*** Official Maryland Game Thread ***

BTN guys just talked about how "powerful" this offense looks.

 

And we're without two of our starting WRs, and no Mo Washington, and Martinez seems dinged up.

 

Imagine this offense if it was fully healthy.  This is why we need a bowl game.

[Huckleberry Muhammad]

Nebraska still ahead?  I had to go to the bathroom.

[BoNeyard]

This is fun!

40%. They’re pretty much a crappier Wisky, especially on offense. If Martinez will pull his head out of his rectum and make plays, we can win. 
 

But the Martinez playing today has zero shot of winning against Iowa. Some of our success is purely luck borne and seizing it from what appeared to be sure gaffes on Martinez.

 

 

Bold - we put up 21 on Wiscy and 500 yards of offense. If we have 400 yards against Iowa, I'm just about certain we'll have more points.

 

Italics - yes, definitely. Gotta clean that up, but that is not going to happen this year.

 

[BoNeyard]

Team playing with heart and determination! Playing like a bowl game is on the line!

[Huskerchief]

I’m really enjoying the adjustments from last week and this week by running the ball just outside the tackles instead of in between, it’s allowed Mills to go beast mode.

We have one of the worst points-to-yards ratios over the last two years as anyone in the nation.

 

Bold statement.

Hope the team keeps it up, don't want to see a 24  41 final.

First Half Obeservations

• FINALLY. The entire Nebraska program needed a game like this.
• Maryland must have their calendar wrong, because they were giving out Christmas gifts left and right in that first half.
• Great to see the younger players (Rhamir Johnson, McCaffery, Henrick) getting game time experience.
• There might be a QB competition next year. Some people disagree, and that's fine. My opinioin is I don't care who you are playing...you just can't allow your starting QB to give up multiple turnovers when you're in the red zone, and Adrian has done that today unfortunately.

Things I'd Like To See in the Second Half

1. Put the game away early, and get a lot of the 2nd and 3rd string game experience.
2. Use the big lead to work on on our running game.

 

FINAL THOUGHTS :

• Next week against Iowa is a winnable game. GET. BOWL. ELIGABLE.

[Moiraine]

Now stomp on their throats in the 3rd quarter and let's beat Iowa.

 

Was this McCaffrey's 3rd game or 4th?

[SFW]

Best pass for the game was McCaffery

 

A-Mart stinks

[bugeater17]

I think Frost sits Martinez in the 2nd half to keep him healthy and get Vedral a series and then play McCaffrey the rest of the way.

Nice hot take,. +1

[Hayseed]

It’s obvious Martinez is the best QB even though he’s screwing up a lot. To think some rookie would come in, not see any receivers and scramble almost every time, and put up more than 14 points is... just a second, I spit my beer.

That teacher guy turned out to be right. Still, the O coaches need to get Martinez to clean up his sloppy plays. Some of the play calls against the grain are ill-advised as well.

I believe it was his 3rd.
