TLS2 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I dont' know about anyone else but during the first half and part of the third quarter we saw some real, tough Nebraska football. It was exciting to watch our new kiddos take it to the Longhorns. Just think what it will be like next year when we get a new coach! I'm sorry but Callahan made a huge mistake in taking the play calling back during the second half. As long as Shawn Watson was calling the plays our offense was making gains. It seemed like the minute Callahan took over we started to self destruct. Anyway, it was exciting for awhile and who knows....maybe we can take this same energy to next week's game and actually win. Bowl Game still in our future?? Could be! TLS2 Quote Link to comment
GI56 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Did Callahan really call plays in the second half? Quote Link to comment
Captain K Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Did Callahan really call plays in the second half? I saw him looking at his card and talking to Keller. But, I think he was memorizing his "Coach of the Year" speech. Quote Link to comment
no_name_needed_2001 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Shawn Watson is the future! Quote Link to comment
NVAHusker Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 What about Nate Swift. Moves to # 4 in receptions. What an effort. GBR! GBR! Quote Link to comment
NU fan in Denver Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 If BC insists on calling plays for a half, maybe we can have him call plays the first half, hope we hang close then have Watson call them the second half so we can comeback and win. The first half was good, but the stall about midway through the third qtr until about 3 minutes left is really what lost us the game. Even a couple of drives to eat away the clock would have been better. Quote Link to comment
IlliniHusker Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I think we should let BC run the offense in ALL the OT periods and let Shawn Watson have just the first 4 quarters! Quote Link to comment
huskersals24 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 javorio burkes played well in his first start. that shows promise for the future of the o-line! Quote Link to comment
huskerpilot Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 The reason we lost, the only reason we lost, was that our defense gave out in the 4th quarter. We can talk O all day long, we had the points, that wasn't the problem. The root cause was a give out in the fourth. we were 17-9 in the forth, and gave up THAT many points. Quote Link to comment

I think part of the reason the D gave up that many points was that they were on the field quite a bit the second half. The O had a couple of three and outs, then a quick first down and three more plays and punt. In a game like this where you know your D isn't very good the O has to help them out and put points up and keep the clock moving. Quote Link to comment
izzyhusker Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 How do we know that Watson is calling the plays in the first half and not the second. It seems really strange that it would change like that. I don't think it's true. Quote Link to comment

TLS2 Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 All you have to do is look who is wearing the 'big' headphones. When Watson was calling the plays he was wearing those headphones and talking into the microphone. The tv camera would often pan him. But when the second half started you only saw Callahan doing so. They showed Watson maybe once and he had on a smaller headset. TLS2 How do we know that Watson is calling the plays in the first half and not the second.

The O needed to keep theirs off the field more. Quote Link to comment
