whateveritis1224 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 4 minutes ago, I am I said: It wasn’t just the flags. All those reviews, the delay when IU was trying to snap the ball, premature whistles, watching individual players instead of the “whole game”. We come to watch football not zebras. 19 combined penalties in the 1st half. Two not very good teams, yes. Make it worse on every play? No. That was a rule being applied correctly. If the offense subs in someone late, the defense gets a chance to sub too. Indiana ran someone one late and we sent in a couple of dlinemen. You see this everytime something like this happens. 4 1 Quote Link to comment

The spark has been ignited... now it's time to feed the flame. On another note - was I right about Malcom Hartzog, or was I right? A few people called that one. 2 Quote Link to comment

No. That delay while Indiana needed to be snapping the ball was self inflicted. Probably shouldn’t make a personnel change with only 7 seconds left on the play clock. Yeah it looked strange but it’s not because the refs flubbed that one up. 1 Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 A nice stat that's pretty telling. Regardless if our foe was Indiana. Never want to say what could've been had changes been made earlier...... 3 2 Quote Link to comment

No, I saw him in HS and right before he came in I said that I'd like to see him get in the game. One of the coaches must've been reading the thread 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment

I am I Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Fair enough. I know that rule and it sucks lol. when everyone is set and all subs are in and ready to go, they just sit there over the ball and no one can play…it’s stupid even if correct. I was just giving an example of all the refs on tv instead of players playing. just got sick of them on the screen 1 Quote Link to comment

A search of his name shows that the last time he was mentioned on this board was August 9. I made the call last night right before he came in the game and started making plays. Why is it so hard for some of you to give props to fellow Husker fans? 4 Quote Link to comment
cheekygeek Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I learned that we should show interim HC Mickey Joseph some respect & give him the support he & his staff deserve for the remainder of this season. There will be plenty of time to discuss alternatives, should they need consideration. But I feel that his experience, his character, his recruiting chops, and passion (and respect) for the Nebraska program are a winning combination that is going to be difficult to find outside of the program. Only a purposely blind man would not see that MJ has done what seemed unlikely - instill both confidence in his players & hope in the fan base - in just 2 games. I learned that having leaders with character can motivate a team to make tangible differences on the field. I forgot what it looked like when players would run through brick walls for their coaches. I learned that the odds are good that MJ and Busch will likely be poached by SOME program, if they aren’t shown the respect they earn at Nebraska & I hope it isn’t to another BiG program that NU would have to face. I learned that tackling in practice is not optional. NU cut their missed tackles by more than 50% in just 2 weeks with Busch (and 3 with MJ’s decision to reinstate it in practice). I learned we have some players that are truly Blackshirts, regardless of whether they have been given one. I learned that sitting a player that is underperforming & putting in his backup is always the right move. If that 4th Quarter is something that can be replicated consistently by the offense, we have a good chance of going bowling this year. 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment

It's probanly more impressive that it was against Indiana based on the number of offensive plays they average per game. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Lorewarn Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Busch had our guys playing fast and loose and aggressive to great success, especially in the secondary - even when they completed passes we were glued to them. Great to watch. Honestly looked like a completely different ball team - that's how you use a bye week to get right. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment
