Game Thread Nebraska v Northwestern (Saturday, October 25, 11:00am FS1)

[macmoolah]

Its so annoying to watch every middling team run the Kirk Ferentz gameplan against us and it works everytime.

Ball control, Run game, conservative approach. Wait for Nebraska to fuck themselves up

It’s not even fun to watch anymore.

Poorly coached football does that too a man.

 

[Flabio]

How we are not more physical than NW in year three is very hard to understand.

 

[That SOB Van Owen]

We’re going to win guys. Calm the fuck down.

Disclaimer I said the same thing at halftime last week.

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Guess he has t learned how fucking valuable 3 points are in the BIG. My 8 year old gets it.

If he thinks his kicker has the yips then I don’t mind going if it . That first kick was awful

 

[Seaofred92]

To be honest, I am feeling pretty good after the first half of that

Northwestern got the ball first and we go into halftime with the lead

Despite the long drive they went on in the 2nd quarter, TOP is essentially a wash (15:43 for NW, 14:17 for NU)

We are moving the ball at will on the ground

Northwestern got extremely lucky with a ball on the ground and two tipped passes all avoiding a turnover

Despite the missed a FG and TO in opposing territory we’re still up 7-6

NU is the better team here.. just need to not mentally fold. Come out and get some points on the board to start the third quarter (even three would be great) and get a stop and we’re cooking with gas. Just need to make NW try to open it up a bit on offense

Haven’t even been forced to punt and only have 7 points. Ridiculous

Holgs is turning into Wile E. Coyote

But we are up 7-6 this time so we should be good

 

[TripleOption]

What a fucking embarrassment

It’s pretty much our weekly punishment at this point. This has to be what domestic abuse is like.

 

[Cash68847]

I’m just happy we don’t play Indiana this year.

But we still love the Huskers....no matter how many times they kick us square in the nutz we still love them.

 

[stonesak]

We can only hope that Lane finally realizes he has a thick Midwestern blonde sized hole in his heart.

We've been in it too long to give up now!

The most terrifying thing I’ve ever read on this board.

 

[Blakejc]

NU is the better team here.. just need to not mentally fold.

Were you born yesterday? Seriously.

 

[Sous Chef]

I actually have sort of given up on them. My expectations are being met now.

 

[Huskers633]

He needs to go. There are far better guys out there to poach.

People were convinced that we were getting Peak Mike Leach Disciple Dana Holgorsen.

Instead we got a tired, failed HC who’s just cashing a check.

This was me. I thought we'd get Oklahoma St OC Dana. Instead we have whatever the fuck this is.

 

[Stenge85]

The fucking state of the world when you wish you were born an Indiana fan
