kansas husker Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Shawn Watson still sucks. Really? I hope this is a joke. A very well called game all around, and who +1'd this 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Can I be negative about the Head Line Judge? That guy was ATROCIOUS. He consistently marked the ball a foot or two short on Husker runs and a foot or two long on Huskie runs. Bo even challenged the spot at one point, just to let them know he was paying attention. Burkhead even refused to give that guy the ball after Bo made that challenge, instead taking it to a different official near the center of the field. This was one of the worst officiating jobs I've seen in quite a long time. And it wasn't just spotting the ball - it was Prince's "holding" penalty which happens nearly every play on both sides of the ball but was only called when we picked off Locker. It was the holding calls on the Huskers (only a couple) but none on Washington unless it was absolutely impossible not to call (what, once that happened?). It was the false starts on both offenses that weren't called - Helu was moving several times prior to the snap, I know. I'll be a negative nelly about the officials. No problem. 4 Quote Link to comment

I'm not as upset about it, but yeah the officiating sucked. Get used to it - Pac-10 and B12 have worst refs in the nation. EDIT: Helu can move as the single player in motion as long as he isn't moving towards the line of scrimmage at the snap. Quote Link to comment
deedsker15 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 qb controversy...green coughed that up...literally Quote Link to comment
husker98 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 There's always things to improve on, but 'negative nelly' isn't a term which should apply this week. Our run defense needs to get more consistent. That's the main issue going forward. winner. We shouldn't have given up as much as we did. And more concerning, we really didn't have a consistent pass rush, Locker for the most part had time too throw, he just didn't make good decisions when doing so. Quote Link to comment

Horrible spotting of the ball. Even the challenge I was like...WTF did you even review the spot? Quote Link to comment

Our run defense needs to get more consistent. That's the main issue going forward. With K-St. and Okie St. having success running the ball, I hope the run defense gets more consistent also.

Red Tape Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 One note on the Run D... I wonder how much can be attributed to the inexperience at LB? Quote Link to comment
captain obvious Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Need better pass rush from the front 4. Need better interior run defense. Need a more legit vertical passing game. Need a backup QB that doesn't guarantee the other team at least 7 points. All of these things will be important when Big XII play starts. Quote Link to comment
mmmtodd Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 those calling for a 'better' pass rush clearly dont understand the pelini's defense. add to that a mere 20 pass attempts throughout the game. Quote Link to comment
captain obvious Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 those calling for a 'better' pass rush clearly dont understand the pelini's defense. Our DTs had lots of sacks and TFL's last year. How can you say that the Pelinis' defense doesn't require some pressure from the front 4? EDIT: Maybe "require" isn't the right word, but it's certainly designed to produce mayhem with the DL. Quote Link to comment

mmmtodd Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 how can you say the pressure wasnt there? with four guys rushing we do what takes other teams 5 or 6 guys to do. sure, not tfl loss, sacks, whatnot, but as it was put by the coaching staff after the first game, when a team throttles back their passing game its pretty tough to rack up those stats. 4/20 passing, and all of a sudden our defensive line isnt doing a good enough job? puhlease. its not all on the secondary. Edit: i guess what im saying is, dont look for the glory stats. be amazed that our line with 4 guys does what other teams can only dream of. 1 Quote Link to comment

Sure, it's obvious that Washington (and WKU and Idaho) minimized the impact of our DL by design, but do you think teams weren't trying to do that last year, too? Locker might have been rolling out a lot, handing off a lot, etc. I figured the DL would have at least gotten a few more hits on him, though. Furthermore, that 4/20 passing was due mostly to the blanket coverage that our all-freaking-world secondary put on the Washington receivers. Quote Link to comment
