It doesnt matter who there QB is... with this defense, coaching staff and O-line... We will never sniff the top 10.Nebraska will never be in the top 10 with T-Magic behind center.

True, you do wonder what a pump fake might do there. And while I think TM has sufficent arm strength to throw the out, I will also say it obviously is not his best throw. And there you do have to question Beck about having him make that throw, but it still comes down to if the ball is thrown in the correct spot, worst case is an imcompletion. I didn't see TM drop back on that play, was he locked on the receiver the entire time?I was thinking just the opposite. I think we threw that same pass a couple of times against Wiscy and was the pass that Bielema had in mind when he made the comment at halftime about floating passes. OSU recognized it and Roby jumped the route so badly I don't think it mattered where Taylor placed the ball. Roby would have gotten a hand on it. At best it would have been an incompletion. An out and up route could have burned them badly if we had identifed tight coverage.I would agree with the OL part. But I don't have a problem with Becks playcalling. This board has been rippping him for not continuing to pound the ball with the running game. We started that game pounding the ball and it was getting us nothing, forcing us into long yardage situations on 3rd down and putting TM in obvious passing situations. And we know how that often turns out. It still comes down to, if a play works everyone loves it, if it doesn't, it was a bad call. I like the way Beck has been mixing things up.Go have some cheese and crackers and get off of T-Mart's back. Beck's play calling and an O-L that stinks are the problem. That's the end of the story.CheeseHusker said:Four turnovers is unacceptable. Period. End of story.

And the bottom line is that no matter what the play call, only one guy is throwing the pass. The pick six wasn't caused by the call, it was caused by a ball thrown badly behind the receiver. If he puts it out in front, it's a first down for us and we're still moving.

It could be that the offense is very hard to learn and the backups are just not picking it up. It could be that Taylor isn't picking up the passing aspects either judging by the way he throws right into coverage. It probably takes a special kind of vision and timing to hit receivers in tight coverage the way the pros do and it's possible most college QB's will never "get it" just like everyone doesn't get calculus.It almost appeared that they were protecting Taylor by not allowing him to run. Is this another indication that our backup QB's are a big step behind TM and that if he were to be injured we'd be completely lost?
That's true...it didn't help to spot them 14 points with dumb passes but the D had no answer for B. Miller.It doesnt matter who there QB is... with this defense, coaching staff and O-line... We will never sniff the top 10.Nebraska will never be in the top 10 with T-Magic behind center.
Hasn't this been said quite a bit about the defense also. Is it possible we are way too complicated on both sides of the ball and spend so much time trying to get the sytems down that the basics are overlooked?It could be that the offense is very hard to learn and the backups are just not picking it up.

TM might have been locked on the whole time but I think it's meant to be a quick throw without time to look off so it probably doesn't matter. It's more important for Beck to realize that it wouldn't work given OSU's personnel and pass defense. Pump fake would have been perfect given how bad Roby was jumping the route. We seem to be discovering a lot about what works and doesn't with our fledgling passing attack. At least we didn't try those short passes to the middle that we ran against Wiscy that were either batted down or TM threw into the back of our O-linemenTrue, you do wonder what a pump fake might do there.

Yay grammar Nazi time!SECHusker said:Almost as unacceptable as your post in a thread supporting T-Mart.CheeseHusker said:Four turnovers are unacceptable. Period. End of story.
The kid had a bad game. He'll bounce back with our support.

Taylor had a really rough game, and a lot of this loss can be put on his shoulders, but I still want him as our QB.
