FIRST HALF GAME THREAD

[RealHusker]

Gee...another crippling penalty.

 

[notlongago]

What a Bull K-wrap call!

How?

 

[CaptainZigZag]

Thug

 

[leodisflowers]

Jesus.. Fix is in

 

[headcard]

Yes there was... don't lead with the crown.

STFU. Your QB put both players in that position. Absolute bullshit.

 

[notlongago]

He went low and hit the ball. No way that should be a penalty. Let lone an ejection. The BS continues.

His crown hit smith's helmet.... that is exactly why the rule was put in place.

 

[jteten]

Receiver lays out and with the speed of the game, it's impossible to avoid helmet to helmet.

 

[rowdy roddy piper]

Coaches are supposed to put players in the best chance to succeed. This staff does the opposite.....

 

[BigBL87]

Why don't we just play flag football? By the rule, I understand the call. But seriously, he led with his shoulder, didn't aim for the head. What else are you supposed to do in that situation? Not play defense?

 

[NikkiSixx]

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

 

[CC_Lemming]

Is Bowzerman out there at Iowa QB?

 

[notlongago]

STFU. Your QB put both players in that position. Absolute bullshit.

Don't hit with the crown, real real simple.

 

[HuskAir]

I don't see how you don't call that helmet to helmet, to be honest...

 

[DerHusker]

 

[regionsdoc]

Seriously, Langsdorf is just an idiot. 2nd and 3, going into the wind, yeah let's throw 3 freaking times.
Fire him, now. Just an IDIOT

There is a reason we have lost so many close games this season+= stupid coaching

 

[cubsker]

you're supposed to let him catch the ball and then ask if he would like help running to the end zone. that's the state of cfb right now.

 

[HuskersMan34]

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

As I just told a friend, he's been playing as poorly on defense as Tommy has on offense.

 

[DerHusker]

YES!!!

 

[brnred58]

Might be our best play of the day losing Gerry. Either way....our moron of a staff giving Iowa the ball at midfield.

I think he has been playing pretty good,

 

[NikkiSixx]

Blame Langs all you want...but our down fall today has been squarely on TA. He's been terrible.

it's both.. Langs shouldn't be calling that play, among others, and TA should not be playing QB either

 

[regionsdoc]

Yes there was... don't lead with the crown.

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

 

[HuskAir]

If he touched the ball first, isn't that supposed to be a 5 yard penalty? OR am I doing it wrong?

 

[notlongago]

I don't see how you don't call that helmet to helmet, to be honest...

You cannot be serious.

 

[rowdy roddy piper]

I'm glad he hit him in the head. *uck iowa

 

[brnred58]

Had been now!

 

[cubsker]

too bad we didn't punt and get the ball at midfield right now.

 

[planored]

Clean hit and #4 is in game

 

[Harry Caray]

Just take a knee here please, we get the ball to start the 3rd

 

[DerHusker]

I don't see how you don't call that helmet to helmet, to be honest...

I agree they hit helmets but they both used their helmets!

 

[amahawk]

Receiver lays out and with the speed of the game, it's impossible to avoid helmet to helmet.

Probably true but player safety rules are more important.

 

[shine003]

Yes there was... don't lead with the crown.

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.

 

[cubsker]

nice throw there. we get to hold some too.

 

[headcard]

Come on. Let's get some points.

 

[DerHusker]

Nice catch by Carter!!

X2

 

[Husker.Wed.]

Why take a TO there?

 

[donahues17]

His crown hit smith's helmet.... that is exactly why the rule was put in place.

His crown did not hit his helmet dumbass. The side of his helmet hit his helmet. He turned sideways.

 

[Capernum]

I'm glad he hit him in the head. *uck iowa

Wow, you're a fantastic human.

 

[rowdy roddy piper]

Tie this up,now

 

[shine003]

Probably true but player safety rules are more important.

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.

 

[cubsker]

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.
