl game win will give good momentum to cap '14 and kick off '15

Started really following recruiting just a few years ago, but keep seeing more stories and updates about 2015 recruiting cycle. I don't recall seeing this much action from an NU staff this early in the process, ever. I think we've seen this staff make considerable strides in recruiting the past two years and I like it. As much as the players are learning the "process," Bo & Co is figuring their end out too. We were behind on the times and often waited too long to enter the picture, IMO, things have changed and it's becoming "Recruit early and recruit often." Thoughts?

Crown and coke or my Nebraska keychain bottle opener

And sometimes less is Moore! Yes, Ted, that was the joke

Pretty sure there was an article late last fall, when he made his decision to go to UF, that quoted him for saying one reason he didn't return was because he wasn't sure what the team would think/say. Much like everyone else, my thought was and still is, man up and accept your share of responsibility. He ran away from his problems and still butt hurt and complaining

It kind of sounds like a writer fishing for a story and knowing the right buttons to push

Arkansas St, the OL was a cause of 2 blind side sack fumbles. I hear what you're saying foppa but the majority of his turnovers were result of his play.

Inconsistency is his nightmare. His fumbles when going down need to get fixed. CCG and PSU for sure, although, he made a conscientious effort against Goergia to protect the ball when running. Another frustration is when he scrambles and forces pass, instead of tucking and running, again however, PSU he made an awesome throw to Jamal Turner stepping up on the run and hitting JT cutting across setting up 1st and goal. He throws too many "I wish had that back" picks right into defenders hands. Like Bo said, if he can grow as much between JR-SR as SO-JR year, we can expect big things and my frustrations will be after thoughts.

This guy

If the new offer was a JUCO then I think it would be telling about Amin, but either way I don't like our chances here. Need to get Pelon in and close. It would be foolish to disagree. To me, it seems a little more than a coincidence we offer a new kid the same time there is an update on him. It sounds like the "nice guy" lip service of a kid who has a hard time saying no. Especially how hard we're trying, plus maybe even his coach, if he still has strong ties with Bo/NEB.

More telling sign is we just offered another DT...IMO

Watch the pre-snap of Santos during the PSU game where he makes the play at the goal line that causes the fumble. He's looking in at Compton wondering what his assignment is, as ball is snapped, he reacts and makes a huge play.
