It starts with the lines. We just aren't the same in the trenches anymore and haven't been for some time.

Post of the season.

This pretty much sums up Nebraska's struggles in these big games for the better part of 12 years.

We have the skill positions and at least probably the back 7 on D, but the trenches....... maybe DL next year. I'd pay money for 3 juco DE's.........

This, and I also agree with what you said earlier.

Langsdorf and the offense have to find a way to utilize a counter/misdirection running scheme in this offense. Saying "we don't have guards that can pull well" is just a flat-out excuse.

Langsdorf & Riley have to find a way to get this offense into 3rd & manageable, and control the clock. How many times on 2nd down tonight have we just thrown a moon-shot deep ball down the sideline to no avail...leaving a 3rd & long.

Sad part is, I can't even mad anymore. This has been the norm 18 years now.

Same here...I think we have the talent. Now the staff though.........at least the coordinators

I think the opposite. Why do you think we have the talent ?

Is that what you think is on display tonight? Two equally talented teams with one just being severely out coached ?

I look at Carter, Westy, Reilly, DPE, Gerry, Kalu, Jones, Williams and don't see us that down in talent. On the ol, yes. DE, yes... but play calling blows. Langs is officially in the same boat as Watson and beck. Banker, please.

Sorry, but it's not really close. Morgan is pretty much the only player on offense good enough to play on a team like OSU. Gerry would play on defense, and Carter at TE.
The guys you listed are Nebraska player good, not start on a top 5 team good. Thats 19 out of 22 positions OSU has an edge.

And unfortunately Morgan hasn't had a very good night.

 

[Jonathan Paul]

Well...let's see if we can do anything but suck foot.
​Maybe Langs and banker will surprise me with critical thinking for once.

 

[Jason Sitoke]

Ryker Fyfe may actually succeed...provided the playcalling is actually conducive towards allowing Fyfe to use his arm and not try his best Tommy emulation attempt.

Now Beckson needs to call pocket passing plays......he will probably dial up qb draws and more RPO......

Or QB option plays to the boundary that we've been wanting all year long.

What...exactly...makes you believe that going outside is going to succeed tonight? I want to know.

Because it was, save for when we had Ozigbo (our best North/South power runner) running the play. Or were you not paying attention when Tommy got the first on a boundary play (that he got hurt on)?

Huh? One play.
Have you watched our sweep plays...like...at all? How many have gone for positive yards? Answer anything above zero and you're wrong

Wrong. Our first series had three such plays that went for positive yardage. When Langsdorf got stupid and called boundary/finesse plays with Ozigbo in the backfield is when we were getting stuffed.

Our first series had 3 plays total. One being a pick six. Try again.

Didn't count that one since it was such a failure. I'm talking about the one we got our FG on.

But go ahead and keep acting like a d***--you're still wrong, and will continue to be wrong.

Lol. Enjoy the game

Not going to win, but I think Gerry, westy, etc will play with some heart. Have to play a solid second half and move on to the next. Play to get into the big champ

That's not going to happen unless Wisky falters...and I don't think they will the rest of the year.

And do you really want this team to go up against Michigan?

That's possible with Wisconsin. And if it means playing in champ game vs not, yes.

I dunno...is there anything gained by being boatraced in our second straight B1G Title Game appearance? Just thinking big picture.

In other games in progress, Oregon currently losing to USC 45-13 midway through the 4th.

Take a look at the lines. That is where we are lacking. Agree with others who are saying we cannot win these types of games with three walk ons

 

[shyndy]

Hold on that play too

 

[lo country]

Kicked in the nutz

 

[Redux]

Again, Urban Meyer can stick it.

 

[Touchdown Tommie]

Hang on fellas. This team is a dagnabit joke. Just throw your hands up and not make any plays

 

[Husker_luver]

They just held the s*** out of Freedom in that

 

[NebraskaHarry]

Heads are gonna spin after tonight.

 

[ColoradoHusk]

It looks like a Riley coached team can quit like a Pelini coached team.

 

[Walter Sobchak]

man...Samuel's speed is evident.
