NU fan in Denver

same as a punt.

Except we don't have time for a punt. D needs to force a TO or a quick 3 and out.

You people make me laugh. Most people weren't even expecting this to be a game and then when Nebraska hangs with a team that was 5 yards from going to the NC its still not good enough...

Who you calling You People

So much for running the ball.

of course, one play

at least the D gets a rest. Been out there a lot already

Congrats Beck, you noticed that they have a poor run defense. Good job man, it's only been all over the internet for weeks.

According to the coaches, they don't read the internet.

Hand the ball off the the RB's

Embarrassing

It is indeed. 4 of those losses are by our defensive-minded head coach. I figured there would be more by BC.

You have to remember that CG never had the benefit of a redshirt season. He was thrust into his first starting action against OU, I believe. The lights are pretty bright for TM as well, He is 0-4 in CCG and Bowl games.

Please stop making excuses for Green... He was a fumbling machine (Martinez is too) without any big play ability whatsoever. Martinez may be 0-4 in those situations, but he has gotten us further than Green ever would have.

Not making any excuses for green. Watched the bowl game. Looked ok, but got the win. Sorry if you have a problem with Facts.

Nah his first action was mop-up duty in the first game of his freshman year. His first play was something like a read option keeper where he ripped off like 40-60 yards down the sideline. We should've kept CG. The kid was undefeated as a starter at Nebraska. All we had to do was let him take the first snap of every game and we would've won multiple titles by now.

As was mentioned above, Jamal went over to Borland to say something, so it did appear SOMEONE on the team cared about Martinez. And I dont believe the slam was that bad. Yes, it looked awful, but having watched it again a few times, I'm giving Borland a little slack. When Borland and Martinez came into contact with eachother, neither seemed to have enough momentum to move the other, resulting in the little spinning move they both did when Borland had wrapped up Taylor. When you have a guy wrapped, and you have no momentum to tackle, the only thing you can do is pick the other guy up (or sweep the leg?). The spinning they were doing probably caused the suplex. Or whatever, I dont know.

Biggest problem with the TM play is not really the hit. It's that nobody from our team seemed to give a sh#t that it happened.

I totally agree. The players actions and emotions after that play were indicative of the whole game. Very lackluster and lackadaisical. No one stepped up to protect their QB. It would have been completely justified if a player came flying in after the play and blindsided the LB. Game was out of hand, now you have to play for pride and for each other. It was disappointing to see the QB have to protect himself.

Way to prepare. Out coached completely. Team had no fire till 4th qtr

Here's another one though. What about the one on Northwestern final TD drive where they picked up 9 yards on a 3rd down, and they called a defensive holding on us. They tacked the penalty on to the end of the run. Sharp and Davison were flabbergasted. Isnt it either get the play or get the penalty? They turned a 9 yard gain into 24, and pretty much allowed for that last TD.

The only thing I can think of here is if it was enough for it to technically be a personal foul, which would be applied to the end of the play?

 

I thought the officials had a poor game. On the 4th down we went for, we lined up and snapped the ball. They came running in and stopped the play and reset the clock, but never explained why? This allowed Northwestern to see the formation we wanted to run, get set and make adjustments. We probably wouldn't of gotten it anyway, but it's something little that pisses me of off.

 

Another thing that happened was when we stopped Northwestern on 3rd down about 2 feet short of the first down. For some reason the officials came on to measure, even though it was obvious that it was nowhere near a first down. The extra time for measurement pretty much gave Northwestern a free timeout, and time to decide if they wanted to go for it, rather than being hurried to make a decision of going for it or not.

 

It's just annoying.

That's called a smart move by the NW coaching staff. They are allowed to ask for a measurement and the refs proceeded to grant their request.

A bonehead move by the NU coaching staff is calling a timeout on 4th down with 10 seconds left in the half. This essentially forced us to punt the ball. Instead, he should have let the clock tick down to 3 seconds left then burned the TO. This would have allowed us to do the following:

1. Attempt a fg w/o the reprocussions of NW getting the ball at midfield if missed.

2. Throw a hail mary at the end of the half (hey it worked for South Carolina last year)

3. Take the snap on 4th down and throw the ball out of bounds, eliminating the remaining time in the half.

Pelini has very poor game/clock management skills and we got away w/ this game.

I do think the refs jobbed us on this one, I thought he foul was post possession, which should have given us the ball then marched 15 yards back from the recovery spot.

Sit him. Let him heal 100% and get him ready for the combine. NU owes him that. He has given his all for NU. He has nothing left to prove IMO.

We have already let him heal to 100% according to Pelini or else he would have never played.

"I would say right now he’s doubtful," Pelini said. "I want to make sure he's absolutely 100 percent before we put him back there. But you know, he’s champing at the bit to get out there. We’ll just see how the next 48 hours play out.”

Journal Star

It's obvious that he is being rushed back too quickly, which will more than likely ruin his sr. season.

Taylor will be the first one to tell you that his play was partly to blame for the loss. But despite that, this loss was more than just his play.

I thought about this saying as osu crossed 50
