Popular Post knapplc Posted September 7, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2014 "I hold this ball club to a very high standard. I have a lot of respect for McNeese State, but I feel like we're a much better ball club than McNeese State. We didn't respect the game. McNeese State, they do. They come out, they don't care who they're playing. Those players are very talented, as you can see. But the Nebraska Cornhuskers... starting tomorrow we're going to bring a different attitude." - Ameer Abdullah, post-game presser This is what kills me. You've got a guy on your team who will literally take the team on his back. He could have left for the NFL but stayed, he's been a Super Hero two weeks in a row, literally winning the game for us this week. And the guys around him aren't bringing the same focus, the same respect. This team has big ideas and little patience. They have grandiose egos but mediocre heart. They got out-played by a D1AA team on their home turf, in front of 90k of their own fans, and only won because Ameer said Enough of this. I'm taking over, and did some Superman stuff. If this team had the heart and guts McNeese State does, I'd pencil us in for Indianapolis right now. What the hell does it take to get that? 16 Quote Link to comment

What the hell does it take to get that? Sounds like a coaching issue or the players recruited by the coaches have grown complacent and Nebraska needs a Charlie Strong like roster wipe. As amazing as Ameer is, he can't change a systemic issue. Quote Link to comment

As amazing as Ameer is, he can't change a systemic issue. I think there is a lot of heart on the team. Very questionable play calling though. You can't expose the talent if you hold them back. I am just glad Ameer is here for one more season otherwise we might be looking at 1-1 and a very very long season. Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Yeah, I really think it's the culture. Winning programs have a way. I wouldn't be skeptical of ours if I felt we have been overachieving with what we have had, but it's been more the opposite: not achieving the heights that Nebraska has stated it is aiming for and coming back and defending the record of the (decent) things we have done. Coaches should be on notice after this game. Multiple players are vocally sick of the "9-4" days and it's time to treat every week as a chance to display the best of what Nebraska can do. 5 Quote Link to comment
TheSker Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Multiple players are vocally sick of the "9-4" days and it's time to treat every week as a chance to display the best of what Nebraska can do. Hopefully those "multiple players" are leaders. Abdullah and J Cotton are both captains......yet one of them showed leadership today and the other did not. Quote Link to comment

Chaddyboxer Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I wish the whole team had more of Ameer's mentality and less of Kenny Bell's.I sorta kinda gotta +1 this. The mentality needs to change if NEB wants to make it to Indy and win it. Period. I've had these feelings for about a few years now. The mentality on the team is the biggest factor on how this team will succeed this year. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm don't know enough about his mentality as a player, but he is not our best receiver, KR or PR. Westy, Abdullah and DPE would seem to be. 1 Quote Link to comment
