I don't think we would've lost this game last year. In fact, it felt eerily like the Wake Forest game.MCAT800 said:
The first two games of the season are hardly the measure we should be using to evaluate Bo. The real yardstick will be where he goes from here, now that we know what we're working with.

Herbstreit sucked bo's d!(k wayyyy too much to be like that.....
one thing i'm not getting though... 1st it was our offense that was amazing and our defense that needed all the improvement... now people are saying our offense sucks... the team didn't look good no.... but hopefully watson realized something this weekend... and that is that Helu is the guy. Thinking about it this running back situation reminds me a lot of what we had a few years back... not exactly, because i think this core is more talented all around... but remember BJax's sr year... we had Lucky who was "the future of nebraska football" with all his speed, and cody glenn who was running people over (now he just flipped sides), and then Brandon Jackson who did both things.. could do it all.. that reminds me of helu... now im not saying this is the exact same thing here, but Helu seems like the guy that can do it all, a lot more so than the other 2 can. Its like when lucky is out there, we are running him up the middle because people know he can run outside, so they'd play that.. the look i did like too though was the lucky at rb and castille at fb... options there..... but i don't think it takes a genius to realize that castille is better up the middle and lucky on the outside.....
but anyways, nobody is gonna run him out of town... nobody that has any sense that is... i think the way the defense held up when its back was against the wall so to speak, was pretty good.. yea they gave up too many yards to a lot of peoples liking, but their half back was running people over, which i didn't like to see at all.... and they seemed to confuse us, but we did hold up in the end... even if their kicker did help us...

Bo can't turn left, everyone knows it.

I know this is what message boards are all about, but are you people serious? The fact that someone even felt need to start this "don't turn on Bo" thread is ridiculous. Yes, the penalties on offense were troubling and we didn't win by as many points as we thought we should have, but I've seen more aggressive plays and pressure on defense in two games than I did all of last season. The enthusiasm alone that he's brought back to the program is incredible. Bo is the right man for the job, just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Bo is the right coach to help get this program going in the right direction. He has the attitude and coaching mindset that is right for this program. I'm behind him 110%........................GO HUSKERS!

Turn on Bo??? Hell no. I see fire, determination, and will to play.
We may have some kinks to work out but they are playing with heart and that is how it starts.
GO BO!!!

Win or Tie..
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not sure I'd be comfortable around a "turned on" Bo.
There's a big difference between this (whole) coaching staff and the previous one..Even the coaches that were on both staffs I suspect.
It was easier to want to get rid of Callahan as opposed to Frank Solich..And NOT just because of the win/loss record..It was the WAY we were losing and the elimination of some mighty important traditions..I just don't see Bo doing that.
That's just it..Touchdown Tommie said:
Pretty sure Bo's "System" is supposed to fit ALL players..Give these players time..It's not automatic yet where they're just running on learned instinct..
Not sure what "Bad Habits" you're talking about..or what makes them so hard to (un)instill..People have been ganging up on Coz and Cal for so long, I forgot what they actually did as far as coaching goes.
But your statement reminds me a little of what some of us were saying about Callahan and getting "His players" in the system..For some reason, that had more of an effect on his Defense..even though it was the Offense that was changing philosophy so drastically.

Oh. I can think of one bad habit I didn't see until Cosgrove arrived. Two different types of tackling techniques: 1) pushing the offensive player out of bounce and 2) arm tackling.
Both do not work all that well, as we saw during the first three quarters of the SJS game.
