Fumbles arent that big of a deal

...to this coaching staff.

 

I remember when I was a kid in the 90's.. it was always this well known fact that the huskers dont make mental errors and the ball doesn't touch the ground. It was engrained (in me... a young kid, not to mention the team). The sun will set, it will rise in the morning, and the huskers protect the ball with their life. I can think of numerous occasions the skers were used as a bullet point for this reason in football camps and drills growing up. Hell.. I remember when it was a huuuuuuuuuge deal when dan alexander dropped the ball a couple times. There was hell to pay.

 

Its safe to say it isn't a priority at all for this coaching staff. Plain and simple. Its happened plenty in the past under this administration and there is NO reason that it will cease. I don't mean this as an over exaggeration either... fumbles are here to stay. Its not a hard thing to coach.. make a huge deal about it and make examples of the guilty players. The end. This staff simply does not care.

This is like saying that since there's an object in the air you can't identify, it must be aliens. I know I've got a tinfoil hat for you here somewhere...

I agree 100%, great win today but we'd look so much better if we could correct this.

If this were true than why didn't they go away in 1999 when Solich said they focused on ridding the fumbling problem. Crouch had 12 that year by himself. We had 49 fumbles that year and lost 25. That was the sole reason we didn't make it to the national championship game; otherwise we would have waxed Texas in austin.

I remember fumbles back in the day. Dan Alexander, Ahman Green would put it on the carpet. Our defense would make stops then and get the ball back. Nebraska would win and us fans would forget about the fumbles.

Exactly. If you didn't like the nickname Twinkle Toes for him, you could have always gone with Stone Hands instead.

I think his biceps just got in the way.

Good point. I saw him around campus a lot and he was a physical specimen. Not that I check out dudes a lot...

And bo hasnt said they've focused on ridding the fumbling problem? Words are easy to say.

 

Salute though.. I guess I didn't realize crouch's fumbling woes.

The staff not caring might be an exaggeration. Its definitely not a priority though.

Thats kind of where we're at. "Its a priority." But if it really was a priority I believe the fumbles would stop... or slow.
