AFhusker Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Mike Riley is assured of a winning season at NU. It's a first for him!!! That puts him only at 50% winning seasons at NU. He needs his pink slip tomorrow! Quote Link to comment
Kernal Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Our offensive line is aptly named. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Offensive line really needs to step it up this week to give the offense a chance to operate. Seems to be the main thing holding us back from being a really excellent offense. Most of the bad plays could be traced back to an offensive linemen or two . . . or three not being able to sustain their block for more than a second or two. The bad throws and the bad runs. I know depth is nonexistent and guys are hurt, but it's time to rise to the occasion and at least give our guys a chance against a salty defense. Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Based on the o line play and apparent 'injuries' to a number of those guys on the field, we obviously have NO backups left because this was a awful game played by several of the linemen and if they are playing injured, the obviously are playing VERY poorly while injured. They should be on the bench healing up so they can hopefully play much better in the future. In the mean time, our second string and or thirds or even fourths should NOW be more ready to play better that what we saw today. They are now 12 weeks into the fall season after the entire spring and whatever additional time in pass years. Where are the backups? Quote Link to comment
swmohusker Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 We can still beat wiscy. Our defense was really bad for a few plays. DPE is getting better. Stan is the man. Light Bourne had some good punts. Our line blew a lot of assignments today. We need to make teams pay for loading the box. Tommy missed another 2 or 3 td bc he overthrew them. Dedrick young is our best LB. DL it improving We don't have the talent to just roll over teams. We need to execute and compete for 4 qt 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't agree with it, but it's not gonna change. Quote Link to comment
Big red surfers Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I learned our o line is dumb. So many blown assignments and when they don't blow the assignment they look bad. Newby has no field vision Tommy starting to regress a bit. Newby has no vision? Tommy is regressing? Are you watching the same game I am? Why is a 4th yr qb throwing off his back foot 80% of the time. Sometimes for no reason. Numerous times newby runs into a pile and a foot to either side is a hole. Quote Link to comment
Hayseed Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I didn't learn anything new, but I don't think we should call the next games a loss until we play them. Chances are we'll play up to them the same way we play down to other teams. My biggest concern is that three of the games are away....probably the three toughest where they'll need fan support the most.I still believe we're not utilizing Morgan Jr and Pierson-El enough. And who was that guy with the big kickoff return? Quote Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I know we are missing a couple of guys, but why in the hell is our offensive line so bad? Even our backups should be prepared. Quote Link to comment

alwayshusking Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Not sure I learned much other than the defense can carry this team if necessary. Need to get more healthy on offense, I think you'll see us open things up a little more on offense in the next 2 weeks. Especially regarding Tommy's running. We've been playing not to lose in recent weeks, which I'm OK with, now it's time to play to win. Quote Link to comment

teachercd Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Anyone bagging on TA need to realize that he is the only reason the Huskers have a winning record. That cat makes more gold out of straw than whoever it was in the stories. 3 Quote Link to comment
