[Apsu]

Plenty of time for three more TDs!

 

[CheeseHusker]

What is that, like 10-2 in penalties?

 

[3rd and long]

My God, basic fundamentals like NOT lining up offsides. 

 

[lo country]

We can't get out of our own way.

To steal an old football quote, "Let's matriculate the ball down the field, boys."

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

these penalties are killing us.

 

[teachercd]

I could've worked OT tonight and made some extra money instead of watching this crap! I'll take the money next time.  :angry:

Aren't you a fireman?  You dudes are all set for life without having to do much at all!  I kid I kid

Also...we all just want the Skers to win by 14.5

My God, basic fundamentals like NOT lining up offsides. 

Fundamental remediation time. 

 

[hskerprid]

Our players aren't looking for the first down yellow marker for TV are they? How can you line up offsides??

 

[Swiv3D]

I wish I felt good about this upcoming drive

 

[HuskerNation1]

Illinois has had several missed holding calls. The officiating is not balanced tonight. Not excusing our mistakes but Illinois is making penalties too.

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

Let's hope the O puts together another good drive here, we can't seem to do basic football well. I don't understand that and it's been a problem at Nebraska for years now through several different coaches!  :dunno

 

[lincoln84]

This staff does not get these guy ready to play sound football and I don’t get it. 

 

[knapplc]

Our average starting field position tonight is our own 18 yard line.

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

Illinois has had several missed holding calls. The officiating is not balanced tonight. Not excusing our mistakes but Illinois is making penalties too.

To be fair, I've noticed quite a few holds by our OL that haven't been called.
