These kinds of posts drive me nuts. Why isn't he ready to be an offensive coordinator? Because he's a receivers coach? What, he's not smart enough to change hats? This is football, not rocket science. Chip Kelly didn't play a down of football in his life. He was a DEFENSIVE coordinator early in his career. He was then a positions coach on offense for four years before becoming an offensive coordinator. He was an instant success as OC setting records at New Hampshire. Here at Oregon, he reminds me of the glory days at DONU with 500 yards rushing and 50 points a game. But why would anybody at Nebraska want that?

Throw in something about penalties, dropped passes, getting outcoached and the embarrassment of being pushed around by Northwestern and you've covered everything I thought of during the game. I, like you, was livid with the offense. They ran with a tired back on obvious running downs and passed on obvious passing downs. I still cannot figure out by the Pelinis will not blitz the QB. Why do they continue to think they can get enough pressure on the QB with four down lineman?

'93 against Free Shoes University. We got jobbed by the refs. Last year's Texas game was tough too. A bunch of games against Oklahoma in the mid-80s come to mind as well.

There were some who felt he wasn't seasoned enough to coach at DONU. Seems like a fun coach nevertheless.

A video of Scott Frost working with his receivers at Oregon. It's in today's Eugene Register Guard. Pretty cool how he covers his receivers during practice. http://www2.registerguard.com/cms/index.php/duck-football/comments/video-feature-frosts-freshmen/

I would hope Big 10 fans would realize this too. Nebraska vs Oklahoma is not only a Nebraska tradition...its a College Football Tradition. Now that this games is going to be played VERY RARELY, you take advantage of it whenever you can. Who cares if it disrupts the Rose Bowl and the B1G vs Pac 12 tradition. Nebraska vs Oklahoma is bigger and more important than that. The Rose Bowl could hypothetically play B1G vs Pac 12 every year for the next 100+ years. Nebraska vs Oklahoma might happen 2-3 times the next 100 years. You play NU vs OU in the Rose Bowl. Then put them together in the CarQuest Bowl. The Rose Bowl is between the Pac 12 and Big 10. Period. And keep this in mind. Oklahoma DUMPED us as a rival when the Big 12 got together. They kept their rivalry with Texas.

Both of those games are scary. Apparently teams in the Big 10 play WAY better at home than on the road as evidenced over the past 2 weeks. I hope the D that showed today wasn't a one time thing or else we'll lose both of those games.

Did I miss them talking about Taylor hurting his hand or did they miss it? I noticed Pelini checking it out and then saw Taylor handing balls off the way Carson Palmer did a few years ago when he hurt his thumb.

Maybe he's never seen an actual woman.... That was exactly my thought when I read his post.

How does a guy named "Pornhusker" not know that's a chick?

this might be true, but our 'd' was turning it around. he got injured on a sack, after all. No he did not. He got injured trying to cut up field.

Geez, I said this about Boise last year and got ripped. It was in regards to Nebraska wanting a 2 for 1 home and away with Boise. I defended Boise for saying no. Good to see others agree Boise is better than DONU right now.

Well to be fair, QB's are supposed to be able to throw.. Go back and watch some video of Tommie Frazier. He wasn't a good thrower and he threw some bad picks himself. It was very helpful to him that he played on a team with a really good defense and really good o-line. These are things Taylor Martinez does not have. We can blame this loss on Taylor all we want, but that doesn't explain the odd play calling and the defense giving up nearly 500 yards. Let's face facts and realize that this team isn't very good. At least not as good as we had hoped going into the season. Hopefully it can get turned around.

Penn State won the Big 10 in 1994. It didn't take them very long at all.

I doubt it's on BTN when Versus has the rights to the game. Versus is channel 603 on your DirecTv dial.

Apparently Little Gabby has left Louisville with eyes on returning to Mizzou. It was also stated that Mizzou is not interested. Oh, Little Gabby, just imagine how your life would look if you weren't so enthralled with helicopters. http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/view/295710-gabbert-leaving-louisville-for-mizzou?eref=sihp&sct=hp_bf2_a12

I have DirecTV and the Big 10 Network had multiples games on at the same time with alternate channels. They also have the games in excellent HD. Their HD looked superior to ESPN's to my old eyeballs.

While you're watching that highlight tape of Carnes, think about how Western Kentucky was his best offer before DONU snagged him the last days of recruiting last season. As for Bubba, hearing that the all star game playbook had to be dumbed down for him was all I needed to know. If he can't figure out an already dumbed down all star game playbook, what makes you think he is bright enough to run DONU's offense? But who am I kidding? He's our next Carl Crawford. I wish the kid luck. Whine all you want about Martinez, but he was great prior to getting hurt. His passing motion needs TONS of work as it is way too slow to be effective on a consistent basis. He also needs to learn how to hold onto the ball and when to throw the ball out of bounds. Green seems like a really nice kid who isn't good enough to play QB at an upper echelon D-1 school. He's a poor passer and slow footed. Nobody knows what Turner and Spano can bring. Spano wasn't highly regarded out of high school and can't stay healthy. Turner wasn't recruited as a QB except by DONU. Our QBs all have major flaws. Hopefully a few of them can develop into good college quarterbacks. I have my doubts that any of them will be good enough to get us into the NC.

I seem to remember Crowton's offense doing some good work against DONU back in '98.

Starling needs to shut up. Dumbing down an All Star game playbook is pretty embarrassing considering those playbooks are already dumbed down.

I don't see why anybody is upset with the offense. I scored tons of points with only 8 plays on Techmo Bowl

Apparently a lot of people have forgotten how bad the offense was last year and how awesome Martinez was early in the year.

Sometimes you just want something too badly and you choke. It happens to us all no matter our age.

In his defense, the receiver was wide open.
