Vitalis Jackson Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 So who is responsible for that fourth and 1 fade route? Is that a hot read by tommy and the wr? That has to be one of the stupidest things I have ever seen in college football I'll say it again . . . if it would have been completed for a TD, it would be called a "genius" play call. This is part of football; get used to it. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Well Riley got halfway towards #9wins. Coach of the Year!!! Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 A passing play should never have been called in that situation to begin with. If TA or Cross can't get less than a yard with 2 straight carries, then we deserve to lose. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Quote Link to comment
InOmaha Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Blame coaches if you must. TA made awful throws and went away from primary route on 2 of them. He was awful today and we couldnt afford that. The 4th and 1 play was open. TA went elsewhere with the ball, not on coaches. Bad qb play did us in today Again...and I don't see how folks don't f*****g get this...Tommy played poorly, to say the least. But if you're the OC, and you see that Tommy can't figure out the opposition's zone defense...do you keep calling plays that force him to figure it out? Or do you go with higher-percentage plays that move the chains and keep the ball away from Iowa? This is the same God D**m s**t that we saw against BYU, against Wisky, against Illinois, against Purdue. It's not the kids, it's the coaches being inept. The talent is there--these coaches just don't know how to best utilize it, which should put a chill through any kid that's committed to this staff. What run? According to most here when we run we don't run the right way. How about a competent Junior QB. Watch Baylor's 3rd stringer tonight if you want to see better QB play. Ohio State, Baylor, etc have better second and third string QBS then our first string. Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 45 pass attempts for Armstrong, on a cold and windy day, in a game where the largest deficit was 11 points. Thanks, Langsahan.In all seriousness, if I were SE, Riley would get the Solich option. "X" staff is gone or your are. That is all. I will need your decision in the morning as Tom Herman is waiting to see if he needs to resign form Houston or not.No offense but Herman is going to pretty much have his pick of the lot as far as vacancies are concerned. I doubt Nebraska would be his choice. He'll likely have teams like Georgia and FSU vying for his services. The 1 thing in our favor is that Herman was at ISU and OSU, if he is a Midwest guy, he will be familiar with nebraska, and I'm sure he would like a chance to go head to head with Urban Yup. I agree he would have been the ideal choice. But we're unfortunately a year out from having to worry about this, unfortunately. Though, if Riley would just wise up and jettison the dead weight on his staff... Quote Link to comment

The Duke Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 This was Nebraska's first losing season at home in 46 years! Let that sink in. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Turnovers and penalties are an indication of coaching. NU has been terrible in these two stats the entire season. Thanks a lot Riley. Quote Link to comment
InOmaha Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 We aren't getting a new coach next year. Likely at some point next year we will get a new QB. It's that simple. Quote Link to comment

This is part of football; get used to it. I don't think the majority would call it a genius call. Most would say a gutsy, but ill advised, very lucky call. You have a QB who is not good on touch passes, but a gifted runner, so you ask him to make one of the most difficult throws in football. When you need one frickin yard. Quote Link to comment
