I'm fully in agreement that play calling is a significant contributing factor....but the blocking is awful right now. Line, tight ends, backs, the whole thing. What's kind of amazing is how complete the failure is. Whether it's a downfield pass, running play, screen, just everywhere there are so many plays where we're not even getting a hand on a guy. 2 Quote Link to comment

What play do you call when one or two defenders get into the backfield nearly untouched pretty much right after the ball is snapped? Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 Bryant, Kalu, Newby, Farniok, Ferguson and Morgan were all out of practice today. Knevel and Keyan Williams suited up. Doesn't sound like Knevel was a full participant. DPE still lead punt returner. Quote Link to comment

Well...you call for a punt at least 25% of the time. Quote Link to comment
Norhusker Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Fan apathy is the killer for this program moving forward. The die hard Husker fans I work with for the last 20+ years are down in the dumps. The film doesn't lie though after last week's performance.... Most of them predict a Rutgers will win. I think it is a coin flip despite the 11 point Vegas odds in our favor. Offense is in disarray combined with injuries stacking up. Cav is a huge disappointment. I have to admit that I didn't see this coming. Getting through the rest of the season could be tough....The Iowa guys I work with our relentless with their jokes. I don't blame them I would do the same to them if the tables were turned. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Remember when we used to insist that our S&C program must be crap because we had a bunch of injuries? Yeah, that was fun. Quote Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Sounds like a bunch of players being ashamed of their performance last week to me. Quote Link to comment
