I'm a bit concerned. 

Close game (chasing 3) the ST play could mean the difference between a W or L. Punt returns and KO returns have been a pleasant surprise for sure.

I learned that Deion has zero self awareness (ok, I already knew that)

 

 

Gotta self promote, even when your team is imploding.

I took CU under 5.5 wins on the year...

 

If they lose at CSU this weekend they might totally implode.

 

I can see SS not playing out the season in order to "get ready for the draft".

Just curious…no one thinks that our special teams are a concern? Blocked punt, missed field goal, oh help me God points after, and unimaginative returns! I am willing to bet that special teams will end up costing us a game or two this season. Hope I am wrong.

 

I for one am shocked that this is what you choose to focus on.

The kickoff coverage on Horn's long return also raised a bit of concern.

Punt returns have gotten better.  I didn't like what a I saw on kick returns but it will get better.  Gbr

I learned to board can break the night before the biggest game of the first half of the season.  All I wanted to do is talk Husker FB on Friday night.  I truly do not have a life if all I want to do is hangout with you guys.

 

BUT....we must have been bad since the board was down and we were hacked by the Russians.

Missing field goals is absolutely a concern. The look on Rhule's face on that miss said a lot.

 

The tipped punt will probably be an anomaly down the stretch.

The field goal was absolutely ridiculous. I don't care if we can't make 50+ yarders, just please for the love of god just find someone who is money from the 35 in and I can live with whatever from any greater distance. This is pathetic.

 

Also, the kick return team was sus, but we probably won't face many more dynamic returners until USC or tOSU.

Why are you shocked. Our defense is playing very well. We have a very good QB and our offense is moving the ball. The only weakness is our special teams play so far. Am I missing something?

Alvano simply not the guy. The stage is too big for him. Could be wrong but 2 years of consistent misses from less than 40 yards is a pretty telling trend.

All of us at the Oklahoma Cornhusker Club were yelling at the TVs on that one. Total incompetence or blatant favoritism by the refs on that one - among others.
