bshirt Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 We have 61 rushing yards.....against the 95th rushing defense. Good God And we have thrown the ball 14 times....seriously? Establish some running game, especially since it is windy. Sadly, they keep stuffing Rex. Our wrs simply have to catch the ball (and then not fumble). Either that or unleash the zone-read and mis-direction plays with Tmart. Or give it to Ameer Abdullah or Aaron Green, I have a feeling those two are faster than anyone of that NW defense. Yeah, the triplets on the edge works for me too! Quote Link to comment
cornhuskers4ever Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 The ref didn't call the hold because the asshat was looking the wrong way. Nebraka is shutting them down on defense, we need a momentum moment to take the lead. Northwestern's QB's when they run are running for their lives. We will tire down their O line, and I think we will wear down their Defense. Quote Link to comment
Redman Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I would like to be a fly on the wall in the locker room right now. Quote Link to comment
Excel Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 What the heck guys? Do I need to start watching this game? Other than UW you guys have done well when I watch haha... What happened? Someone bring me up to speed. Are they shutting down Rex? This game is still winnable though so hey Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I wish this team would get their sh#t together. Are they a bad team that plays just good enough for the shortest time possible or are they a good team that plays like sh#t most of the time? I really have no clue. Quote Link to comment
Jeremy Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Colter is pretty good. He reminds me of a shorter Brad Smith, though he doesn't throw quite as well. gotta knuckle up on D to stop him Quote Link to comment
3rd and long Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I think our D is going to make a big play early this quarter. A pick six maybe. If we make them try to throw into the wind, I think we're going to get one. The D line is getting pressre, just need to finish him back there when we do get there. Quote Link to comment
bshirt Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 So are they running the short side options to set up another the reverse? Tom O. would say he likes going to the short side because their are fewer defenders but it is not working today. That's what I remember about it. I think for the short side to work the QB has got to make the decision a lot quicker. You just can't keep riding it to the outside. Either cut if up field or pitch sooner, it's too easy for the defense to string out. That's one thing I really hope Taylor improves on in the future, he's got to make the defender commit on the option. Someone was talking about that on one of the threads here this week. Why we don't run the option in a straight horizontal line? I don't get it....maybe we don't think our Oline can hack that? I don't know.... Quote Link to comment

Someone bring me up to speed. Are they shutting down Rex? This game is still winnable though so hey Rex isn't 100%, so he's struggling more than usual. The offense moved the ball throughout the 2nd quarter, but lost two fumbles, one inside the 5 yard line, the other at about the 25. Should be 17-7 right now. Quote Link to comment
Haspula Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I saw Rex Burkhart in the first half. Time to see Rex Burkhead in the 2nd half Quote Link to comment
Zaimejs Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 The weird thing is that Martinez is having a great game... he's like 10/13 or so throwing, and he hasn't done anything really dumb yet (knock wood). Running game needs to step up. Not sure why we're "establishing" the pass? Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I saw Rex Burkhart in the first half. Time to see Rex Burkhead in the 2nd half I see what you did there. Quote Link to comment

I wouldn't worry then, just some sh**ty luck, everythings going to be fine. It's not like Northwestern is showing brilliance on offense...or are they? 7 doesn't look like it... Quote Link to comment
