Huskers Looking to be a Top 3 in the B1G Defense

And unless someone blew an assignment, which it doesn't appear they did, that was just a poor defensive call leaving the WR in single coverage (and a nice play by the QB and WR on the play).
Stuff happens.

Throwing Fyfe out there with that game plane was far more of foolish move than anything else I saw that day. And it was the biggest factor in the loss.

There were three WRs and a RB in the pattern. Why was it a poor call to have THAT GUY in single coverage? Cockrell just got beat on that play. There was nothing wrong with the defensive call. As Bo loved to say, he 'failed to execute.'

I am the first to say that sometimes a D just gets caught in a bad look. But like that man to man coverage was not the only option on that play, and a zone would have made it a tougher read for a QB who saw the strong side safety shoot at the snap.

There was nothing wrong with the call. Cockrell got beat, and that play is all on him, plus the WR just making a better play.

Not only that but it appears he has a solid shot at knocking the ball loose and/or making a tackle. But didn't.

Does he point the thumb or the finger when he says that?

Pretty sure he does the Shocker.
