He had four penalties tonight. You would think that would be enough to get a player benched, especially after all the emphasis on avoiding penalties.

I agree. If we had someone better, after all those holding calls, he would be playing.Its one thing to practice great. Another to fail terribly in a real situation.
If he continues to start, I will trust, that whoever is behind him is worse
We literally have no one else to play there and Matt is playing out of position when he should be at RG with Wilson at LG. Austin is bringing a butter knife to a gunfight every week due to poor depth on OL.
The new staff is going to fix that situation. The problem is most tackles have to be developed over a couple years. So for the next two years, Farniak may have to keep the right tackle job.This. We just don't have many (any?) D1 tackles on the roster.

If they are practicing better than playing, that tells me how bad our defense front is. Only see good competition by playing a game. The flip of that is the same. We just need better talent on both lines.Its one thing to practice great. Another to fail terribly in a real situation.

We are after a couple JUCO OT’s, if we can get one, I think Farniok will slide inside.The new staff is going to fix that situation. The problem is most tackles have to be developed over a couple years. So for the next two years, Farniak may have to keep the right tackle job.
We better use the majority of our last 8-10 scholarships in this 2019 class for offensive and defensive lineman and a couple of cornerbacks to go along with them..
I understand what you’re saying. But does mean he can commit an unlimited number of penalties without any consequences? There must be someone they can put in there, at least temporarily, to show him that there are consequences.The new staff is going to fix that situation.

Or actually play hard in practice. There's no reason we shouldn't be going 100% at all times in practice.If they are practicing better than playing, that tells me how bad our defense front is.

One thing I’ll ask: Are these positions really so specialized that they can’t switch over a spot or two? It’s not exactly as if we’re asking Farniok to go from pitcher to catcher here.The new staff is going to fix that situation. The problem is most tackles have to be developed over a couple years.

I thought these dudes were athletes? I was around several OL at NU back in the day, and I swear, they could all have been running backs, albeit, slower.

He also walks backwards to class, in the snow, wearing shorts, pulling a 2000lb horse behind him.The Hawaiian dude for Wisconsin can do back flips at 330
I agree with that. If a player is making careless mistakes, his level of concern needs to be raised and the best place to do that is on the bench. This staff is supposed to be investing time in-season with the backup linemen (something that happens at Iowa & Wisconsin, but hasn't happened here in years) so hopefully there will be a backup who proves himself to the point where he can sub for a guy who is playing poorly or a guy who is playing injured.I understand what you’re saying.

I will say this, I believe all of his calls were holding calls, some maybe because you can be trying to hard and not releasing when you feel a player slipping away. The refs were clearly looking for holding calls against our OL. O-lineman hold on every play, but most of the time they get away with it, we just so happened were not that lucky. People also need to remember that we are playing 3 sophomores out of necessity. Not sure how many great --Nebraska teams started three sophomores on the o-line, usually it takes college kids 2-3 years in a program before becoming contributors at that position.I agree.

Farmer had a few too along with Foster..Was not suprised to not see them interview after game.He had four penalties tonight. You would think that would be enough to get a player benched, especially after all the emphasis on avoiding penalties.
When you have the reputation of a highly penalized team you will definitely get the attention of the officiating crews. They don't live in a bubble. Pretty sure they scout who they are officiating whether it be officially or unofficially.I will say this, I believe all of his calls were holding calls, some maybe because you can be trying to hard and not releasing when you feel a player slipping away.

Unless Bland can play OT like he has at times.The new staff is going to fix that situation. The problem is most tackles have to be developed over a couple years. So for the next two years, Farniak may have to keep the right tackle job.
It's called using pedsThe Hawaiian dude for Wisconsin can do back flips at 330
Guess I can understand why they would scout a teams tendency but it also puts in their minds that team A is penalty pron just a natural human reaction to basically make bad call because they've been thinking about themWhen you have the reputation of a highly penalized team you will definitely get the attention of the officiating crews.
