grandpasknee Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Any chance the O struggles we're seeing are the result of Beck/Bo trying to push the offensive envelope a bit this week for the third week starters TA/RKIII....opening the playbook a bit more to see what they can handle? Or are they just having a bad day. If just having a bad day, this is a good day for it. Edit...can't see the game, just listening... it looks to me that purdue is really playing with some intensity today. it might be that they are playing better then anyone expected Good point...bad team or not, they are a D-1 team with some obviously athletic guys on the field.

HuskerfaninOkieland Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Does anyone actually think the rule is good? Because I have yet to see a single fan who agrees with the rule. Claiming someone does without providing any evidence is pretty amusing. The rule is good when it's applied correctly. The problem I see is it's to subjective. It's too broad of a rule with no real clear indicators on what is and isn't "targeting." We've seen other plays similar to SJBs today that weren't called targeting and others that should have been targeting, not called. Interpretation is the name of the game with this rule and it's the interpretation that sucks. The rule needs to be adjusted with a clearer outline on what is and isn't a penalty Quote Link to comment
Knoxville Husker Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I can live with the penalty but the ejection on SJB was atrocious. 2nd half: I've seen enough of RKIII to be honest. I'd like so see some more option with TA, play action, and keep up the downfield passing off that. Purdue will wear down easily, but some option trickery is what I thing will keep drives moving on the ground in Q3. Quote Link to comment
tschu Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I'm frustrated guys. How is saying that officials got a call correct "Nebraska bashing" ???? I'm an enormous Husker fan and bashing isn't my style Quote Link to comment

No but some are being pretentious "rules guys" and acting like they're better than the rest of us because they have such a "higher understanding" of rules. The rest of us are trying to watch some football and being prevented from doing that by the guys in black and white. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Really disappointed in the Long loss, that's a huge hit to our O-line................. Quote Link to comment
husker_fan_from_sweden Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 What was once considered a good hit is now an ejection. My grandad just pointed out how it isn't a game anymore since the rules now 100% cater to the offense. Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Wow! The stadium really emptied. Still a lot of RED!!! Quote Link to comment
grandpasknee Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 When you get hits like that, it's pay day fellas. Same goes with touchdowns...when I got my first touchdown as a FB....I actually teared up a bit because all the work you gave during practice paid off. Game day is the check baby. I really hate these new targeting rules. Never scored a TD in HS football, the only place I played FB. But I do remember my first basket in HS basketball. (I was one of those 20 points per season guys mostly accustomed to pine time). Quote Link to comment

Interpretation is the name of the game with this rule and it's the interpretation that sucks. The rule needs to be adjusted with a clearer outline on what is and isn't a penalty I would say the issue with the rule is the entire part about being ejected automatically for targeting. Based on the rules right now, that was targeting and it's an ejection. The problem is, all hits like that should now be ejections. In reality, it should be like it was before where you get ejected for a malicious, intentional hit upstairs. What they have done is take the interpretation OUT of the hands of the refs. Now they have no choice but to eject. And that is an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment
