Huskerfan66 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Granted he did lose the ball, Cory was not given a chance tonight. I dont know where those fumbles came from, he has always been a reliable back. But there is no way you can blame anything more than that on him, it was like he dint even have a line there to block at all. I do not recall the TE play, but I clearly recall Todd having a clear shot to the end zone, and he falls down after catching a ball thrown on the money. Quote Link to comment

It's a backs job to protect the football and he didn't. He did a horrible job keeping it tucked in and in his ribs. He had it away from his body most of the night, and that's why it popped out so much. Quote Link to comment
huskerhomer500 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 First game of the year, we didn't show a lot of what BC intends to show in the future and w/o the turnovers we win by 5 TD's at least Get the redzone offense in gear and we aren't talking about the negatives here It is all good, Huskers will win the Big 12 North another step back to their past dominates Quote Link to comment
Huskerfan66 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 All I have to say is that I expect a big game from Cory next saturday, even with this O-line....no way a leader and captain like that is going to have those mistakes happen again. Quote Link to comment
mainejeff Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Whatever you do, don't give any credit to Maine's defense, you corn bred Bubbas. Your announcers and fans are arrogant SOBs....and who knows why? Your team hasn't done jack sh*t for years now........ Quote Link to comment
Huskerfan66 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Sorry we cant live up to the dynasty Maine has had lately....And I would hate to hear what you think everyone else's fans are like if we are arrogant. Quote Link to comment
mainejeff Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Enjoy your 6-5 season and that big bowl game that no one will care about except Nebraska fans. Quote Link to comment
IrishAZ Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Enjoy your 6-5 season and that big bowl game that no one will care about except Nebraska fans. Hey, thanks Jeff! And you enjoy...well...err....whatever the hell Maine fans enjoy...lobster fishing or something, I suppose. And, for the love of all that's holy, stay away from Cabot Cove...it must have the highest murder rate per capita of any place in the nation. Ah-yup IRISH! Quote Link to comment
Blackshirtsguru Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Meh I would be sour too if my QB was sacked 11 TIMES! By the way the next time you see the Maine QB ask him how our stadium lights looked since thats about the only thing he seen the entire game while laying on his back! Quote Link to comment
IrishAZ Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 When did they put in flashing purple and red lights with little stars? IRISH! Quote Link to comment
pigsonthewing Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 well it was the first game in a full house against a live defense that isnt your own. I expected some slip ups. We have a lot of work to do with our offense and hopefully now that the new guys know what its like to play under the lights of Memorial Stadium they will improve and become more comfortable with the live gameday environment. if we lose to wake then i am gonna say "uh-oh."

BigWillie Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Two words about this offense -- mental preparation. Cos had his boys fired up from the get-go, because frankly, he has something to prove this year after getting torched so many times last year. It showed. Thru 3 quarters the Nebraska D played with fire and passion I couldn't help but love. OTOH, the offense... ...was it a carry over from the spring game? The squad set the world on fire, expected Maine to roll over and what happened? The offense was knocked around and had mental mistake after mental mistake. One led to another, and so on. In a way, it is the coaches fault for not getting this offense up and prepared even for an opponent the likes of Maine. In a way, it isn't. Stupid mistakes by Cory Ross, a couple bad decisions by ZT and dropped passes out the wazoo. These are things that are basic to the game of football, and shows why these guys were not mentally into this game from the get go. One mistake compounded, and no one could shake it off. Hopefully no one expects Wake to just rull over. An up and coming ACC squad coming into Lincoln in their first big nationally televised game? This won't be the same Wake team as last week considering they will have All-ACC back, Chris Barclay back in the fold. Hopefully Wake isn't Southern Miss of last year. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Cally better get the O line into some run blocking drills, besides pass protection, with our backs there is no way you pass on the opponents 1 yard line.....that is basic football 101, period!! we need to establish the run first, then throw the ball when the backers have to come up to stop the run........ hunter Quote Link to comment
CoachKevin Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Why do people keep saying the cupboard was empty? Those Players went 10-2 under Solich. The 3 Leading Tacklers last night were Solich Recruits The only 2 TD's came from Solich Recruits. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 i agree, should have given Glenn the ball.......wonder what the hell happened to Taylor? hunter I 'm sure th staff wanted to, but couldn't get enough points on the board to empty the bench Quote Link to comment
