Am I the Only On Who's Extremely Happy with the Game?

[Husker Z]

I said it last week as well, this type of game is perfect for Bo and the staff. Last week, Bo was giddy because he had something to be pissed about and hammer home all week to the defense. He now has the same thing this week, with the offense. Last week, the D made mental errors over and over and this week, the O did the same thing. Both the O and D have looked REALLY good at times, but what's held both of them back is the mental side, the concentration level has dropped significantly when the games got out of hand.

One thing that Bo has been able to do in his short tenure is take the mistakes made in one game and hammer the point home in the upcoming week and the team responds. Pretty sure the offense got a royal a$$ chewing after Saturday and ANY mental mistake that happens in practice this week will warrant a semi meltdown from the coaches.

Again, Bo is VERY happy where they sit right now. They have looked dominant on BOTH sides of the ball, but he has something to rail on the players over, mental issues, which are more correctable than when you just aren't talented.

I have a feeling both sides put it together this week and they absolutely dominate Washington. Historically Bo's teams thrive in road situations against good teams and I expect them to come out this week breathing fire and Martinez will have his coming out party and we flat out roll Washington.

I sure hope so anyway.

GO BIG RED!

I think you are probably right. The D looked pretty good and the O struggled a little. I would expect both of them to get things right this week and we play the best ball we have played all year on saturday. Which equals a big time win.

31-3, and it is hard to maintain the necessary level of focus. it is not an excuse, but it is true.

One thing about Bo is, he never seems to want to run up the score on teams. I guess thats a good thing, but it also can be bad. Id like to see him go all out no matter how much we win by and just dominate. Seems that once we get up by a comfy lead, we lose the edge with the comfort zone. Id like to see 65-0 games etc, just so people on this forum stop thinking the sky is falling just because we dont beat teams 45-0 anymore. Idaho was a good team. 8-5 bowl team last year. I bet Ne dominates washington.

I agree 100%, it's just hard to continue to ramp up when the game is a laugher. Not to mention the offense only had, what, 7 snaps in the second quarter? It was a strange game and as we've shown in the past, fumbling is contagious. I expect the coaches to spend a lot of time in the film room this week with the players and the kids won't like what they see/hear.

I hope to hell, this was our ISU game for the year, but all in all, it happened at the right time and I really think Bo and the coaches will get it corrected this week. It's all about focusing, mentally, and keeping your head in the game for 4 quarters. The D didn't do it last week and the O didn't do it this week. The D corrected it this week, let's hope the O corrects it in Seattle.

I like our chances.
