**** What we Learned - McNeese St Edition ****

[ronsss]

bo has a huge contract,,,,tough to get rid of him

[The Dude]

We learned just how bad our offense is at tackling.

[It'sNotAFakeID]

Here's what I do not get:

 

Nobody on our LB group is new. There's not something new they have to learn. So why are we still so inept at covering RBs in the flat?

[RedDenver]

 

We learned that FAU is just plain bad, so last week didn't tell us much about the Huskers.

 

We also learned, like many teams across the country, that quality 1-AA teams can and will play solid football.

 

Huskers are just good enough to have an unfocused, lackadaisical game and barely pull one out.

 

Will this game be the signal for a rocky season ahead, or will this be the wake-up call the team and coaches need to play better down the stretch? We'll have to wait and see.

we have 6 days to wait and we find out

 

We have most of the season to wait and find out. A solid win against Fresno St next week does not mean that the Huskers learned their lesson. Especially since Fresno St didn't look even average last week.

That Tim Beck is the luckiest coach on the face of the planet.

 

FIFY

 

I'm old enough to remember when Bo's problem was Shawn Watson and when Callahan's problems went beyond Cosgrove.

This has been going on for as long as I can remember, and it's really, really worrying.

 

I want to believe that Bo is still an elite-caliber defensive mind.

 

If teams continue to be able to gash us like this and with the jet sweep, I'll have to adjust my thinking.

[Zaimejs]

 

Can't argue with any of that.

 

We couldn't dominate the LOS on offense, and we looked rather slow on defense.

 

Not a terrific combination.

 

They did get bitch slapped fairly efficiently...

 

Hopefully this wakes them up now, instead of later, and they play angry and hungry the rest of this year...

 

I think I've read this on this forum as long as I've been a member here.

Special Teams is much better.

 

Defense and offense took a step back.

 

Kenny Bell come back soon.

 

It's week 2, we can improve.

[River-runner]

a lot of people are overreacting when we all know 2015 is still our year.

 

Thank you sd'sker, thank you very much! At least this got me laughing!!!

 

Undergrad NU - Grad School Oregon - GO DUCKS!!!!!

 

Hope you guys saw the Oregon Duck Mascot on Game Day this am - It Was EPIC!!!

[presidentjlh]

Hey, at least we didn't lose, and we honestly should have.

[Bigred_inSD]

Trap game, but make or break. How do we respond? Do guys man up like ameer and the d to some extent on the goal line or do we see the team splinter?

[Bowfin]

Everybody on our offensive line needs to lose 40 pounds. That will make it much easier for Abdullah to carry them the entire season.

[Saunders]

That we lack killer instinct because that 98 yard pick six flipped the game from a route to a close contest.

 

Oh, and Armstrong looks like Joe Bauserman at times.

How does a play that occurred in the 2nd quarter ruin the whole second half?

 

Good QBs and teams for that matter have short memories.

[StPaulHusker]

I learned that the close win is Sam Folz's fault. If he hadn't pinned the Cowboys deep in their own territory all the time, our defense wouldn't have had to be on the field for 12 play, 80 yard drives making them tired and the offense cold and rusty from sitting on the sidelines.
