From the little I watched of this game I feel that Miles is a playmaker or two from having a respectable squad that the fans will show up and enjoy watching. Holding Creighton to 64 points is something to be happy with just need a few guys who can makes things happen on the offensive side when hit a slump like we so often do.

 

That will be their lowest total all season.

Agreed. Nebraska still shows that up in your face defense they played when Doc was around but like I stated before MIles just needs those couple playmakers and things will really begin to turn around for this program.

On the right path. Miles is a good coach. Just a matter of time.

Miles has everything he needs facility wise. Once he starts winning games the fans will come. I have always been a huge UNC fan but have always wanted a good Nebraska Basketball program to root for. Hopefully he can get things turned around. Would be great for the state to have a rivalry and a good one with Nebraska vs Creighton

Maybe this is the wrong comparison but I see a little of Demarrio Williams in him. Either way we need this guy

I agree with this theory on several levels.

 

1. NU has lost some definitive swagger or confidence or fight. You can't have pride and let that happen.

2. The COACHES CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN. They invented the four corners in basketball for just this reason.

3. You can blame the Defense certainly. But this is a team sport. The offense HAS to milk the clock and stave off the opponent as much as possible. Bo's offenses have been incapable of this.

4. Playing for the Team or playing for the coach -- whatever the reason -- NU's teams under Bo are SOFT. Mentally in particularly.

 

Again, I think this comes back to having faith in the coaches. When you believe the coaches will find a way to put you in position to succeed it is psychologically empowering. I think this team looks over at the sideline and doesn't feel that way.

This is something that i have noticed more and more. Not necessarliy the whole team but I think we are wayyy too soft in the trenches. The talyor martinez body slam comes to mind. I know people hate to refer back to the 90's as those days are long gone but if this would have happened to Frazier or Frost I believe the O-Line back in those days would have taken huge exception with that. Not that this years line didn't but there would have been a brawl on the field if that had happened to a QB when we had the Pipeline.

I know that the school I attended had 2 separate drug tests. The school itself administered a drug test for the street drugs and we also had an outised agency come in and administer tests for PED's. This may not directly answer your question becuase I did not play college football but I attended a small division 1 school and this is the way things happened there. Hope this helps

Absolutely will not watch an alabama/lsu rematch. One week of hype for the first game was too much for me. Give OSU a shot

You guys can say all you want about the coaches... but this one is on the players. The players are in position, they just cant tackle. There is only so much you can teach to help tackling.... the rest is on the players. But when you have this many turnovers on special teams and offense there isnt much you can do. You can say that Bo didnt get them focused or whatever you guys want but i wont buy it simply because, and anyone who has ever played a sport will agree with me, 90% of being focused is on the players.

Obviously Rex, but i do think the d-line should get a huge pat on the back. This was the first game that they were constantly attacking the line of scrimmage. Cousins was running for his life almost every time he dropped back.

The triple option play run out of the diamond is just a glorified ZR play with the play side RB or FB blocking while the QB reads the backside DE. After the initial read, the qb then has runs a true pitch option and either keeps or pitches.

 

Edit: Here we go. A terrible PS job, but it works.

 

This is the play i was referring to above. Thanks for posting this image definitely makes it easier to understand for me. Going back to the point Enhance brought up would there be enough time to run something like this?

Looking at the above photos of the diamond formation made me think....

 

Is there anyway we could run the read with Taylor and either Green/Abdullah and if Taylor keeps run an option play in the other direction with Burkhead?

In theory that's a cool idea, but in reality I don't know if the time to do this would be available against better defenses. The fake to one of the running backs would have to be as quick as a triple option fake to the full back, and then you'd immediately have to run the option with Burkhead otherwise you'd risk being blown up in the back field. Taking the time to do a full zone read and then go with the option would be a long time.

This was my thought too but I wasn't sure. Figured someone here would be able to help me since I have very little background in football schemes.

The other issue is blocking. Now I'm not saying it couldn't work, but you'd definitely have to run the zone read to the same side you run the option, because trying to go back the other way would mean you have little blocking. Even if you pull linemen, it'd be a cluster-you-know-what on the LOS.

This was also somehting I had thought about but wasn't quite sure on how it would work exactly. If we have to pull lineman in order to run the opposite way of the read that would be a nightmare of confusion

People keep referring to our anemic offense in the big games the last few years...its hard to predict what would happen but where would we have been with an even remotely competent offense??

Watched last years holiday bowl from a bar in phoenix after a blizzard in New Mexico/Arizona forced the group of people I was traveling to the game with to stop at one of the kids parents condo down there. Woke up the next day and drove to Vegas for new years so at least I forgot about the game even happening

Just finished my second year of a road to glory and my Offense was ridiculously good! However, I ended up getting screwed out of the Heisman and no name from Iowa was who beat me. The numbers weren't even close.

 

Vandenberg: 218-339 3518 yds, 7 ints, 157 car 628 yds and 45 total tds

 

My guy: 186-264 4483 yds, 0 ints, 183 car 1137 yds and 68 total tds

 

I then proceeded to beat Iowa in the natl championship 62-17 so I paid him back!

Sometimes I think the game cares more about the number of completions to passes than the number of actual yards and production.

 

For example, if we all had votes for who should win the Heisman out of those two players, I think the overwhelming majority of people would vote for your player. Not only did the throw for more yards on fewer passes but he a much higher YPC average and was responsible for 23 more touchdowns. That's a landslide victory in this case.

 

However, I can't tell you how many times I've been in similar situations like you are describing, where my guy doesn't have the same amount of throws but does way more. The game seems to think a 17-32 passing game for 250 yards and a touchdown is better than a 10-12 passing game for 375 yards and two touchdowns.

Yeah... must just be how they set up the point system within the game.

my brother wants in on this too but he forgot his sign on info for the board so he wanted me to put a word in for him before it is full. He is going to make a new name on here if he cant remember his other one. his PSN name is longball114 and he wants texas am

finally remembered my sign on information...my psn name is longball14 instead of the one mentioned above
