The Dude Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Which one of you scoundrels did this? 8 Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 115 plays, 2:55 between kickoff and game end. Wow, what a short game. And a dominating offensive performance, considering. Four very long, sustained TD drives and a 4th quarter spent closing them out. Like a scrimmage for these guys. 1 Quote Link to comment
Cy the Cyclone Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I learned that if Rutgers and Illinois play each other this year the game will end in a scoreless tie... 1 Quote Link to comment
MichiganDad3 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I learned that Lee plays no matter what. Game in hand in the 4th quarter - Lee plays. Lee tosses a couple pick sixes - Lee plays. Quote Link to comment
hskrpwr13 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Late to the party. Learned: Tanner CAN avoid turning it over (yes, I know he fumbled and threw a couple of balls that coulda/shoulda been picked) Maybe they're trending in the right direction since this seemed to be the cleanest game Our DBs, Geez. I don't know what DW is teaching, but either their being taught bad technique or they don't possess the athleticism to execute. We do have a pass rush at times Overall, the team is still too loose with the football. Its almost like, this week, we traded interceptions for fumbles and dropped passes. DPE is quite the inconsistent punt returner. One week he looks like an All-American, the next he looks like a first-timer. Quote Link to comment

I would much rather have a #1 that is confident going into the tough stretch that NU has in front of them / then having a #2 guy that got put into a game for some snaps that won't do a lick of good if he doesn't see the field over the next few weeks.

The problem I have with that is he didn't do anything different this game, he just got better results. Pass pro was better, play calling allowed him to get rid of the ball, lack of coverage allowed for open receivers, but he did what he's been doing. What I think are his real biggest problems, pocket awareness and keeping his feet alive, didn't change. Confidence should come from doing things properly, not results. If you're not doing things properly, but getting the desired results, it creates a false feedback loop that can be hard to change. 4 Quote Link to comment

Actually confidence comes from results and outsider praise - and yes there is such a thing as false confidence, however it is still confidence. Quote Link to comment

What if Lee gets hurt. What if Lee throws 3 interceptions in the first half? We need backups that are ready to play. IMO, one of the reasons Nebraska was so good under TO was because the backups got lots of reps, even the 3s and 4s. Quote Link to comment

chamrocck Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Goes to show the importance of line play. Our OL gave Lee time and he looked much better. Our DL got after their QB and he couldn't do anything. Take one game at a time. Wisky has better line play than us and thus Lee will be under a lot of pressure. Quote Link to comment

huskerfan74 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I learned that we can beat weak opponents but we can't beat better teams...that is of course if you consider Oregon and Norther Illinois better teams than us because last I checked, Arizona state beat Oregon. I also learned that we will not be able to compete against teams like Wisconsin, Penn State, Ohio State, and Iowa. If we played Michigan, they would also beat us. In other words, we are not anywhere near where we should have been by now. Mike Riley is a very nice man and he is probably a wonderful person but he will not be able to get us back to Nebraska glory days. We have become insignificant and no one expects us to compete for conference championships. National championships are light years away at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment
