I wish we knew what Riley is really thinking

[Nebraska Gator II]

This guy may be good, I have no idea--never heard of him. He is hard for me to take serious when he gets told that the problem with the play was bad alignment, he then still ignorantly blames Collins for taking a bad gap and Gerry for not being able to fight through a block as the problem with the play. Then admits that he basically didn't notice the team was misaligned, but it is still these other guys fault.

He also says it was a high or bad snap...the snap wasn't the issue. It was the fact that the QB was still looking at the coverage and was not ready for the snap that was the problem. I wonder if some people even watch the game.

He acts like losing Newby was the reason Nebraska tried to stop running the ball...are you f'n kidding me-Newby is horrible unless he has a hole you can drive a semi through. Let me know when Benning decides to interview the other hot dog vendor...I want to see if he has any more insight.

Well, to be fair to Semm, the Collins part you are referencing he prefaced to Damon by saying he hadn't looked at in detail due to DVR issues and said it was possible he was just trying to make a play by however necessary.

The snap play was never meant to be a point of contention (folks can argue about this until the cows come home) but he does rightly point out that the smart play is to fall on the ball when things go south, and not try to make a left handed one handed grab at the ball on the move under pressure.

I just wanted to point out that

1. Folks are having the effort discussion
2. Folks are not trying to have it be about bashing for bashing sake

That was just the latest segment, there's others with Damon and Foreman, and Frazier from from last week on his own show, talking more or less the same issue. And I'm sure you've heard of those dudes.

Edit: And I think one snippet from Foreman's take was "for God's sake Temple, lowly Temple, looks more like NU than NU does".

More than anything, I just wanted to demonstrate that the effort issue is "real and talked about outside of HI by people of credibility". Its not message board fan fiction as has been alluded to.
