Takeaways from the 1st half:

 

It's irritating with the fumbles...but two were on special teams

 

The positive: our defense is doing damn good.

 

Just a matter of time before our offense gets going and then it shouldn't be a .

 

Lot of game left guys.

but nw offense will get going eventually too

Northwestern naps during practice.

 

Nebraska naps during games.

Only on punt returns

@MIchiganDad, Beck only breaks out the diamond formation when we're losing at home by at least 17 points

 

Seriously Beck, we're not playing Alabama here. You don't have to think too hard here, just get the damn ball to our playmakers in space. Did you see the completion where Turner caught the ball and flew past the nearby Northwestern defenders? More of that! And where the hell is the screen game? Purdue nearly beat OSU by basically an offense consisting of HB and WR screens.

If Bo had any creativity, he would burn Tommie's redshirt and start using two QBs. Northwestern does it, and they surely aren't any worse than us this year! Then we could put TMart in at receiver at times for screen passes and go routes. Of course, Bo is too concerned with shaking TMart's fragile "confidence"

 

Why burn it in a year when we very likely have nothing to play for? Seems like a waste to me.

 

Yeah, there's the experience, but TMart has one more year and will likely start next year. I say we wait until then.

2nd half, let's see the OLine step it up.

Do we get the ball to start the 2nd half? I missed the beginning of the game because of Ohio State.

We will all be alcoholics by bowl season. : )

Beck is outthinking himself again. Happens every game and has since becoming OC.

[REDSTEEL]

Maybe BO's good at scratch on the plus side.

 

[The Maudfather]

Good "block", 89.

[Hammerhead]

Why doesn't our kick return team block?

[huskers_packers]

haha taylor does look crappy trying to cut

[whateveritis1224]

Make your blocks on returns.
