2ND HALF GAME THREAD!!!

This. And it’s why we are 3-17 in one score games over 3 years.
Yeah I hated the bomb with :08 left in the first half. THAT was the time to get 8-10 yards and shorten the FG.
People Been saying that for 15 years now and all the other big ten fans laugh at us. They will win games going forward? Sure like 3-5 per year
They can't except that Nebraska isn't a good team and must find a scapegoat. Wisky has made us their personal hand puppet so I didn't see a win.
how many screen passes have been called this season? how many? 2 perhaps 3 ?
I liked Purdy compared to sims definitely and Haarberg maybe with an off season they can find some improvement with him. The Oline is what scares me the most cant run or pass block.
I agree in the first half but going pass happy in the last drive in regulation was going to end with an INT. I know it, you know it, everyone else knows it. I don’t have a problem with going into OT.
If they didn’t it would have ended like last week and everyone complained that they didn’t set up and kick a FG. Our D didn’t get the stops needed and Wisconsin’s did.
I dont see alot of improvements going forward. They might not play defense but they can put up some crazy numbers on offense
I get it. You’re right. But we have a real coach now. Most will say no but they are wrong.
We could have kept running the ball if we had not wasted all that time doing nothing.
Yup.
But they figured out that we're not going to score in that situation by throwing the ball and no way we were scoring a TD by running it 3 straight times.
Rhule played exactly like fans have been asking him to. Don't turn it over in the redzone and that means to not throw the ball.
There’s a difference between stupid and scared. Forcing the ball for 7 when 3 would give you the lead is stupid.
I don’t think it’s as good as we give it credit. They still miss tackles, get no pass rush and give up long drives. Bad offenses still scored on them.
A real coach that was 5-3 with bunch of soft teams on the schedule and lost them all. This real coach allows opponents to salvage their seasons. 4 win Colorado kicked the crap out of us. How long are we going to witness this? Need to get rivalry trophy with Indiana for 17th place in big ten.
But forcing the ball for 7 when 3 gives you the tie at the end of regulation isn't?
We had our chances to make plays throughout the game. This year’s or last year’s Wisconsin was the worst and best chance to win but we can’t beat them.
They have better Defenses. Better fundamentals
If you go quick running, and don't convert..........you still kick a field goal but leave them more than enough time to drive for a game winning FG.
This board is so full of Monday morning quarter backs it's ridiculous. It's laughable.
They could have ran. It was 2nd and 3 with like 1:20 left, they only get 1 yard then run it all the way down to 20 seconds.
You take a time out earlier and at least give the offense a chance to win.
My biggest problem is not the last drive, it is how the entire year we are constantly up against the play clock, no matter who the QB is. Just terrible coaching and management. If Rhule keeps his OC then he is digging his own grave.
You may not like him or may not feel he’s the right guy for the job but he’s going to be here for a while. Since you’re an Athletic Director you can pick the next HC when Rhule’s tenure is up!
Haha, we weren't going to score by just handing the ball off in/near the redzone.
I thought Purdy played very well at times and the offense did turn the ball over until the last play so those are both positives. D played great at times. 4th down stops were a thing of beauty. Quarterback runs were a killer. Offense went flat for large periods of the night and I think that is on the coaches. I thought I heard somewhere that Satterfield says he does not like the quarterbacks getting in a hurry to snap the ball. He prefers the team to take their time getting into the correct formation making sure the players are set before snapping the ball. They take too long. Why not just get ready, get set and GO! Why does Teddy have ants in his pants? Stop it with your false starts. Wide Receivers still can't get separation, but the young receivers are getting better. Finally I thought it was common knowledge that when a team is on the road they always should go for the win. 3 Time-outs with a minute to go and Rhule and Co. waste 40 seconds. How many of us thought the Huskers would prevail in OT? I am betting not many.

FFS, that was the best game any of our QB's have had all season.
