2ND HALF GAME THREAD!

[GammaxuvirHusker]

Hmm? Is this game evidence of a talent gap or a coaching gap?

I have a hard time believing that Iowa is more talented than us by 3 TDs.

 

[HuskersMan34]

Agree about defensive ends. But we are not 33-10 worse than Iowa in terms of talent. Crap, they have scored more on us than they did against Illinois. Let that sink in! Yikes

Well, first of all, its 29-10 if Nate Gerry is watching where he's going. Secondly, Iowa has made 3 plays that have actually hurt us.

3.

So name the coach who magically gets us that. And if you say Scott Frost, you never get to post here again.

Anybody can win 9 games at Nebraska get real....

"Tommy is deciding before the play has even started who he is throwing too."

The color guy has figured something out a WHOLE bunch of you can't

Scott Frost....try & stop me.

that wasn't the question. Display even a little bit of reading comprehension next time.

 

[DerHusker]

WE NEED A TURN OVER BAD!

 

[rowdy roddy piper]

IoWa is gonna score 40. Inexcusable. Burn it down.........

[huskerdude88]

so I'll say again, who is the coach who magically gets us to top 10 recruiting classes? Because I never said it was Riley. I said the recruiting has been better than it was under Bo. And Riley has had exactly two seasons.

Well if you know the formula to win a national championship is:

1.) Recruit top 10 recruting classes
2.) Develop said talent

Then you can agree that in two recruiting cycles Riley has shown he can't do 1. If he can't 2 is irrelevant since he won't win championships without 1.

I'll even give him 2 more years to see if he can even accomplish 1. After four years if he can't than cut your losses and hire somebody else and keep trying until you can get a coach who can do 1.

The rest was a waste of time...you are predictable.

 

[Bugeater]

This sucks for the Huskers. Nicest people I've ever met, and that goes for all Nebraskans too. However, the most delusional and ignorant fans I've ever come across, but super nice.

I'm pretty sure you and your fan base are just as bad, if not worse.

 

[DerHusker]

Zebras strike gain.

 

[dinglefritz]

Wow, just don't understand all the Armstrong bashing. The guy is a warrior. Our coaching staff just isn't that familiar with how to coach this type of QB.

The problem is that because of TA's hammie they have to use him like a drop back passer

 

[GretnaShawn]

I hate to be the 'fire X!' But my word, special teams have been absolutely pathetic all season and somehow worse this game. Reed needs to be gone. This is embarrassing.

 

[HuskAir]

That looked pretty indisputable to me. About as indisputable as the overturned 1st down in the 1st qtr.

 

[Rocky Mtn Husker]

It's a combination of both I think. I do think Iowa has better football talent and probably overall better coaching too. So when we don't play well this is what you get.

 

[dinglefritz]

This

TA has left AT LEAST 3 TDs on the field by over throwing guys that are 5 yards behind the defense... This game should be at least 33 to 31.

That's a really good way to never get #1.

Life is a series of closing doors.

 

[jdrpbill]

9

and

3

at worst right now

If you think that we had a good season then your sites aren't very high. 3 losses 2 blowouts no quality wins. You can say 9-3 all you want this team is terrible.

 

[HuskersMan34]

Shoulda woulda coulda. IoWa is giving us that BECAUSE WE NEVER COMPLETE IT, MORON!!!!!!!!

So, we should fire the coaches, because they call plays that should work, but they don't have a quarterback who can execute it.

And I'm the moron?

 

[keilwitzg]

Alright, another clueless poster heard from.

Yes, because your interjection has been spot on? lol

 

[barney44]

Well, at least we get a bowl game this season I suppose...

We're now Iowa as a program..

 

[jeans15]

Its true

 

[HuskersMan34]

We had a better season than last year. I saw improvement and I saw a staff that actually coached up the secondary.

The team isn't terrible, you're overdramatic. The team is undertalented, doesn't have any depth and has NO play makers anywhere other than WR and we can't exploit our WR corps because we don't have quarterbacks.

But we should fire everybody because they've been here for two whole seasons.

 

[jeans15]

Same plays that beat Bo's teams are the same ones that beat this one....Wisconsin game especially.

 

[HuskersMan34]

Nope. You don't have a clue what you're talking about.

 

[dinglefritz]

It's evidence of an O line and QB talent gap. Nothing more. Our defense has missed assignments that led to huge plays but our QB play has been terrible. Actually I don't put this one on our O line today. TA has had all day to pass the ball and he's stunk it up mostly.

I cant say fire them, at least not this soon but at this point I honestly don't see this football program progressing any further than it did under Pelini..

 

[dinglefritz]

Good heavens Freedom. What are you doing? Time for somebody else to play DE.

 

[GammaxuvirHusker]

Finally, someone else who isn't allowing emotion to cloud basic reasoning skills.

He's absolutely in Ferentz's league. And I'm pretty sure I didn't say he's better than Harbaugh or Meyer who may very well be generational. Though I think he's a lot closer than any other coach we've had since Osborne as far as understanding the game.

Ferentz has 2 conference championships. Mike Riley has 0 conference championships. Zero in 16 years! To say they're in the same league is laughable.

Doubt Riley gets fired if he keeps doing what he's been doing. He's a respectable coach. Great? No. But he's done what he was hired to do and that's bring integrity back to the coaching staff in Lincoln. He's not the type of coach that is going to win
Championships, IMO, but he won't embarrass your program either.

LOL!!!!! 39-10 Go Hawks

 

[wreckitralph]

Give it a rest.... this defense couldn't stop bausserman

 

[Harry Caray]

Look, I'm glad we won more games than last year.....but our best wins were Wyoming and Minnesota. Nobody else we've beaten even has a winning record.

And I don't see a ton of optimism for next year. We will have a QB with zero experience, and lose many of our best playmakers (Westerkamp, Gerry, Carter, Moore, Reilly). We will be lucky to win the 9-win trophy next year.

 

[huskerbaseball13]

40-10 on the ole "experienced" staff. Go Beavs!

 

[dinglefritz]

Our defense has been on the field ALL night and NOW they've given up.
