Fordham Week Pressers

[Decked]

It also kinda floors me that we employ a mediocre RB coach while on one of the best in the conference is on staff in a non-coaching role

That may be true. However Held seems to be a beast on the recruiting trails.

Recruited to be like Tarzan and they come here and play like Jane 

Has to be one of the most overrated guys on this staff

Imagine being a student this week.  Last week they get worked by the Illini and this week the big home opener is Fordham.

Student section is going to be dead

Frost said this on Saturday as well.  I'm sure not which is dumber.  Saying it in the first place or repeating it.  It feels like he wants to get fired.

I liked it better when we were sliding into DM's

It would help us maintain our #1 position in buyout dollars paid.

I’m failing to see how a better RB could have gained more yards on Saturday.

I mean, maybe if they had Tecmo Bo Jackson?

TV had a great angle from behind the ref who made the call showing him watch the hit on the QB, the ball still in the air, then the INT, then he reached for his flag. The QB was already on the ground before the pass was intercepted, but he didn't make the call until after the pick. 

Also, Illinois was not called for holding the entire game, despite having three sacks and their starting QB knocked out in the first quarter. 

Now, having said that, NONE of that is an excuse for how the team collapsed. But two things can be true - we can suck, and the refs can make questionable calls. Just saying for all of you "I'm sick of people blaming the refs" folks who can't understand that it doesn't have to be one or the other. It can be both.

Didn't they specifically make a point of not driving/spiking the QB to the ground in the rules? That's what Tannor looked like he did when I watched the replay. They didn't show the taunting but even if he did taunt, that would've just been added back to the end of the return, I think. 

But yeah, the fact that Illinois wasn't called for one holding and Nebraska was called for a holding when the official responsible for calling holding was out of the game is pretty damning. 

It's incredible how the offensive lines of our opponents manage to play a perfectly disciplined game whenever Nebraska lines up on the other side.

Ouch.  And consistent with the lack of urgency I've heard.

Noon start times.  Pathetic staff.

But he's a great recruiter.........So say people.  I'd have let him go last year. And Verduzco.
