HUSKER FREAK Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Didn't Boise get beat handily by an unranked Washington team? But, yes the staff needs to improve, mostly getting the players to get up and stay up for the whole game. They look to play scared at times and that seems to be the biggest problem to me.

Frida's Boss Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 so is twitter not off limits to players during the season this year? and martinez is a "captain" he needs to speak to the press Quote Link to comment
huskered17 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 We all figured the offense was going to have to put up a lot of points, and the defense was going to have to just slow the other team down, just enough. Well that's what they did. That said. We are in trouble. I don't think we can get the recruits, the way we once did. If we could, we would see a better product out there. Bo is a great D coach, but even he can't spin straw into gold. The kids played as hard as any other teams we have had,they just aren't the 4 and 5* players it takes to stay an elite team year after year. I still think we will have a good season, just not the one we were hoping for. GBR!!! Boise and other teams get lower recruiting rankings then us and win and look good doing so. No BO better start looking to improving his staff or someone will improve the whole staff. They don't have to go up against the same competition week after week. It's nice if you only have to get up for two tough games a year. GBR!!! Quote Link to comment
Karsaire Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I agree whole heartily with Enunwa, but I don't know if I like him throwing beck and Co under the bus. Not as a player, not even as a senior.. Quote Link to comment

Not as a player, not even as a senior.. Â I think it is good that he done that. These coaches need to be held accountable by the players also, not just fans. They are the ones out there playing and they have a feel for how the game is going. I wonder if they let him know during the game also? If so, then Beck needs to start listening to them.

ZRod Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I agree whole heartily with Enunwa, but I don't know if I like him throwing beck and Co under the bus. Not as a player, not even as a senior.. He didn't throw anyone under the bus. More than one player has said Beck likes to talk openly with players about what plays/calls they like and don't like so he can throw them out or play to their strengths. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I like what Q and Bell had to say. Definitely something that leaders should say and it makes me happy that they were overall disappointed in what happened tonight. I don't think it will happen again and hopefully those two can talk to t-mart about getting them the ball as much as possible. Â Great post....I think they will take care of things in house.

This looks like the best D athletically that we've had since 2010 IMO. Quote Link to comment

This looks like the best D athletically that we've had since 2010 IMO. I'd say it's about half and half at this point. Bo's admitted they caught them in some bad call which is for now is probably the coaches fault, but there we quite a few plays where guys just bum-rushed and didn't keep their heads up and play smart. The inexperience showed last night. But even the true freshmen can play at this level, which is really impressive. Quote Link to comment

After finally getting a chance this morning to watch to postgame interviews, I'll eat my crow and say that Enunwa answered the question perfectly Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 @Ciante17: We can only get better from this point ! #HuskerNation Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Bo has a proven track record of getting teams prepared very well to respond to these situations. Â Â No he doesn't. Pretty much the opposite, actually. Â We are a terrible first half team. We think we've learned a lesson from the previous loss or close call, then come out the next game looking confused, turnover prone and penalty riddled all over again. That recent string of crazy second half comebacks almost make a fan forget this, but if I had one hyphenated word to describe the problem with Nebraska on both sides of the ball it's ill-prepared. Â That being said, I do believe this young defense will get better as the season goes along, and could easily play better against UCLA than they did Wyoming. They pretty much have to. Â Just don't know if it will be enough. 1 Quote Link to comment
Nobody Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Remember 3 years ago when South Dakota St came in here, gashed our D with a power running game and then we had to go play Kstate down there, and the sky was falling here for a few days? Everyone was worried what that Kstate back was gonna do. Well, what happened. Bo has a proven track record of getting teams prepared very well to respond to these situations. I'm gonna take the less stressful approach and just sit back and have a little patience. Â Your tone is patronizing bro. Its as if you're suggesting that it's ok to hang around with a team like Wyoming the way that we did. We aren't elite now and we weren't elite then. No matter how much hype that K State got before that game, they still got trounced by us... and then proceeded to get beat by Baylor, AND okie state, AND Misery, AND Colorado AND Syracuse. Big deal, we beat K state. It's a sh**ty win, let's not try and spray perfume on the pig. Quote Link to comment

Nobody Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 LOL yeah... not the best word choice. If you can translate it into understandable english, there's a point in there somewhere. Quote Link to comment
