  1. What is up with this 'Run the Ball Guy' stuff? Hasn't he been right? A lot?

     

    I'm still tripping to '01, aside from Black Friday and the Rose Bowl Beatdown. The point is, we were IN the Rose Bowl - it's the last time we even sniffed greatness. THAT'S what we miss. 14 seasons removed from a Husker team that played for a title, and we're pretty straight-forward people. What worked back then? Well, let's try that.

     

    But, I do agree with whomever said we needed a championship-level defense first. That's the dang truth. Osborne did recruit great athletes for offense, but there are several that ended up playing defense (Tony Veland comes to mind) - I think our best athletes most years were Blackshirts. Watching the ASU vs TTU track meet the other night was a glaring example of using all your best athletes on offense.

     

    Osborne kept formations and plays relatively simple and straight forward, and recruited to that simple, yet somewhat unique offense. He didn't have to try to get Peyton Manning, Vinny Testeverde, or Drew Bledsoe. He also didn't need to go after Lemming's top 5 receivers, either. Are we going to beat USC, Florida, and Alabama for all these cogs to Riley's machine? Not very often. So how are we going to beat them on the field?

    Bro Tommy Frazier wasn't a slouch, neither was Turner Gill

    Oregon is going to destroy us.

    No we won't.

    Next week is next week, who knows which team will show up. Let's not get all doom and gloom, sky is falling, we are still winning.

     

    Every week we get the good Nebraska and the bad Nebraska. The only thing that is consistent is poor special teams.

     

    Tru dat- Probably could get better coaching from a youtube video

     

    Why is read even employed? lol our special teams is irrelevant. The biggest crap that irritates me is watching the opponent throw touchdown on 4th and long when the receiver is double covered.

     

    Tommy is a senior who still makes freshmen mistakes.

     

    Why are we not blitzing more?

     

    I just wish we could see a team that plays hard every single down.

  3.  

     

     

     

     

    The same stupid penalties year after year after year. For those who don't see the writing on the wall, there's really nothing that can be said to you.

    33 point win, go back to your bridge

    they are angry that it was "only" a 33 point win. they are those entitled Nebraska fans we always hear about.

    Is "go back to your bridge" a common saying on this board or something? Jesus, that's one of the most incredibly lame jabs I've ever seen LOL

     

    As for "entitlement," we'll see how you are feeling after we lose to Oregon and NW back-to-back. I'll be sure to bookmark this thread so that we can revisit then.

    Bro I bet you our memberships to Huskerboard that we beat Oregon and Northwestern. I'll even give you ten points against NW we beat them.

     

    So if we don't beat them both, including NW by at least 10, you'll leave? Heck, that's a definite win for me, although I don't believe for one minute that you'll follow through.

     

    SO do you accept my offer? Promise to promise bilateral contract. I will leave huskerboard if the huskers lose to both Oregon and Northwestern, and you will leave if Nebraska beats both, and predicated on the condition that Nebraska covers 10 points against Northwestern?

    lol name of the game huh... Look at how much strong at texas is making, he is not really lighting up the world.

    You were saying? I told you they'd beat ND. $100 says Texas ends up ranked higher in the polls than Nebraska.

     

    Ok good logic bud, Texas beats no. 10 ND in OT, and that wins is probably the most significant of Strongs tenure at Texas. But Nebraska beats Michigan State who was No. 7, beat Ohio State, won the Big championship, and yet Texas, by beating a lousy ND team is better off than Nebraska? good point man, great point. I would hate to see how you would do in a court room with such an astute ability to make arguments. Shoot OJ Simpson would have hired you before Johnny if he knew who you were.

  6. Given where we were a year ago, I am glad that Riley and DL showed they are committed to the run game, and to devising a game plan to exploit their opponent's weakness. Now I don't expect this much rushing in every game, but it's evident they want to establish a strong running game early in the season to help the team gain confidence. With that, the passing game will also open up.

     

    I have heard some criticism that our high star WR recruits would not be interested in attending based upon the lack of passes, but it's only one game. Besides, the atmosphere at last night's game was pretty special.

    Thank you, some fans need to lighten up, this team played very well for a opener.

  7.  

    Already looking past WYO?

    Well hell, many on the board thought Fresno was going to be a glorified scrimmage, and they gave us a ballgame into the mid3rd quarter. Nothing is a given with this team nor should anyone be overlooked.

     

    lol this game was never close. Fresno got lucky and we blew punt protection. This game was just like old Nebraska, run run run run, than in the second half the opposing team is gassed. The announcers even mentioned how the Fresno players were walking to the bench gasping for air, and holding their hips. Our fans might be overlooking Wyoming but this team certainly is not. Bo is gone, we have a coach who gets his team to play hard every week regardless of the team they are playing..

  8. We have to earn a top 25 ranking. If we end up going 3-0 by beating Oregon, then I see us being considered in the top 25.

    I say we get ranked at 24 or 25. We put a whooping on Fresno. Too bad it wasn't a hundred points like all you would like lol.

     

    The team played very physical. The only downfall was penalties and a blocked punt. This team will only get better each week, and I expect Coach Riley to get the penalties cleaned up.

  9.  

    We're miles ahead of where we ended lasted year but still have some work to do.

     

    Might as well just accept that guy's are gking to get penalized and ejected for playing the game correctly.

     

    Finally got some 2nd and 3rd team players game experience, the way we want to.

     

    Ozigbo runs hard and we've got Tre Bryant for a long time.

    Disagree on the bold. A real QB will shred this team, which was a problem last year, although the staff finally seemed to settle on how they want to run the ball which should help this team.

     

    I'm going to get flamed for this, but the targeting rule was the right call. Gifford hit the QB with his helmet, it doesn't matter if it was not intentional or if it wasn't severe. It's targeting and was enforced according to the rule.

     

    Great to see a 0 turnover game.

     

    lol first game of the season and your going to use speculation as the only basis for your argument.

  10. Good win tonight. The play calling never deviated away from the run. When we passed it was methodical and well timed. Tommy played smart, and the coaches called a great game for Tommy

     

    I was encouraged to see Coach Riley upset with the penalties. Coach did not become overly excited about the win and seemed to see that this team needs to clean up the penalties. TCU is barley beating South Dakota State, Oklahoma lost to Houston, no 5 LSU ost to an unranked Wisconsin team. This team has momentum and started the season off on a good foot. I look forward to seeing this team grow and watching our young lines become better each week.

     

    I was curious as to why DPE was not returning punts. I do believe that this game was strategically conservative, and that we could have easily scored 60 points if we passed. The coached want to run the ball and as the game went on we saw the effects of smash mouth football, warn out team that did not have the stamina to keep going.

     

     

    Stupid penalties need to change asap, Darlington I understand. Williams penalty was dumb.

    GO BIG RED

    Nowadays, you can either fork over the cash for a top-notch big name coach, or you can take the cheap route and wallow in mediocrity.

     

    This is pathetic.

    And the cost end up the same as we buy out contracts for fired coaching staffs

     

    True, but sometimes you gotta bite the bullet and pay up if you want to achieve elite status. I guarantee that if LSU lets Miles go, they'll pay whatever it takes to buy him out without hesitation, and will bring in Tom Herman or another top-tier coach for top dollar. That's the name of the game these days if you want to compete for championships.

     

    lol name of the game huh... Look at how much strong at texas is making, he is not really lighting up the world.

  12.  

    Hell of a good start. Everything started to unravel after DPE's fumbled jet sweep exchange.

    That "kick in the nuts" single play that seems to plague us. A lack of mental toughness.... Every recent loss seems predicated on that "one play" we couldn't mentally recover from.

     

    Ok well dpl hasn't played in over a year... and second, you proplr should chill out, it is the first half of the season. We have new faces on both sides of the line. Our running gsme looks good and the coached are determined to run the ball. Just calm down. Look at TCU tied with South Dakota state at the half...
