Proud of the Huskers

[huskernShytown]

While there were numerous mistakes made in this game, I am proud of how the team battled 'til the very last second!

 

Things to work on:

 

The O-line couldv'e played much better. Many times TM was rushed to make a throw when he shouldn't have been. The worst time occurred when we were in the red zone and the receiver was open but Long whiffed on his block. TM had to rush his throw that should've been an easy TD. Or Rodriguez getting multiple false starts to kill a drive.

 

The DBs need to stop hooking with their off hand. Each time it happened they had great coverage, but panicked. If they would just try to make it the most difficult catch for the WR, instead of an incomplete than they wouldn't have gotten those PI calls.

 

P.J. Smith and others need to start playing the ball more. That long TD over the middle would've been an INT if he would play the ball.

 

I feel that the pick that TM threw on the goal line was more a fault of Tim Beck. It's a really dangerous pass to have your QB throw in that situation.

 

The pass to AA in the flat for a TD was a great call by Tim Beck.

 

What has happened to our kicking game?! Do we have a backup kicker? Maher punts the worst when we need him to really hit a long one. His first punt yesterday was so bad it was like us fumbling on 3rd down. And now we have to start going for it on 4th down because he can't reliably make a 30 yard field goal?
