huskerfan74 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 The penalties are killing us week in week out and the coaches don’t seem to be doing anything to address them. If I were Williams, I would be pissed. Every positive play he had was brutal ugh back by some idiotic penalty. Some penalties were totally avoidable. At what point does Scott Frost take out a player for committing a stupid penalty and replace him the entire game! We will never win a game when we commit 11 penalties for 110 yards no including offsetting penalties. We keep saying this is on the players but I am sure our millionaire coaches can do something about it. We seem to be committing a penalty or two on every series. The game we win will be the game we commit less penalties than our opponent. 1 Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I think this week’s penalties were different than last week’s. The holding penalties by the o-line were due to being overmatched by a very good Wisconsin D. They are just better than NU in the trenches right now. I didn’t see the late hit/dumb penalties like which happened last week. 4 Quote Link to comment

secretasianman Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Majority of the penalties tonight were for offensive holding . That’s a clear sign of a physical mismatch. 6 Quote Link to comment

Last week, we had 10 penalties, this week 13 penalties with two offsetting, so, yes, I think the coaches are not doing enough to address these penalties. Also, our special teams coach is not worth a cent. At this point, just have any other person do that job. We can blame the players all we want, the coaches need to have a strategy to address these penalties that have not got any better. 1 Quote Link to comment

That seems very strategic. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I'm certain the coaches are addressing the penalties, like some have mentioned these penalties were different this week. Yes they don't help us win the game and do hurt us, but I think we only had one personal foul tonight which is an improvement over last weeks mess. The players need to do what the coaches are telling them to do and just putting someone else in isn't an option when we have zero depth. 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskerInLostWages Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 We average 6 holding penalties a game, yes every game we have had 6 holding penalties. Thats 60 yards right there plus whatever the yardage where it occurred. We need to clean that up and stop punching our offense in the nuts. Tonight we actually overcame some of those that the last 4 games basically killed the drive, so thats a plus. We apparently like to play out of a hole with turnovers, penalties and turnovers.

Your are wrong on the average holding penalties per game. Before Wisconsin the team had 7 holding penalties. Here is a OWH story on penalties from this past week.https://www.omaha.com/huskers/blogs/penalty-numbers-back-it-up-nebraska-really-is-one-of/article_800d831a-7de5-5b06-a8e8-7107f60bfa99.html 1 Quote Link to comment

Offensive holding? No we aren't. We had 1 against Colorado We had 2 against Troy We had 1 against Michigan We had 3 against Purdue We had 5 tonight (two were off-setting so they aren't officially in the total) So we've never even had six in a single game, much less average six. 3 Quote Link to comment
