Michigan State Game Week

Hopefully they get Omar back in time for the game, but it was good to win a game and not have multiple long term or season ending injuries.

Well, it’s just ugly in general for CFB. Between the turnovers and poor play on the offensive side, it’s no where near a ‘good’ offense nowadays.

I think it can be both.

Not that pretty in the grand scheme of college football but I don’t feel like Nebraska fans are in any place to criticize a 31-14 win against a B1G opponent in 2023.

They have to figure out a punt returner who isn't Bullock. Got away with what would have been a catastrophic muff and probably cost a shitty offense 100 yards in field position by being too scared to catch the other punts

At any point in the past 10 years there’s probably been 20 kids on the roster who housed a punt return in high school. Then somehow when they get here either they’re incapable or they become timid and mind-fucked. So infuriating.

Why does it feel like we're so bad at running the football then?

Because Husker fans are insufferable.

Oh I do plenty of suffering guy

Close losses vs. Ugly wins...I'll take Ugly Wins for a 1,000 Alex!

Agreed. It isn’t just the players that needed a mindset adjustment….enjoy the W’s folks!

Thanks. Yea I posted something (called them clowns) after a lot of drinking and Sean read it while drinking and doing the post-game and poof. Got banned. Oh well. I was paid for another 9 months so I guess that shortened it up.

Wow, haven't seen you in awhile! Good to see you over on tpb

Because it’s hard to run the ball in the B10.

Conference only stats (5 games):

2nd in yards at 152.6/game (would be 61st nationally)
4th in YPA at 3.9/rush (would be 74th nationally)
7th in rushing TDs with 5

Looked like Palmer on that play. Just ran past everyone. Thought Haarberg was going to fuck it up but he threw a perfect ball.

Returning punts in high school is easy. When you catch the ball the nearest guy is at least 10 yards away. College there's at least 2 guys within 2 yards of you and you're standing still while they're running full speed.

Gotta have some serious balls to return punts.

partly because we run more than other teams.

I'd also like to see a breakdown of the percentage of runs resulting in negative yardage. it feels like we have to be leading in that too

I'm kind of surprised we don't take more shots

I distinctly remember blocking people on punt returns. Why does it feel like no one on our punt return team ever lays a block!

Coleman would have had another TD but the CB knew he was beat and pretty much tackled him.

 

[Jim14510]

Lloyd got behind the defense 2 other times but Haarberg got pressure. Sacked on one and short gain on the other.
