Apathy Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Helu, or the entire D I would not give it to the D at all. We allowed FAU over 100 yards rushing and it didn't seem like our Defensive Lineman were evening trying to get to the QB at time. I think that our D-Line needs to be more aggressive at attacking the QB....I don't think that we even got a QB sack. My vote would go to Helu. Helu had 152 yards rushing and 3 TD's he'll probably be the Big 12 Player of the Week if Gabbert doesn't get it. Quote Link to comment

Was it me or was the D-Line not that aggressive. It seemed like they were always standing up like they were worried that FAU's QB Smith was going to beat them if he ran the ball so they'd stay back and wait for him. They didn't put that much pressure on the QB and I was really disappointed that we didn't get a single sack and there is no reason why we allowed FAU to rush over 100 yds. IF Bo wants a top 10 defense in the Country we have to be more aggressive on the front line and attack that QB. There were times were we got to the QB but it was only a rare moment during the game....but thats just me Quote Link to comment
Zaimejs Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I agree... disappointed in the D-line. But Helu... what a performance. Quote Link to comment

I also like the fact that our DB's got a couple picks from what many scouts believe is a future early round NFL QB. He was having a pretty crappy day and I like to think our D had something to do with it. ...and to the OP, I think the offense in general looked good after a slow start, but Helu and Lee deserve the game ball Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I'd say probably Helu for the game ball. He showed great YAC tonight, good vision and lane selection (even though I could have driven a car through some of those holes), and plenty of ability to make people miss in the open field. I think he definitely proved he's ready to shoulder the main back responsibility for us. Quote Link to comment
J_2_THA_BONE Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Helu gets it but what he did was expected, man he looked good Other than that I thought Zac Lee looked very solid in his first start and showed he had wheels to use if he wants to. Quote Link to comment

Power-I Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I'll go against the Helu grain (I think he's the obvious one), and give my game ball to O'Hanlon. Talk about a ball-hawk. 2 INT's (although one was ruined due to the roughing the passer) and no breakdowns in coverage that I noticed. We need him to play like that every week. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Zac Lee. He was under control and not hyper like Ganz. He managed the game very well. He gets rid of the ball smooth and quickly. There was four dropped passes by WR/TE, one ball he purposely threw away, and one he floated for an INT. He was solid, close to perfect. For just his first game as a starter, it was hands down a better performance than Ganz, Keller, Taylor, etc had in their first starts running the Huskers offense.. way, way better. He gets game ball IMO. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Gotta go with Helu on this one, he had a helluva a game. Quote Link to comment
agibson95 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 CG was amazingly quick and that bobbled catch shows that his catching problems are behind him. Id give him the game ball Quote Link to comment
GBRsal Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 offense - Helllluuuuuu defense - i offer matt o'hanlon for consideration. fau to be sure - but he impressed me tonite game brick - Larry Asante...how do you drop that pick? pretty good game otherwise. he was there making the stop every time somebody got into the secondary. safety play was quite good tonite Quote Link to comment
xkbubo Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Funny, right when helu started ripping I said WATCH THIS and he started running like bat out of hell and getting touchdowns. Yeahh!! He did good, but so did Lee, Guilleyen, and others. Quote Link to comment
shyndy Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I'd say Helu and O'Hanlon, bc he basically got two picks. Quote Link to comment
