What did we learn-Oregon edition

[Beez]

Tommy Armstrong is our best QB and gives us the best chance to win, by far. Stop expecting us to have a Peyton Manning back there.

[ColoNoCoHusker]

It's hard to hate the visiting team/coach when they pay tribute to Foltz. Couldn't be more impressed.

 

As bad as Tommy can play, dude has heart beyond compare. Respect.

 

We are really, really close on Offense & Defense to having a very good team. Special teams kills us and we are still our own worst enemy...

 

I'll take the win...

[Hayseed]

I learned that Tommy Armstrong is a lot like Vince Young.

[MichiganDad3]

We are deeper at WR than we thought. Who heard of Bryan Reimers before today. That was a fantastic catch, and he held on an fought his way into the end zone even though the DB pounded him.

[JJ Husker]

I learned that Langsdorf and Banker need handlers to shock them or spray their face with a water bottle when they slip back into their old ways:

 

Langsdorf forgetting to #RunTheBall cost us anywhere from 6-16 points, which makes up the difference that Oregon gave away with their 2-point conversion bulls***.

Banker running a prevent when pressure had been forcing Oregon's hand to make mistakes at the most inopportune times let Oregon back into the game and cost 12 points.

 

Riley may very well be a good coach, but we'll never know it until Langsdorf and Banker quit tripping over themselves and we can start saying we won games *because* of their playcalling, and not in spite of it. When they did remember to #RunTheBall and to bring pressure, respectively, in the 4th, things got back on track for us.

 

Otherwise, we bag on YOLOTommy a lot, but he's got big brass balls and played like it today. The team will improve because of Tommy showing leadership through action.

 

This is a good win, though. Not as flashy as some other wins (read: Louisville), but it's probably the most impressive win in the B1G this week.

 

^^^ This.

That TA has shown growth and is taking better care of the football. How about that run!

 

That Ozigbo is going to be a bear for other teams the rest of the season. He's going to get his yards 2 and 3 at a time if necessary and grind the clock.

 

That the Blackshirts have just proven they can stop a team in a big game when the moment called for it!

 

That Lightbourn can punt the ball well and pin teams deep, great for building the confidence in that young man.

 

That Westerkamp is a stud, but I guess we already knew that!

[TITANIC VS LUSITANIA]

Going for two every time is dumb

Haha I learned this too

[Husker Red Til Dead]

Zig is a stud

 

Im going to miss Westy next year

 

Tommy has no quit

 

Pac 12 refs aren't $#@!heads

[TITANIC VS LUSITANIA]

Also, that Kieron Williams play, let's talk about that!!

[shyndy]

Also I learned with close games by Wisconsin against an fcs team and Iowa losing to one that we should be the favorites for the West title. Let's see how we play when we're not seen as a dark horse anymore.

id say Wisconsin is still the favorite, beating lsu and then just having s letdown in an essential bye week

[shyndy]

Also, that Kieron Williams play, let's talk about that!!

ugh I don't want to think about it because if the throw had more juice on it it is probably a touchdown

[xmanjones]

It sure looks like DPE is back!

[AFhusker]

I learned Lightbourn can kick the sh#t out of the ball and pin them deep at the same time! What a game for the freshman! Good for him!

 

I learned Tommy has improved a whole hell of a lot.

 

I learned our receivers are better than Oregon's.

 

I learned our defense stepped up when they needed to.

 

I learned Ozigbo and Newby compliment each other well, but Devine is the man in charge.

 

The pace we played at in the second half was almost perfect. I learned Langsdorf knows when to distribute the ball to his best players.

I have to respect a guy who has the Swedish Chef as his avatar and Rick Flair as his signature. What I learned is that we have a very good chance at getting to at least 11 wins for the first time since players that Osborne recruited were playing.

[stargazer]

DPE finally exorcised some personal demons, oddly on the one punt he probably should have fair caught.

[Atbone95]

I've said it for two years - starting Banderas over Rose-Ivey is STUPID. That dude is the best LB on the team, hands down IMO. He's struggled with injuries and always came right back and proved himself.

 

No one fills a hole quicker on the team than he does. And when he hits you, it hurts.
