Nebraska football is a comedy.

This. Seems like all it takes is one play for this team to have a nuclear meltdown

Game. Blouses

Are you fcking kidding me?

We don't get a stop here and you can call this one

Yeap

Same thing that seems to happen all the time: Mora has made adjustments, Pelini/Beck have not

I feel like I'm watching the same bad sitcom on repeat...

Yeap

Now that the offense has all the pressure I'm guessing we'll go three and out here. It's like these games are scripted.

Here comes the implosion. Inevitable

Damn it. Not wrapping up just cost us 7 and all the momentum.

Joe Schad of ESPN is reporting that the man who sold the "deer antler spray", which contains a substance banned by the NFL, to Ray Lewis also sold it to Alabama players and that he witnessed them using it. I'm not sure if the substance is explicitly banned by the NCAA, but this looks pretty bad right? How prevalent do you guys think this kind of stuff is in college football?

Please tell me this was sarcasm....

Pay attention to basketball. I don't think ESPN pimps the ACC anymore than any other conference when it comes to basketball. Remember a few years ago when it was all about the Big East in basketball? Then again, basketball means next to nothing compared to college football when it comes to revenue.

I think we need TM at quarterback. The kid is a stud athlete and, as we all have seen, has the potential to turn broken/bad plays into big gains. No way should we play him anywhere other than at QB, except, as mentioned above, as a possible "wrinkle" in the offense. Yes he makes some bad throwing decisions and puts the ball on the ground, but he gives us our best chance to win. Hopefully he can spend the offseason working again and sew up some of the turnover issues.

Sorry about that last post. How do I delete it?

I haven't heard that rumor anywhere else either. Does anyone think it is likely that Mora leaves UCLA? Would love to get a shot at those linemen and possibly push Priest Willis more our way. I tried to go over to a few UCLA boards but couldn't find anyone who thought Mora would leave.

Great article. Seems a bit paranoid at some points, but I think it presents a very valid argument against the "SEC is and forever will be the gods of college football" mentality.

Even more disconcerting is the fact that this defense seems to give up a lot of "big" plays. IIRC, UGA didn't score once inside the red zone. All the TDs came on big plays.

As an outsider, my observation was that on most plays your coaches had players in the right positions to make plays, but the (UGA) offensive players simply made the plays. That's not a coaching issue. Look at the long pass by King where he was covered by two receivers for example. The wildcat formation I don't think we have run all year or in a very very limited amount. Your defense was probably not even prepared to see that from us.The tight end drag was a busted coverage, but most plays were simply athlete on athlete. I didn't watch Nebraska too much this year and I can certainly understand where it is never acceptable for someone to score 70 points on your team...ever. However, this defensive scheme looks the same as LSU runs now with a lot of man to man coverage, stuffing the run and pressure on the quarterback. It just looks like some of the players aren't executing because of talent or hustle of the opposing player. Anyway, it's really none of my business. It was a great game. I love the Big Red. Agree completely. Yes Murray made some spectacular throws that would be incredibly difficult to defend no matter the coverage. However, there were several plays where, as Dawg pointed out, our players were in position but could not make the play - TDs caught over Green, Evans, and Compton. All were in a relatively good position but just couldn't make the play.

Those Nebraska points make me cringe. If our defense was anything close to what Pelini put together in 2009, all of those games would have likely been blowouts/multiple TD wins...

+1 Martinez will play til the last second with everything he has. If we can just get the defense on the right track, next year could be special.
