FIRST HALF GAME THREAD

[HuskersMan34]

Why take a TO there?

I have no freaking idea. The coaches are coaching the offense like they did at the beginning of the season.

 

[headcard]

Come one Drew, need this.

 

[rowdy roddy piper]

Wow, you're a fantastic human.

Thanks. I am

 

[headcard]

just dont understand why we were so afraid to use straight drop back passes until now. their clownshow secondary couldn't stop mitch leidner for god's sake.

Exactly, and that is what TA does best. He can't throw screens.

 

[HuskersMan34]

This is some damn stupid playcalljng and time management.

 

[huskerbaseball13]

Huge kick to get the momentum back

 

[DerHusker]

That's 3!!

 

[donahues17]

They could have called a TO with 1 second. Come on man.

 

[red rover 70]

Monster kick by Drew!

 

[Husker.Wed.]

WTF didn't they let the clock run to 3 before the TO. Nice kick brown

 

[headcard]

That was a big drive. If we can stop killing ourselves and if the zebras even things up, we will be fine.

 

[RealHusker]

As bad as NU looked in the first half, being down just 14-10 is semi-encouraging. NU gets the ball to start the 2nd half, so there is room for optimism.

 

[amahawk]

So you eject a kid for trying to make an honest play? It's a stupid rule. The word "targeting" its self implies intent. Gerry had no mal intent.

I never said he had mal intent.

 

[donahues17]

We have to limit mistakes in the 2nd half and we could win this by 14 points. We have killed ourselves. Well TA has done most of the damage.

 

[notlongago]

Please, do tell, how one sprints toward an object/person to make a play and the head isn't the first thing to arrive. Gerry made a play on the ball. The WR went low and helmets incidentally collided. That's football. There was no malicious intent on Gerry's part.

I'm not sure how you're so confused, but to answer your question, use a shoulder.

 

[rk#5]

Refs even it up? Refs missed an illegal formation on your td...if you blame Refs for iowas scores it goes both ways

 

[CC_Lemming]

I'm not certain that the ejection actually hurts us...

What the hell? Maybe our best defensive player and he has been the heart and soul thus far

 

[red rover 70]

side view showed a clean hit---> refs are more idiotic than NU's coaches

Nate was going for the ball and made contact with the diving Hawkeye. He knocked the ball away in the play.

 

[wxman42]

Considering how many penalties...turnovers and bad play calling there has been it's rather amazing it's only 14-10 at halftime.

 

[regionsdoc]

The only difference between NU and the "4th ranked team in the nation, cough cough' is we have an idiot OC. Seriously, he has shown this year he has no idea what he's doing on game day.

 

[Harry Caray]

Two mediocre teams. Stupid turnovers and penalties have been the difference so far. Not impressed by Beathard at all.

Don't bother. Logic is lost on this fanbase.

 

[brnred58]

What a first half,crazy.Bad play calling,bad execution,bad penalties and only down 3.I do believe has much as most people don't like him losing Gerry is a big loss and RUN THE BALL!

 

[headcard]

Only gave up 112 yards and somehow we are still losing.

Blind hometown isn't "logic".

 

[Soda Popinski]

The problem with that targeting call is if the receiver goes low and dives to make a catch, what is the d back supposed to do? Lead with his feet? Just let him make the catch? Barrel roll into him? He literally couldn't "go low" like they're taught if the receiver is parallel to the ground.

 

[brnred58]

Mark May,you are an idiot.

 

[huskerbaseball13]

Armstrong + Langsdorf. Not a good combo

 

[brnred58]

It is more than wins and losses that is why Pelini is gone.For the record I liked Pelini,he burnt too many bridges that is why he is gone,Mark.

Clearly looked like Gerry was diving to undercut the receiver, unfortunately the receiver came down low as well. But knowing refs and reviews like we do, it wasn't going to end in Gerry's favor.

 

[StrongArm517]

Mark May,you are an idiot.

Worst comments i've ever heard.

Not to mention the play by play. Have not called the bias card all year until today. Our "wrinkled 62 yr old coach" are you kidding me? What other team gets this kind of media abuse?

 

[brnred58]

Did you not hear what he said?

 

[brnred58]

Ok,now I know what you mean horrible commentary.

he must nat have seen bags ferentz.

Let's go Huskers,kick some Iowa ass.

Out of your mind if you think that Nate is our best defensive player. Nate is like TA.. one boneheaded play followed by one good one. Collins is better, Valentine is better, Kalu is better, Weber is better, etc.
