1st Half Game Thread!!!

[jeans15]

Still can snap the damn ball......that's the problem.

 

[ReuniteGondwanaland]

Couldn't afford that, need to get some stops now, something we haven't done recently. Ouch.

 

[dinglefritz]

Darn you freshman linebackers! Leaving that wide out wide open in the end zone.

yep. Blown coverage. Everybody packed the middle of the field for some reason.

 

[Jnood]

Oh no!!! We suck again!!!

 

[Metalfan]

Can the coaches take the blackshirts back?

 

[jimbosc]

Can I change my forecast for wins this season???

 

[regionsdoc]

I hate to say it but we are in big trouble. This defense needs a lot of work.

Kalu and williams looked at each other like they didn't know what defense they were in. I thought we were loaded with DBs??????

 

[kaz36]

I hate to say it but we are in big trouble. This defense needs a lot of work.

Yes it does.

 

[ReuniteGondwanaland]

Is that why our Dline is not getting any pass rush at all?

No, that's a different issue where we don't have any defensive ends who can rush the passer. Gangwish goes hard but he's limited.

 

[jimbosc]

I think ever potential weakness has showed up.....plus the Dline is getting handled by BYU.

 

[huskerbaseball13]

yep. Blown coverage. Everybody packed the middle of the field for some reason.

Most likely because this defense is so easy to learn. Allows players to flow to the ball.

 

[JOHNNY N]

Not sure I'm seeing a ton of difference between this year and last....

 

[jeans15]

I see no difference in defensive style. That's not aggressive.

Why don't we get up on their receivers instead of letting them build up momentum

 

[HuskersMan34]

I had counted this game as a loss all off-season but I was sure hoping to see better play on defense than this. It's looking positively Cosgrovian right now. Of course, when your dline is getting literally NO push up front.....

 

[Metalfan]

Well here's hoping we can get something this drito get momentum going into half.

 

[B1G RED RULES]

One team has adjusted.

 

[huskerbr12]

Don't panic. Stick with it.

 

[jlb321]

missed a wide open westercamp

 

[HuskersMan34]

Can we try someone else at quarterback now? I've already seen plenty of Tommy overthrowing open receivers.

 

[hddude55]

Hill was scary good last year before he got hurt so we shouldn't be too shocked but this is a heck of a way to start the year.

 

[jimbosc]

Way too many mistakes....that was something we wondered if Riley would fix.....he hasn't

 

[HuskersMan34]

missed a wide open westercamp

Yep. He's still staring down his primary option.

 

[rrthusker]

missed a wide open westercamp

He was being hit.

 

[NikkiSixx]

they haven't really even tried to run... 34 yards rushing for the half.. this sucks

 

[HuskersMan34]

Way too many mistakes....that was something we wondered if Riley would fix.....he hasn't

You do know this is the first game right? Were you really expecting instaneous change?

 

[jimbosc]

So much for Riley having them ready to play........

 

[HuskerLLM]

9 penalties (and counting) unacceptable

 

[HuskersMan34]

Tommy Armstrong is officially back to being a terrible quarterback. Thanks Bo for being truly terrible at recruiting and developing quarterbacks

 

[regionsdoc]

8 penalties, lack of composure by our QB, no defense-----where have we seen this screenplay before?

 

[jimbosc]

Offensive - I figured they could stop the off sides and illegal formations

Defense......OK - yes given all the young guys mistakes are going to happen so I need to lighten up

 

[ReuniteGondwanaland]

Need to get out of this half not down three scores, we get the ball first 2nd half, lots of game left.

 

[hddude55]

I didn't sense a lot of excitement on this board going into the game. No wonder. We are getting use to this crap.

 

[HuskersMan34]

8 penalties, lack of composure by our QB, no defense-----where have we seen this screenplay before?

I'm just going to keep saying this I guess. It's the first game. the guys on the team are all still the same. It's going to take a while to get rid of some bad habits.

 

[leodisflowers]

Hooooray Banker!!!!

 

[schuele]

Lucky or not, a stop is a stop. Now use that to get something - anything - going offensively.

 

[huskersosweet]

Can we try someone else at quarterback now? I've already seen plenty of Tommy overthrowing open receivers.

If you don't have a line it doses not matter who the qb is

 

[HuskersMan34]

another overthrow. another stare down. another toss off the back foot. God I want a real quarterback

 

[HuskerLLM]

Huge difference for TA with the wind and against the wind.

 

[hddude55]

With an experienced qb coach, you'd think Armstrong would be throwing off his front foot. But old habits...

 

[HuskersMan34]

If you don't have a line it doses not matter who the qb is

sure it does. he's making terrible reads and terrible throws even when he's not pressured.
