Husker_x Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 If the blackshirts don't come out tomorrow, we might as well cancel the tradition entirely. What more can you do? Quote Link to comment
River-runner Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Im gonna have to disagree with the blackshirts. Seeing what Bo wants out of the defense, this definitely was not it. We had oppurtunities to cause turnovers, even though there was bad weather, there was so missed tackling, and we gave up more yards than i thought we were capable of against the Mizzou run. The defense did a great job tonite, but it could've been better. I think the team did very good this evening - but - how many balls did our defensive backs have in their hands and dropped them. Blackshirts put the whole package together - we didn't see that tonight. But still - What a great game, what a great improvement from a year ago!!! RR Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Yeah I agree. No big blown coverages (can't fault a guy for falling down in the rain and there were two other guys to clean up), 2 picks on a qb that hadn't been picked yet and were in position to pick off 3 or 4 more (again rain is rough) and they didn't quit. Finally the offense did enough but they played even better than VTech. I think Bo wanted to say yes when asked but he is just making sure he watched the film first and he wouldn't give em out that way either. Quote Link to comment
The Maudfather Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Our defense kept us in the game, played lights out, and showed heart. Gotta hand out the blackshirts, baby! Quote Link to comment
Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I loved his response to Erin Andrews when she asked him about it after the game: "We'll see." Oh, Bo. Yes, I agree. They deserve them. They should be hanging in their lockers when they get back to Lincoln. Quote Link to comment

irafreak Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 His postgame chat though he was praising the D. Said he couldn't pick out a player that didn't play well. Complimented the D line too. Said he thought Suh might be a little too crazy coming in. Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Maybe I'm picking nits, but I saw a lot of missed tackles by the first man. I want to see that cleaned up. I'll guarantee you Bo talks about breaking down on the runner instead of sprinting at him out of control. We gave up yards we shouldn't have several times tonight, on defense and special teams, when their guy made a simple juke. Can't let that keep happening. Aside from that gripe, they played excellent.

carlfense Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Agreed. Hand em out. They earned them in the best way possible. Quote Link to comment
TheHuskerPilot Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 MUCK FIZZOU!!!! The D definitely earned them tonight, IMO. It feels good to beat pu&&y cats again. Thanks for the win BLACKSHIRTS!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I haven't seen such a complete defensive Husker team play like this in years. I think those kids played their hearts out and I think they DESERVE to get their Blackshirts. DAMN they played with a lot of heart tonight!!!! Bo has been saying they have needed to put several games together to earn them. I think getting a big win finally and allowing the least amount of points of any team in the nation is justified in awarding them Quote Link to comment
husk3rf8n Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 They deserve them! Did they play perfect? No. However, if this D hadn't played so well tonight this game could have been out of hand before the 4th qtr. Give 'em the SHIRTS!!! Quote Link to comment
huskerstuckinmichigan Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 By the way, the entire offenses owes the defence a very nice steak dinner!!! If they didn't score after being set up so well on both of those INT's, they should be kicked. And since most of the game the offense was non existant, I wasn't to sure at first, that even being set up on their ten yard line would help. Quote Link to comment
