Sadie Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Mike Riley wasn't successful in the NFL and he wasn't successful at Oregon State. He's not the guy for Nebraska. Why would we give him another year?? 3 Quote Link to comment

I got quite a visual pic on the misread. lol 2 Quote Link to comment

Nebhawk Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Ozigbo is a good back, but seems to me to get winded easy. Granted, he runs hard, and runs thru contact hard, but always seems to me to have to come out after a good run. Takes himself out that is. I think he is not playing because he is not in shape. I think Wilbon is good fresh too, but they seem not in shape to me. Football playing shape that is. Ive got wonder about every aspect of our program right now. We seem out of shape, not as strong, and just not physically in condition. Is our Strength and Conditioning not what it should be as well. This also affects all of our programs as well. Baseball, basketball and others. Quote Link to comment

Wilbon with 24 carries and 90 yards last week against UNI, 3.75 YPC Ozigbo with 24 carries and 101 yards against Rutgers, 4.2 YPC Equal amount of carries and Ozigbo did better. I like what I see more with Ozigbo than I do with Wilbon. 1 Quote Link to comment

I mean, it's not like you just compared their performance against two different teams or anything! Oh wait... 6 Quote Link to comment

Nebhawk Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 On the contrary, I like both backs when they play. I think even Bradley has some good in him. Quote Link to comment
Nebhawk Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Does it really matter though? Our offensive mind set is to pass the ball 70% of the time. Use the run for play action. We are so predictable. Just wait for our next game and see if we continue with our trends. We do have good enough running backs to run 70% of the time and pass the other 30%. Instead we will give Tanner 70% chances at throwing to the other teams instead. Interceptions are going to happen, but his are so predictable the defender is at full speed intercepting and running the other way for 6. Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I learned that this win might have exposed the team even more than the two losses. Rutgers was set up for Nebraska to right the ship, but even given a modest 26 passing attempts and generally solid run support, Tanner Lee was terribly inefficient. Going three and out to end the first half and start the second half was inexcusable, given what this team needs to prove. Diaco seems to be making the right adjustments. We're complaining about which of three pretty solid running backs deserves more carries. Those are things to build on. But you know....Rutgers. The ceiling for this team appears to be low. I'm not sure why they'd be the favorite in any game left on the schedule. But then I saw the team wildly celebrating on the sideline in the fourth quarter. Players congratulating players who made good plays to lock up a 10 point win against a Big 10 doormat. And I realized I could and would root for the Huskers like I always do. 3 Quote Link to comment
