We throw a pass 4 yards behind the LOS in the 2 minute drill?

1ST HALF GAME THREAD!!!!!

We can all agree that it was targeting. We can also agree that it's a bullshit rule. That was a football play
Respectfully disagree. I thought he'd be ejected the instant I saw the replay. This stupid rule affects every game, I've been saying for several seasons that there's no way I'd want to play defense anymore.
That may be true - not arguing that point - but since we play in the BIG, maybe our players should know that. Dismuke has had about 3 targeting calls overturned that were targeting, so it's not like we haven't gotten some benefit of the doubt along the way.
Exactly. Do these people really think he’s laughing at the idea of being ejected. So out of touch.
How do you predict in 2 milliseconds that the runner is going to lower his head into the path of your textbook tackle?
In this case the QB was a running back, not a defenseless player. The defensive man came in for a tackle with his shoulder and the runner dropped his head. If that is a penalty, every other tackle on a running back could be a penalty.
No wonder we only throw 5 yard passes.
Martinez is unbelievably inaccurate - that is two wide open receivers he’s completely missed downfield.

Losing at home to a team down 30 some players.
Just one of many examples of how terrible a coach the fraud is.

The day Scott Frost is inevitably fired from Nebraska we will remember his tenure by swing passes that went for either 0 or negative yards.
You can like it or not but leading with the crown of your helmet is not a textbook tackle. But yes, we should definitely keep doing it because clearly the rule is going to bend to our will.
Yep. And the players know this. Wrap up from the waist and below and it shouldn't be a problem. It was only a matter of time.
You never played football, did you?
No defender in today’s football is intentionally trying to lead with their helmet. Unless you think kids like getting kicked out of games.
When you are tackling, your head is still attached to your body. If the runner lowers his head into the path of your head, you get ejected. There is literally NOTHING you can do about it other than just not make the tackle.
There is NO WAY we should be behind at half in this game. We should be up by 2 - 3 TD's. Minny is not good - I just don't understand it .... game after game after game. There is no way they have more talent on the field than we do.
The fact that everyone is riled up over CTB is what’s messed up. We shouldn’t have even allowed a weak ass 70 yard run to begin that drive.
If CBT was not a Husker everyone on this board would think he is a dirty player. Worse than that he is also a dumb, selfish player. h He would rather blow-up a player than play good, solid ball. Acting like a dirty player means more to him than winning a game and that is so sad. His coverage most of the time is terrible. He gambles too much. All he can do is slam into people. Stupid penalty earlier in the game and there is no way he had to hit the Gopher Qb in the head. He cost the Huskers a chance to win the Iowa game dropping the punt. He's the poster child for a bad playerGOOOOO
BIIIIIIIGGGGGGG
REEEEEEEDDDDDDD!!!!!!!
One angle looked bad. The angle from the offensive backfield shows clearly he hit him the side of his face mask and his crown was not down. I've seen MUCH worse hits called targeting on the field reversed on review in the B12 and SEC. B1G officiating is horrendous and when you're losing like NU and MN, you get the worst crews in the league.
It wasn't called. It was reviewed by the replay booth. Dumbest rule in all of sports.
Dude they are missing one starter. Stop buying what PJ is selling.
How many targeting calls is that on a Nebraska player, compared to all the other teams in the Big 10? We've played 6 games. And I think we've had at least 4 or 5 players called for targeting. Jebus...
