Red Dawn

If Oklahoma joins the Pac12 we could potentially play them in the Rose Bowl. How cool what that be?

Look at it as we arent calling all the plays we have in our playbook, so we can use them when we need them. The Dline isnt blitzing, running stunts or trying to be deceptive in any way. We are lining up and saying we are better then you, we dont have to trick you, or show you everything we got, we can line up and beat you with a limited number of plays because we have better athletes.

 

As far as offense goes, it seems like we are saving our plays and just being "vanilla" working on different things that we need to get down, doing enough to win the game. Why put all of our plays on film when you can just show what you need to get the job done? Especially with a new offense, this will be the only time to do this, no one knows what we have waiting to be unleashed. Bo doesnt care what the fans want, the fans want blowouts to feel all warm and fuzzy inside. But you see Bo is smart, and he has what you call a strategy. Its not a pipedream its a stragety. Well see alot of it this week, but the idea is to unleash it on conference opponents when it really matters. Time will tell if Bo's strategy will work.

 

Why would you run burkhead 30 times against a non con...dont you want to save him for the season? Why show off special plays out of the pistol and diamond? Just to impress the fans? Bo is smarter then that. If we were playing Oklahoma we would be playing alot differently. Yes, this happens every year, last year after the SDSU and KU games, out came the same crap, we suck we suck the world is coming to an end, and yet we went to the Big 12 Championship and played with the number 1 team in the land, and should have beat them. The year before we had Texas dead to rights, a team that went on to play for the NC. And in the beginning of the year, the same crap was said.....defense gives up too many yards we arent as good as last year...same crap different year.

I hope you are right. That's why they play the games, but are we holding back on how to block or tackle? I don't think that missed blocks and poor defensive play is strategy. I have had rose colored glasses for years and I traded them in for some clear ones this year. The competition in the B1G is a lot tougher than the Big 12. Burkhead needs to carry the ball more or #3 is going to get hurt and then we can kiss this season goodbye. QB #15 isn't ready, give the ball to 22 and let him take on the load. I am not suggesting wear him out just use him more. I don't think we suck or are a bad ball team, but some basics better start getting better or we are in for a tough season.

Bo isn't holding any cards. We have seen what we are going to get. If he was holding Aces he would play them. He is a line up and stop me type of coach. Get ready for a few tough losses this year unless to O-line starts to grow quickly. The D got thrashed on Saturday. If we have so much lateral speed then load the box and make them run laterally. Any sacks? I haven't been impressed and am fairly confident we have seen our new offense. It has happened for many years now? Wisconsin is going to be UGLY and it doesn't get much easier from there.

 

You might be right about the Wisconsin game being ugly, but where do you get that it doesn't get much easier from there? Ohio State nearly drizzled one down their leg to Toledo. Minnesota? Northwestern? Iowa lost to Iowa State. We may very well have a couple of tough losses this year. However, our schedule isn't something that really should scare anyone.

I am just saying that we don't look fundamentally strong and the hope that we are holding cards to our chest is a pipedream. Our O line and D Line got handled by a decent team and we will be facing equal or stiffer competition in the weeks ahead. Our offense hasn't improved much if at all and if we don't start using Burkhead more often it is not going to get better. #22 needs to get in a groove to be dangerous and he needs to carry the ball 20+ times to get there. He is a huge threat if used. #3 seems to think he can do it alone, he needs to spread the ball around and use his whole team. I want us to win as much as anyone but without some major improvements we might be a 7 or 8 win team this season.

I just checked the BTN schedule on Directv for Saturday and nothing has been posted yet.

Channels 609,611,612 are still blank. They are the BTN Alternative channels. I would hope we will know what channel by mid week.

Wow, Red Dawn. Be proud of yourself. You just attacked a kid on the internet. How manly.

 

I'd like you to take snaps behind that O-line and see how well you do.

 

Our QB is not the moron in this thread.

Better than him and better than you.

This isn't gymnastics or dance. This is football, I get so sick of all the feel good posters that say this crap. The kid sucks and if that can't be said with out getting some puss like you spewing your crap-love fest-I am a holier than though NU fan, then too freakin' bad.

Let me start Im not trying to pump sunshine,

 

We lost.

It sucks.

Im pissed.

 

but seriously I come on here just to check the site out and see what people are saying and all I see is

 

-fire watson

-lee sucks

-blaming a player for losing a game, different people picking different players

 

It makes me sick especially the name calling and blaming of players, things like calling Asante a Thug are completely uncalled for. It's frustrating for all of Husker Nation but I would like to come on here one time after a loss and not see half this board picking apart husker nation and throwing someone under the bus.

 

I realize people will always take out their frustration on here right after a game, but use your heads before posting and making the whole fan base look stupid.

 

Go Big Red!

Gay^^^^ add a lisp while you read this and watch out.

 

You couldn't find one of the gazillion other threads about him? You felt compelled to start your own?

I couldn't help myself, maybe he will declare for the NFL draft early.

Zach Lee is the worst QB to ever take snaps at Nebraska, period. He is worse than Jamal Lord and Mickey Joseph combined. He slides on FKing running plays! He makes no effort for YAC and a pass play should be redefined in our play book as a 'forward fumble' attempt. This ass clown couldn't start at Metro Tech if they fielded a football team. The only reason he played in High School is because of his old man.

JIMINY CRICKET!!!!!!!!!!!

F**K!

Watson is awesome!

Don't you have something else to do?

That was sarcasm. I hate him as much as you do. Friends?

Watson? Watson hates my heart and is trying to kill it.

Watson is awesome!

Our O Line is awesome!

Biggest gain of the day...almost. Go O!

Why the hell do we insist on burning through our timeouts so quickly? Get them the damn play, get out the huddle for christ's sake!

The playbook is too complicated, I guess?

Pelini is going to pop. Watch out for the 15 yard unsportsmanlike on the Coach coming soon!

Almost in field goal range. Come on Henery!

Nice catch?

Our O-Line seems to look small.

Wassup Gomes.

Gomes is going to be the player of the day.

The took away Paul's shoulder pads and switched them out for maxi-pads.

 

That's a stupid statement today, he's 6 yards away from breaking the single game receiving record already.

 

He came back in, got the wind knocked out.

He is always nursing something. I am not a fan of Mr. Paul.

Go Hawkeyes!
