After Ty left the game
- Thread starter inWV
- Start date
It was princewill
Lot of #11 out there in the 4th quarter
Committed the face mask on 4th down and got beat on a qb run on 3rd and medium
Negative - NU is playing two true freshman on the DL against a league opponent in the first game.
Positive (next year) - NU is playing two true freshman on the DL against a league opponent in the first game last year and now those guys are starting.
The defense came up short at the end, but competed all game with a number of new faces. Compared to last year when they couldn't get lined up correctly until Busch took over, it's a big improvement.
Facemask: Can't turn your body to make a play when you're getting held
Big ten official love the offensive lines of every team NU plays.
They rotated a ton of guys in on both sides. Worked pretty well on the D side.
After what Javin Wright has gone through in his time in Lincoln (season ending injury, followed by blood clots requiring surgery the following season), it was great seeing him have a good stat sheet for the game.
Remind me how this works. Is Ty now suspended for the first half of the CU game?
Yes, and if there is a game where he can sit for a half, it's CU.
So he will lose his blackshirt this week? As he should given the incompetence of his mistake.
I don't believe a single holding flag was thrown all game
they're only penalties if they're flagged
Thought I saw Mikai Gbayor out there. I forgot he was on the roster.
Lenhardt had no idea what he was grabbing on the facemask, he was being pulled and stuck out his hand, it hit the facemask and he grabbed. Lots of holding going on out there by MN. Not a single call. Im not saying NU didnt hold, but I wasnt watching. Lenhardt also lost contain on a QB run that gave them a pretty big 1st down if I remember. But damn. He is a true freshman. We will get better.
Curious about peoples thoughts on the targeting ejection. Agree or disagree? He obviously gave the QB a shove… But that helmet to helmet call, well, technically accurate, seemed pretty weak.
It was weak but it’s the rule and completely unnecessary. It’s his responsibility to play within rules. Agree it’s weak for what we think of football but it is what it is from a rule standpoint. Definitely didn’t seem like the spirit of the rule for ejections. In hindsight if you are going to get tossed … you may as well bring the boom!
Definitely a targeting penalty, but an ejection for something like that is weak, imo.
EDIT: 2 of those then you can be ejected.
Needs to be more egregious to justify an ejection after 1 offense.
just go back to the 15 yard penalty
college football - especially in the B1G - is run by pussies who never played
Should never be ejected for making a football play after 1 offense. Throw 'egregious' judgment out of it because it just doesn't work and wouldn't trust the refs to get it right anyway. A 2 offense ejection might actually make sense which is why the NCAA will never implement it.
He completely stuck that guy. It was great to see special teams have some guys out there hitting. Especially some guys we haven’t heard anything about for years. He looked like a dude. Hopefully he can find his way into the field eventually.
Callahan said in their postgame podcast that they played 18 guys on the first defensive possession. When’s the last time we played 18 guys on D?
It was a good call, but also Sims got hit in the head on the pick where he overthrew Kemp. Those refs were ****in awful. We got off the field, but there was a time when Bullock rushed in and the RB just bearhugged him and they fell to the QB. No idea how you don't call holding. The Ervin non-TD was ****in putrid as well. Also looked like their OL was offside on the 4th down TD. Just a lost of close calls. Gifford makes that pick, game over.
I only saw the replay on the big screen on the other side of the field. I couldn’t quite tell if he led with the crown of his helmet. If he did, then it’s clear.
It was a stupid mental error. Really what he was doing was putting his face in the QBs grill to say "I'm here and coming again" before giving him a shove. No real risk of a concussion but it is the rules and totally unnecessary in a tight game. Use your head to think rather than to be a bonehead, Ty.
The worst part is he has run his mouth about being the leader and getting in people's face etc. The "leader" then makes the mistake. The good thing for us is the D as a whole didn't drop off. I thought they might pound it at us right after that and they didn't.
That gets called EVERY time (especially on a QB). It hurts but we have no argument on that call.
I hear ya. I do think there are times, though rare, where a player launches or goes legit head hunting and should be ejected.
If it's a legitimate spear and launch and knocks a player out cold, then maybe... but those are extremely rare. Anything less than that standard for ejection then you're playing games with review and judgment and slowing the whole game down for no good reason.
Losing Robison was big...literally. Our best linemen went out because of a stupid penalty. That hurt the squad. It was avoidable. When will these guys get the big picture. It was another example of how we beat ourselves. When will that shit end. I bet Rhule points all of this out but do they get it ?
Would have been weaker if Ty had not dipped his helmet into the QB's mask. That tells me he had some degree of control and used poor judgement.
