MichiganDad3 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 What is the weather forecast? Langs is in all pass mode now. Some wind and rain, and we could end up getting blown out. Quote Link to comment

Also down two important linemen and NW only gives up 3.3 ypc. Oh, and the only Big Ten team to break 100 is Wisconsin...109. Quote Link to comment

We're guaranteed to see that nifty 2 yard run up the middle behind mush blocking at least twice before the run is abandoned. 4 Quote Link to comment
ladyhawke Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 This is hilarious! We were a -6 underdog with Purdue and now NW is +1 and they've beaten Michigan State and Iowa? I don't get it! Quote Link to comment

Also, they may have noticed that instead of folding like a cheap tent, the Huskers are playing from beginning to end like they have something to prove.

That team played hard in the last 2 minutes at Purdue. Purdue was playing not to lose instead of throwing the ball down field, they elected to run 3 times and punt. There defense was tired at the end of the game. We couldn't cover there WRs down field, and they couldn't catch a cold! We needed that win. No doubt. This team finnally realized it could play some ball on offense. We let a team that had no offense for 4 weeks score 24 points. Not bad if its Ohio St or Wisky, but that was Purdue. We didn't play hard all game. That team was folding from the start. Purdue was just that much lowlier than we are. Thank golly for that. If we would start some games like we finished this one, it would be a pleasant surprise. Michigan St and Iowa are alot better teams than most in the lower half of this conference. 1 Quote Link to comment

Nebhawk Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I think your the only one on this entire message board that I have seen refer to that game saying we played hard from start to finish. We played hard when the light came on and we had a chance to win the game. Not knocking that. But we did not come out ready to play and wasn't there until the midway point of the 4th quarter. I bet Jeff Brohm is sick in his stomach. They started running clock in the 2nd half when up 24-12. We done nothing to that point to really say do otherwise. Then they played prevent and allowed us to gain yardage and stop the clock. Our defense can't stop anyone. When the other teams are playing to win, we can't cover or tackle outside the box. 1 Quote Link to comment

That’s because the message board has been overrun with negative whiners who know what we have but continue to cry and run down the team anyway. Can’t you just root for the team and hope for a win like a real fan? 1 Quote Link to comment
Nebhawk Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Were beyond just winning a few games. Were ranked at #63 in the Power rankings. Were one of a few Power 5 teams not even ranked in the top 40. 65 Power 5 teams. Were in the same end of this rankings as Kansas. Hell, KSU is #36 in the same rankings they are 4-4. They compete each week. They have chances to win against Top 10 teams. Its time to not be in this position any more. Its time to work upwards into that Top 20 lines. Its time get back into the Top 15 at some point. We are not going to get there with this system or its components. Quote Link to comment

That’s true, and I don’t recognize you, but some people just rag on the team endlessly, like they’re experts at adding 2+2. At some point you need to root for the team and let the administration do what they think is best. Sabotaging your own team with constant negativity is not a good look. I found it much more satisfying to root for a win. 1 Quote Link to comment
