Give Wilbon a freaking shot. Newby is mediocre as hell, isn't even that good in the open field.

 

[Husker66]

so we throw that little slant into double coverage on 3rd and 5 and our best players today is our punter...yep we are Nebraska......

awesome

 

[huskerfan92]

we've been good in the red zone?

Did he watch the game last week?

Might be one of those guys that considers a field goal a win....we have serious issues in the red zone

 

[Sargon]

Your first read on 3rd and 5 is to hit the RB on the swing? Good lord...

He's a "good receiver"

 

[Scratchtown]

Justin Fuente, Troy Calhoun, Tom Herman,


Instead we went after Bielema (debated), and Mike Riley...

 

[TheMeanFarmer]

God forbid put a team away

 

[Danimal]

Our OLine is just flat out horrible, and that is a talent issue, not coaching.

Our O-Line would be better if Riley and Langsdorf believed in subbing out players to get them rest. :-|

Not a *LOT* better, but it would be better in the second half of games, IMO.

Hell they didn't sub in the BYU game when it was 100 degrees on the field. Not surprising we couldn't get 3rd and shorts at the end.

 

[huskerfan92]

If we don't see Ozigbo the rest of the game I swear...

 

[Thanks_Tom RR]

Nebraska must be on a record setting pace for most unconverted 3rd & 1. Still, they are doing some good things on all sides of the ball today.

 

[throwing bones]

Illinois will have the wind at their back in the 4th. Get ready for some shots deep

 

[JJ Husker]

A stiff breeze would knock Newby down. He goes down as soon at the first sign of a defender looking crosseyed at him. Getting kind of old. Break a tackle for once. f#*k.

 

[84HuskerLaw]

when you have to turn to gimmick type running plays like reverses and end arounds, you are still not running the ball. Run into the line. shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Run for ten yards, not thirty.

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

I'm just waiting for Illinois to punish us here any minute now.............

Yup, agree 100%.

 

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

Why is Newby still in the game? In uniform for that matter?

Why not?

It's not like Langsahan has any dedication to the running game

Because it would force Shawndorf to use a better RB
