Our offensive play selection is horrible. The sole reason nebraska isn't up by 21+ right now.

I would go even farther with this. It's not just offensive play section, it's the entire offensive philosophy.

 

When your philosophy/scheme relies on good pass protection and accurate QB passes to the skill players with the running game being secondary in the equation you're going to struggle. Langsdorf's run game strategy is unimaginative, lacks creativity, and is without any emphasis on physicality.

 

Riley & Langsdorf offense is a pass first offense.

 

Nebraska wil be lucky to win 7 games this season.

LOL...you mean Omaha media. Sipple will just write some fluff piece so he can maintain access to the program. 

Supple already bagged on the staff today in a tweet

No, Lee can be singled out for telegraphing his passes and missing many throws when he has had plenty of time to throw.  It's not as though his only bad throws were under pressure.  He is making freshman mistakes.

Don't disagree, but pressure was the reason the second INT happened and Lee is obviously prone to making poor decisions when he gets pressured. That's something he needs to work on, but the O-line needs to do their damn job!

If we go ahead after this series, we should not pass again the entire game.

While you are correct, I'd bet that we still will (maybe not as much but still atleast one pass).

Yes. Beginning to think it's not a rough stretch.

Poor decision making is also to blame on poor coaching. Their job is to coach them to be their best. I pray this is not his best and he's just not coached to his full potential.

You do know who our OC is right?  We will literally pass every down if that happens.

[BoNeyard]

Stanley Morgan is our only player on offense. 

 

Thank you Morgan Jr.

[The Dude]

Lee needs more tipped passes so he can increase his completion percentage.

[Norhusker]

another bobbled pass....

The fact so many were saying Lee would be great makes me think he's a headcase and can only play well in practice.

Poor vision....not good under pressure.

They're calling the kind of passes our guys can actually catch.....come backs.

I didn't say we'd do it. I said we should. 

 

In the ensuing series we'll throw another pick six on 1 st and 10 from our 4 yard line.

Morgan is getting banged up.  I think he is playing hurt which is nice to see his toughness

What's Bo Wilson doing right now.  Pretty sure he'd like a shot Cav.  Same with Decker

But, but, but Cav is developing depth....my a$$. he develops nothing but a headache when I watch his OL play...

[HuskerNation1]

Spielman getting more touches than Lindsey...did not expect that when the season began.

[BIGREDIOWAN]

Now that was good pass blocking, gave him plenty of time, great throw and catch!
