Yes. Yes it is a blowout in that case. The OLine protected his a$$ until the fumble. TA couldn't hit the broad side of a barn today and it almost cost us.
If we could sustain drives in the second half you think the D plays as tired as they did?

Beck really should self-scout a little more.
His love of the deep ball and failure to believe in a zone read vs an over-matched opponent on 3rd and 2 is embarrassing
imho, our lack of utilization of AA on short swing passes (or anything in space) has been apparent for 3 long years.
Consistently puzzling...........??

He couldn't hand him the ball because they were stacking the line and forcing TA to pass. Which we found out that his is just a crappy as J. Lord was. Not to mention the OL is hot garbage. Which is why they threw a short pass to get him out in space to save Bo's butt yet again.
Overall this was just a pathetic effort from top to bottom minus Ameer and Jordan. Year seven and we need luck to beat the team that saved Franks job in 2002. It would have been ironic if the same team would have put the final nail in Bo's HC coffin at NU.

And instead of using his head and inserting a FB and actually lining up TE's where they are supposed to, instead of in the slot, on a run play would make a difference....
Beck moronic a$$ was lining up 3 Wideouts and continuing to run the ball, thats just stupid...

He could have tried that too. But at some point we need TA to throw better if we are going to avoid a bad season.

seeing how our defense allowed a pretty easy td on their first drive, i think we had reason to be concerned about our defensive play.
I mean, maybe... but did you not see Abdullah getting stuffed at or behind the line repeatedly through the game? I'm sure Beck would have loved to just lean on Abdullah, but when the line is letting guys blow past them every single time, it is kinda hard to do that.
I'm not defending Beck here, don't get me wrong. He called a terrible terrible game, and we've seen it way too many times. But I don't see any evidence that handing off to Abdullah more would have helped anything with the way our O-Line was playing.. they apparently cannot handle speed at all.
My biggest problem today is what the f*ck happened at halftime? We came out and went 3-and-out 3 straight times, got basically gifted a field goal (drive started in MCNST territory), then went 3-and-out 3 more times, then got bailed out in a huge way by abullah on what looked like was going to be another 3-and-out.
I fault Beck more than I fault Papuchis, but neither one of them had the resume to justify being coordinators at NU, and they sure as sh#t haven't proven themselves since they've been here.. this goes double for Tim Beck. If this is how he re-invents himself, it should be pretty damn clear he doesn't know what he's doing.
I don't really want to compare Bo to Callahan but I'm going to anyway: Callahan largely doomed himself by hiring buddies and refusing to replace guys who obviously weren't cutting it (Cosgrove). Beck is turning into Bo's Cosgrove in a hurry.
