Heisman Trophy Winner
I'm not so sure I'm on board with that. In fact, I'm not. I listened to the game.This is a tough game to make any conclusions from. We gave up a lot of yards and gave them the ball for waaaaay too long (over 100 PLAYS!!)), BUT we came up with big stops and got 4 turnovers.
Our offense scored only 28 pts and we got the ball at the 3 for one of those scores. It's was a game that we won handily in the second half and we played very average for us so that is a good sign. We are still having trouble with drops.
I really hope we can get everything clicking at once next week.
I don't think we should criticize them nor praise them much....other than the big interceptions.
Praise:
Suh - he banged up his knee, returned later and was a big part of the stopping the run & clogging up the middle.
McKeon - I constantly heard his named called for making a lot of big hits & getting tackles.
Ruud - It was 21-10, ISU inside the 10 and he intercepted a pass off a deflection and took it 93 yards to the house. How HUGE of a turnaround was that? Very.
Grixby - Interceptions are big and when you do it, that's making a play. How big was the kickoff return to set up the two minute offense before half?
The two minute offense before half & trailing - It worked. They scored a touchdown to go up at half time. That's not automatic. They almost did it again with less than 50 seconds. But the effort deserves the praise. Keller throws the ball away and they kick a FG next time rather than staying in bounds. He'll be reminded & learn from it.
Swift & Purify made several key catches to keep drives going.
Huskers were favored and won. So was OU and they loss. Enjoy the victory brotha.
There's more but I'm done typing...
