Ggodd002 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I learned we r 7-0. That alone is such a huge improvement. Sure we lose next couple of weeks. But we then have a great chance to win after that. Finish the regular season with only 2 loses to top 10 teams. End up top 25 for the year...make a good bowl game... I will take that after a horrible 1st year for new coaches... Quote Link to comment
stargazer Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I don't know why everyone is writing off the Wisconsin game. We have a good defense. Wisconsin's offense isn't all that great. You keep it close, have a few opportune plays, and I think we have a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment

This isn't one of Bo's teams that just get annihilated by them. Quote Link to comment
Touchdown Tommie Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Oline did not look good at all. Not even close. Even Gates looked bad and he is suppose to be one of the better ones. Guys can gut out a win and keep rolling. I am very nervous for next week! Quote Link to comment
theknife Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I learned Mike Riley can get angry. The secondary got tested today, but overall played well. Kieron williams is a beast Tommy looked much more mobile this game. The offense line needs to heal quickly in the next week or the next two weeks are going to be tough. The defense continues to play bend, but don't break. Drew Brown as a cannon for a leg. Stanley Morgan has ups and hands. It will be fun to watch him next year. DPE is returning to form.

GBRFAN Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I learned that some fans think: injured OL players that have been in a cast all week to accelerate recovery should play at full strength. Freshman OL are suppose to be capable of dominating Big Ten teams and it is wise to burn a redshirt for a player that probably isn't ready to compete at this level. (usually when guys compete before they are ready they get injured) We have No chance next week even thou we will probably win and the probability of us winning will be somewhere around 45% 2 Quote Link to comment
krc1995 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. Yup. It's like there is no offensive line Just wait until Riley has all his guys on offense. It's gonna be awesome!!! will it be one center (walk on), one quarter back, and nine wide outs? Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I'm ready for next week. 7-0 and headed to Madison. This is exactly what we wanted Husker fans! If you can't handle it, put on your skirt and go to knitting club next Saturday night. 1 Quote Link to comment

chamrocck Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 We have to win games ugly. Right now we don't have the depth to just jump all over teams on offense and then smother them on defense and thus every game is an adventure. We have no D-Line pass rushers so good QB's are going to look good like today. I realize I just have to stop screaming because the pass rushers are not there...so we do our ugly bend and not break. This will be really hard vs. Wisky and Ohio State. I think Wisky will be able to run a lot and OSU will move it through the air also. Not having Westy and Carter hurts the offense and Westy is a security blanket that Tommy will absolutely need the next two games. Fo Fiddy needs to find another job. Don't think it happens this season but after the season just make this happen. The OL was giving Newby nothing today. Need to nut up now. I also miss Ozigbo as a change of pace back. Not sure why we didn't see him when Newby was getting swallowed up between the tackles consistently. We have looked consistent pretty much every game (an ugly 7-0 but it is 7-0!) but this level of play will not give us a chance next two games. Something big has to happen for us to win. Likely will need +3 or more in turnovers to get the wins and Tommy will have to play best games of his season. Play the games. See what happens. Haters gonna hate. Quote Link to comment
Atbone95 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I don't know what this team does at half time, but it's incredible. Maybe it is as simple as deciding they want to play today. See the defensive stats Mav just posted. The offensive stats leading the FBS... Can we petition teams to take a 14pt handicap and start in the 3rd quarter from here on out? Games would be shorter and I'd take our team every time lol. Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I learned that Ed Cunningham **REALLY** likes getting arm action from his QB. I learned that we have a steadily improving D-Line and that we'll have to live and die by the blitz to succeed in defense. But since the DL is improving, that's not as bad a gamble as it once was. I learned our OL strategy of not playing subs is detrimental to long-term team goals. And pulling red shirts is an option, as long as the kid gets reps down the stretch. I learned that we have exactly one boundary rushing play in our book, and it's the jet sweep. I learned that we need specific definitions of what a YOLObomb is, as posters are abusing the term seven games in. As for next week, we may not need to be perfect to win, and that's okay w/me.

Pasadena Husker Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I learned that going to the game thread is terrible, especially when NU is losing.That's why being at the game is the bomb.com. So you're not tempted to go on. I know. I had stayed off the game threads all year long until this week. I had my bad idea jeans on for that decision. "no i didn't use a condom, but then i thought when was the next time is was going to be in Haiti" brilliant and i applaud you. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 We're 3-0 when Landlord prematurely tells-us-so in a status update. I honestly have no idea what this means. Quote Link to comment
