1st Half Game Thread!

[huskerbaseball13]

Banker and Riley....worst coaches with two minutes and under in a half? I'd say yes.

 

[tpmcg]

several blatant holds...

 

[ThomasOfDoubt]

Clayton Thorson = Tim Tebow --- article in OWH tomorrow.

 

[jedihusker]

Just unbelievable. Where do they get these morons? OBVIOUS HOLD RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE PLAY and NOTHING!

 

[jimbosc]

CRIPES!

 

[SC_'sker]

Sweet jesus. Refs are freaking blind to NW holding on both of the long runs. Doesn't help that our MLB (Bando) is about as effective as a pop warner MLB would be.

 

[barney44]

Please stop bashing the coaches. They are professionals.

Yep, Nebraska hired some winners...

 

[planored]

Gerry totally missed a play there, 2x today

 

[jimbosc]

B1G refs suck donkey.____s

 

[ThomasOfDoubt]

Why are these defensive breakdowns happenning? Bando and Gerry said the defense is so much simpler now.

 

[bleedinred1969]

Lol, we are making him look like Vince Young.

 

[TheNewNU]

defense needs to lock down these qb scrambles. Pass D hasn't been as atrocious as usual today.

 

[DerHusker]

Wait! We called a Time Out. I didn't think we did that.

 

[StrongArm517]

Good gawd these refs stink

 

[leodisflowers]

Bando needs to pick it up.

 

[GammaxuvirHusker]

That's not a catch.

 

[TheNewNU]

With Bo's defense we had a lot of strategic breakdowns, Banker's defense we just have a lot of guys getting beat.

 

[73mdl]

The NW receiver even started to signal incomplete

 

[SC_'sker]

Definitely the worst set of coaches with 2 min left in the half/game in the country.

 

[Lincoln100]

Yup, he has allowed both long runs. He is not good at all in the open field.

 

[pabanks46]

Lucked out on that TD. What a joke.

 

[Lincoln100]

This is the worst offense we are going to play all year, we have had good field position, and we are losing. Putrid.

 

[StrongArm517]

TA ten times the runner their qb is and he has all the yards

 

[73mdl]

Where is the flag on the blatant hold!!

Since when do they call offensive holding when Nebraska is on defense? It doesn't happen

 

[Child of the Corn]

There was 2 obvious holds i saw on that NW drive.....why do i feel if it was us on offense, we would have been called for those?

 

[Duc748]

We need Chris Weber back.

 

[litespeedhuskerfan]

Definitely the worst set of coaches with 2 min left in the half/game in the country.

I am not ready to throw in the towel on MR but this is a legit concern. I find it difficult to make sense of what I'm watching when time is running out, it's like he's never been in this position before.

 

[BetterRed]

Our guys have outplayed Northwestern. Just stupid mistakes and bad playcalling has held us back. I actually feel confident. I think NWU sucks, actually. They haven't really done anything.

 

[leodisflowers]

Because we always get f'ed at home

 

[Hoosker Du]

3rd and 2 and we can't run?

Have you not been watching the game? Hell no, we can't run.

 

[TruHusker]

I am sure there is some holding but we are so far out of position and it looks like we are trying to get the call by pushing with off arm. I am not convinced. Get in the position and make the play and you dont have to worry about it.

 

[DerHusker]

Oh yeah! I forgot about the rule about no holding can be called when we're playing.

 

[Chief Wiggum]

Meanwhile, Clemson 41, Miami 0 - at Miami, not even halftime

 

[StrongArm517]

The referee can call holding almost any time he wants. It's a choice.

 

[Jnood]

The second half will be the best half of football, all year!

 

[HuskerClassic]

Quit throwing the damn ball!!!!!!!

 

[jedihusker]

Bullshit.

Hard to get into position when you have guys hanging on your back and no call. What's worse, there was a ref literally standing about 5 yards away from one of the about 4 blatant holds and watched it happen and did nothing.

 

[St_Henry_Buckeye]

Two of the worst offenses I have seen in the B1G in a long time. Pitiful.

 

[shine003]

Why is our linebacker (?) in the bottom right just standing there and not running toward the ball carrier. Attack the ball!

 

[Harry Caray]

Guess who the Miami AD was that gave Al Golden an 8-year contract extension?
