Why can't a major football program life Nebraska get a kicker??? Bench him now!!! And and insult to injury, Northwestern let a walk kicker from Lincoln Northeast be a preferred walk on in their program this year. Why weren't we looking at him??? Quote Link to comment
Huskers93-97 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Serious question- should we just start going for 2 every time? If we connect on 50% it’s just like kicking PAT Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I feel like we need a thread on firemen Also...Ziggy needs about 25 touches in the second half of this horrible game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

He never stopped any of the Texas and OU offenses while in the Big 12. He was fortunate that Callahan recruited Suh, and was blessed to get Lavonte David here. The only thing that I will give Pelini is that his defenses were more consistent overall. Since we know that defense is a lot about the previously recruited talent, why is it a surprise our "Riley" defense struggles? Quote Link to comment

BoNeyard Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 The offense shows glimpses of greatness, than quarters of immobility. Defense has done just enough even though they really haven't played well with getting zero pressure on NW's QB and NW wide receivers seeming to be wide open on every play. Shocked the Northwestern O has only scored 7 points. Special Teams shouldn't take more than an off season to correct. It's a pretty simple task, especially when it comes to kicking. You have several hours of practice, my question is what do the punters and kickers do during those hours? You have on job, just do it. Extremely winnable game that I sure hope Nebraska pulls out.

But his defenses kept us in games. Why is that so hard to admit. They weren't always dominant especially against the best big 10 offenses but they were the strength of his teams. Go back and watch some of his final years. We didn't win 9 games each year by offensive explosions... No, not really mad at poor old Bo. We did win 9 games a year with him, and that wasn't good enough. He never really won a game that he wasn't suppose to win either. Hell, Riley won games in his second year here, so whats that really prove by winning 8-9 games a season? Like I said, his defense were more consistent and did do a better job than what he have seen recently, but take out SUH and David on some of those teams, his overall numbers were not great either against Top 25 teams.

Moiraine Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I hope Northwestern’s tendencies hold true for this game and they don’t score much on the 2nd half and we score a lot. Also, that drive of ours was very impressive considering it was right after the fumble. 1 Quote Link to comment

If we connect on 50% it’s just like kicking PAT Thought the same thing. Why not go for most 4th downs due to our punting issues and why not go for 2 instead of PAT's? Why not? While Frost was at Oregon it seemed the Ducks always looked to go for 2 instead of just a PAT. Lets incorporate that mentality to us since our kicking is terrible. Quote Link to comment

Otherwise his defenses couldn't stop an offense with a pulse. It's a reason Nebraska only won 9 games and their 4 losses were usually by pretty big margins against any team that showed a pulse.

dspanther05 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Defensive cannot come out a lay an egg on this opening posession. Maybe a turnover? I know that is a crazy concept . Quote Link to comment
