1st HALF BOWL GAME THREAD!

[rrthusker]

Well we look prepared...

Looks just like our last game. Not sure anyone wants to be there or play today.

 

[Husker Sledge]

Gonna get ugly if we can't run the ball

 

[Hedley Lemar]

Their DE waltzes right around our left tackle and their skill guys pirouette to and up the sideline. Sheesh!

 

[Rocky Mtn Husker]

I like.how everybody is complaining like we suck so bad. We are playing with all our key players out against a good team in their state and we are neck and neck.

We're hanging tough.

what a surprise, our LBs arent in a position to make a play

our linebackers COULD have been in position had they hustled. Wow.

 

[TarheelHuskerFan]

You guys are pathetic. The sky is falling we down 7-0 in the 2nd qtr. I'll be with you if it turns into a blowout but it's not even close yet

 

[KingBlackshirt]

Well we look prepared...

Prep looks fine. Talent is a big diff

You can see why they want so many new linebackers

 

[schuele]

Seven point deficit feels like about 20, but please don't go one-dimensional here or you will get Fyfe killed.

 

[TwinsRRUs]

what a surprise, our LBs arent in a position to make a play

Is that on Coach Bray or the players?

Which ever it is, it needs fixed.

 

[bomber89]

Coach Cav hasnt done anything to impress me as far as coaching is concerned.

 

[little a]

Nice tackling...no passion/energy/fight....anyone want to come over and start pounding drinks?

 

[coach-ed]

We evidently didn't dedicate a lot of practice time in our bowl prep to correcting our weak tackling!

Old excuse, we are not prepared...

Defensive talent was supposedly a huge problem in 2007 too...

 

[NorthWillRiseAgain]

Nebraska is playing tough.

Only thing that worries me is all the good body language for Tennessee, and almost none for Nebraska.

 

[TheNewNU]

They are playing the run. They don't have to worry about the pass or qb run. Not much else to defend with our QB situation.

I understand but at some point we have to stop apologizing for this hapless offensive line. What Riley accomplished with a sunbelt quality front is pretty remarkable.

 

[Chuck003]

Gates getting handled going be long day

Gates has been getting handled for most of the year. This is no suprise.

 

[Rocky Mtn Husker]

So exactly how many passes hace been right on the money? I have seen several thrown behind. Are you just looking for a reason to bash Tommy?

Absolutely not bashing Tommy. I'm just saying the balls that Fyfe has been rushed to throw have been catchable but the receiver wasn't expecting the ball that soon.

 

[TruHusker]

We need to run straight at them. We are missing a key block on nearly every play and they get blown up. Gates is getting owned - everyone who thought he was NFL ready needs to reeval. Once again our right side gets burned. If T gets on a roll and catches some of those balls we are in trouble.

 

[tro80]

for the umpteenth time this year, the RDE crashed down into the line on the fake and allowed the runner to go outside for a big play. So ready for some of these guys to move on. At least there is hope the guys coming will understand some basic fundamental principals.

 

[TFrazier]

If Gates is considered out best offensive lineman...we better hope the redshirt freshman are all world next year.

 

[TarheelHuskerFan]

I agree our oline stinks. But when they know we aren't passing even a bad run d can stop the run.

 

[siebo454]

Our punters leg is gonna fall off by halftime.

 

[barney44]

I cant see this offense accomplishing much..

35-10 Tennessee

 

[huskerbaseball13]

Skers assisting recruits with their afternoon nap. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[TwinsRRUs]

I'm beginning to think those 38-10 predictions are going to be pretty close!

 

[starhusker]

We can see a big talent gap for Neb. and how much improvement is need on personnel. Need to recruit good talented players.

 

[jeans15]

Not. i don't remember TA getting rid of the ball like that and putting it basically on the money before the receivers expected the ball. Fyfe doesn't have a choice though.

lol..ok...

 

[TFrazier]

I'm beginning to think those 38-10 predictions are going to be pretty close!

That was my prediction.

 

[Harry Caray]

I understand but at some point we have to stop apologizing for this hapless offensive line. What Riley accomplished with a sunbelt quality front is pretty remarkable.

What did we really accomplish this season? Beating the likes of Indiana and Purdue?

 

[DerHusker]

 

[B1G RED RULES]

Dylan Utter everyone...

Tub of shit.

 

[rchrisreade]

Pedestrian. All of the accolades that Fyfe was ready to show something was nice balderdash. They teeing off on Newby because they can tee off on Newby. I watched this game in Iowa City.

 

[Rocky Mtn Husker]

lol..ok...

Lol

 

[Husker Sledge]

I remember Huskers recruiting Kongbo. Dude can squat a house!

 

[siebo454]

Reed isn't starting or playing at all next year is he?

 

[tro80]

My guess is this drive takes maybe 8 plays.

 

[siebo454]

Defense looks gassed already. Offense has got to do something. Hell put Darlington in and just run him every play, cant do worse.

 

[GammaxuvirHusker]

What an ugly showing, so far. Ugh.

 

[6thtimesacharm]

We can see a big talent gap for Neb. and how much improvement is need on personnel. Need to recruit good talented players.

There is plenty of talent. It needs to be coached.

 

[bomber89]

Games are win in the trenches and our trenches are weak, shallow, and pathetic!

 

[TwinsRRUs]

At least our DL can tackle the QB when they bottle him up... oh wait.
