I believe Ed Cunningham should actually be on the Big 12 payroll. He could be on the "Bad call" police patrol. He could have a little badge and a monitor with a microphone to discuss, in depth the details of why "He" thinks the hit was illegal, and he could wear a striped shirt if he wants. He can start with this video of the Oklahoma vs Colorado game last week. If you notice at the 5:58 mark, you will see Kenny Stills of Oklahoma CLEARLY hit an unsuspecting Terrel Smith of Colorado, helmet to helmet and then push him off with his hands. No call, and by the way this game was full of no calls on the Sooners, crack backs, blocking in the back, the list was long.

Oh yeah, I win...best movie EVER!

alright this was lame, but it was OKieLite. Now that the Black and Blue game is coming up, lets get this party started..

Hey I was at the Lincoln Airport this afternoon when this arrived. Guess Suh donated some more fire power to the defense

I know everyone saw this movie...

or get juked at the line by a "pocket pass quarterback" really? Should have benched him then, he looked foolish and was an embarrassment to the blackshirts.

My bad, you're correct, it was a 3 score game. If you can't see how we had a different attack with Lee in the game, or Green in the game compared to Martinez, I don't know what to say. Martinez can't run everything the other guys can. He compensates with his feet. Whether that compensation is enough is the big question. I did not say Zac Lee was a good runner. You said he was slow, and I called you out on it. Zac is fast. Not as fast as Taylor, but he's not lumbering. Zac has been good at making the right reads in the zone read, including last season. See the Arizona game. I am just dealing with a reality where Martinez isn't a savior, and Zac Lee doesn't suck, because neither of those (or their opposites) are the truth. Despite the free yards in penalties, Lee did move the ball down the field. Yes it only ended 3 pts, BUT it took almost 3 quarters to get 3 points with Martinez running the show. Im not saying Martinez is a terrible QB, but I think starting as a redshirt freshman in this offense is a mistake. I could give 2 craps how many yards per game or rush he has, he faced a good defense and got stuffed big time. All those other teams had terrible defenses, personally i wouldve surprised to see Martinez run loose against Texas. Ive said this from the start of fall camp. Start Lee, let Martinez come in a get some snaps, whether its at running back, wide receiver, or quarterback. Tell me exactly what Zac Lee does differently in the 1st half that gets us more points? Well he got positive yards everytime he ran the zone read. It may have been 3-4 yards, but thats about 5 yards more than Taylor was getting. 2nd and 6, is a huge difference than 2nd and 9 or 2nd and 12. Lee: 10 attempts for 28 yards 2.8 ypc Martinez: 13 attempts for 39 yards 3.0 ypc I think you forgot include yards lost.... Martinez 13-21 Lee 10-25. This just further proves my point. Regardless Lee did that in 1 quarter, Martinez did that in 3 quarters. Ummm...no. What I forgot was that Lee got 25 yds, not 28. Those rushing numbers are NET. They include yards lost. I think everyone is trying to say that Lee was more efficient as a runner. That's not the case. Lee was also 4-9 for 14 yds as a passer, vs 4-12 for Martinez for 63 yds. So, Lee got 19 plays in which he threw or ran the ball, for 39 yds. Martinez got 25 plays for 102. So the workload was similar, and Martinez was more productive. I didn't see Lee's 'Senior moxie' translating into any more production than TMart's 'deer in the headlights' Totally agree. The only difference was that Lee's decision making was a little faster and Texas could care less if Lee ran the ball. No threat. Martinez is not so fast that he could throw the ball and then run under it himself and catch it too. The receivers may be great at down field blocking, but please, someone get them ready to do a complete game.

alright, here we go again

Sorry, images are small, new to Photoshop. I will try to enlarge them

I have to agree with Husker_bassit, in the first place the game writers only produce 6 maybe 10 generic images of fictitious people. Much like the people in the stands. You could argue "Hey EA Sports and the NCAA, that's my seat in the background, and it looks like you used the image for my seat in ALL of your stadiums! You owe me for my generic image. I know this to be true so pay up even though its a women sitting there. Its still my seat!" Maybe we should all join Keller in quest for his Holy grail, after all didn't I see section 16 row 10 seats 5 and 6 in the video? Who's with me....

I too have some concerns about the D's ability to get penetration. The lack of linebacker (big linebackers) worries me down the road when we face better backs. My concern was the offense and its inability to adjust. If I saw 2 spies on Martinez, do you think Watson did? They had 2 linebacker spies on TMart the majority of the time, why did we continue with the spread zone read? Why not just go to an I formation and pound it at them? This would have relieve the pressure and maybe opened up the game a little more.

Not real good at this yet, but here we go

Yeah, hows that $20 million guarantee going for ya Dan. Do you need a ride to the bank to cover?

He's still mad about being Trev's whipping post for so long...

Who's "Ne"?

Friends of the Husker faithful, did you not see all the players today? Why do we care if we won by 21pts. I care that we played so many. This team needs to build depth if it is going to return to the glory that is Husker football! Rejoice! From what I have seen of Washington, it will be a beat down and we will enter conference play 4 and 0 and Texas will be our b**t**.

I hope you wrote the tech's name down, I have had DirecTV for 9 years, they always thank me for my patronage and then try to charge me $5 to order the game because they never have Nebraska games available to order on their website. I went to cellphones years ago so I don't have a phone line attached. I dread calling every time, its stupid that you have to argue that they are the ones that advertise "ordering is so easy, just call or visit our website". I can't wait until we go to the Big Ten and I will not have to deal with this PPV anymore.

I concur, I can't believe this thread got as far as it did. Cody will be a great QB, he is developing well and will see significant play time in his career. Maybe not as a starter but a contributor either way.

Thanks but I was looking for a message board, not an "ode to Penn State". You know, something like this board.

Just trying to gauge their response to the permanent crossover game and about the league is trying to make it a rivalry...but I can't find a decent board to view. Any Nittany Lions out there?

Really? Sounds like a TexAs* Troll trying to stir something up. Who starts a sentence with the word "AnywayS" Obviously someone with a sub-par education, therefore, you must be from TexAs*

Chris Whaley, Aaron Green, who's next. Will we be able to bring in top running backs to the program now that we are going to the Big Ten. The league is more like the old Big 8 in that they do rely on the run game more than the "spread". I don't mean to say that they don't throw the ball around, and they do more zone read, but with the SEC relying on a rush option, can we attract the talent we used too.
