olddominionhusker Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 This defense is so damn embarrassing. Who wants to bet this QB breaks a personal passing record today. Hey, it's better than letting a guy put up 400 rushing yards in 3 quarters. Last year we gave up 14 points to Illinois...this year the same. Last year 59 to Wisconsin, this year 23. Last year 28 to Minny, this year...we'll see. I honestly think it's more demoralizing to give up hundreds of rushing yards per game, but neither is preferred. Teams essentially stop running on us in the second quarter. Once they realize thepass defense really is as bad advertised what's the point. There isn't a QB bad enough in college football to make our pass defense look remotely competent So far this QB and Stave last week are at least hitting their targets, even if in some cases our coverage is too soft. TA cannot consistently hit throws to save his life, and Martinez was the same way. We haven't had a decent throwing QB in years. You are correct. I will amend my statement. There is not a QB in college football not named Tommy Armstrong who is bad enough to make our pass defense look competent. Quote Link to comment

MichiganDad3 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Whaaaa....did we really just witness 6 running plays in a row? Langsdorf must have smoked some crack at the end of the first quarter. Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Great play calling that whole drive...where has this been?!? You need to understand, Langsdorf's and Riley's vast coaching experience told them they needed to sit on these plays until mid-season until they could unleash them towards a wild card run in January.

Mavric Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 24 points would have won us the past 2 games...as bad as people think the Defense has been, its the lack of offense that has us 2-4 and not 4-2. It's both. If we weren't the worst pass D in the country, we'd be 4-2. If we had just a little more consistency on O, we'd be 4-2. If we had both, we'd be 6-0. Can't be true. Have you seen how many walking we play? Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Do you guys think the coaches are realizing what everybody has been saying about using the running game more ? this is so much more like what we have been saying. Far from perfect but getting better! Play calling up to a B- / B+ or so. Couple bum series but much better. Like the run calls mostly. dump the jet sweep - it didn 't work there. There may be times but it is not a fundamental or regular run. Change up at the right times only. Quote Link to comment
TheMeanFarmer Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Did they just do the NFL thing...come back for the kickoff and go back to commercials? Quote Link to comment
Hannibal Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Good to see something resembling a commitment to the run game. With as inexcusably bad as the pass defense is, at least on the whole we are tackling much more effectively than last year. That is the kind of simple, fundamental fix I was hoping Riley would implement across the board. That said, I'm also very pleased by the lack of penalties today so far. Quote Link to comment
huskerfan99 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Ok now can we please get physical with their wideouts and not play off 10 yards. Sick and tired of the free releases we give every receiver! Quote Link to comment

Redux Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Go 3 and out, use your 3 TOs and try for some more points before half ends. Quote Link to comment

The penalties may be the key to the improved offense. When a 5 yard run is negated by a penalty, then Langs immediately resorts to the pass. Quote Link to comment
