Colorado was definitely our Rival. But only because their fans are absolute garbage.

It's honestly just not going to happen. He's not a passer. It's evident. Many much better QBs have tried to make it, and didn't. Tommy isn't getting in the NFL as a QB.

Is Pat Narduzzi a real option when Riley does eventually get canned?

Ryker will be the same QB he's always been. There's a reason he's a back up.

I think you guys are dreaming if you think Tommy won't be the QB next year. Unless POB turns out to be Peyton Manning in a husker uniform, we aren't gonna see him till 2017.

Maybe this is already fairly obvious, but it seems to me that Tommy will never flourish in a quick passing attack due to his long wind up and release. I feel like Tommy has to sling the ball like a rocket to get it off in time for the route and it just makes for an inaccurate or uncatchable ball.

Didn't we already have this thread?

That'd be chill

 

Still the worst coaching decision and time management skills I have ever seen from a Nebraska team. Didn't get the play in until 8 seconds on play clock? Couldn't get our TE motioned over. Hey coaches, how bout we call a timeout. I know we had at least one left and you can't take them home.

 

Doesn't even matter if it was a designed run, cause it's still awful coaching.

Call a timeout so the clock stops huh? That makes even less sense

I mean, you call a timeout, you actually get to run the correct plays and we win the game. So actually it does make sense. I hardly think 1 second matters.

I can't help but think if we win, we spoil Wisconsin's season. But if we lose, it doesn't really matter for us. We won't win the west.

No, he's the best we have. Maybe Darlington is a better passer but he'd be risking his life with the number of concussions he's had.

 

The problem is the coaching....end of story.

Honestly so sick of this excuse to not let Darlington play. If you're gonna take a kid who's had concussions anyways, and then not let him play because "Oh no he's had way too many concussions" what's the point of being on the team anyway?

Guys, maybe Oregon will suck without Mariota and we can get Scott Frost!!!!!1!

Are the new alternates coming out vs illinois?

Offense:Wilbon

Defense:Rose-Ivey

I think they mixed up the audio on the last two runs in that video

Offense: I'm going to say Westerkamp, but I think the receiving corps as a whole will have a good day.

 

Defense: Maliek Collins/Vincent Valentine. I think they're going to get in Taysom Hill's head when they bring the pressure early. He'll scramble out from the pressure but I feel that BYU will be one-dimensional on offense, making it relatively easy for the rest of the defense to contain Hill.

Is there an advantage to holding practice that late?

Riley said some players still had summer school.

Armstrong

Darlington

Fyfe

Bush

Stanton

And here comes the justifications for Riley not winning. Pelini had 7 years of data for winning 9 or 10 games. Zero years of data for winning less than that. Every coach loses one or more standouts on each side of the ball every year. In different seasons, Pelini lost Suh, Crick, Amukamara, David on defense......Helu, Burkhead on offense. The schedule is not radically different. We now have ten million years of coaching experience. If Riley can't get this team to win immediately at or above Pelini's level......there are no words.

The way I see it, sure we haven't lost that many players, but we're installing a new offensive scheme. Now, in this scheme we're expecting to throw the ball a lot more. The problem is, our QBs aren't exactly comfortable with throwing the ball in this offense, or even at all. I'm afraid it may be less of a QB battle than a "who can step up and throw the the least-bad."

 

Bo was extremely lucky the past few years having studs at RB and having great Defenses to fill the void at the QB position. I feel that is why he was able to succeed here. Now, we still don't have a great QB and we're missing the safety net at RB while switching the offense to highlight passing. Sure we have better coaching, but if we don't have the resources to utilize in their philosophies, how much good does it do?

 

I don't think we'll win 10 games this year. I think we have the potential to if we're shown something completely different than what we've heard out of practice.

 

Maybe I'm wrong though, at we see sort of a repeat of the 2009 season. Bad offense and a good defense that will carry the team to victory.

We really never ran a 4-3 here under Bo did we? When I picture his defensive set up, I very rarely saw three LBs on the field at once.

We were pretty short at Linebacker, weren't we?
