Somebody needs to hold his feet to the fire.

hmmm...

I'm still a little concerned about defending a strong running attack. We got so far out in front of UW that they abandoned their game, but they had that one drive where they just shoved it down our throats in the first half.

But, at this point, that's all I'm concerned about... Would be a little more comfortable if we stopped with the fumbles, but it was much more solid than last week.

- Nobody is going to be able to throw the ball on our defense.

- Work is still needed as far as defending the run.

- Disagree with the OP about Burkhead. Great runner, but no better than Helu.

- This team will be very hard to beat if they can keep from shooting themselves in the foot.

So... yeah, Martinez is faster.

4/20, 71 yards, 1 td, 2 int for Todd McShay's lover.

I hate listening to the radio. Them and their stupid valentino's commercials just make me wish i was actually in nebraska.

This is a blown coverage and a stupid fumble away from being about 56-7.

And Cody just fumbled again.

epic fail mcneil.

That was the Ref's way of saying, "you're up by 28, i wanna go home, f#$@ you Bo."

Nice thing is that Martinez should only have to play about 2 series next week before resting the rest of the game. Then there's a week and a half before KSU, so he should be able to heal up.

just a little dinged up.

Ok, let's actually play some defense now.

:bonez :bonez

:throwdabones1: :throwdabones1:

Maybe if our offense recedes in to the shell they hid in last year, the defense will finally start playing to their potential.

Was that Rickey?

We need a TMAGIC emoticon. or snuffy, that'd be fine too.

Why are peopke dumbfounded by the Green decision.

 

T.O. Did it with his teams.. They said they were going to do this all week..

 

Green had a set of 15 plays practiced with the first team. He made a personal mistake and coughed the ball up.

 

I'm impressed that the kid ran with heart and stayed up.

 

If nothing else it's a great teaching moment.

It's not as though we won't need our backups at some point. Some of you couch coaches are so quick to throw people under the bus.

 

When you're a QB, you have to be smart. Trying to carry 11 people on your back is dumb.

 

Unless your name is Tommie Frazier

Exactly. People conveniently ignore that on his 75 yard TD run against Florida, he VERY nearly fumbled the ball. It's a fine line between greatness and stupid.

BTW, everyone's talking about Cody, but how about TMAGIC???!!! :koolaid2:

Kid has more poise than his veteran teammates, and is playing LIGHTS OUT. Just ridiculous.

I hope the coaching staff realizes that in tough road games, throwing in a back up QB on our OWN 20 yard line is not a smart choice. I think they will not do that again. Green did the same thing last week too. Came off the bench and the first play...fumble.

I liked the call! It just had a bad outcome in this instance. Your tune would be different if he drove the ball down the field.

 

Well so far the kid is 0-2 in first play drives while coming off the bench. So no tune changed here!

No... he's 3/4. He had 2 TD drives against Western Kentucky, a 1 play TD drive against Idaho, and fumbled today. He may have been in against Idaho at the end too, but I think Tray fumbled the ball at the goalline... Can't remember. The announcer today was wrong when he said he fumbled the snap of his one drive against Idaho though, unless I missed something he was talking about Niles Paul.

they need to quit letting green in it kills momentum. is it Bo's or watsons fault? (hopefully this hasnt been gone ovr)

I disagree with your line of thinking. A backup QB needs to get some meaningful snaps. The fumble by Green just makes it worse than it really was. When you have a running QB like Martinez, it is even MORE important than ever to get your back up in do to the increased chances of injury.

 

You don't give your backup a meaningful snap on the 5 yard line in his first road start since last year. He had problems with being rattled last year, what makes them think it'll be different in this thundering stadium? You give it to him after your kickoff guy runs it to the 50 maybe. Or in the 2nd half. Not on your 5 yardline.

If you give it to him in those other scenarios, it's no longer as meaningful of a snap.

If Taylor had been the one that fumbled the ball, everyone would've said, "See this is why Zac Lee should be the starter." If Lee had fumbled that ball, everyone would say, "See, why didn't you put Cody in instead of Lee?" Cody fumbled, it sucked, but hey, as long as Bo still has something to be angry about after the game, we're in good shape for next week.

Also, that long TD drive where they rammed it down our throats should be a good lesson before Kansas State.

Now let's just keep the offense rolling, keep Locker in panic mode, and walk away with a big win.

anyone bshing the qb decision can shut up, Bo said the plan going in was for Cody to come in in the second quarter, cody came in in the second quarter.

 

You can shut up, it doesn't make sense to pull out a guy who's in the flow when you're dominating and you have the ball so close to your own goal line.

 

Plans can, and should be, adjusted.

Yeah exactly. I think it was a dumb call. So you agree with the coach and the coach never makes mistakes so suddenly you are NOT a couch coach because you agree with the coach? We have the right to criticize a questionable decision. It's a message board. So don't come in here and yell at us to shut up. You don't like complaining then call your mom during game time.

It wasn't a dumb decision. They've made the same decision the last two games, and Cody led TD drives. Here he fumbled trying to gain an extra yard, and that's what was stupid, not the fact that they put him in the game. He messed up and that's unfortunate... oh my god Jesse Palmer just called us the "Blackhawk defense."

O-line looks like garbage. get it fixed, barney.

Alright, now just keep the gas pedal down. No letting up.
