Eric the Red Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 More penalties than usual Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted September 11, 2004 Author Share Posted September 11, 2004 More penalties than last week.. But can anyone pick up on any bad play calling. Or at least anything glaring. We may have become a little to predictable on first down with the run, but in the second half we really started taking it to them. But it did seem as once we went to the pass we never went back to the run until another first was made or next series. Defense only let up one score. The long pass. The others were off turnovers that put the Blackshirts in tough positions Quote Link to comment
AR Husker Fan Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I have to give them a "B". Overall, I liked the game plan. I was impressed with the adjustments at half-time - whether it was alignments/play-calling/corrections verses getting the players to play with more effort I can't say, but that's the mark of a good coaching staff, the ability to find a way to adjust and play better in the second half. And as I noted in another thread, most if not all of the glaring errors from the first game were corrected. I also agree with Eric's assessment - we did seem to be a little predictable on first down, but I think that may have been deliberate, to take some pressure off Dailey. Overall, I'm pleased with the coaching. Can't remember who said it, but it sure does appear that we won't be out-coached with this crew on the sidelines. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted September 11, 2004 Author Share Posted September 11, 2004 I do believe we became predictable because we had too. But I was still trying guess what we were going to run. Can't remember who said it, but it sure does appear that we won't be out-coached with this crew on the sidelines. Oh by the way that was me. I'm conceded Quote Link to comment
AR Husker Fan Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 ***SNIP*** Oh by the way that was me. I'm conceded LOL! Yeah, but you were right, also! Quote Link to comment
HuskerBob Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 r u guys for real here?? they got an F'n D from me.. take off your big red goggles guys. this staff was severly outcoached this game so sorry red but your prdiction only made it through one wk of practice. heres why off the top of my fat head: -the play where we got delay of game - get the play in Call!! -sure adjusttments were made at halftime but not DURING the 2nd half. this is the mark of a true good coach. So miss adjusted to our hlaftime adjustments but cally and co didnt adjust N game. -wasted all of our TOs with 3 mins left in the game -and on and on and on.... i know there are more lets get serious guys Quote Link to comment
Redout Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Even with all these miscues, some the coaches, butu more so on the players. Did the coaches miss the block, knock the ball loose, or throw an interception. Nope. I'm not sure how prepared you can ever be for a defense that just blitzes as much as So miss did. From every where, every time. Our line did well considering them being with out a star and the amount of crap thrown at them. Husker Bob "chill till the next episode." Quote Link to comment
RedCountry Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 A C from me. And not just b/c it rhymes. I see both sides of it... kinda questioned some of the things Bob pointed out myself.. but overall Joe D just didnt get it done. And I doubt the coaches prepared him less this week than last... so it just comes down to execution,, and talent... which go hand in hand seemingly. Our braintrust is fine.. but Im not so sure you cant say the So Miss staff didnt outcoach ours. Yes they captilized on our misfortunes - which hopefully wont continue - but So Miss was very proficient - which is a credit to the way the coaches have the team practice. Overall this is how the ball bounces in a WCO system. We will be back at the top of the coaster here real soon. Quote Link to comment

RedCountry Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Well in that case heres some haiku for you redout: bulging pirate eye tick problem get looked at... might scare the girls. did that work?? Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 -the play where we got delay of game - get the play in Call!! Ah,the game I was watching the play was in Dailey just stalled while reading the defense. Why make adjustments when the players can't execute? This game came down to execution. The players have to make the play. Period. You have timeouts to take them. You can't hold them constantly thinking there is going to be a better time to take them. Then you would be complaining that he didn't take timeouts and was left with 1 or two. If you need them, take em. Period. Quote Link to comment

Props to So. Miss for taking the opportunity and running with it. I give a B because A's don't come easy. Quote Link to comment
HuskerBob Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 that may be true bout getting the play N but its BS about the TO theory. you always need at least one for the last min espcieally in a tight game when you know you wil need a score. this can really help a young QB minimize mistakes ina tuff situation like this - see the delay of game penatly.

Red November Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 BC KEPT HIM THROWING!!! The running game was working fine. Then, on the last chance, on 5 CONSECUTIVE DOWNS, he went for the endzone rather than get closer to the goal.Welcome to the Callahan era. We could have easily rushed for 350-400 yards and 15-20 passes as Cotton probably would have done. It appears Callahan in more interested in the 'WOW' factor. We continually put our defense in bad spots, the D played well overall which is encouraging. frank solichs team beat this team a year ago with less talent, bc is trying to wow the nebraska fans with the wco. he needed to quit being a pu&&y, and show what nebraska football is all about and run all over this usm defense. i think i had pork chop finishing around 169 yards on the ground. what is bc's problem, he needs to get his head in the "college" game and do what it takes to win. not try and wow us diehard nebraskans. am i right or am i wrong?

HuskerBob Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 finally someone wit some smarts. heres a couple more reasons for thos who still think the coaches didnt cost us this game -like RN said how many times did we go for it on 4th down around mid field when we couldve punted or even gone for a long FG??!!! this gave them great filed pos and put our d in a tough spot. -how bout a frickin run on the last drive of the game??!! we had 4 tries to get to the 2, we didnt need to throw it in the N zone every play. we had been dominating the ground game all day why not grind out a few yds and maybe get the 1st down on the 2!!!! thats all i got to say if you still think the coaches did an above average job in this game giving them a B or C you have your head too far up their asses.
