Nebraska Vs USC - Game Day Thread
Welcome to the Nebraska - USC Game Day Thread. You're welcome to join us for comments on today's college football action, and especially tonight's Nebraska - USC game.
If you want to see what the enemy is thinking, check out Conquest Chronicles.
TJ Simers of the LA Times has made his way across Nebraska and has discovered one trait all Nebraskans have in common:
"Across the land, I've found no one likes Steve Pederson," he said. "I've never met him, don't know anything about him. They think he's arrogant. They want him to have that smirk wiped off his face. Someone suggested plastic surgery."
Ouch!
Does the ghost of last year's game come alive in Memorial Stadium tonight?
Nebraska was so conservative, the normally reticent Carroll let slip to a booster group that he felt the game was little more than a 9-on-7 practice drill.
Our offensive line is big, strong and slow. Sounds like a cliche', doesn't it?
Here's what Griffen had to say about Nebraska's beefy offensive line, whose members average 318 pounds: "They're big and pretty slow when they come off the snap. If you just rush hard up field and just rush, rush, rush everything else will come into place for our defense."
Brandon, the Hi-Plains Drifter, gets some tips from a rental car guy and says that Nebraska will win 28-17.
Notre Dame sees one of their star recruit quarterbacks leave for Northern Illinois? After they fail to score over 10 points today against Michigan, can we dispense with the "Charlie Weis, Offensive Genius Coach", please?

early games are ending. lots of duds. even the Michigan State - Pitt game seemed pretty boring, and it wasn't a half-bad game.

BWaaa haaaa
first snap by the Irish goes over Clausen's head to the foot line.

I have to say...
on the Steve Pederson thing. I have a lot of family and friends in Nebraska, and I don't know many people who like Pederson. A few genuinely hate him, and the rest are indifferent at best.
I heard this week there was some chatter about the new Tunnel Walk, and Pederson essentially said "It's great, people need to get over it." That's not really the way to win people over, especially in Nebraska.
Good luck tonight, by the way. I'll be watching.

yeah
I have seen the videos only, I'll be going back for Iowa State, but you're right about those things - people pick up on them.
Sad but true.

OWH
had an article about it and Stevie said that it would not change and that he thought it was incredible and that people should just get over it and enjoy it. I have seen it on youtube and didn't really care for it and have to say if this is what he thinks is incredible then we may be in trouble as far as football is concerned.

IF there's one thing good about today
it's that if we get beat, it won't be by Central Florida, or Citadel, or Ohio, or the Buffalo Bulls.
Holy cow, there's a lot of sucking going on out there.

Or sucking. That's an equally plausible explanation. As long as we don't see any 'parity' out of Missouri State tonight.

so who has the momentum when this game continues. NU had it after the field goal but USC got some back after the return. I think this favored NU. Let them catch their breath and collect their thoughts. Now go play.

and it has never been a strong point for this staff to make half time adjustments. My guess is we will see a lot more of the same. A lot of runs up the middle in the second half.

disagree
the problem isn't the defense.
the problem is the offense. I don't get why we had plenty of momentum, and then on two drives we died.
we were moving the ball fine in the air, and then Billy goes back to run run run and we're done done done.

Did you...
not see the USC guy running willy-nilly up the middle of our defense. Did you not see us miss tackle after tackle after tackle. Did you not see USC score from 90+ yards on 4 plays to open the game. The offense has probably played better then most people hoped they would but the d has done nothing to stop USC and help out.

That is why
you can't just run the same play over and over and over. You have to do something different in the second half then you did the first. If you dont then the players are good enough to start picking up on what you are doing and will make the adjustments to it.

USC dropped their DE into coverage and Sam Keller through the ball right into that area.

One thing I would have like to have seen...
is us trying to throw the ball down the field more. Hardy had a couple of steps and drew an interference and Purify made a couple of good catches as did Swift. Throw it deep once and a while and open the slants back up.

Unranked Kentucky
beating Louisville 40-34. Can you say that Louisville doen't have better athletes then Kentucky? About the same difference as what we have in our game I would say and yet Kentucky has given itself a chance. That right there is a good example, third down and we throw to a reciever who isn't anywhere close to the first, he shouldn't have even been running that route.

Now I'm confused.
I thought I just watched Lou. pull it out 40-34, but I guess it was a W for Kentucky. Watching too many games I guess....

What the heck
has happened to Nunn? His hands are not anywhere close to what they used to be.

well
it's not the big 12 yet.
and i think it's fair to say that the entire b12 sucks, except for Oklahoma.

If we dont
win the North then BC and SP should both resign. This is the worst the North has been and if we cant win that we do need new coaches(and yes I think we need them anyway).

they cna't
wihtout Perlman resigning too.

Sure they can
and I couldn't care less about Pearlmen. You never see a President resign because of the sports teams but ADs and coaches do it all the time.

yeah
you do.
we may not be the SEC, but we're acting like it.

School you dont have to name the pres.

I wont
say it has never happened in the history of college sports but it is so rare that no one could tell you of one off the top of there head and would probably even have a hard time finding one on the internet. Especially at a major university.

Good effort
For what it's worth, I'm very impressed by the effort and heart the Huskers showed in this game - especially after going down so big.
I was one of the folks who had some serious questions about Nebraska after watching last week's game against Wake. But congratulations on not giving up until the final whistle.
Good luck to the Corn Nation in B12 play from a Cal fan / alumnus.
Go Bears!

That's extremely equitable of you to say. Actually, I think NE's offense played pretty well overall, with the exception of Keller's 2 INTs which led to easy scores. BUT, our D was just a complete joke. We have some good players there, but that was probably THE most pathetic display of a run defense I have EVER seen in 40 years of Big Red FB! A handful of other choice games come to mind--CO, MO, KS--but I think this one takes the cake in that SC just ran fairly simple plays straight up the gut and off tackle and our D was absolutely nowhere to be found. I've never seen anything like it. I don't think they stopped SC even once.
This one's on COZ--AND Calli--but I doubt we'll hear anything from him this week as we never do. If it's not one thing it's another with COZ. Last week NE got repeatedly burned with Wake's perimeter running game which was also a joke since THAT'S a staple of their offense. It was as if NE was seeing it for the first time that day. Last year we got repeatly burned with simple corner routes delivered by a receiver converted to QB(Thompson) vs OU. Normally I've supported these coach's but that display last night from Coz's D was just unacceptable!
Postgame, Calli says they're going to look at the film and 'fix it!' Fix WHAT?!!! The fact that there were gaping wholes, pathetic tackling, and players overpursuing almost off the field on the simplest running plays?!
This season's looking like a repeat of the previous year in that we beat up on a few cupcakes and then have glaring flaws against even moderately good teams: Okie St., KS, to name a few.
I don't see things changing anytime soon since, with the exception of Gabbert and a few O line recruits coming in(who will take at least 2 years to develop), NE's '08 class is not top 5 material by any stretch of the imagination.
I'm not trying to be overly negative here, I like Callahan FTMP--COZ kind of lost my support last night--but it looks like NE will be hovering in the #20-25 range for years to come; if that.
NE would be lucky to compete with the 2nd string units of the SCs, OUs, FLs, LSUs, of the world.
I never thought I'd say it, but WELCOME TO MEDIOCRACY Big Red Nation!
Good luck to SC, they're an unbelievable team!
