Don't shank it

 

[DTrain2020]

TD here and it may be getting tough

Hey look at that screen pass. I wonder why we don't call it more?

 

[VectorVictor]

Am I the only one thinking the blackshirts were a week or two premature?

 

[Hammerhead]

Note to this offense: you're trying to get the ball into MSU's end zone, not your own.

 

[DrunkOffPunch]

O-line isn't getting it done.

 

[Norhusker]

Imploding.

 

[NUance]

Phantom interception. Two PIs to give Sparty a TD. Sparty passes for a 40 yd TD when we have double coverage on the guy. How many times can we shoot ourselves in the foot? f#*k. We should be blowing these guys out.

 

[The Duke]

We are giving them this game!

1. Stupid penalties
   
2. Poor tackling
   
3. And the biggest one of them all......still no pressure with our front four!
   

Sounds familiar doesn't it?

Sadly it is. Sadly these are no longer considered anomalies for Nebraska, but rather it has become a really bad habit.

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

Thankfully he punted it A LOT better there....................these defense needs to do a 180 and revert back to what we seen last week when Michigan's freshman was in. Pressure this damn kid, dial up some blitzes and he'll screw up! COME ON BO!

Tim Beck, dazzling the MSU defense with his patented "Short Bus" offense...

 

[MichiganDad3]

Is it just me, or was NU killing MSU with the zone read?

 

[Paul in WI]

RUN THE ZONE-READ BECK!!!

+1000

WTH at that sequence of playcalls

The reverse on 1st down was a gamble. Pass play on 2nd and long I think was fine. Taylor should have thrown it away though at the end. Screen pass on 3rd and forever is designed to get us a nice chunk of yards on a high percentage play. With the chance of a playmaker in space really taking it far. Assuming a screen pass is actually a high percentage play for us.

Anyway, everyone has been calling for screen passes and this was a perfect situation for it.

I still would contend it isn't something we're really effective at.

We need our D do do something spectacular this drive
