I like the game plan thus far.  Eat clock and yards.

I think setting iowa up for PA.  Draw the safeties up to catch them looking into the backfield

I love it! Use how Iowa wants to play the game against them. We can always go up-tempo when we need to.

 

The other thing is we needed a slow sustained drive to help calm any nerves Smothers or the offense might have had with a new QB under center.

Nice! 

[DefenderAO]

That drive looked like a 9-2 team vs a 3-8 team.

 

Smooth Smothers

[lo country]

Here's to hoping the D can get a stop on this drive.  Iowa is not built to play from behind.  If we could get up 14....

TOUCHDOWN HUSKERS! Great way to start the game!

[knapplc]

Does it seem like Yant is running hesitant so far? He needs to hit the hole harder.

[chamrocck]

Good start. I’d like to see his short-mid passing game, if he reads and gets ball out quick.

It seems smothers is in sync with Yant and Toure. I like this young guy. He might have a future at Nebraska. Let us hope our defense holds with so many injuries.

You can't spell Smooth with out Smoothers....

I just hope the D is in top form today. Can't remember the last time we brought our "A" game on both sides of the ball.

[admo]

Who's your daddy?!

 

Great opening drive for TD

 

[observer3]

Even hit the PAT.   

 

Fired on all cylinders for that drive!   Well after taking that silly delay of game out of the gate.

D gonna get exposed to the same exact running style from last week. Need Daniels so bad.

Just remember we said the same thing about McCaffrey last year. Gotta see him over an extended period before an accurate assessment can be made.

I am sure part of it is trying to "make sure" he doesn't make a mistake.  Hoping he will warm up if they keep feeding him
