And when your primary read is almost always open.

One game is always the best way to judge any QB, obviously... I love the way TA looked, and I also thought Kellogg played really, really well. TM is still the best quarterback on Nebraska's roster. Obviously that toe is a big concern, because you take away that running ability and you take away a lot of what TM can do. If TM still can't run very well, is he the guy you want just sitting in the pocket throwing the football? I don't know. Turf toe doesn't just affect his ability to run either. It affects his ability to plant the foot and throw. If the injury is affecting him at all, I think you take him out of the game. If he's fully healthy though, cut him loose - he's one of the most dangerous players in college football.

I'm as happy as anybody that our QB play looked so good today. But it's beyond ridiculous to start calling for a starter change based on this game. It was South Dakota State. Our players, across the board, are bigger, stronger, and faster. By a lot. SDSU had no chance on defense today. Go back, watch the film, and watch our offensive line obliterate their front seven. Our WR's consistently had a step on the coverage. I guarantee our offensive line will not look like that in Big Ten play, nor will our WRs will be that open, and I guarantee that none of our QBs (including TM) will look that good when they play a Big Ten defense. As far as our offense was concerned, today was as revealing as the Red-White game. Lots of reason to be optimistic and excited, but it ultimately tells us very little about the team.

They shouldn't read these boards. Athletes and celebrities have said not to read about yourself for a long, long time before message boards and social media were even around.

Nate Gerry getting targeted on that flare pattern. Made the same mistake as Alfalava the play before. Or maybe it was the MIKE's responsiblity. Either way, same bust two plays in a row.

man, newby just spidermanned his way into the endzone

HOLD ON TO THE BALL

I think Kenny is beat up too. I remember seeing him favoring a wrist or forearm in an earlier game. The drop today and that fumble - uncharacteristic.

Lots of talk about the QB play. It's significantly improved, no doubt. If Taylor remains beat up, they should start Armstrong or Kellog, even in B1G play. If Taylor gets healthy, I'd be fine seeing what he brings to the table. That said, lots of fans are missing the biggest difference in the offense today: the offensive line. They are obliterating SDSU's defense so far.

That is the scheme ... and I hate it That is NOT the scheme. You didn't see Jared Crick or Ndamukong Suh ever play like that.

Great to see the offense getting its mojo back this week. Hope the defense can continue to feed off that energy and momentum.

our guys have no clue how to fit in the run game.

I can't believe how bad Thad Randle looks.

randle in the wrong gap

At this point, I HOPE that's the headline

Zenner over/under 250 yards rushing

:facepalm: :facepalm: no adjustments on defense since last week.

It looks like it will be fun to watch TA today, but this won't start a QB controversy. We are destroying their front seven so far.

You are wrong about one thing - this isn't their Super Bowl. Next week, they play North Dakota State. That's a bigger, more important game to SDSU fans and players than Nebraska. Frankly, I'd rather have Nebraska be their Super Bowl. The way it is now, they'll play with a lot of fire, passion, and they'll really want to beat us - but they're not going to be tight. They'll play loose. I think the 2013 team is worse...

No I agree, it's just the wording and the image I got from it that I found funny. I see Bo looking something like this: And the tipster's reaction when he finds out that Bo knows he was the leak:

Brian Christopherson ‏@HuskerExtraBC14m Martinez did not practice. If game was today, Pelini said Tommy Armstrong would likely start. #Huskers

I wouldn't normally take this seriously right now, but earlier tonight I realized that Harvey Perlman looks a lot like someone else who had no trouble eliminating anybody who wronged him.

Not going to happen. We're not going to offer the job to a guy who's only been a coordinator for a year, but if he were to get that offer, he'd be absolutely nuts not to take it (or he'd have to know that he's a few short years from the Oregon job).

I'm not in total disagreement with you, but Bob Devaney wasn't a Nebraska guy. If you find the right guy, they can fit the culture irregardless of whether they've been here before or not. Shawn Eichorst is an example of that - he's not a Nebraska guy, but so far he seems to understand what it's about much better than Pederson.
