USC Postgame Overreaction

What an ass-kicking was that? We beat up Nevada, then barely beat Wake Forest on the road, and we kidded ourselves that we should be on the same field with the Trojans? Phssahawwwww!
This was a measurement of where we're supposed to be against the best. Where are we? Inept.
Callahan/Pederson haters have good reason to be angry after watching this game. Me? If you're looking for a scapegoat, let's fire Steve first. Leave Bill for later.
I'm a suck up, really I am. I try to stick up for Nebraska coaches. Not as bad as those guys at BigRedBoard, but after this, it's going to be really hard to believe in this coaching staff.
Hey, Billy C wasn't conservative. Wasn't that something we were all bitching about last year?
We learned that we still aren't ready to play big-boy football. The good news is that we can still play well with the toddlers in the Big 12 North, get our asses kicked in the Big 12 Championship game by Oklahoma, give ourselves a fake trophy and have smilin' Steve tell us that everything is wonderful and how excited we should be.
All my pick 'em games went to hell this weekend. What do I know?

I left most of my post game remarks this a.m. on the game day thread from yesterday, but I agree with you. I think COZ is the main problem, though Calli is seriously suspect--in overall prep--after last night's 'showing', though I thought our offense played pretty well with the exception of the INTs. The D left us with absolutely no chance.
They're going to 'fix it", honest they will! Ha Ha Ha Ha......

We don't have big time talent, nor will we for years to come. Gabbert is the real deal, as are the 2-3 O line guys we have coming in next year, but Jonas Gray is just another servicable back and the other skill players they've recruited are no GREAT shakes.

We have some decent talent on this team, but I don't think these coaches, especially COZ, can coach them up to the big time. Lucky and Glenn are just average backs. Where was Castille last night?!
How is it that OU/SC/LSU/FL can bring in frosh and have them playing like pros in their 1st year on the field? They have excellent coaching, that's how(well, the talent is top flight as well).
I don't think COZ has a clue at this point. Really, what did WI ever accomplish with him at the helm? Calli's O verbage is just way too convoluted.
"They're going to fix it!" Yeah, right! Looks like the North will be another nailbiting affair this year and I don't even want to go to the CC game and get killed by OU.

UCLA 6, UTAH(?) 44: Norvell O coordinator! OM friggin' G!

This sucks, it really does.

The main problem on offense...

is that we are predictable. I hadn't really thought of this until last years cotton bowl. The press reported that the Auburn staff told the players that after the 1st qt. they would know what we were going to run and would make adjustments to it, all they needed to do was hold on through the first and then believe in the coaches. Well after rewatching that game on tape and many others from memory and then the 3 games this year they were completely right. We run 10-12 different plays in the first qt and then run 5-6 of those the rest of the game. The defense makes some minor adjustments to stop them and we get beat because we dont make any adjustments on either side of the ball.
