*** Official Northwestern Game Thread ***

Why would this even be a question?  It's not like Trev made Frost go get a new OC just to give him the option to take the offense back any time he wants.  Whipple never would have agreed to that. 

In their quiet moments, I'm almost certain they expected to be up against the Wildcats at half.  Pretty big.

They're down.  And if Scott stumbles here he knows it;'s not good for him.

Thompson needs to keep the ball and run on some of those run plays.  He does not need to be Martinez, but there needs to be the threat of the run from the QB.

I don't want Thompson injured. The other guys need to quit clowning around and show up.

Has Ochaun Mathis been mentioned even once? 

Nope

Hey stop freaking out we still have 30 minutes to play. I've been impressed with CT. The run game needs to start running to the boundaries and not trying to use power. The defense needs to get Miles Farmer off the field and they need to tackle better. I honestly feel that Nebraska needs to stop trying to play zone and more man. 

 

[Frustrated]

Hey we're beating them in total yards, 3rd down eff., yards per pass and first downs!

 

[Bad2theBONES]

I agree with this. CT has looked legit and some pretty good grabs by the receivers. But the defense is awful and the run game bad. It feels like we just traded AM for CT and just put on the QB shoulders to win. With AM it was with the run and with CT the pass.

CT and the punter are the only improvements at this point in time. Safety with a blown coverage and DB play and tackling has been poor. Dline has had zero pressure and can’t win on third downs. Linebackers can’t tackle or get in coverage. Mathis has been nonexistent on the edge. Oline has had zero push and running back play has been poor cause of it. WR’s have had dropped balls hit their hands. Special teams have had some questionable return and fair catch decisions. Definitely our Huskers.

So this was confirmed true?

I cant find anything on it

You can't find anything because it's another crappy rumor.

 

[lo country]

Good gut check game one.  NU has to win this one.

 

[Huskerfollower4life]

Also that wasn't a fumble. I think Nebraska needs to get over that and play better.

Same ole same ole.  Different names.

 

[DefenderAO]

Nope

Once.  He was drug for two yards on the tail end of a single run.

Honestly, we will be fine and we get an ugly win. Defense is confused. Make adjustments and bring home the win. Fix the defense next week in practice. Heinrich needs his blackshirt pulled. Period. 

 

[Packerhuskerfan]

They never should have been called. If we go on to lose this game it’s all on Frost. 

And that horrible turnover call.  I can't believe that was called a fumble on the field.  The replay pretty much showed it wasn't a fumble, but because of poor camera angles and a Nebraska player slightly in the way on the best angle, it stands.  We usually don't win games when horrible calls like that go against us.  The time outs are unforgivable, though.

 

[Rich N]

Maybe Frost, but not Chinander. I was always mocked and laughed at for saying I wasn’t sold 

Well i don't know how anyone could be sold. We always find ways to lose. So all the coaches are questionable at best. 

 

[Hayseed]

I bet they're getting a butt chewing right now.
