Fyfe most likely going to start today in his last home game as a senior. I am predicting he will have a great game today and silence his critics. Go get 'em Ryker!
Fyfe will get it done!
- Thread starter Pennsyhusker
- Start date
Wouldn't it be funny if he gets the start and the offense actually looks great and say they score 42+ on Maryland. I wonder if people will want him or Tommy to start vs Iowa.
Lol. Yes. There would be some wishing for that. But Tommy is our guy. Love that kid.
But Ryker will get it done today!
The bar has been set pretty high for what a walk-on backup QB is supposed to do at Nebraska. I guess this is his last chance to reach those expectations.
Just don't lose it.......throw it away and punt.at least the line and WRs and Rbs are healthy.
Tommy getting a week off will be huge for the Iowa game.

I won't look for any style points today, just survive and advance and i'll be happy.
He will make a few mistakes, but there's no need to get fancy here. Fyfe will do enough as will the rest of the team to get a victory today. Might be close, so don't bite off all your fingernails.
If the line protects Fyfe and opens holes for the running game, then I think Fyfe will have a good game passing the ball. But if we can't run the ball and the line allows pressure in passing situations we will be hurting without Tommy's legs.
But I think the line comes together today in the last home game and knowing that they have to take charge.
I am optimistic

Do you have that movie line and character confused with Gibson in The Patriot? I don't remember that line in Gladiator, perhaps my memory sucks. Great movie though, BTW.

First battle of the movie when he's ridding on his horse with his men he is heard yelling that over and over. watched it last night
He will if they run the ball 60 times.
He wont if they pass it 50 times.
Im sure it will be back to the ole, run up the gut twice and play 500 on 3rd. Hope im wrong, dont want to lose to maryland. They are not good at all........

I think they will try to run, but it hasn't been working for awhile, so my guess is, it gets abandoned pretty quickly if we have no success, and we end up throwing it a lot today.
Great soundtrack too!
Fyfe can get it done!
Not to highjack but speaking of movies,,,, watched The Insider the other day. Nebraska references kinda pissed me off. Like Al Pacino says, "What are you doing in Lincoln?"
"Oh, wer'e geologists." In other words, digging up dirt. Forgot about how it was really us against the world back then.

Soooo you have any numbers you like for to pick for the lottery oh great omniscient one.
Ha. I wish. I never win the stupid lottery. Not even those dumb ass scratch cards
So for everyone begging to run run run, you may note the Huskers best half was when they passed 20 times and completed 14 (I believe) when putting up 21 points. Not claiming they should have kept that up in the second half, but the reality is that this team can't simply pound the rock to victory. They need the passing game and Fyfe did a nice job.
I agree. But after our last score in the third quarter I thought Fyfe's passing got more erratic.
Maryland consistently brought more pressure and our line didn't respond
His high school pass protection didnt help at all. Newby missed a block on one of the big sacks as well.
Doesn't something similar happen when they do like a war reenactment in the coliseum and he is trying to convince the other slaves to work together? I'm going to have to watch that again, great film.First battle of the movie when he's ridding on his horse with his men he is heard yelling that over and over. watched it last night
Yes he did. I was happy for him today. What a great way for a senior walk on from Nebraska to end his career. A backup his entire career but never grumbled. Good for him
