Our D, while clearly our best unit, isn’t as good as we thought they were.  When we needed them to step up and send us to overtime they suddenly got bad against the run.  This was Iowa’s offense.  Not Maryland.   
 

I attended my second game of the season and I’ve decided watching at home is the way to go for me.

Limongi has always been an a-hole so it's par for the course. Jones is quite a talent though, would be very nice to have him on board for the future of the Huskers.

Jones is good and the fact that NU apparently hasn't shown much interest in Rezac the QB is baffling to me.

Agree, but the OC who watches practice should call low risk throws.  Just make the "rudimentary" passes.  Sadlt we can't even do that.  Unsure if I have seen a team this devoid of actual QB talent.

The gamble and subsequent loss on taking Simms in the Portal hurts big time, but the offense as a whole was pretty void of experienced playmakers, plus the injuries....

All things considered, I just don't think firing a coordinator (as many are angrily drunk posting) is the way to go.

That last Sims INT.  Throwing into the wind?  Running game working.....

Fair enough.  We can't NOT ever pass though.

YOU actually thought that was a good play call.  With the elements??  With the QB situation???  With how Emmet has ran today???  With the score????  

 

That's why

 

Hey drunk boy, my post was prior to that play call.   And no, it was a s#!tty play call.

Why are some blaming Satt?

I will say, given my comment in the other thread about poor WR blocking, Coleman wasn't a guy I saw whiffing on blocks. The fact that he squared up and gave a solid hit to the LB is a lot more than some guys did all game.

Coleman was great and everyone else did their job job on this play, except for the pulling guard who whiffed the block and then helped finish off the tackle of our ball carrier.  If he doesn't whiff it's a 10yrd run.  Instead it was 5.  

I hope the first question in the presser is why the f#&% is an immobile player returning punts.

It's not about who sucks. It's about keeping the outsider from representing the West. I'm certain they'd prefer a sucky Iowa or sucky Wisconsin in the championship than a sucky Nebraska. 

How are we the “outsider?”

It's probably the B1G tilting the scales a bit. Because let's be honest, I highly doubt they want Nebraska to represent the West in the last year of the divisions. Especially not this Nebraska team. 

No.  There’s literally no west team who doesn’t suck. 

D needs their pride taken down a few notches.   They’re not as good as they have been hearing.  Only against bad offenses and MSU is playing really good on offense.   

Ball game 

Why do our punt and punt return teams struggle?   Other teams don’t seem to have that problem.  

Good God Bushini

I haven't seen Hutmacher. Is he hurt?  Miss the bus?

He's there.  Getting

double teamed a lot.

Haven't seen our D line get neutralized like this since the Michigan game.

Our D is struggling.  Hopefully that changes soon.  Trading scores won't win this game for us.

Why not run the clock down before the TO?????  Seriously dumb

Exactly.  Why give msu a chance with a kick return?  The little things matter. 

Thanks to MSUcks and their penalties for this drive.  Our offense is all out of sorts.

Why fair catching that?

He can’t run due to his injury.   Makes perfect sense, right?

Coleman wide open crossing the middle and he threw into double coverage.

Iowa and Nebraska are remarkably similar this season; both giving up relatively similar amounts of yards and points, while holding teams to similar amounts of yards and points on D. Iowa has a stronger strength of schedule. 

 

Wisconsin has, statistically, the best offense but worst defense of the three, while also playing the hardest schedule of the three. 

I’d say the SOS is a wash between the three.  It will probably come down to turnovers, which probably doesn’t bode well for us.  

How do know the CB isn’t coached to be aggressive on the out route?  The blitzing whiffed and didn’t do its job.   If he’s soft on the outside coverage and the QB completes a quick pass before the blitz gets home, then we would be critical of the soft coverage.   

4.8% to win the west?  That’s bad.  Not saying we will, but…..Who’s going to win it?  We all are at about the same level.

Unfortunately, NU could “improve” but not show it in their record, because they won’t be playing 6 games against the current Big Ten West. 

A Very good point.
