AFhusker Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Tommy is phenomenally talented, but I'm worried his decision-making will be an issue again this year. Bingo! TA throwing the ball is a disaster. A defense with speed and discipline in the secondary will wind up with 5 picks on him. Tommie's decision making is worse than bad. 1 Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Tommy is phenomenally talented, but I'm worried his decision-making will be an issue again this year. Look, I know Tommy wasn't perfect today, but when you have him throw 35 times, he's gonna make some bad throws and decisions. Today, the good Tommy was very, very good though. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNation1 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 A few nuggets I learned from today's game: The passing game is far improved from last year (especially the screen game), but TA still makes me nervous with his decision making Ozigbo is the top RB on this team currently The D-line got some more pressure in the 2nd half but still is not where it needs to be in order to compete with OSU or Wisconsin The secondary looks much improved overall Bonehead penalties and decisions would have cost us the game against a better opponent Quote Link to comment
fb30 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Even if Tommy is as bad as some people say, what are we supposed to do? There is no one better. Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Tommy has an impressively strong arm, but when that cannon is not attached to his brain it's more of a curse. I also don't think he gels with Utter. 1 Quote Link to comment
BoNeyard Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 -The defense is good. The run defense will be tested greatly next week. -Armstrong is athletic, but still makes decisions that leave you scratching your head. -Offensive Line still needs to get stronger. -WRs are good -2-0 is the best we can be at this point in the season. Lets make it 3-0 next week. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Ok, I keep seeing all the posts about bonehead Tommy plays. Exactly how many "stupid mistakes" did he make out there? I'm just curious. I know the INT was beyond stupid, but is that play going to cloud everyone's judgement on other plays that he did make? 4 Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I don't think we really played that badly through the first 3 quarters. It wasn't elite football but we were always in control of the game. Sometimes for whatever reason you can't finish drives and pull away from a team who you should beat handily but that dosent mean you can't control the game in a similar fashion vs a better opponent Quote Link to comment

theknife Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 We learned the team still has penalty issues. We learned Tommy is best worst QB on the roster. His best out shined his worst today, but his inconsistency can stall drives. We learned the defensive line is still green, but leaning towards serviceable. We learned we can still defend the conventional run plays well, but need to get the end around figured out by next week. We learned the defense can bend, but often doesn't break and quickly bounces back. We learned the screen game can be effective and also terribly ineffective all in the same game.

The Dude Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Perhaps we should hold off a bit on overreacting early in games. Most people "over"reacting are thinking ahead to how we will play against better opponents. The way we finished the game doesn't make the problems in the first 3 quarters go away. Yep. I'm sure Ohio State Fan is sh#tting a chicken right now. It's just a funny/silly part of sports fandom. Quote Link to comment

I'm just curious. I know the INT was beyond stupid, but is that play going to cloud everyone's judgement on other plays that he did make? I think it is due to the fact Tommy is a Senior, a 3rd year starting QB and that one mistake in the redzone was flashbacks to what has always seemed to be a problem with him and his decision making. I think most of us would hope after 3 years of being a starting QB at the D-1 level at Nebraska those type of mental mistakes would be gone by now. It just makes it hard to trust him in big time situations. 1 Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 We learned Tommy broke the all-time passing TD record today. 3 Quote Link to comment

He more than made up for it with his play the rest of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment
