Blackshirt39 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 That onside kick just made no sense at all Yeah you don't give them a shot at points. If they are going to score, make sure that have as much field as possible in front of them. Incredibly stupid decision. Quote Link to comment

Danny Bateman Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Interesting all the people saying a defense on pace to give up 500 yards is playing greatPoints allowed > Yards allowed.This defense needs confidence right now. Preserving goose eggs will provide it. Literally ANY competent team would have points on us right now (2 missed field goals and a failure to convert 4and1). I'm sick of the moral victories, it's what turns into blowouts against good teams. And those are coming. I never thought I'd see Nebraska get shutout for a quarter by the incompetent Illinois defense. But hey... we're up 7-0 so we're gonna win the west now! I bet you also never thought that you would need to see a play of the year type play by Ameer last year for us to survive McNeese State either. I have an honest question for you, what is your purpose on here other than to nit pick and complain about everything right now? Is is because Bo is gone? You don't like Riley? A combo of both? I am not saying that everyone should be kool aid drinkers because no player or coach (to include TO for two piss poor HC hires) should be above criticism, but when you complain about the new staff failing in four plus games to get better results than the staff that recruited these players did, it makes you look like a scored lover and you lose all credibility. NOt that you seem to care, but whatever. But sunshine pumpers I ask you this. If Bo was coach, would you be defending this team's performance the way you do with Riley. Be honest.That's kind of the whole point man. It's a little difficult to take a team of guys brought in to play spread and teach them a pro-style offense. Likewise, a defense used to matchup bracket pass D learning to play run first D and quarters coverage I'm the back end AND learn how to tackle is a little bit much to chew off by the first game of conference play.But Husker fans and patience never did get along... What does conference play have to do with it ??? Illinois is bad team. No excuse for this. It's their fifth game. Vince Lombardi couldn't take a team that was this fundamentally flawed and iron out all the wrinkles in five games. He'd do better than this, but I hope no Husker fans assumed Riley was Vince Lombardi. 1 Quote Link to comment
throwing bones Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 That onside kick just made no sense at all It does if you get it, but I trust Read and his 450k Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Okay, during the half, lets see how many zucchini's Hedley can fit in his mouth. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 That onside kick just made no sense at all Yeah you don't give them a shot at points. If they are going to score, make sure that have as much field as possible in front of them. Incredibly stupid decision. Imagine how stupid that would've looked if we actually paid a ST coach.......... Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Keep feeding Ozigbo in the second half. I'd be happy if we ran two consecutive times...... Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Got to hope the Offense has some serious adjustments to make at the half and we get out there and make a 3 & out and then take a drive in for a TD and get up 17-0. That would open up things some and be a tough spot to be in if your are Illinois. On the other hand, if they score, they will be in the driver's seat and odds are the home team wins if the game is close in the second half. Based on the scores around the Big Ten today, I would say we have a chance in any game (to win or to lose). Quote Link to comment

Danny Bateman Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 pitching a shutout so far. but there is something wrong with that according to the glass empty crowd here. Thing is we were up 22-0 at half last week. Yeah, but we're up 10-0 at half in a game a lot of people picked as upset special. I'll take it. I'm happy... Hope we keep the shutout going in the second half. But if there are those who choose not to enjoy a ten point halftime lead, that's their prerogative. Quote Link to comment
Danimal Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 LOL that almost scored. That onside could have easily backfired on us. Quote Link to comment

Everyone calls you "coach", less than 5% of the job is recruiting, no headset or general input on the sidelines, free husker gear...the life Quote Link to comment
