He has a strange resemblance of Hannibal Lecter...

Is that really Randy Savage?

Him getting benched was the wrong move. He made some bad reads, but he also had some fine throws. Had them passes been caught, he never would have been benched. So in the end, we're benching him for something that isn't his fault. If he makes the right reads like Lee did, he busts them for huge gains. Lee is good for 3-5 yards on the Zone read. Taylor turns those into Touchdowns...if he makes the right reads.

 

Taylor made some really bad reads, but that was only part of the problem. Even when he made the right read, we couldn't get anything going because the Texas LBs and safeties were coming down to the line hard to stop the run. Lee made the right reads, and I'd have to go back and rewatch the game, but it seemed to me that the defense backed off a little when he came in because they were more concerned with his arm than his legs. What we really needed to do was play action them to death until they respected Taylor's arm, though obviously the drops killed that, too.

 

They said Taylor was getting frustrated, well... understandably so, but I still don't think it was at all necessary to pull him.

I normally agree with the things Bo does, but pulling Taylor was ABSOLUTELY the worst call to do (besides the onside kick). I rewatched the game tonight and Martinez had six dropped passes in the first half, three shortly after half. Four (three of them Niles..) of those passes could have been caught for touchdowns.

Another note, the plays that Lee was getting 5-6 yards on the zone read, T-Magic would have been getting 15-20 on them. He was getting those runs in the fourth quarter, when Texas's defense was getting tired. Leave Martinez in there as the defense wears down in the fourth and let him run wild.

Phew! (I think I could have went on for a little longer)

Thanks for posting, Andy. I would have loved to have gone down to Stillwater. I went down to Manhattan and enjoyed the heck out of it. I would think Stillwater would be just as enjoyable. Hopefully we, as Husker fans, can expect the same outcome as our last away game!

I was hoping to see somebody like Helu or Niles step up and be a leader this season. As far as I know, it sounds like Keith Williams has been the only one on offense (that I've heard of) to take charge of the team and do what needs to be done; when it needs to be done. I'll agree with you that there really hasn't been any on-field, offensive player to step up and fill that role that we need to have on the field, NOT on the sidelines.

I hope that this group of guys get the memory of the game out of their head and focus on this week. They don't have time to be feeling sorry for themselves. They have plenty more opportunities to prove their worth with the next big games coming up.

We have no advantage at all at home. Players come out flat for every home game it seems like. Big 10, just give us all away games please!

 

If we play like this the B10 is going to eat us for lunch.

 

Especially if Wisconsin plays like that against us in Camp Randall next year. They looked tough as nails

 

 

They would've absolutely gashed our D today.

 

Say what you will about the Big 10 and their speed. They got some tough guys running out there. Even Whitaker impressed me with his power running. Our guys just seem to go down whenever they are hit.

No doubt about that. Clay is a perfect fit for that style of offense-the guy runs with a purpose.

stroking their what?

 

Very, very nice. +1.

Ghost, no offense, but you really need to learn how to spell. I enjoy reading your posts, but dang.

I wasn't alive for the Scoring Explosion of '83, but I have two posters of that exact picture up in my house. Does that count for anything?

:bonesflag: :bonesflag:

I am so jacked for this game.. I can't seem to focus on anything except for tomorrow.

That's your house in the video, right? Awesome!

 

I think I remember reading a certain thread about a certain someone's house once..

The coverage from ABC for this game is still smaller than the coverage Amukamara has on the entire country..

Two-thirds of the world is covered by water, the other third is covered by Prince.

Well played, jsne83. Well played.

100 posts!!! Now, 101. Travel squad, here I come!

Texas 13

You heard it here first.

Did we lose Dreu Young for the season or does he have a chance to come back?

I think he's done for the season. If I'm remembering correctly, he had to have surgery on his back and I would think that the coaches would take every precaution with this kind of operation. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Props to Craigsker, the poster that kept this thread alive for 11 months!!! It is almost redemption time.

 

Thanks for the props...This game has been circled on my calendar since the CCG. Like all of us, I want redemption.

+1 goes to you, sir. Amazing job keeping this countdown going. GBR!

Can somebody hit the fast forward button to approximately 2:30 tomorrow? Thank you

Nice! I just got out of class and while walking to work I saw a car with New York plates decked out much like the car in your photo.

I'll be at the Weir track watching the game.

Let me know how that goes. I've always wondered what it would be like to watch a game there if I didn't have tickets and if they have vendors selling any pop, pizza, hot dog, etc.

 

Wonder if they'll let you bring lawn chairs

My roommate and I watched the first couple of minutes of the Virginia Tech game a couple of years ago at the track. It got really annoying hearing the stadium erupt and then have to wait five seconds to watch it on the screen.. We ended up buying tickets from a guy in front of the stadium. I'm pretty sure they let you bring chairs and everything onto the track infield, I could be wrong though.
