What did we learn?....Northwestern


Recommended Posts



Nothing.  Again

 

An OLine that couldn’t block a stationary object

A QB that makes poor choices often

A running game that consists of two plays primarily designed to give our center a colonoscopy 

A defense that would be hurting in a game of two hand touch

Coordinators that refuse to think outside the box and get creative with calls

Special team play that doesn’t really exist

A .500 coach that is more concerned about chewing gum losing its flavor

A handful of kids that make great plays or play hard

Zero emotion 

No accountability from anyone

injury is the only chance for the next guy up

And on and on

 

It’s the same book, just the ninth time it’s been read this year

I learned that I was not feeling angry to miss the first half. How sad is that?

 

Oh, and that we are a terrible football team. No running plays called in OT and a wonderful screen called that very rarely works. 

The "no running plays in OT" was a kick in the gut...another kick in the gut.  I"m a simpleton, but I figure if you even average 2.6 yards per carry, in a four down situation, you come out with a TD more often than not.  Glad I'm not a coach I guess...their thinking is obviously way beyond mine.

Apparently not the Huskers coaching staff

I learned that Nebraska DOES have an identity.... it's self-sabotage.

 

This team makes some good plays on both sides of the ball and has some decent players...... but when it really comes down to crunch time, they will fail. The offense will fail, or the defense, or both. And 19 times out of 20, it will be self-inflicted.

 

18 play drive with a chance to go two scores up...... failed

 

1st down at Northwestern 20 with a chance to go two scores up..... failed spectacularly.

 

1st down at midfield with three time outs and a FG wins you the game..... failed again.

 

Failed, failed, failed, failed, failed.
