***** What did we learn - Boilermaker Edition *****

[JJ Husker]

I learned we are capable of playing even worse than we have already shown but still pulled out the win. A good defense and a hapless opponent make a world of difference.

Tim Beck has no feel for the team he has.

 

Armstrong doesn't come off his first read 99% of the time.

 

Didn't really learn this, just more confirmation today. No confidence going forward, this looks like other Pelini teams that came before it. We have trouble snapping the ball for crying out loud.

The middle point here is a fact should be very alarming. The pass in the first quarter where bell ran the post all alone only illustrates this point

I think the play calling is suspect but you can't do much when our 230 lb running back falls over with first contact. If we kept running every play it would be 3 and out after 3 and out. On the flip side you can't keep passing when tommy throws right to defenders or over heads. We got a glimpse of next years offense. I'm scared for next year.

Every god damn bit of it is fixable. But not with Beck. He's not teaching Armstrong anything.

 

 

Pretty much my sentiments exactly. He can tell TA which plays to run. He may be proficient in teaching other offensive positions (WR) what they're supposed to do on a given play.

 

But he is not improving anyone's mechanics or decision making or progressions.

 

If this is what it's going to be... with us winning games sloppily but handily leaving some points on the board, I'm ok with that at this point.

 

As long as we win games. Y'all forget too easily we'd have lost a handful a couple more of these games in the past. Progress is being made.

Put. Newby. In. The. Game. He got 5+ yards every time he touched the ball. Why is he not playing? He is a slightly less skilled, younger, abdulllah. Cross is a fullback trying to play RB.

Tim Beck has no feel for the team he has.

This is the best and simplest summation I have seen of Beck. No feel for his team and no feel for the game. Is this Kansas thing real? Would they really want him?

[Moiraine]

I learned that ESPN is good at spelling.

 

Abdullah Injury Mares Nebraska Win

[Stumpy1]

I learned that we can't watch a game on ESPN or ABC without hearing something compared to the SEC. I could give a sh#t less about the SEC when I am watching the Huskers play.

[Paul in WI]

I learned that Bull Falls Bourbon Barrel Stout is not nearly as good as Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Stout.

Its very scary. really can't be appreciative of the greatness AA brings until he is gone.......Receivers? Westy and then who?

Just heard a guy on over reaction say that play calling should be handed to barney cotton. This is what beck has done to us, driven fans to madness

[obert1]

Think they will be okay next year. Ameer is a huge loss but Taylor, newby, bussey, DPE, Westby, etc have some talent there

Oh please, we've always been insane.

[The Dude]

Tim Beck should be fined $10,000 every time he goes shotgun in goaline situations.

Not only that, but the caller did it in the following fashion:
