They were shit but they didn't come us the game

Given that they handed them both a TD and a turnover (play after missed PI) I’d say it may have

 

[Irv]

We can blame officials all we want. Bottom line, we played badly on both sides of the ball.

Played badly but one call was likely worth 4 points alone. The missed PI changed that whole drive. And then you were robbed of at least a chance at the end of the game.

We need to be better, but when you have tiny margins of error, those things are fucking brutal to your chances.

Defense played fine. Wasn't their best outing

Defense was put in awful positions all day. I don’t want to know what Sparty’s average starting field position was.

Well yeah but it still should have been another play by Nebraska and not something rushed

Yeah punting and punt returns were bad too

Yeah their worst drive of the day was the opening drive, but they kept the bleeding pretty minimal all day

 

[Irv]

The worse call was shorting us nearly 2 full yards on what should have been a 1st to Coleman. Lost so much time on that.

I was so confused why the clock wasn’t stopping.

 

[Jim14510]

Had plenty of chances. Refs 2nd half made up for 1st half.

After executing Jim Harbaugh at the 50 yard line of the Big Ten title game this season, Petiti's top priority has to be officiating across all sports.

I know we are all bitching and moaning, and it does suck to loose to a 2 win team, but we have already exceeded expectations most of us had to start the season. I really enjoyed having zero penalties. Back to whining.

 

[Black Dean]

Also I can’t remember the result of the drive or where we were on the field of the totally missed face mask call on Triple H

 

[Snockered69]

does anybody else fucking hate the 3 wall punts? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a great special teams that runs it. It’s an ass formation that boggles my mind why anyone runs it? Also what happened to no fair catches? Kemp was fucking fair catching balls with 15 yards of space.

I said this preseason and I’m still saying it now, im giving Rhule the Frost treatment.

Year 1: flip the culture
Year 2: make a bowl game

Thought I saw that but the both never mentioned so figured I was confused.

They gave us a call or two on that same drive.

I don’t think Kemp was 100%. Which begs the question, can no one else return a punt

 

[CornFed Gregger]

Both better than HH fasho

Dailey maybe but Lee couldn’t do shit

 

[Baron Winnebago]

They put Nation in with the game very much still in the balance which begs the question as to why he wasn't in there earlier.

But on the whole, Foley seems like a pretty shit coach given the state of our special teams

 

[cwessel76]

They were shit but they didn't come us the game

If that TD was a FG instead that’s a four point swing and the game is ours.

Still, our offense blows.

Kemp wasn't returning anything because of his injury. Just out there to fair catch.
