Is it me or does Langs never run twice in a row?

 

[huskerfan92]

The offensive play calling is mind boggling on both sides...

 

[Norhusker]

The long ball is nonexistent for us.

 

[3rd and long]

WTH with all the deep passes?

 

[True2tRA]

Gotta like the defense so far, but if you watch this pass defense and don't think the CB's are just not playing smart, then you're insane. These guys have no feel for reading the receiver or playing the ball. NONE.

 

[Redman]

This is weak

 

[Norhusker]

offense sucks

 

[mwj98]

Ill say it again. The weak link on offensive line is No. 66.

 

[obert1]

I think we hate having the lead.

 

[VectorVictor]

Huh...Illinois is 40% on 3rd down, and they're blowing up our QB runs? Not really seeing how we'll blow Illinois out...

 

[walksalone]

Langsdorf = Shawn Watson 3.0

 

[huskerfan92]

Our offense is making the Illinois defense look really good so far.

Interesting all the people saying a defense on pace to give up 500 yards is playing great

Points allowed > Yards allowed.
This defense needs confidence right now. Preserving goose eggs will provide it.

Literally ANY competent team would have points on us right now (2 missed field goals and a failure to convert 4and1). I'm sick of the moral victories, it's what turns into blowouts against good teams. And those are coming.
I never thought I'd see Nebraska get shutout for a quarter by the incompetent Illinois defense. But hey... we're up 7-0 so we're gonna win the west now!

I bet you also never thought that you would need to see a play of the year type play by Ameer last year for us to survive McNeese State either.

Why does that matter? We're talking about this year.

We just got Callahaned again.
