Nice fake

 

[OmahaPlaya]

Gifford got a first down.  Gonna have to empty the playbook today.

 

[KazLong]

That looked like it f#&%ing hurt.

 

[LumberJackSker]

How is that not targeting?

 

[Jason Sitoke]

Why is that a PF but not targeting?  Shoulder launch at giffords head

 

[KazLong]

How is that not targeting?

Easy targeting is when one player leads with his head not, three.

That might end up being what saves this game for us....I really hope so

We are required to keep AM in the pocket

No idea.  Mind boggling play calling.  You'd never know Martinez was a dual threat.  It's almost like we figured they'd scheme to keep him from running so we fool them by keeping him in the pocket.

 

[NoLongerN]

Great, 3 and out 3 and out and 3 and out.  Our offense is playing about as well as our defense now.

Just getting beat from the inside out.  This should silence the "Iowa Sucks" crowd for a few minutes.

 

[MichiganDad3]

So we fake it and they target Gifford.

Should have been an ejection. He slid waaay before the hit.

See AM run

See AM get the first

See AM park in the pocket

See AM get sacked

 

[huskerfan74]

I hope Frost sees what happens when Martinez runs...

 

[Waldo]

Well obviously they have more then we do given our 2 year record and theirs.

Unless you think our 4-8, 4-7 teams have been more talented then their 7-5, 7-4 teams.

Eyeball test of them handling our lines says no. Records say no.

We're a Minnesota on the rise versus last year a Purdue on the way down.

I think they are better coached. 

 

[DefenderAO]

They are SLOW!  Why not do this more????

 

[HuskerNation1]

Just too harsh for the problems and players inherited.  Could be true  ... in Frost I trust.  I'd rather have cohesion and 3-4 recruiting classes with the type of players for the system before this type of talks start to dominate.

Its not just based on this year. UCF gave up lots of yards and points when they actually played tough competition. I want a dominant D....not one that relies in the offense to score 40 pts  to win.

 

[OmahaPlaya]

Dangerous hit AM took.
