MSU gives up 91YPG on the ground. We have at the moment 212 yards on the ground. We are moving the defense cleans it up and we roll ball,

I hope. Inconsistent play is just infuriating.

Anyone remember Fast Eddie from years back? back-up place kicker

do you mean eddie neil from pasadena?

Just keep pounding the rock, and if a couple plays don't work as well, don't go full retard and start winging the ball everywhere...

be patient, and keep running the ball

Second Quarter Impressions:

• The zone-read MUST be Nebraska's bread & butter run play as long as Taylor Martinez is our QB.
  
• Congratulations to Taylor on becoming Nebraska's All-Time Leader in Career Total Yards. He has been scrutinized over his career, sometimes justified, other times not, however one thing cannot be understated...the young man never quits! Congratulations Taylor!
  
• The biggest thing holding Nebraska back over the past 5 years is undisciplined play and stupid penalties. This has to be the #1 focus to fix this offseason.
  
• You can clearly see that when our zone-read/power running game is working our offensive line loves it! It sets up the play-action passing game which they do a better job of blocking than they do at straight drop-back passing.
  
• Defense is starting to settle into this game. That's a positive sign.
  

Things I would like to see in the 2nd half:

• Keep running the zone-read.
  
• Start establishing a power running game with Imani Cross on short yardage situations.
  
• With the receivers locked down on the outside, use the play-action passing game to get the TE's involved in the game down the middle of the field.
  
• Finally, keep Martinez involved in the running game until Michigan State proves they can stop it.
  

+1 to you for your analysis. I think that you're spot-on on all accounts. This game is ours to win or lose.

I appreciate the +1. I am just throwing out my two-cents like the rest you great Husker fans. Sometimes I am way off base with these things. I really do think that Nebraska is going to come out in this 2nd half and gash them with the running game.

LOL....Husker_x...sometimes your posts annoy me, even though most often I agree with your point. Just realized it is your clown pic that pisses me off for some reason. LOL

 

[RedNLeader]

yes some kind of a pass rush would be great...I mean where the hell is it at? The blackshirts were in the backfield the whole game last week.

 

[The Maudfather]

Good gang tackling there!

 

[lo country]

Stand him up and get the strip

 

[MLB 51]

Now we just need to stop their passing game.

 

[walksalone]

there we go... blitz on this 3rd down

 

[The Maudfather]

I'd like to see us bring the heat on this third down.

 

[MLB 51]

Pitt up 10-6 at the half.

 

[mnhusker]

The black shirts on doing a better job with team tackling and closing quick
