This quote is why NU could very well be 4-4 on Oct. 28th

[It'sNotAFakeID]

I think (through no fault of our own) that we tend to read too much into the words used when reviewing what happened. These guys aren't wordsmiths, they aren't going to pick the right words to say.

Let's see what happens on Saturday, these next two games are really going to be testaments to how well our defense practiced and changed their mindsets over the last two weeks.

 

[bbhusker]

The most frustrating thing that keeps me shaking my head is how we started that OSU game. We were dominating, plain and simple. Even with Taylor throwing a pick 6, our defense had only given up 17yds and the offense had scored TDs on back to back drives and all looked great. But then to fall apart because of some big plays and never respond, how does that happen? No coaching adjustments and zero mental toughness from the defense. I do believe we need more speed but our main problem right now, in my opinion, is the mental side of the game. Coaches and players.

Those comments, IMO, show a team and staff out of answers...........

Sat will answer a lot of questions for me personally. Hope we come out and punch them in the mouth.

braxton miller is good, our defense sucked that day, hope it gets better quick

If we are 4-4 by november...

Not every team/QB is going to be as talented as OSU or Braxton Miller.

Pretty sure we won't be 4-4.

Ohio State was flat out better than us. More talented. Better coached. Executed better. Focused.

We played poorly, didn't handle Braxton very well (after his long run), and lost. Time to move on. Ohio State is by the far the most talented team we will play, and honestly, they are one of the more talented teams in the nation.

They may well turn out to be.................BUT, before that game there were multiple posters stating we were equal talent wise...........

Must not be the most intelligent individuals. They are on another level talent and coaching wise than us. Urban is a d!(k, but the guy can coach, very well.

As for talent? Just look at the recruiting classes.

Now do I think they are 30 points better than us? No. Maybe a touchdown or two. But you know what else? You never know what Taylor Martinez you're going to get. You know what Braxton you'll get week in and week out though. On the flip side, when this entire team is focused, offensively we are one of more talented teams. Can't say the same about the D. Some days you feel like we can compete with anyone, other days it feels like we are a low level MAC team

if they're gonna beat us they're gonna have to score a lot more than they have in any game this year. SMARTinez is due for a good performance against an away game.

I think talent wise we are pretty equal with OSU, with one glaring exception, Braxton Miller. I thought he was a game changer before the game and I still think so. He is a special player. I mean Cam Newton special. After watching OSU play quit a bit this year, I think they tend to play down to their compition. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if they rolled Wisky and Michigan, yet struggled agianst some lesser opponents.

Ohio State was more focused, the crowd REALLY got OSU into the game. You're right that the talent is pretty equal. Although I think Miller and Martinez are equal but in different ways. Martinez is faster, but Miller is more evasive....simply a matter of pick your poison.

Wiscy doesn't run a spread, so I'm not concerned about their offense. We were able to shut down Bell, we should have no problem shutting down Ball.

Michigan? This is our bowl game. Its at home. We have revenge on our mind and with some luck, will still be undefeated at that time. You will not find a more focused, intense and passionate group of players and fans for that game.

49. Go watch the game. 42, if one wants to get really picky.

 

[jamesbond]

No , nitpicking is taking points away from a team for whatever reason you choose. We gave up 63 points. Next closest is Indiana with 52.

Take off the glasses and be honest with yourself.

OUR DEFENSE GAVE UP 49 POINTS, which is the point. The team? yes 63. And yes, Ohio St is one of the most talented teams in the country. They ALWAYS are. Take off YOUR glasses and be honest with YOURSELF.

 

[jamesbond]

I just showed you evidence that OSU is not one of the most talented teams in the nation with their game results. They have had a fairly weak schedule which includes Nebraska.

 

[bournehusker]

Omg....we r arguing about giving up 63 or 49......really?! Either case is pathetic. Coordinators get fired at major universities for such abominations.
