On a positive note, we finally have an accurate QB and a pro-level punter.

In their quiet moments, I'm almost certain they expected to be up against the Wildcats at half.  Pretty big.

 

They're down.  And if Scott stumbles here he knows it;'s not good for him.

 

Yeah but it's not like they're going to switch to an offense they haven't practiced in the middle of a game. 

 

People have been trying to push this narrative since Whipple was hired and it just doesn't make any sense.

Honestly, we will be fine and we get an ugly win. Defense is confused. Make adjustments and bring home the win. Fix the defense next week in practice. Heinrich needs his blackshirt pulled. Period. 

Having Reimer out is pretty huge

Has Ochaun Mathis been mentioned even once? 

He was mentioned basically because he hasn’t been mentioned.

We aren't exactly known for our second half adjustments.

Good gut check game one.  NU has to win this one.

One thing for sure, NU will win. One of them anyway.

There’s no excuse to not dial up pressure in second half.  What they are doing isn’t working.  If you are going to keep getting beat, at least get beat trying something different.

I know. 3-20 when trailing at the half?!?!  I just ripped open the liquor cabinet.

Sadly, didn't notice TBH.  When did he go out?

[Wistrom Disciple]

Biggest frustration was the missed tackles, led by the captains. Nelson in the backfield a couple times and whiffing… same problem he’s had since he got here. Needs to figure it out as these backs are not the quickest we’ll face this season. Big half ahead to determine how this season can go

[Comish]

Chin? Busch?   Come on down....

I'm just saying watch Scott's demeanor and "influence" this half

Hey we're beating them in total yards, 3rd down eff., yards per pass and first downs!

And none of that matters if we’re behind on the scoreboard
