Wow, obvious targeting call.. fans booing are clueless.

 

[8675309husker]

Bad call by the ref..That was not targeting

 

[shine003]

Inadvertent helmet to helmet is now targeting...unbelievable.

 

[bigboxes]

Tre looked good on that return.

Yes he did.

 

[tpmcg]

give me a break

Slow MO I'm not sure the helmets made contact. I'd have to watch again, but don't want to rewind.

 

[jlb321]

Now the backup is carving us up

 

[hddude55]

This is just another craptastic effort.

 

[Metalfan]

Jackson so far seems like he's not ready for prime time. We had to know there would be struggles in the secondary

 

[Jnood]

Suddenly this sucks!

 

[ncaalover12]

This may be the worst way the first half could have gone. Good lord why isn't this team up by 50 right now?

 

[huskerbaseball13]

Can't imagine the recruits are impressed! A joke of a half thus far.

 

[DerHusker]

STOP THEM!!!!

 

[jlb321]

This was all started with a crappy exchange btwn TA and DPE that put us in a big hole up 14-0

 

[bigboxes]

Many of you should not post during the game.

 

[OkeyDokeyNU]

Jesus christ

 

[jimbosc]

Not a great 1st half - I like running the ball but D needs to be better and still WAY too sloppy

 

[spinner4]

Fresno state isn't very good. Our coaching staff just has no passion. Pussyfooting around in this game. Should have went for the knock out early but tried to be as vanilla as possible

 

[huskerbaseball13]

14-10 at half......lol

 

[redwine65]

fresno state has 3, 3rd down conversions in a row, but Nebraska's db's dance very good after plays on first and second down.

 

[Husker.Wed.]

They get the ball to start 2nd half.

 

[schuele]

This is why moving the chains is so important. Convert a damned 3rd and 2 and you can finish off the first half in strong fashion. Stupid penalty followed by a low-percentage pass, and Fresno is right back in the game.

 

[husker2612]

I guess worse case this might actually help recruiting. The coaches can say, hey look how bad we suck. You come here you will play right away.

 

[newAD]

anyone getting worried?

Maybe a little now.

 

[bomber89]

Cozgrove two point oh. This D SUCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[hddude55]

I was convinced before last year that Mike Riley was really good at maximizing the talent he had at OSU. Just like last year, the opposite seems to be true. Awful.

 

[Captain Nick]

We could have had them put away in the first half and we just shoot ourselves in the foot. Stupid mistakes!

 

[OkeyDokeyNU]

Now Riley is going to go into the locker room and try and fire the players up by talking about their respective carbon footprints.

 

[redwine65]

This was all started with a crappy exchange btwn TA and DPE that put us in a big hole up 14-0

DPE had places to go, he can't be bothered with securing the football, or draining momentum

 

[Metalfan]

Not the best first half ever but we're still winning so that's a plus.

 

[Pennsyhusker]

Nothing new. Inconsistent offense. Horrible pass defense. Damn.

 

[Hoosker Du]

Bad call by the ref..That was not targeting

Yeah, OK..

 

[husker2612]

This was all started with a crappy exchange btwn TA and DPE that put us in a big hole up 14-0

That is the problem, just as last year. One mistake and everything comes crashing down

 

[regionsdoc]

So far this team looks a lot like last years team. Poor pass coverage, can't put pressure on QB, can't get stop on 3rd downs,too many penalties, Tommy can't pass, Does anyone remember how that turned out?

So far, nothing looks different. Sloppy, TA throwing jump balls, no rotation on the lines (DL looks gassed), can't put away an inferior team, crappy refs------rinse and repeat.

 

[NikkiSixx]

I had a feeling this was going to be a closer game. We have had good flashes on both sides of the ball. Fresno is playing hard though.

We can't let them hang around though, need to put this away. If we aren't careful, well, you know what can happen.

 

[huskerbaseball13]

Not the best first half ever but we're still winning so that's a plus.

Fresno is garbage....unfortunately we were not very far behind that half. Can anyone make sure the recruits are still awake?

 

[Harry Caray]

I don't want to judge too much into the first half of the season. But historically, Riley's teams do have a tendency to play to the level of competition.

 

[Hoosker Du]

Nothing new. Inconsistent offense. Horrible pass defense. Damn.

Looks like the same inept team from last year's B1G schedule. But we're playing against a 3-9 team.

 

[bomber89]

Can't convert 3rd downs and can't stop them on 3rd, not a good way to play.

 

[redwine65]

That is the problem, just as last year. One mistake and everything comes crashing down

well at least bo won't go mental on national tv, not sure why we abandon the run for whatever they did after the dropped hand off. at least we know we can't tackle their qb, so that should help
