There was WAY plenty before that play where we shot ourselves in the foot. 
 

Teams shouldn’t depend on the zebras to get it right—they need to play to take the game out of the zebras’ hands when they get it wrong. 

No s#!t that there was plenty before that in which better play would have eliminated that aspect. My comment was specific to a play in which in which a penalty is called 9/10 times for every other team.

Our wide receiver got f#&%ing tackled and there was no pass interference. Big ten officials just cost us the game again. Such bulls#!t like usual.

You just can’t make this s#!t up. Just unbelievable.

I am sick of losing being blamed on the players when it is clearly a coaching issue. For instance, many fans thought the defense in the first half of the Minnesota game looked slow because they were looking forward to a bye week. On the contrary if you listen to “the beat with JoJo Domann” via huskeronline, he mentions himself that, in the first half, the defense was not checking once the Minnesota O checked based on our initial D alignment. That is bad coaching! Chins gets a slight pass but this should have been realized prior to halftime. We had been checking most the season. To not do so, put your D at a disadvantage or you better be very fundamentally sound (which we have proven time and again we are not)

Play calling in the first half was utra conservative and probably cost us the game. We could have scored more in the first half if we were willing to air it out and let Martinez take some shots.  Based on the playcalling, we accomplished what was called, which was (worst case scenario) lose by a few points. Should have been more aggressive in the first half like we were in the third and may have pulled it out.

I should also note that if I am the coaching staff, I am begging him to stay for another year. The guy has literally, by himself, made the offense look way more proficient than what it truly is due to the terrible horrendous oline play.

Martinez is not the problem. Guy evaded rush after rush with the oline not picking anyone up half the time (and I was one that unfortunately, and incorrectly, wanted to see McCaffrey in a starting role last year…oh how I was wrong), I’ve never seen such horrible clock management with 5 minutes left in the game. Multiple snaps with over 10+ seconds on the clock. For some reason, we don’t trust Martinez who put us in the game to begin with and instead run the ball up the middle (which hadn’t been working all game). Then, we get a first down with under a minute left and don’t burn any timeouts to even try to get us in field goal range - wtf. Mind boggling from a coaching standpoint. You can’t coach scared folks…

Special teams still sucks. How is that even possible. We were so terrible last year.

8-4 regular season. Losses to Oklahoma, Minnesota, Ohio St., and Wisconsin. Win a bowl game and the masses breathe a sigh of relief and step back from the ledge.

I know it is only the first drive, but the offense looks much more crisp and there is a sense of urgency. Very refreshing to see.
