jsneb83 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 We still can't effectively stop running quarterbacks. Most teams can't, which is why you see alot of teams using them. 1 Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 So I was offline for a few days but I learned that Greg McMullen is way better than I thought he was. I also learned that Newby and Abdullah looked very similar when running the ball. Some runs I had to pay attention to the jersey in order to know who it was. Imani Cross knows how to take advantage of his carries. I expected a little more from the DT position. TA looked good. WR had some.bad drops. Quote Link to comment
NUinID Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Watched the game finally yesterday. Spent the weekend on the Oregon coast. Offense looked good. It was fun to watch, when you are watching the game you don't think that they picked up that many yards, probably because it was so consistent, there really was only 1 real long run in the game lots of 8-15 yard gains. Armstrong can throw 50% all day long as long as he throws the ball away like that. He also had a couple of drops by guys. I really can't believe how some here are complaining about a defense that gave up only 200 yards of total defense and one score. That is about as close to shut down as there is in CFB these days. Anytime a defense can hold a team to 300 or fewer yards is good. Take it and be happy. 3 Quote Link to comment
hskrfan4life Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I am waiting for the game to come in the mail so I can look at the tunnel walk again. Haven't been able to find it online. Quote Link to comment
mwj98 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I liked some attitudes I saw on the sideline. Tommy getting the guys pumped on the sideline before the game started was great to see. And something that's been long overdue. AMEN to that!!!! I also liked how Cotton let his big ol gut hang out. Big nasties got it done upfront!!! Seeing some swagger out there!!! Quote Link to comment

They also only had 119 yards after three, when we started pulling starters to get other guys reps. 122 of those yards came on their two longest drives, which resulted in a TD and missed FG. That means they had -3 yards on the rest of their drives Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 I am waiting for the game to come in the mail so I can look at the tunnel walk again. Haven't been able to find it online. There are a couple youtubes of it. This one has the best sound I think. Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I am waiting for the game to come in the mail so I can look at the tunnel walk again. Haven't been able to find it online. Are you ordering that from HB? How long does it take to arrive after each game if you pre-order the season? Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I also liked how Cotton let his big ol gut hang out. Big nasties got it done upfront!!! Kind of disappointing that gut isn't as legendary as Kenny Bell's afro at this point. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Apparently we were lucky? FAU cornerback D'Joun Smith offered a unique explanation as to why then No. 22 Nebraska moved the ball so freely in the Cornhuskers 55-7 season-opening victory over the Owls: FAU was over confident. This happened despite the fact that most prognostication services considered FAU at least a three-touchdown underdog. “Even though people thought we were the underdog in our mind we weren't the underdog,” said Smith, a preseason All-Conference USA selection. Smith said he and his teammates thought that if they came out and “punched them in the mouth” Nebraska players would wilt, and FAU's superior talent would take over. Nebraska, however, punched them back, racking up 784 yards of total offense – the most ever against an FAU team. Despite those numbers Smith still thinks FAU could take Nebraska, given another shot. “If we go back to Nebraska again I still think in our hearts, and I think we all think that, we are going in and beating them,” Smith said. “They sure weren't faster than us. We had way more speed than them. They just capitalized on our mistakes.” Yes, that's a whole corn field of mistakes. The Owls, of course, don't get another shot at Nebraska. Instead, they travel to No. 2 Alabama. And it's still uncertain whether Smith will be able to face the Tide. Link Quote Link to comment

But it wasn't NU that wilted. Quote Link to comment
