First-half thread for NU vs. Nebraska

[wildcatpn]

I wish we could say this is a young team taking their lumps but getting better, but that’s not the case. We may suck for quite a while.

Go to bed. You’re insufferable per usual.

 

[bjm989]

We cannot tackle. It’s embarrassing.

 

[SDakaGordie]

When we can’t develop good linebackers with Fitz as our coach, we have real trouble.

 

[NREPP Fraud]

Need a turnover

 

[SDakaGordie]

And why does he not sub the linebackers??

The offense seems to be trying to find its way at least. Offense has had to switch starting QBs twice.

The D has just been awful from the first snap, going from one of the top D in the country to a complete joke with ZERO signs of improvement from game to game.

Wtf has JON done to our beloved Sky Team?

Is fitz going to send JON out here for the next 8 games or fire him this week?
With certainty, we could do no worse by scrapping practice and drawing plays up in the hand

 

[NREPP Fraud]

Seemed good enough last year to start and be a major player on the #5 defense in the country.

Hilarious. Eight of our starters started on last years #5 in the nation defense. Last years defense, again, number 5 in the country, replaced more starters than we had to do this year. It’s NOT the players. That is painfully clear.

Agreed!

 

[SLUCATS210]

Mcyintire consistently runs to the wrong gap and misses tackles. Fitz has this weird love for him and it has to stop. Get someone in there who can make the right reads

 

[Jaguar 88]

The comeback begins! Gutsy plays by Hilinski!

The offense has shown some life finally! Too bad we spotted Nebraska 21.

 

[stpaulcat]

It is the defense (7-21 tells the story. IN THE FIRST QUARTER. VERY poor hire. Let Hilinski air it out, Jake waited too long, or Fitz waited too long.

Fitz won’t do jack until the season ends, we all pretty much know that. He‘s too loyal even to clueless coaches in over their heads

 

[phatcat]

Our defense looks like the Washington Generals. A bunch of guys running around doing nothing

 

[DaCat]

The offense has shown some life finally! Too bad we spotted Nebraska 21.

And our defense showed up with the wrong game plan.

 

[timbfischer]

Does JON teach our players to always go to the wrong place on every play?

 

[villox]

Go to bed. You’re insufferable per usual.

You SHUSH. @TheC is a treasure.

 

[bjm989]

Four drives four TDs. New DC please.

 

[nickcat4]

Unbelievable don’t we have any defense of lineman

 

[TheC]

You SHUSH. @TheC is a treasure.

Thanks, man. But he’s right. Going to bed is the right call.

 

[IGNORE2]

Fitz won’t do jack, we all pretty much know that. He‘s too loyal.

Fixed it for you.

 

[JournCat]

I noticed Spivak got bull-rushed into the end zone on the fourth touchdown. As he would say in those videos no one watches, Wow! I think there’s only so much you can lay on O’Neill when the players are too small and slow to tackle.

 

[SLUCATS210]

Another thing, Joe spivak is a great guy. He should not be getting consistent playing time though, just shows you where we are at on defense. He not big enough to plug the run

 

[Jaguar 88]

He risks losing recruits and current players if this gets out of hand. Like I stated before he might be throwing away all the hard work that he has done getting the program where it is. If he is that stupid not to see what is at stake, he deserves to lose his legacy. Weird.

 

[IGNORE2]

Does JON teach our players?

Adjusted.

 

[zbag51]

Have we ever given up 4 straight TDs to start a game? This is horrible.

 

[DaCat]

He more than held his own in Hank's system.

When he is one of our impact players on defense - nuff said.

 

[phatcat]

If I were Scott Frost, I'd try to get 70. Just lay the wood. We deserve it

Damn admissions! We will never be able to win at NU…

Honestly needs to be fired.

I actually think Fitz will make the right call based on what happens with the defense. Right now the answer feel obvious in the heat of the moment. But he made a hard call with a tenured coordinator and I think he will be more willing to make needed changes now.

And then take his foot off the gas in the 2nd half?

 

[stpaulcat]

HILINSKI IS DOING GREAT! FITZ, FIX THE DEFENSE! Before 2022.

 

[Rodenthater]

Dear God!

 

[zbag51]

Ugh…Damn.

 

[DaCat]

Holy shit, what a stupid play call by Jake. Hull had no chance.

 

[nickcat4]

Can’t do this anymore I’m gonna watch Netflix good night everyone

 

[SDakaGordie]

Run the QB sneak again!!

He will have to make change if we keep looking this bad the problem is he will make it about 3 months too late

 

[zbag51]

D needs to show some life.
