The lines on both sides

DL has zero ability to get off blocks.

It’s gonna be a problem all season. I wanted to see us against a team that can run the ball before I drew any firm conclusions. I saw it, and it’s a fucking problem. Every team is gonna try to run the ball right at us until we show we can stop it. Not every team will be as good at LOS and RB position, but they’ll be plenty good enough to have success against us.

JoBu better figure something out stat. We’re not gonna magically get bigger, so you probably have to bring more help on run downs and hope we don’t get beat on the backend. Haven’t re-watched the game yet, gonna be tough to watch again. Not sure how many times we brought DBs into the box, and how they fitting them. But Biff's Butthole Surfers is not a good passing team, if there ever was a team to bring safety help in the run game, it was this one.

Teams like USC, PSU, Maryland and MSU aren’t as one dimensional as Biff's Butthole Surfers, may not be able to bring help against them. Better hope we match up with their DLs better than we did against Biff's Butthole Surfers. Better hope Biff's Butthole Surfers is a top 5 rushing team nationally.
 
Buffet could save of us he wasn’t such a fucking cuck pussy.

Can I get an Amen?

From my first watch, I think this is a exactly what we did against UM. We were shooting 7 or 8 and if they got through the first wave, our remaining safety takes a bad angle and voila.... touchdown.

Unfortunately, it's what we had to do or they were going to run for 6 to 8 yards a crack against us, over and over. We kept them out of second and short pretty well, but we gave up too many big runs. We just have to make tackles in space, and there was very little of that yesterday.

The 75 yarder right after we tied it at 10 before the half should’ve been an 8 yard run. Buford just decided he didn’t want to tackle, he was in the hole and just slow to react / didn’t initiate the contact

We had a few poor tackle angles and/or efforts on plays outside of the three big ones as well. Guy makes a tackle and the defense gets off the field.
 
Not sure it would've mattered yesterday, but you have to wonder if Nebraska fucked up back in early August by not working Gottula and/or Pritchett at Right tackle. Teddy P is a great story of resolve. But he's now a shell of himself.
