Second-half thread for Northwestern-Nebraska

[Deeringfish]

Two facemasks on JJ weren’t called on the same play with an official right there. Ridiculous.

Couldn’t hurt to give Alviti a drive as a change of pace and see what he could do. Thorson has the yips out there.

They never do that but I think in college it is a good idea to give a guy a blow to settle down and see he game from a different angle for a series.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Thorson is rattled! Got to play within the offense! He looks bad

 

[corbi296]

Sorry corbi, but that's Thorson overthrowing a short pass again. He threw that way harder than he had to and it sailed on him.

Why are you sorry? I have said all year his inconsistent accuracy is a real problem. Doesn't mean he is a bad QB or that we should take him out. He is light years ahead of anybody else we have.

 

[Catslash]

He who can not fired getting it handed to him by a coach who will be looking for a position

 

[Sheffielder]

Silver lining of a loss today...we don't go to orlando to be eaten alive by lsu or auburn

Didn't we have a debate last week about him not throwing the short pass with the right touch? If it wasn't you, then I apologize.

I like the effort, but it won't put any salve on my wounds.

Wasn't me. I have been critical of his accuracy since last year.

 

[TheC]

Nebraska has so much confidence now. They think they are going to win. They didn't think that in the 1st quarter I bet.

 

[Alvious]

If UNL gets a TD on this drive, this could get ugly.

Defense will win this for us.

 

[phatcat]

Two people blowing the game. Fitz and Thor. Others are doing ok

 

[DrillCat]

Nebby has all the momentum..

 

[Deeringfish]

If not for all the interceptions we would have won this game.

 

[Sheffielder]

0 for 6 on 3rd downs

 

[Fitz51]

If not for all the interceptions we would have won this game.

Nebraska could say the same.

 

[TheC]

Clear holding on that play, but again not called.

 

[Deeringfish]

Defense is gassed

 

[corbi296]

Defense is gassed

Why? They haven't been on the field much.

 

[BFDCat]

That helps.

 

[TheC]

Gee.... that fu$%& rushing 3 sure works.

Pretty accurate. However D is giving out now. Sequence before and just after half took every bit of momentum away. Will take a miracle to comeback. Almost no chance with the way Lee is throwing.

Now they’re getting 5-6 yards per rush.

 

[TejasCat]

hopefully that loss is a game changer, dumb call by Neb

 

[stpaulcat]

How many mistakes can we make today? We're giving it to them.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Defense can't get off the field.

 

[Deeringfish]

In the MSU game against Neb the refs called it against MSU the whole first half. Looks like they picked the second half this week

 

[NWFAN66]

The 1 thing this d lacks is a pass rush

 

[Figrating]

NU O has gotta save this game that they've nearly p'd away.

 

[TejasCat]

Defense is gassed

I hope they aren't first drive of the 2h by Neb

 

[AtlantaCat]

Defense will win this for us.

Beg to differ.

 

[TheC]

The 1 thing this d lacks is a pass rush

We never try. Our front four can't get pressure, but then we rush 3 instead of 5 on big plays. So.... we don't believe in sacks or pressures. Fitz takes no risks except for dumb 4th down plays.

 

[Windy City Cat Fan]

Can't stoop the run now - could be a long second half

 

[FeralFelidae]

A field goal would be a minor victory here. Maybe even a major one.

 

[TerraCat]

Nice stop...ok, time for the offense to get on track. Play like it's overtime!

 

[ubercat]

Nate's having another Hall of a game.

 

[TheC]

Do you think every team is this agonizing and frustrating to watch? I don't follow any other team this closely. Maybe not Alabama, but most other teams?

 

[willycat]

This drive by Huskers is huge, wheels could come off here if D doesn’t step up.[/QUOTE} defense is trying to win this game. that's more then I can say for certain HC

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Horrible play calling! CT is a statue again back there! Make him run or get Alviti back there

 

[FanatiCat]

I admit I just don’t have the confidence that we can take control of the game from behind now that their offense is rolling. It will be a shootout at best, and a blowout (in their favor) at worst.

 

[Alvious]

Ugh... Sometimes it's like we're afraid to move the ball.
