I guess the 3 INT's turning into 21 points doesn't hinder the offense does it? Just like TO said in his press conference, it's the turnovers that have killed us this season. Yeah, the defense is bad. However, the offense made the defense look a lot worse than it really was this year. In 2002, it was the same. We were up by 11 at half, so yeah let's keep throwing the rock around until some bad things happen. When you pass the ball, 3 things are possible and 2 of them are bad. Good grief, run the ball and kill some clock.

 

 

Junior has it nailed. You can't blame it totally on the defense at Boulder. The offensive play calling in the second half absolutely stunk. The WHOLE tenor of the game changed with that first interception and run back. The Husker were staggered and CU was sky high. The next one, that gave CU the lead was the back breaker for NU. The defense that had played farily well in the first half, just didn't' show up again. And the offense, once again, shut down totally for the whole 3rd quarter and 11 minutes of the 4th quarter. IN short, the team was beaten mentally and it showed.

 

Now, all we can do is hope the new coach can figure out how to handle these kids on the mental side of the game.

YOU GOTTA STRONG POINT IF UR GOING 2 WIN U GOTTA ATLEAST TRY AND WORK THE CLOCK AND KEEP THE OTHER OFFIENCE OFF THE FIELD :devil

Not anymore. Four things, two are good two are bad. With the inability of the defender to even breathe on the receiver these days it's evened up. Even terribly thrown balls (under-thrown causing contact) to well covered receivers will get calls. There are far more PI calls than Int's in any given game. And, off the point, don't tackle anyone anywhere near a sideline or its 15 yards extra. :rant
