PaulCrewe Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Zach sterup is a viable option at tackle. They ran to his side more than less when he came in. And he had a head of hair that makes Clay Matthews jealous Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I'd like to point out that we learned our defensive coaches can still coach good defense. We also learned that it isn't scheme that's preventing out defense from being ballers. I'm confused but it looked like we blitzed much more this game than usual.... Quote Link to comment
Epic-Nemesis Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I learned that the fans were right over the years. Run the ball and run the option until stopped then pop the play action. Hmmm...Not as stupid as we look. Quote Link to comment

We blitzed quite a bit more early in the year then got away from it. Fun to see them attack - blood in the water. Quote Link to comment
lilred Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I learned Tommy Armstrong has some serious guts. This defense has promise. If we build on this we could see some special things this year. There is a lot left to play for. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Gregory was phenomenal, I hope he doesn't go the Cam Meredith route and pack on a bunch of extra weight like suggested. He's effective enough as is. The idea of putting on 30 pounds of muscle in a couple months without steroids is, just, no. And how about Ciante shutting down Gallon? Gonna miss that guy.

JTrain Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 The containment on their fat QB with the stupid number was awesome. #12 is not stupid Quote Link to comment

Born N Bled Red Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Imagine if you could go back and create a D in the Pelini era that uses any players he's had. Imagine, Fonzie, Amukamara, Suh, Gregory, David, Hagg, Evans, Rudd, all on the same D... Invincible! Quote Link to comment

But most of Husker nation sees the 1 or 2 plays every couple games he gets "beat". Not to mention when he comes on that edge blitz....he NEVER misses a tackle whether its the RB or QB. Really enjoy watching the little things he does. Quote Link to comment

JTrain Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 With any creativity/coherency on offense we win this game 27-10 going away. You can't blame it on the offensive line injuries because they actually played pretty well. Playcalling was straight Ask Corso/Madden. Atrocious. Hey, 3rd and 4 potentially in four down territory, let's throw the streak route to the seventh string WR. I like it. Running game is our strength but let's throw out that half of the playbook on 2nd and 10. Frighteningly predictable. And yes, I'm making the radical assertion that I'm able to somewhat accurately judge these problems despite not having had a career as an FBS offensive coordinator. As far as the defense... well, what can I add? 1 Quote Link to comment
ladyhawke Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I learned that the last time we won at The Big House was in 1961-Bob Devaney's first year of coaching!! Quote Link to comment
chamrocck Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 1) Great win...the best this season for me as it was totally unexpected. I gladly eat crow as I thought we had no shot at Michigan. 2) When Bo Pelini is fighting for his job, we can play aggressive defense. I am not happy it took this long, but that is how Nebraska defense is played and how we should scheme. Hats off to the defense...they won this game. 3) Randy Gregory continues to wreak havoc. I don't think there is another defensive player in conference I would trade him for...he has been playing that good. 4) Even before the muffed punt, in several games Westy has looked tentative in the punt return game...some punts he should have fielded but he has let go. This one today, there was no avoiding it and it got him. I know he has great hands but not sure he is the right guy back there. 5) Great job by the patch-work O-Line. They made the best of a tough situation. 6) When opposing teams hit us helmet to helmet it is great football play. When we do it to other teams, we are penalized and and/or ejected. This rule continues to be a complete joke. Quote Link to comment
