***** What did we learn - Fresno St Edition *****

[The Nebraskan Assassin]

I just didn't like that the offense was home run or bust.

O-line looked soft.

Defense still doesn't impress me.

Too many sloppy plays and penalties.

[TJ Alum Husker]

TA needs to learn to go through his progressions. Those home runs are not going to be there when we start in on conference play.

 

I was wrong about Cockrell (sp). I thought he was an insurance scholarship and the kid can really play.

 

Kalu is going to be the next one up for great NU db's

 

We don't have any road graders at o-line

 

Our TE's are no longer M.I.A. Now if TA can just find them

 

We are finally flying to the ball on defense

[Beez]

 

Every 3rd down apparently is a passing down regardless of distance.

 

 

 

So true.

 

Tough to run on 3rd and 2 or 3 when the OL was getting pushed around.

[Bigred_inSD]

Our offense was like a video game at points, and if we don't have big plays again people are going to use this game as their soap box to complain from

[lo country]

I guess Gregory said Fresno's line played dirty, going for low cut blocks, called their coach dirty.

Watching the game, I would agree. They were cut blocking every time on Gregory and some of the other guys....

And on pass pro no less. It works as a surprise every once and a while, but they were doing it to mess with his head.

We learned that Tommy Armstrong is good for 300-400 yards of offense and 3 TDs every game, but he's not Captain Checkdown so booo.

[1201NH]

McNeese St is the best team the Huskers have played after three games and will likely be the best Husker opponent until October 4.

[It'sNotAFakeID]

Tommy (I think) will learn to hit his RB out of the backfield. He stares down his receivers too much. But he is a young QB, despite his 11 games of experience. If I remember correctly, it took Taylor 14 games to hit Burkhead out of the backfield during the Ohio State game.

 

I really don't like how our offensive line has looked so far this season. I think the weak spots are mainly the tackles.

 

241 yards passing allowed might look "bad." But it doesn't when you see that Fresno threw the ball 59 times, with some of those yards coming with our backups in the game. Despite not being the most physical or athletic, our secondary has done a solid job so far. Gerry has really looked good.

 

I'm liking how our defensive line is shaping up. McMullen and Gregory will both have to be watched.

 

Lane Hovey should get some more PT.

 

Demornay Pierson-El is the answer on an improved return unit.

 

Fresno State's kicker was nervous on his first attempt.

Yeah, I was surprised to see 241 on the stat sheet, it didn't seem like they had that many yards through the air. 4.1 yards per pass tells the real story.

Keeping busy for the sake of keeping busy.

[BigRedBuster]

I'm pissed because we didn't have the play of the day again.

[sd'sker]

i don't think fresno is even a state, you guys.

[Danny Bateman]

Bo Pelini defenses are still mysteriously missing turnovers. I feel like that is going to hurt us in big games.

[zoogs]

I think we attempted three passes to TEs all game, but two of them were caught for touchdowns and the feeling is very different.

 

Pretty sweet day for the whole team. Defense flying to the ball all night.

 

Gotta keep watching the line. Tommy throws a pretty ball, but struggles with placement sometimes, especially on shorter throws where a lot of them are behind the receiver. Sometimes it's good.

 

We may need to think up more creative and reliable options to replace our base run game at times. I don't know if that's possible though, you can't just keep throwing stuff to add to the playbook.
