Why all the blowouts?

I know this has been touched on in other threads, but I thought it deserved a thread of it's own. If not, it won't hurt my feelings if it is deleted.

Losing close hurts but you can get over it. Losing by a couple of TDs sucks but it happens if some things don't go your way. Why the blowouts? How do mediocre teams play close games against superior competition? I honestly thought we were done with this type of game after coming back against MSU.

Someone posted a graphic of NU's worst beatdowns and many of the worst belong to Bo. Added another one to the list yesterday. Most of the country is laughing at us right now. How do we give up 56 unanswered points? Tomlinson set the rushing record on 43 carries against Texas EL-PASO. Gordon did it on 25 carries against NEBRASKA.

My theory: Bo is too damn stubborn. He talks about scheme and execution, but when players can't execute the scheme he refuses to adjust. It's almost like he says, "You guys can't run my scheme? Fine, get blown out." Bo is too stubborn to be a HC. It's embarrassing.

"after coming back against MSU. "



The MSU game was over when we "came back."

"Most of the country is laughing at us right now."

Most of the country could care less about us. Its just the Husker haters in Husker Hot Spots.

"Tomlinson set the rushing record on 43 carries against Texas EL-PASO. Gordon did it on 25 carries against NEBRASKA."

Maybe we are Texas - El Paso.

We thought we hired a defensive guru and it turned he couldn't carry a guru's jock strap.

The Ohio State game in 2012 might have been a different game since they were a very good team, albeit on probation, but they did wind up undefeated, correct? But you can't give up almost 700 yards that same year against a Bruin team that got wiped out 50-0 the year before against USC. How about giving up 70 to a 7-5 Badger team that same year? If we are going up against FSU or somebody it might be slightly easier to take, but for the most part, we are making decent or just good teams look like freaking world beaters!

Yeah that UCLA game in Pasadena, and the inept game against Texas in Lincoln were awful. Just terrible games that felt like we were significantly worse then them. They were both unranked teams while we were ranked and gaining some attention. I remember the TV ad-spots all week and couldn't wait for those game days.

In two losses to Wisconsin in 2012 and 2014 the Badgers have gone for 1,267 total yards of offense and scored 129 points against the Huskers."Somewhere along the way it was like our guys totally lost their confidence," head coach Bo Pelini said following the loss. "Our tackling was atrocious, we had some missed assignments, obviously we got beat. I give them credit." "It seems the gates kind of opened after that and I don't have an answer as to why," Papuchis said after Gordon series of big runs. "We played with a lot of swagger in the first quarter and for some reason when they started making plays and we started falling apart and I can't tell you why that happened."

---Talk about accountability? These coaches are clueless

Those quotes are absolutely terrifying

f'ing clueless coaches...worthless!
