Now every time I read a post from CORN his voice pops in my head and reads it out loud!

 

[Alcaus]

Yes. Both. They are the same.

I just think he showed pretty good composure overall once he settled in, especially with that downfield throw to Hunter.

I want to bang Eaton Beaver's mom. I want to eat on her beaver.

@Seaofred92 kind if sounds like Jonah Hill

 

[BIGSTICK67]

Great job, guys! You all felt like naturals and had good points to make. Wasn’t just banter.

@Cornicator is the king of idioms. But then again I sort of am too since I've worked in an office for decades.

Lol..I am literally a Corporate Trainer. So yeah.

Yeah, and I felt that way because I really believed Nebraska was flirting with disaster trying to keep Raiola healthy. Very few QBs, at any level of football, could survive a full season after taking so many sacks. Hell, just look at the QB situations of Nebraska's "peers" who are also allowing similar sack numbers this season:


- Boston College - now on QB2
- Miss State - backup had to be inserted twice the last two games due to their QB getting banged up
- Michigan State - Chiles is no longer starting because he's been absolutely throttled the last month.
- South Carolina - Sellers has already missed one start and been forced to basically play at 75% the rest of the way.
- Auburn - Jackson Arnold, who already sucks anyway, was knocked out early vs. Kentucky. and The Tigers ended up losing 10-3 to a God Awful Kentucky team.


So just to reitterate my point:

I think the staff should've seen this coming from a mile away.

I understand the point but I’m not sure we know the staff didn’t have a set of plays they liked for him. The game plan was to run the ball. That didn’t and shouldn’t change because QB1 goes down. The question is if the other plays felt like they were something TJ wasn’t suited for. I didn’t see us running anything that felt like it didn’t fit TJ, or too big of a call for him to execute. The challenge he was up against is the defense immediately stopped respecting the downfield passing game, which made the screen plays ineffective. Had one of the two deeper balls connected it would have likely made USC adjust and opened things up for what we wanted to do.

I feel like this criticism is more of the outcome rather than the in-week prep or in-game play calling. Because I don’t think we know that they WERE uncomfortable with the calls they made with TJ in the game.

Perhaps the question is, what did you want to see other than a different game outcome?

USC immediately put 8 dudes in the box when he came into the game. I feel like this would've been predictable, but I will also argue hindsight is 20/20. I played for a coach years ago who had been a Bill Snyder disciple in the early 90s. One thing he learned from Snyder was contingencies related to injuries. Used to drive us nuts in practice as we prepared for things that only happend once for like 3 plays all season. But God Damnit, we were ready.

My question is “what did you want to see?”
