We're Begging to Be Iowa?

[StoneTempleHusker]

Are we really begging to be Iowa?

That is all I'm hearing.

Run run run the football. Punt. Never throw the football unless necessary while demanding a lights out defense and bend but don't break play.

Another shitty game to lose, like many others the past several years if not decades.

But to outwardly root to be a pedestrian football team, I'm sorry, I can never root for that crap.

 

[hawkinarkansas]

To be fair, becoming a pedestrian program would be a huge step up.

WTF do you want? Pretend we’ve got Brady at QB? It’s year one and I want them to do what their personnel allows them to do. There’s zero reason to think “run & punt” is what this offense will look like in 2-3 years, but it’s what we have right now. Iowa has been doing the same think for decades and it works for them, but it’s not what our FUTURE goal should be. If you’re not smart enough to see that I can’t help you.

I would rather do that because it's painfully obvious our personnel are inadequate to be what we want to be. Sorry. Next year with the right QB could be different.

sure would be nice to punt like iowa

Iowa would have won that game.



But no, I'm not begging to be Iowa

You think we gonna run ET, Fleeks, and AG 70 times a game and beat teams in the B10?

You're higher than Snoop Dogg.

Jesus dude, did you watch the game? We LITERALLY win that game if we run and punt. If I’m high you’re dumb or blind.

You think we gonna pass to Coleman, Fidone, Boer., Kemp even 50 times a game and beat ANYBODY in ANY conference?

You're higher than Cheech and Chong.

 

[mgbreis]

The point is, in the biggest moments of the game when the outcome hangs in the balance, this offense should be super conservative. Don't let the QB lose the game. It's just silly.

 

[king_kong_]

live total in iowa game is 16.5

it's the 2nd quarter

Where did anybody say we need to throw it 50 times?

Always have to adore the massive mover of goal posts strawman.

You have to at least have some threat to throw the football unless you can simply plow teams aside.

We had 21 rushes for 84 yards in the 1st half. You aren't going to shove it down anybody's throat with those kind's of numbers and win games.

We ended up with 40 rushes for 183 yards.

If you simply quit throwing the football, those yards per carry are going to dwindle faster than your bank account betting the Huskers.

michigan ran the ball 32 times in a row today in the 2nd half.

we tied the game and kept throwing. we had the lead and kept throwing.

 

[Iroh2]

It sure would suck to be 7-2 right now….

 

[HuskerInFlorida]

Never can understand the fascination with Iowa. An indication of how far we have sunk as a program.

If the Huskers were relevant, the only Iowa posts (or responses to Iowa posts) would be made by the Iowa trolls....

 

[Iroh2]

Just to be clear, we would prefer to consistently win 4-5 games per year just so we can say we aren’t Iowa?

Nebraska does not have a passing attack with what we've got. They should lean on their strengths.

Nebraska should run the ball more than they are in my opinion.

We did?

1st play after: Sims fumble on run play
2nd play after: Sims INT
RUN
RUN (Designed throw)
RUN
RUN
PASS (24 yards)
RUN (Designed throw)
PASS
RUN
INT

We tried to throw the football 4 times and actually planned to run the ball 7 times out of 11 plays. Sadly, our supposed pass happy offense in which the QB actually threw the ball, resulted in 2 INTs in 3 throws.

 

[Joedaly]

Remember two weeks ago when we thought we could win our last four and finish 9-3? Yeah that was fun. Now all I want to do is beat Iowa.

Well you are short bus sighted. It's called winning . It was what Nebraska was all about .

Strawmen coming on strong.

We have retarded fans though.

Completely agree. We had two other threads earlier today devoted to our interest in the Hawkeyes. I checked out their board to see if they were as interested with us and found zero threads.

Oops sorry did I give you the impression I care what you think and wanted a reply?

That’s on me

I think he is.

 

[mgbreis]

I'm not trying to have a slap fight with anyone. It's not like we're arguing over whether we ONLY run or ONLY pass. Obviously we need to be able to do both. I guess I'm just laser focused on the end of the game today. If we keep the ball on the ground and kick a field goal - we almost certainly win the game.

Also, I'm super worn out of hearing how we don't want to be Iowa. Write it down: I'd love to be Iowa for awhile while we build something bigger. They are better than us and have been for a long time. A big part of it is because their coach is super boring and lets dumber teams beat themselves. It happens over and over and over.

 

[jonesy5960]

There's still room on the bandwagon if anyone is interested in jumping on.

Free money today that’s for sure

Iowa is going to win the west with the worst offense in the history of football

Maybe the worst, but not the dumbest. They don't force what isn't there.

Well true. KF has his formula. Rhule is just collecting the ingredients.

 

[moralvictories]

No we are not.

 

[The_Man_Behind_The_Man]

I don’t want to be Iowa at all. But kudos to Iowa in that they rarely shoot themselves in the foot. Their Special Teams alone will beat us.

 

[BTF69]

You don't argue with someone dumber than you .

Wait...aren't you the badger fan that pretends to be a Husker fan and now you changed your picture? Sweet move!

Also, sweet Badger game today!

 

[Farleyhawk]

Yeah you don't want to be Iowa...trust me. You will need to get to that level for a time though if you hope to break through to be an elite team again.

 

[19Football19]

This….plus, haven’t they beat us 6 out 7 times or something? I hope we can be like Iowa vs Minnesota which is what we are and used to make fun of. We’ll never be much more than Iowa but I think that’s the goal today.

Maybe...but they are going to get smoked by NU again just like last year.
