Maybe things will start to "crystalize" for Eichorst tonight with:

 

 

 

 

 

It's so sad that the 1995 team has to witness this kind of effort.

 

WAKE UP Nebraska Administration & Boosters! BRING BACK POWER FOOTBALL!

This x1324234235 power football wins championships. Look how many Oregon has trying to be fancy.

 

How many does Stanford have? Wisconsin?

 

Alabama sure does have a few Championships playing power football in the last decade.

 

 

Ohio St. won last year running power plays out of shotgun. Funny I don't see any Spread/West Coast finesse teams winning them...

 

 

USC under Carroll. (West Coast)

Texas with Vince Young (Spread)

Florida with Tebow (Spread)

Bama won all 3 with Pro Style/West Coast

 

Yes but all those programs easily get top talent but with the type of talent that NEBRASKA can only get, you have to run a simple offense. A power run offense with option, play action passing, are all simple schemes to coach with 2 and 3 star recruits.

RUN THE OPTION AGAIN!

This team is terrible, and I've seen nothing this season that makes me think we'll have any better results with this staff in the future.

Yeah, I'm definitely not on board with this staff. Right now, we're just hoping to break even on the year to make a bowl and even that is unlikely given the results thus far.

This is where TA throws another pick six.

 

Let's BLOCK this FG shall we?

 

Did you really think there was even a 0.1% chance of that happening?

 

But but we pay a coach $900,000 a year to coach the ST...

Nobody will be accountable either. Looking forward to another "gee golly, I don't know what happened" press conference.

Yeah it's getting old, isn't it? The post game pressers where we lose and smile about it then on Monday the traditional 5-7 minute opener on the "good things we did even though we lost" bullet points. I'll pass.

Let's BLOCK this FG shall we?

This staff has definitely turned this team around in less than a year.

Maybe somehow the D will force a surprise turnover and we put on a long drive, score a TD and 2-point conversion?

Game over. NW is going to drive to score.

We all knew this was coming, but it doesn't make it any easier.

Yep it's like the Titanic sinking and there is nothing we can do about it but go down with it.

 

Im thinking if Riley wants to keep his job, he needs to NOT keep his craptastic coaches. Langs gone, Banker gone, Stewart gone, ST coach gone.

 

I'd first get rid of Stewart. I think Banker's system works, really. The front 7 are causing havoc. Back 4 simply can't finish the plays.

 

It's not all on Stewart. We run a quarters scheme where the DB's are expected to do a lot and have to trust one another or the scheme fails. The DB's are basically on an island to defend for themselves with no support. Stanford and Pitt HC Narduzzi run a better quarters coverage. With that scheme, you pretty much look to have 9 guys in the box and safeties playing 6-9 yards from the LOS to help in run support this results of course in giving up space to get beat deep.

 

Northwestern held Stanford to 85 yards rushing.

 

You guys don't understand that you have to attack weaknesses of defenses right? LOL why I even come here on gameday....i don't even know.

Thanks for that insight on the first game of the season.

 

Duke 158 yards

Ball st 180 yards

Mich. 200 yards.

Iowa. 300. Yards.

 

I can see why you stay away. You don't know football

 

Considering the fact that NW has the 67th ranked rush D allowing 154.6 yards on the ground per game we've kind of given up on attacking that even if it doesn't work, we seem to bail on the run game which is a huge mistake, IMO.

 

This season just goes to prove once again that performance in the Spring Game means very, very little.

Yep. And that what we as fans have seen (Wilbon, OZ) obviously doesn't tell the whole story...... They must suck in practice

 

The staff has made it clear that they want an APB someone who can block, catch, run. Notice how I place run as the third most important thing? That's because that is what this staff teaches.

Langsdorf, you better run the ball A LOT on this frigging drive if you want to win this damn thing. Shorten the game, pound the rock, make them stop it. You won't though............because you're an idiot.

Why run it when we have Tommy Manning under center?

The crowd would have went nuts if Gangwish would have brought him down...man, their QB has a great stiff arm!

Gangwish had a bad angle at the point of attack too so we kind of make this QB look like a world beater.

 

 

Last week some people complained that I was being too negative because I said that I didn't agree w/ Langsdorf's play-calling in the 4th quarter. I just don't understand how people continue to defend him.

Or Banker, or Stewart or the ST coach..... Riley might be the guy, but his staff is a huge downgrade IMO.

 

Not ready to buy into that yet. We have to give them another season before really seeing if the staff sucks.

 

But why? Riley's record with these guys at Oregon State speaks for itself. Why let them re-write history here for a storied program? If we finish 4-8 I think the staff is done like dinner.

SSDD - another nail biter.

delete.

I think a FB trap is coming soon.

 

I do not see this team going bowling this year. We may not even beat Purdue. The only saving grace is upset either unbeaten MSU or Iowa to prevent HCMR's seat from getting warm.

 

I stand by what I said earlier...If Riley & this staff cannot win at least 6 games...just 6 games with this talent then we should cut our losses at the end of this season and make a change for the betterment of the program.

 

The problem is there have been a lot of head coaches that go 5-7 but turn it around in year 2. Only way Riley goes is either by realizing this wasn't meant for him and steps down OR boosters/fan disappointment is at Callahan level and Eichorst gives in and admits his mistake and goes for hire no. 2 ala Pat Haden at USC.
