Undone Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 "It's a great mental test for everybody," Riley said. Yes - it's a great mental test for you to try to run the ball on first down, and at least just see what happens. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Anyone provide cliff notes of Riley? I'm at work. Good on Tommy owning up for his play. Don't know how that ever turned into a criticism of the coaching staff for answering that question honestly. 2 Quote Link to comment

Don't know how that ever turned into a criticism of the coaching staff for answering that question honestly. Props to Tommy. However, the coaching staff should've thought more about passing the ball when the wind was blowing and nothing was happening with the passing game. Yet, that did not deter them. They seemed to disregard the fact that the passing game was ineffective and just kept doing it. Quote Link to comment
NebraskaHarry Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Still the worst coaching decision and time management skills I have ever seen from a Nebraska team. Didn't get the play in until 8 seconds on play clock? Couldn't get our TE motioned over. Hey coaches, how bout we call a timeout. I know we had at least one left and you can't take them home. Doesn't even matter if it was a designed run, cause it's still awful coaching. 4 Quote Link to comment

If you make sure they run the ball the clock will roll after that play ends. Then you punt instead of going for it, and Illinois has it at the 15 with :17 left. 2 Quote Link to comment

It goes without saying that you should call it deep into the play clock. Well, with this staff, maybe it isn't that obvious. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 It was just a mess. Calling a timeout would've made sense if they could have gotten to a ref in time. "Hey, they're not lined up right, this might blow up. We have 3 TOs and there's a few ticks on the playclock, so no difference." And passing was bad, but Tommy was thinking about the possibility of a FG so I think you can see where he's coming from. They even looked at that possibility but decided against it, given the circumstances. If you know to think ahead to 4th down possibilities you might consider trying to get 2, 3 yards to get into better range, or maybe instruct Tommy ahead of time not to worry about the FG in that scenario. It was not well managed, and that's on the coaches. The whole game was not very well managed offensively and that's on the coaches. Hey, fair is fair. Everyone learns something (you hope) and moves on. Quote Link to comment

NebraskaHarry Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Doesn't matter, it's 3rd down and you can still run the ball and clock down to 15 - 20 seconds. Terrible game management by the coaches. 2 Quote Link to comment
