You know, if Callahan would had been willing to ditch his DC for one more competent, he'd still be coaching here, right?
It's the same damn situation again, only we're asking our HC to ditch the OC. If Bo does and gets one that's competent, we're rolling in titles and laughing about all of this.
The defense is worse than the offense. Bo has broken multiple Coz records for futility. The single game rushing record set Saturday may stand for 50 years.
The defense got put on an island because the offense wasn't doing it's job and couldn't sustain a drive to save Beck's multi-dimensional soul. The offense needed to hold up their end of the bargain, and that is what failed. If Nebraska keeps Wisky off the field, then Gordon doesn't have an opportunity to run the ball.
If you'd like to discuss the mental toughness of our defense or the lack of impact our sports psychology folks have had on our kids since the late 90s, then you'd be on to something. But our offense put our defense in a position to fail, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
Had the offense been merely competent, we win this game, and Gordon doesn't sniff 250...because Wisky wouldn't have the reps on the offensive side of the ball to do it.
I completely disagree. We were up 17-3 with momentum. The offense got us out to a nice lead. The defense was not on an island. The defense flunked the test. 600 yards of offense was on Bo's defense. They had just 7 completions. The way they kept gashing our defense running the ball and scoring TDs put all the pressure on our offense. And since they decided to key on Ameer, they enforced more pressure on Tommy to make the plays. With that strategy, they were not disappointed. I'm not trying to nitpick. This was a defensive disaster.
yes but how did they get up 17-3 oh thats right, the defence forced turnovers and gave Becks offence a short field. i agree the offence has as much or more of the blame for Saturday.
