Still worried about our run game. 

Me too.

 

I'm honestly worried about our base running game. And it's not what they're trying to do, it's how they're trying to do it.

 

It also concerns me how easily our running backs go down after barley taking a hit from the defense. Nebraska I-backs of old would wrestle for every damn yard before going to the ground.

Dude looks worn out

Frost is a Nebraska fan. He’s probably frustrated with this staff and team like the rest of us.

They are running in like they just won the game 

 

I'm just glad they have some enthusiasm

Fordham having too much success against our Defense, and we have little run game. It’s refreshing to see Nebraska ahead. But Fordham is having more success than I wanted to see.

Wow! It’s like someone flipped a switch! Great drives, running the ball, another interception. 
yeah, it’s Fordham but hey, we’re seeing some new faces and Adrian is playing fairly clean.

It really seems like we are just playing a base defense. Almost like Chin didn't think we'd need to mix it up and be as aggressive as we were against Illinois

20 years ago Nebraska is up 42-0 at halftime, actually I stand corrected, they aren’t because Fordham football doesn’t even exist.

No pash rush. Our zone D is Swiss cheese.

Sevion is obviously the most complete back and Stepp is the most imposing. Why is Ervin starting?

Because Ervin know the playbook the best, or Stepp and Seven are in Bo's doghouse or any other excuse used in the past

Toure is having the impact we expected Manning to have.

 

Imagine if we were getting this production from both guys.

I think most people figured Toure would be the dependable guy you looked at when you needed a first. Omar was always looked at as a big play magnet. He has one. Needs some more. Imagine if we had Martin, Toure, and Manning all humming like they should. 
 

 

+ a stud RB & a blocking OL.

I don't think anything is obvious at this point

Exactly.  It's great to see.  They haven't quit.... yet

[DefenderAO]

OLine looks better against a Division 2 pass rush, and receivers look more assertive in routes against that coverage talent. Here’s hoping to momentum carries into the 2nd half and has them thinking less and playing on instinct more for games moving forward. 

[Wistrom Disciple]

Any word on why Martin hasn’t made it in today? Or did I miss him out there?
