Forgive Me For Being An Optimist, But...

[TX-Husker-2011]

I can only see us getting better from here on. They're the toughest team we'll see all year. From here on out, we should win every single game. No excuses. Our troops will be ready next week.

Agreed. I thought the only other tough game would be Texas, but based on how they have played, we should kill them

[BaytownHusker]

If we can stop the run!!!!!!

[papersun87]

I'm completely with you. The only game on our schedule I see as a potential trouble spot is Texas A&M, with their crazy running game.

 

Wow, what a complete 180 from last season.

I think I'll drink this red kool aid.

 

Tough but winnable games against Texas and Mizzou but yeah, aside from a USC like beat down against OU in the Big 12 champ, I think we can win the rest.

[TX-Husker-2011]

Hopefully by the Big 12 'ship we'll be a bit more finely tuned and have a legit shot against those guys.

 

GBR!

I usually am an optimist too but the writing is on the wall. Cosgrove has the inept ability to coach a defense with a killer instinct let alone simple technique! Arm tackling (bad thing) and watching the cut back runs are taught at the highschool level and enhanced at the college level. It is clear that Cosgrove can't do it! Let alone coach it. I am as big of Husker fan loyal to my coaches as the next guy but it's quite clear Cosgrove has got to go!

The season's long. Here's to winning out, and by the time we hopefully face off against OU in the Big 12 championship, we'll be a team that can tackle.

 

And if that happens, all bets are off.

I'm not sold on that yet. The black skirts will have to learn how to play the game of football. At this point I'm hoping to pull out of this season with a 9-10 win season, with a north champ and a good bowl game to boost recruiting. But people, we've gotta look at the big picture. We don't want Big XII championships. We want National Championships.

 

This game was not progress. This was a step backwards. That, I think, scares me the most.

[hskrdedhed]

Atleast Missouri doesnt seem to have a running game and Texas looks less than great .....but Oklahoma?....OH BOY! They look pretty electric and I see them running the show in the south with ease.

[huskergar]

Oklahoma and Nebraska again in the Big 12 Title

Chug it down. It's delicious.

No, I don't think it was a step backwards. I think it was an unmasking of vulnerabilities. Our D was exposed out there, and so, I think, was our O-line (that, or Lucky).

 

We're far from where we want to be. Time to get started on the right track...I want to see better tackling next game...and against Missouri. If the staff and players are resilient enough, this team will pull through.

 

but yes, I agree...man, we need to tacke.

Our D was exposed with the Wake game if their coach would have just stuck with the run Nu would have had 1 loss going into this game. Lucky for us they kept trying to have that backup qb passing.

 

You watch and the d-line was just getting pushed all over holes as big as the pipe line use to make. Even when the LB were in position to make a tackle they would try to hand tackle and strip the ball instead of going body. ( where they get the idea that they can strip the ball every play? that has to be bad coaching)

They put 11 more points on us than they did on Idaho. We are terrible. The last 3 scores were gimmies, I think to me and most of the people who are involved in the rankings the score was 17-49 at best.
