I could've jumped that route, dammit TA you have to throw the ball more outside. Going to be another season of ups and downs and shoulda coulda woulda with TA at the helm still making the same questionable decisions.

Goes back to the old adage cant teach and old dog new tricks. I doubt anyone thought it would be any different with TA at the helm. If they did they were truly living with their heads planted firmly up their hind quarters.

 
Its almost like the want to force their offensive philosphy in no matter what. Until we get a better qb, we gotta be careful with all this passing. We arent that team yet. Be conservative.

Our problem in this game so far is three simple things.

1) Tommy makes bad decisions and has poor touch on his easy throws. He throws them too hard for running backs to have a chance to catch. This is all Tommy and not langsdorf.

2) Offensive line blocking to open holes for RB's has not been good. They have been getting beat.

3) DB's are playing 10yds off the ball in unders coverage. I HATE this philosophy. This is on Banker. They are athletic enough if they would press they would be able to be right on the receiver to get a hand on the ball. Playing 10yds off allows the WR to get open for 5-7 yard pass catches with no contest. They can move it down the field all day with this.

1) Can't argue w/you there.

2) Part of that is that Wyoming is sending extra men and living/dying by the blitz, and our kids aren't picking it up. Part of that is on the coaches, part on the kids.

3) Agree 100%

To go back to (2)... With all the blitzing, we've got open receivers all over the place and the screen should also be open. Again, if Tommy were a better QB he could find the dump guy when ppl are in his face. Instead he takes his eyes off the field and tries to run away. Missing open guys all over the place. I understand not having time to see downfield but he should be able to find his 5yd out dump guy. He's too slow getting rid of the ball. Like announcers are saying... Timing is off.

Doesn't seem like it to me. They're doing a lot of stuff to help Armstrong.

Dunno why anyone thought Armstrong would improve. He plateaued as a Sophomore. There was hope in his Junior year because of the new coach but obviously nothing happened. As for the red zone INT, that's on both him and the call. 50/50

No way thats 90/10 on TA. He easily could have thrown it away instead he tried to force it. The play broke down but its not drawn up to throw it into 4 defenders.

 
Nice stop by the defense. Was really worried about Wyoming's offense, and our defense really has done a good job against their running game.

Frankly, Wyoming's best defense is Nebraska's offense, considering we've left more points (11) on the field than we've scored (10)

 
More of that punt return where we don't block anyone or anything. What is the deal with that? We did that in pelinis second to last year before he oversaw changes to it, was hoping to never see that again
