***Southern Miss Game Discussion***

FIRST HALF OBSERVATIONS:

  • Was that the longest Fullback run for Nebraska in the last 10 years?!? Even if it wasn't I love the creative plays & formations that Riley & Langsdorf are using to get Janovich involved in the offense.
  • Tommy's overall quarterback mechanics are absolutely stellar compared to last season. He's only going to keep getting better...which is scary for opposing defenses.
  • Offensively we do need to do a much better job running the ball in the Red Zone. 22-0 at halftime is nice, but this game should be over by now.
  • Our cause of giving up big pass plays defensively isn't Banker's scheme folks. Those players are in the right position. It mostly falls on the secondary group that is still struggling with basic fundamentals for their position, which goes back to coaching. Time for Coach Stewart to step it up with that group.
Things to look for in the 2nd half:

  1. Look for more misdirection plays (counters, play-action bootlegs, roll-out screens, reverses, etc.) Southern Miss is biting hard when Nebraska motions or makes it look like we're going to send the play to the boundary.
  2. If we go up 29-0, look for Banker to start dialing up more of our complex blitzes.
The problem with the DBs could be related to how different the scheme is. Hopefully we see continuous improvement this year. I want to see some ints by someone other than Gerry.
