nhuskers5 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I was really impressed with the running game vs. Iowa State. Anyone have any other comments? Quote Link to comment
huskerdude171 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I wasn't extremely impressed, at least they got decent production I guess. The last drive where ISU already gave up is where we got a bunch of yards there. IMO we still aren't ready to run the ball against good teams like KU and Oklahoma. Quote Link to comment
SkerMin8r Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 ...IMO we still aren't ready to run the ball against good teams like KU and Oklahoma... Really? I watched all of the KU/OU game yesterday (MAN was it LONGGGG) and neither's team defense was all that impressive...especially against the run... I suppose you have to credit the offenses of the respective teams...but the way our boys are playing recently...I would put them right there with 'em... Quote Link to comment
shagg Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 we did ok but don't get too excited as far as being able to just line up and knock people off the ball...our running game is only as good as the passing game...we have to pass and pass to set up the running game...watson's biggest mistakes the first few game was that he was trying to run the ball to set up the pass...our strenght is passing the ball..

melscott62 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 its improving.... but we have a ways to go Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 It was improved, but I think the ability of the Iowa State defense needs to be taken into account when measuring the performance. Quote Link to comment
skerfan1705 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I was really impressed with the running game vs. Iowa State. Anyone have any other comments? I was a bit surprised that Helu didn't break away from the secondary in his BIG run. I think some former husker backs would have taken it for six...but that is the past...still a great run. Good to see us gettin 5 or 6 yrds on each run....kills the clock and that what we NEED!!!! Quote Link to comment
huskernation20 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Did anyone see Castille completely kill that defender!? Man, I thought that kid got knocked out! Quote Link to comment
Igetbored216 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Ehh...it was a good running day. However, I think alot of this can be attributed to the 95th ranked rushing defense in the country. Both Kansas and Oklahoma are much higher on the list (top 35). I still think we have alot of work to do before we are a great rushing team. Quote Link to comment
np_husker Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 We did improve a little, but I guess I would still like to see Helu get a chance at starting and get a good number of carries. I'm curious to see what he can do. Quote Link to comment
