Redout Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 This is just making me want to puke. This could get very scary. There's a little over eight minutes left and Jackson just fumbled again on the kickoff and KST has it again. KST going to put up 60 points on us. Snyder wont quit and I don't blame him. He needs some recruiting push with this victory. Our defense is sucking wind right now. Just a disaster Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 No doubt. It's cliched but everything that could go wrong went wrong in the second half. Turnovers = KSU win. And, no, the coaches didn't turn the ball over for the players. Nobody stepped up and made any kind of play to affect the outcome on either side of the ball today. I had some hope that the players were finally coming together on the offense last week. Those have been quickly dispatched this afternoon. *waits for the roar of ALL THE COACHES SUCK AND I KNOW THAT IF WE GET NEW COACHES EVERYTHING WIL BE FIXED INSTANTLY!!! from the Husker faithful* Quote Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Solich and the boys would of lost this one also. I can't believe we blew it against K-State again. It has to be the stripes on the paints. it could be worse we could have Ron Zook as our coach. Quote Link to comment

These guys have been giving up yards and points to everyone. I guess you kind of figured they were going to break out against someone, might as well been the Huskers. Everyone else has.

Yes, no fire, they don't care. You have to wonder if this goes back to the coaching changes. Are the players "revolting" somehow???? Davidson said that a few times during the game.

Pedro Guerrero Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 The thing that I think is funyy is when the captains were picked they all said that they do there talking on the field. Doesn't somebody need to get in some peoples faces and get it going. If you were making a team how many of these guys would you actually take? Quote Link to comment

roadrat Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 It's time to take some blackshirts away. Why not? This team doesn't resemble any husker team the last 35 years. No I'm not ready to sack the WCO, but I am ready to send Cosgrove and the rest of the defensive staff to wherever the Craig Bohls of the world go. Somehow these defensive coaches have turned an attacking defense into a defense that has mailed it in this year. Just adding another note, I keep hearing about recruiting all these offensive players, have we recruited anyone to play defense next year? Quote Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I believe the Juco kid is a DB and I think there is a 4 star LB from Oklahoma coming. We need more SPEED on defense. Quote Link to comment

And a better ability to play the ball in the air. Although I don't think that's what really hurt us today. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Here's a list of the recruits we have received "verbals" from, and the others we are pursuing: 2005 Recruits There are several Defensive players on the list. Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 We really need to recruit speed on defense. When we were winning championships, we had speed on defense to make up for a mistake here or there. They had play makers on defense in those years too. We don't seem to have that this year. Last year we D Williams that helped our defense greatly and Bullocks was a play maker. Now, I don't see anyone with great speed or anyone that is a playmaker. We need to get some of these kinds of players on defense. Quote Link to comment

We need to get some of these kinds of players on defense. In my opinion, there are 3 reasons why are defense isn't good this year. 1. cosgrove doesn't know the scheme's and how to coach the calls well(doesn't have the right guys playing) 2. Bullocks is hurt, fab is hurt. 3. The defense isn't trying. They really did love bo and wanted bo and cosgrove just isn't the same. They aren't playing with fire and are just going through the motions. Another thing that doesn't help is they always go half pads and don't work on tackling drills. Quote Link to comment
