**OFFICIAL Game Thread** Nebraska vs. Northwestern

[Pepe Silvia]

How can the pass blocking be this much better than the run blocking?

Spoiler: it's probably not. NW doesn't look like they have much of a pass rush

 

[Jim14510]

The pass blocking is shit. The run blocking is far far worse. But they are both shit.

Pass blocking hasn't been bad. Couple of pressures. Haven't opened up any holes in the running game.

I despise the soft Chin defense. Mathis is an athlete, you can see it. Line up 2 DE's hands in the dirt and bring heat. Play more man D, less soft zone. We get picked apart in soft zone D with zero pass rush, then since we get picked apart in the open under areas in the zone, that sets up play action or RPO run success for NW also.

Bring the fucking heat, it's football, not soccer.

That fumble was huge. We got fucked on it. But you can’t just fold up like a wet paper sack. I don’t see any way we win this game. Just leave frost in Ireland. Hope I’m wrong. I just don’t see it

Can Turd just suspend Frost to keep him away from the team and fire him in October to save a little money?

 

[ChocaEgg]

On the bright side we can relax for the rest of the season knowing that none of our games will mean shit

Give me a break. Looks worse than last year against a shit NW DL that lost 4 starters.

The only reason it looks passable is because CT is balling out

I know it’s “the first half of the first game”, but how much of this can realistically get cleaned up? What game will be Frost’s last? Wiscy?

I think Turd will give him all 12.

 

[Kaladin]

that fucking turnover

 

[The Bearded One]

Things seem to be going well in here.

Welcome to the fuckin show, Jimmy! This squad is full of confidence and ready to take off!

 

[Huskerbuck85]

14 points against the 3rd worst team on our schedule isn't an improvement. Our OL is even worse than last year.

Add 7 for the fumble call that was a screw job. That’s 21 in a half. Double that if play is the same and that’s 42 in the game. Improvement. No denying the pass pro has been much improved and the passing is light years better. Run leaves a lot to be desired

Chin has the benefit of doubt on the first half. But if he doesn’t adjust, it’s his and SF’s ass.

Assuming the pattern stays, I see it after six games and MJ takes over for the time being.

When you don’t a good d or o line you’re going to get owned all year in the BIG.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

The story of almost every Coach Scrote loss as you would have learned in Scrote stats is a self inflicted wound that causes the team to meltdown. Lots of if this statements about like 25 of them

the cope in this thread reminds me of last year: "Illinois looks like a really good team this year" lmao

The first one after 10/1.

Remember when Brett Smith was the #1 overall pick out of Wyoming after blowing up our D?

 

[Irv]

Really go no help from that fumble call, but Nebraska under Frost just has no margin for error. Literally cannot withstand one negative, even against a shitty team.
