Cornhuskers Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 How do you see this game play out if Cody Green was playing instead of Zac Lee? Any different? Or the same? Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Honestly? More mistakes. Zac bombed it out there, took some risky shots and essentially punted. Not as well as McCoy actually punted, mind. Cody had a shot to throw it, and boy, was that ugly. Zac gave us plenty of chances. A couple of key drops stalled drives (Niles! you broke free of your man! what are you doing dropping the ball!) and Kinnie should have had that foot down. Shoulda, woulda, coulda. Texas's WR shoulda caught that free TD too. In the end, I am disappointed in Zac's turnovers but he gave us the best shot, by far, to win. Texas didn't get to him and he gutted in there, right to the end, trying to make plays. He needs an offseason and some more creampuffs to get his confidence back. And some new receivers. I hope Green won't mind sitting a year and absorbing everything down, then coming back ready to take the reins, potentially, in 2011. Quote Link to comment

The Maudfather Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I don't think that he could have played any worse than Lee tonight. Lee is probably the worst QB in the Big XII.....yeah, even worse than Hawkins. Say hello to the pine pony, Zac Lee while Big Red hops on the Cody Green express. Quote Link to comment
chamrocck Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 It was too bad Cody only had that one series where he had to start pinned up inside the one or wherever it was (no pressure there!). I was hoping he could get another series because I do think he could have picked up some yards with his legs and given the TX defense something to at least think about. Looking back if we were just going to hand off to Rex and Roy and neither QB was going to get many throws, the yes Cody should have gotten more opportunity. Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I see us getting more than 106 yards of total offense. The only good thing Lee did was have ONE good run. Thats it. Maybe it could have changed the outcome but who knows. Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I really don't see Cody completing a pass. I understand Lee did horrible, but he did pull himself together and make some nice throws, too. Not all of them were caught. Quote Link to comment

The only way that Lee could've played worse is if he turned around and kicked the ball backwards after the snap. Quote Link to comment
Paul in WI Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 No, it probably wouldn't have been much different if Cody Green started, however I thought it was a pretty bad situation to put him in and expect him to do anything except make a big mistake. I think that was totally uncalled for (read "stupid") by the coaching staff. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 A deep bomb to Paul that was caught but dropped after an excellent hit by the safety. A fade to Kinnie that he needed to bring in bounds. A drop by Paul dragging across the field while in the face of ridiculously fast pressure on 3rd down. Zac had some bad throws, but he had some nice ones too considering the pressure he was under. Cody's throw, on the other hand. Geez! Almost as bad as Zac's first pick. Cody had time and a man, but he just throew that nowhere near him. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Honestly, the thing I am most pissed about was the one drive they gave Cody, and then they yanked him out. I'm sorry, but what did it accomplish? The coaches have been pulling players keeping them on the sideline for a drive or two to "give them perspective", and very little good has ever come of it. If anything it throws off the offense. Why put CG in for one drive at the 1 yard line and then yank him? The kid was going up against the best defense we have played this year and they weren't giving him a whole lot of room to work with. CG did not run the power run/option game in high school. Nothing they called played to his strengths. That was the most frustrating thing for me today. Quote Link to comment
