1ST HALF GAME THREAD!!!

[DerHusker]

GOOOOOOOO

BIIIIIIIGGGGGGG

REEEEEEEDDDDDDD!!!!!!!

 

[Bugeater]

Huskers lead 21-0 early! 😁

 

[headcard]

Looks like an OL shake up tonight.

 

[headcard]

No Reimer will hurt, as he is outstanding in coverage and Purdue lives to attack the Lb’s in the passing game.

 

[Pennsyhusker]

No running game again. One good run then stuffed.

 

[Red_Symptoms]

Is it just me or does Purdue stadium have one of the worst TV angles?

 

[Champs 70-71-94-95-97]

Crappy tackling.

 

[schuele]

BS flag. They both lowered their heads. Good Lord

 

[FissionReaction]

Not targeting. Stupid ref.

 

[headcard]

No way that is targeting

 

[Bugeater]

Be another 4th quarter game, a victory is very possible. This team has shown patience the past two games, have to be that again tonight.

 

[Pennsyhusker]

Purdue's play calling is creative in the run game. Ours is boring. Every run between the tackles.

Only if they throw it to us a few more times. Defense not looking good.

Yep. This is not going to end well I think. Our offense cannot keep up. No running game. None. Very, very predictable run calls. I do not like Whipple.

The line sucks. What is he supposed to call?

 

[huntered]

defense is running after most of that drive, not with

 

[headcard]

What did the safety see to run upfield there?

 

[hephusker]

We won two games against bad teams. This is still a major rebuild. Not a job for MJ.

 

[jamsand]

Do we have any linebackers playing tonight? Dear lord..😡🤮

I feel like they’re going to run that pitch play a few times tonight, unless Nelson shows he won’t overrun it.

 

[CameronKrazie86]

It's still crazy to me how few top level athletes this defense has. Gonna need a lot of points tonight to get a win.

 

[headcard]

We need a drive here. Can’t put this defense right back out there.

 

[huntered]

will have to make some blitzs work or hurry up passer. he's too accurate

Also, I don't say this to be mean. Those guys are doing their best. Just is a stark contrast from watching that Bama/Tennessee game when you see the caliber of athletes in that game versus this one.

 

[headcard]

This seems less than ideal:

Nelson=caveman…
Me run hard n fast one way..
3 years of not being able to learn his position.

 

[BetterRed]

This feels like about 1990 to me when Osborne realized he needed to recruit speed on defense to compete. Our defensive guys couldn’t beat my 54 year old legs in a race. We are slow.

 

[BuckysBoys1]

Tommy Hill playing rb

 

[headcard]

Thompson has to see the extra blitzer and beat it with the throw. That sack was all on CT.

 

[RaulJones]

The line sucks. What is he supposed to call?

That's always a cop put for the OC.

 

[Champs 70-71-94-95-97]

I feel obligated to post this every week (well, because it’s true).

How good could we be with just an average offensive line?

 

[headcard]

That's always a cop put for the OC.

You don’t t think this OL is an issue for any OC?

 

[Red_Symptoms]

Let's be honest. Outside of 2 quarters against Northwestern, Whipple's offense & Thompson has been mediocre at best against P5 schools. You could even argue its been outright bad.

 

[RedBaloneyPony]

There’s yards to gain tonight with a mobile qb.

 

[shine003]

Can’t run block. Can’t pass block….message board be like “call better plays!” Lol. The difference between good and bad teams is rarely the play calling….

 

[Redblood23]

So sick of Newsome getting beat and celebrating after drops and bad passes

 

[weiddj]

Think it’s been said before about million times but wow this roster lacks talent/athletes except for a couple who just arrived this year. Yikes

 

[CameronKrazie86]

That catch by the Purdue was craaaaaazy.

 

[Pennsyhusker]

I have been saying it all year. Our problem is we lack talent. We are in full rebuild mode. We just do not have good players on both sides.

 

[headcard]

A little piece of me dies every time our opponents convert on third and long.
