Eric the Red Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Samuel McKewon @swmckewonOWH · 2h 2 hours ago It must be said Nebraska stopped the run pretty damn well today. Iowa tried to run it, too (except for that 3rd quarter stretch.) My question is why did this occur today? We had our starting All American candidate DE out along with a Cooper a captain out with injury. Quote Link to comment
Hedley Lamarr Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Probably because Iowa is a 500 type team 3 Quote Link to comment
presidentjlh Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Would have been nice had we been able to say this a couple weeks ago and last week. Quote Link to comment
markiemark Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I think it had a leetle bit to do with the competition, aye Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Iowa's running game is ranked 70th in the country. Maybe that's why... Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 We went more man coverage with the DB's. Played a lot of 1 gap and pretty much ditched the 2 gap allowing the DT's to crash and head up field instead of dancing with the OL and trying to control 2 gaps i.e. we attacked instead of read and react. I also think Cockrell played at a much better level than Coop.... Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 RG4 isn't good against the run. Iowa isn't a great running team. Probably a lot of those coming together. Quote Link to comment
Bowfin Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I think are Defensive Tackles were allowed to attack and not react. Collins has some good moves to get by an offensive lineman in the blink of an eye. I think Gangwash plays the run better than Gregory. Gerry and Zaire played fearlessly, and by that I mean they trusted their instincts and didn't sit there to ponder what to do or not do or if they were making a mistake. Quote Link to comment

Apathy Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 You guys act like Nebraska has one of the best run defenses and then down grade Iowa's running game. Do any of you remember the Wisconsin game or how about the Minnesota game where we allowed Minnesota's QB to run 100+ yards on us. So I would say stopping Iowa's running game today was a positive however you guys want to spin it Quote Link to comment
