I know it seems many on here feel fairly positive. I only listen to the games and can't watch as no TV available. But, to me, we are really struggling to hold back the avalanche. Very concerned, We need to get a 3 and out to start the third and at some point we've got to get a turnover. We don't win if we lose the turnover battle. We are going to have to find a way to slow their power run game or it will get wicked in the third and fourth. We will live by the pass and then die by the pass in second half. They will apply more pressure and we will be punting. Somehow need to make some adjustments on defense and get more control of line of scrimmage defensively. Wiscy has HUGE O line and pushing us hard. 100% correct Quote Link to comment

BoNeyard Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Just now, ColoradoHusk said: Oz had 96 yards in the first half. Riley is undefeated when the team rushes for over 200 yards. So you'd think there would be a strong emphasis on the run game to get that remaining 105 yards. My guess is we will see a lot more passing though. Quote Link to comment

It's stupid to say that Ozigbo could have had a TD on that second-to-last play in the half if he wasn't tripped up there and went out of bounds? Yes. You either take the attempt from there or you throw it so the catch is a TD or incomplete with time remaining. You don't throw short for a negligible gain. Quote Link to comment
The Duke Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 FIRST HALF IMPRESSIONS: These alternate uniforms have been Nebraska's best. Clean. Classy, but different with the mesh numbers. Would love to see them use these again. This Wisconsin team is beatable. Nebraska coaches need to Manage. The. Momentum. *cough* Danny Langdsdorf. *cough* Stop passing on 3rd and short. Let your big boys plow the road! Pass protection has been decent. Tanner Lee has definitely improved, and is more comfortable then he was Week 1. Things I'd like to see in the 2nd half: Get the running game going. Ozigbo is seeing the holes tonight, and running with an attitude. Keep bashing on those linebackers. Wisconsin is too fast I think to utilitze our screen game. I would suggest using a few bootleg passes. Crowd has been great! Time to kick it up another notch! Quote Link to comment

But I don't think it's stupid to think Ozigbo would have housed that ball if he didn't get tripped up. I guess I just think more of Ozigbo's capability and prowess? Quote Link to comment

Only thing is that you figure Ozigbo makes the catch, he will likely score as the defense will be defending the endzone. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNation1 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Too many missed opportunities in the first half. If Nebraska can overcome that they can win this game. Quote Link to comment

VectorVictor Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 BTW, defense gave up 10 points and 228 total yards that half. Would have been better if they didn't give up that long TD run...but still pretty good, all things considered. Quote Link to comment
Beez Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Would love a turnover here on first drive. Quote Link to comment
