Undone Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Huge point in the game on this one. They go three wide to see if they can get us at least somewhat spread out to think they're passing and go with the run. Henrich gets his body in there and Mathis makes the big tackle: Quote Link to comment

I just didn't like that at all. The other thing is that he's got Grant wide open in the flat also. I get "taking big shots" but this is another one where it could have turned all of the momentum back Indiana's way: After a turnover is a pretty classic time to take a shot. I guess I don't really have a problem with that thinking. "Touchdown to checkdown", as Ron Jaworski loves to say. I guess I don't have an issue with the play call. Looking to take the shot was good, although I question how open that particular shot really was. It was either a terrible decision to throw it in the first place or a terrible throw. 1 Quote Link to comment

Interestingly Joseph put most of the blame on Palmer for not getting over the top of the defender with the route on his Sunday show. But I agree, didn't look open and wasn't a great throw based on where the receiver was. Maybe it was a good throw based on where he should have been, but that doesn't count for much. 1 Quote Link to comment
Undone Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 We got bogged down in like three consecutive drives in the 3rd quarter from offensive penalties. It was a lot like watching us last year. The defense really hung in there to slow down their momentum until we found the deep bomb to Palmer. This was then a pretty big play on 3rd & long: Casey was on the money almost all night on these medium length throws. 1 Quote Link to comment

I guess you can see Palmer run into the DB trying to get underneath him. And it definitely looks like he'd be better off going over the top. So that's a fair critisism. It also doesn't surprise me that Joseph would tend to blame his position group instead of a different one. 2 Quote Link to comment
Undone Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Just always feels amazing to watch a Husker O-line create big holes in the 4th quarter. Great run blocking here with some guys playing that really didn't contribute a ton last year: 1 Quote Link to comment
Undone Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Grant puts some sauce on his block here and then gets in the guy's face a bit after the Indiana defender tries to fight him off after getting his a** kicked, love it: I really like that Whipple has this play in his playbook and called it here. Could have gone with Yant, but just fun to watch a Husker QB get a running touchdown to ice a game. 1 Quote Link to comment
Undone Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Mathis makes this play by just driving his guy back initially. Then it's his speed to pressure the QB: I really hope we see more of this down the stretch. 1 Quote Link to comment

Make the defender have to come through the reciever to break it up a d draw the PI. 1 Quote Link to comment

How many times over the years have we seen our opponent pinned inside the 10 only to march all the way down the field and score. 2 Quote Link to comment

Isn't that the same play we watched Marinez score on over and over again the last 4 years? Quote Link to comment
