But I like the play of our OL. Not perfect but we look like a team that can now beat the Gophers of the world
Yes, it’s UTEP
- Thread starter c3o
- Start date
Having guards that can move people helps.
It is UTEP but we are beating as we should. Last year this game would have been 7-7 at the half
Kids are playing faster.
Part of that is recruiting, part of that is being in year 2 of a system.
Future is bright.

I’ve seen them lose some but it’s way better than before
just think what type of recruits we could get if we show progress
This ^^ UTEP can’t just stack the box and dare Nebraska to throw
This group at least seems to play through the whistle, which is an improvement from recent years. Guys taking plays off and waddling back to the huddle was a hallmark of the Frost era.
Yes it’s only Illinois St but Iowa fans are already booking tickets for Atlanta
Helps the OL when the QB has pocket presence.
I think my one gripe of the defense is they haven’t killed anyone yet
I fully expect Mazzcua to kill a Buffalo who tries doing to DR what they did to Martinez.
It is UTEP but for since we fired Pelininweve struggled against these team that we should easily beat. This is nice. Shows progress
Yeah it's UTEP. But I won't complain about a blowout win these days no matter who it's against. It's nice to see the offense putting some points on the board.
Anyone expecting a top 10 team may be disappointed. I just expect progress and potential. We have that in spades. I’m happy to see us win easily and do what we want. It’s a nice change of pace.
1) If we win next week this is going to be a hell of a fun season.
2) If Fidone can't block, let's play someone who can.
It is amazing what delivering the ball on time -- and on target -- does to an offense. Putting the ball on the numbers lets your skill people do skill people things to the first defender instead of being tied up, twisting around for the ball then getting lit up before they get turned around. Doesn't directly show up on a stat sheet but it's invaluable.

Likely going to be the new TE, but like I said earlier this week, it's going to take a few weeks to get him caught up. I'm hoping he's ready by Big 10 play.
That really stood out to me. Mazzuca and Jenkins looked like huge upgrades compared to what we had last year.
Holla
Yes it's UTEP, but I was please with our offensive line and pass protection. If our O Line protection looks like that every game we'll be very good. I know the teams will get tougher but hopefully we can keep improving.
Honestly, I expected worse in the pass protection area.

I was happy to see something I have sorely missed; execution.
We have a really good tandem at guard this year with Jenkins and Mazzccua
UTEP's D line was undersized. It was UTEP and they just went through a coaching change so......
When was the last time the huskers played a team like UTEP and didn't have to stress about when the wheels where going to fall off. They kept the game in hand got back ups real playing time. They where 3 mins ish from not punting once in this game
They did have a punt in the first half as well, so they were 3 mins ish away from only punting once in this game…
Arm talent and pocket presence cannot be underrated
For a change we mud stomp a team we should instead of letting them hang around.
