There is your designed QB run, looked like doo-doo

all right, good, Newby into the middle

Good god, TA.

Hey, Reilly, get to the outside, on that

F*** it pisses me off that Iowa is more relevant than Nebraska.

At the end of the day, we have to assess where Iowa is as a program

An outside run...... Riley looks as though he has no clue in that sideline pic after the TD.... None

I don' think he does have a clue. I think the MSU win, though many of the Kool-aid drinkers on here would believe otherwise, was a blind pig finding an acorn

They are doing what they can to make sure Iowa goes in the the B1G title game undefeated

3rd and what 4, and Carter sets up shop 3 yards downfield

 

Nice lob, Tommy. Step into the damn thing and throw the godd*** ball like a man

Its crazy. he has a cannon until he needs to have a cannon

 

yea, really, locountry. When he needs a touch pass, he throws a missle

Glad I was wrong. He nailed it

This kick will be a dead duck

Nice lob, Tommy. Step into the damn thing and throw the godd*** ball like a man

Tommy is so Jekyl and Hyde

 

What does a defender do when the offensive player is is not upright?

Use his hands.....would've been the same incomplete pass....you don't spear a guy heading for the ground.

 

Teach kids to reach with their hands instead of making a hit.

I get it, it's all about safety, but this targeting stuff has gone too far. It's a contact sport, when a guy dives, what body part is going to go first?

Personally, I don't think I could watch another game this year. I will if the Huskers make it to a bowl, but I'm stupid.

Armstrong's decision making all year has been suspect at best

Hey a WR screen for 8 yards. Go back to it. go back to it,

Armstrong + Langsdorf = disaster

Um...can someone explain why the OP or anyone else would think that Gameday would sniff Lincoln when we're 5-6 and there's plenty of better matchups going on this weekend? Not to mention the fact that we play on Friday?

 

SMDH...

Probably the same line of thinking that was used to start the thread, referring to the game between a 5-6 team and an undefeated team as a "Showdown".

As always Husker fans remember coaches for their losses, rather than their wins.

 

I do believe Urban said before the game that their offensive line was going to be tested like never before at any point this season. They didn't rise to the challenge they had before them. I mean 14 points is all they could muster, and it all came on turnovers from Michigan State that gave them a short field.

 

Granted I don't agree with the lack of carries that Ellliot got, but there are more tools with that offense than just Elliot. Hats off to Spartans for playing a great game.

It's funny how the Huskers ran for 178 and passed for 320 against that defense, with fewer weapons than Ohio State has. Beck is the obvious and easy choice to beat on, but that entire team was coasting on last year's achievements.

And I think, Meyer, more than most coaches, gets a little arrogant in his game plan and play-calling. They all do, how about 30 + passes on a windy day in Champaign Illinois, or 50+ against Purdue? But, for example, Ohio State led Alabama by 7 with 2:00 last year in the Sugar Bowl and Alabama was down to one time-out. Everyone knew Ohio State needed to just run three plays, make them burn the timeout and probably run the clock down under 30 seconds before punting, if necessary. Meyer called for, and admitted it was his call, a play-action deep ball to Devin Smith. It didn't work, it saved a timeout, and Bama got the ball back with about a minute to go instead of 20-25 seconds.

Playing as a team rather than a collection of players has paid dividends.

And doing the opposite bit Ohio State in the @$$ Saturday night, and all season for that matter.

Great story, and I'm sure it was 1,000 times better being there as you were. It's always cool to meet the real person behind what we see on the sidelines.

 

Ohio State's loss last night was nothing more than a team being fat, happy, and content. They spent all spring and summer hearing how great they were going to be this year, and how many weapons they had their disposal to light up the scoreboard. That offense sucked all year. Some of their blowout wins weren't blowouts until late in the game. It is not entirely the fault of Tim Beck, though it is funny how once he was hired that offense seemed to go downhill.

 

Last year, Ohio State played with that chip on their shoulder and played as a team, not a bunch of individuals. You saw Evan Spencer make a key block in the Sugar Bowl, you saw guys selling out for each other.

 

I realize Elliot was emotional after the game, but declaring for the draft in that fashion, much like Jones speaks to the selfishness of the team. It goes back to the suspensions for the first game, it goes to Barrett getting drunk, and it goes to guys wanting their numbers as much, if not more than the win. I'm as big a Nebraska fan as anyone on this board, but I went to Ohio State as did most members of my family and extended family, so I follow both pretty closely.

 

Wouldn't it be even better if Nebraska basically wrecked the B1G conference's chances of having an undefeated team at the end of the season? One more to go Friday.

 

If anyone has a picture of the scoreboard from the Michigan State Nebraska game a couple weeks ago, I would like to use it as my profile pic on facebook, just to get under the skin of my buddies up in Ohio. I asked for the same thing on another thread so we'll see.

You are in luck as I am checking the board from my phone atm and took one. Edit Not sure why it is uploading upside down?

 

Perfect, thanks so much I have it cropped down and rotated and it is now my FB profile photo for all my buds in Ohio to see. When they ask, I will point out the 320 yards passing that anyone could have figured against the second worst secondary in the B1G. I will also point out to them the 178 yards rushing that pretty much reduced Shalique Calhoun to a whiny little b*tc*. And I will point out how the Huskers had more yards in the final four minutes than Ohio State had in the entire game.

And I will also point out that I spent as much time at that University as most of my friends did in the late '80's and early 90's all the while cheering on the Huskers.

 

A Husker poster is on there giving them good advice and examples of Beck being Beck....

 

I couldn't help myself. Like I told them, It's like watching a good friend dangle precariously from a ledge. You know that you want to help them, but you can't...and you know eventually, they're going to lose their grip.

 

When he was hired, I told em to cut ties immediately.

 

Some guys thought that the greatness of Urban Meyer would cancel out the suck-I-tude of Beck....

 

Boy, they were wrong. And not only did their board go critical mass, but they actually put a "FIRE TIM BECK" reddit site up...rather quickly.

 

I posted a similar sentiment on Facebook last January 12th for all of my buddies in Ohio. I told them to enjoy the play calling in the NC game with Tom Herman, because they would lose their minds in the 2015 season with Beck even being remotely involved.
