What did I learn?

I learned my game watching demeanor is slowly returning to the years in which I was not numbed by losing and incompetence...my vocabulary is becoming sailorish, my pacing has picked up, my hand gesturing towards the tv is more demonstrative...all these things are good as I learned I am once again returning to a time where a Husker game has a complete effect on my mood for the day/evening...wife may hate it but I LOVE IT!

It has to be Iowa simply for the fact that it causes so many of you anguish to even utter it...pure snobbery is a factor in rivalry growth.

Give it 10 more years and this will be a no brainer

When it is all said and done, Jurgens is going to be a stud center

I called all the TD plays

Saw Mo leave the game holding his hand/wrist.

 

 

Was wondering where he was

Something is wrong with Martinez.  I dont care what frost or anyone says, hes getting high, hes got gf issues, hes debating coming out of the closed, hes afraid of his roomate, hes got turf toe, his hair tickles his ear every time he throws, hes debating on turning in his publishers clearing house card, he became allergic to the color white, i dont know but its something.  If he cant get his head clear he needs to sit.  He thinks hes the guy, but he sure as hell hasnt shown that hes the guy.

Some of your "issues" he propose speak more to you than him

And that garbage tutelage has the best record of the last 5 years. He is also one of the best receivers in school history so I think he has a good read of the situation. He has no panic and we shouldn't panic either. All of our goals are still in front of us for the year. 

 

We still need to learn how to win better. It would help if we could just put teams away so we don't have a close game. Hopefully, this team will turn the corner after an OT lost like we did last year.

Hmmm...thinking you took my comment in the wrong way

This is interesting. 

Not really...I would expect a former player, that played under garbage tutelage to say this

...Football play calling is a game of adjustments and you don't get as good as Frost is at it...

Sooooo...why no adjust vs CU?

Not really. Some posters have requested an option to not view ads. That is in response to that request. Huskerboard will always be a free site to post and register and there will be ads. The subscription is optional and only if you don't want to view ads. 

Obviously in the grand scheme of things this will be a blip...but the introduction of ads is what generated the request. Kudos to you man...see an annoyance and profit from it. Can't blame you...the fault lays with those who cannot wait a sec...lack of patience pays the man.

I stand corrected. I didn't think they ran ANY mesh plays, but they did run at least one. It's basically one of the top 3 go-to pass plays for nearly every spread coach, including Leach (a spread forefather, everyone steals from this man), Dabo, Brian Kelly, Urban, etc. Urban destroyed Michigan's man coverage with it last year, more than a few times. It's very hard to stay with the crossing receivers with the natural picks and poor defensive coverage angles.

 

I didn't see it much, if at all last year, so it's nice to see it at least once here. If run right (like all plays, I know), it presents several problems at once for most coverages. The beauty of it is the easy read and throw that the QB gets. Hopefully we do it more, because if we get blocking, AM should be able to make it go. 

 

In Scott's version, here, Wandale ended up wide open, and pretty quickly, but it seems AM was focused on Stoll. Of course, our RT didn't even think about picking up a corner blitz, so it was pretty screwed from the start. Several different versions have a back stay in to check for blitz, but will slip out in the flat if none comes, and it's an easy check-down. We sent Washington deep, so he was no help here in either aspect. 

 

Scott needs to be okay with grind-it-out drives, and mesh is a great play to do that. It might be a little dink-and-dunk, but every now and then, it can go for a lot. If nothing else, it's a very high percentage way to get 4+ yards.

Explosive plays are born out of the mundane

Didja know: NASA had to rename the sizes of the apparatus used for male astronauts to pee, from small, medium, and large, to large, gigantic, and humongous, because no one was willing to pick their true size.

Well, pre-determined checks could do that. AM is in a "sophomore slump" and I say that in the lightest way of that meaning. He is trying to be what is expected, outside Heisman type, as opposed to what he is...a play creator...which ultimately leads to Heisman invite

A key reason these different defensive looks are successful is our inexperience.

 

Our starting center is an absolute newbie to the position.

 

There's no substitute for game experience followed by film study.

Very good point

Apples to oranges comparison here as I didnt think a Natty coming into this year...but i hold onto the fact that OSU lost to VTech at home in their natty year and they "found themselves" after that. Hoping we have a similar step to a 9-3 season

What I dont get with a qb like AM is...if he is getting pressured in the pocket, ROLL HIM OUT!

Set up opposite side of the quarter roll screens in combo with corners and drags play side...nothing there on the non screen rolls, tuck and run for 4

4x3= 1st down and change. Obviously a very simplistic and Monday a.m QB view on my part...but damn

I envy est start times...nothing before noon...late games at 8pm. I have an est game watching soul trapped in a pst home.

May have already been said but, when we had to burn a timeout before the clock had even ticked in the 2nd half I thought, "here we go"

There is a link to the actual score prediction thread in the second post.

Is there a link between this thread and the other one?

Ancient astronaut theorists say, yes
