Nebraska Versus Wake Forest Game Day Thread

how many yards does Marlon Lucky get today? How many receptions for Purify?

How many sacks?

was fielded around the 10.

first gain, off left tackle, pretty much nothing there.

second - flat pass and penalty on the play, illegal shift on the Huskers, 2nd and 15 right away.

3rd - middle screen to lucky, who slips a tackle and picks up about 10.

4th - 3rd and 6 now. pass dropped by nate swift, through his hands. crap. fourth down.

about a 10 yard return.

bad first possession by Nebraska. hey, maybe the fast starts are over with, which won't bother me if the third quarter drought dies too.

1st - rush

2nd - swing pass, picks up enough for a 3rd and 2.

3rd - rush, picks up first down, about a gain of six. Husker linebacker, McKeon, ran himself into the hole and missed the tackle or it would have been a loss.

4th - McKeon makes up for it, big time, picking off the ball, Nebraska ball on the about the 32.

watching carefully.

heh

first down by Lucky, now first down reception by Purify.

Nebraska about the 14, then Lucky rush up the middle for about 3 yards.

Todd Peterson - pass too far in front of him, open in the middle of the field. Good lord.

Nebraska picks up a first down on a personal foul. About the five yard line. Lucky, no gain.

Look for a jump ball here.

jump ball to Purify. pass was way off the mark.

Man, Keller is not doing well right now.

Another jump ball to Peterson, again the pass is way too long. Peterson had no chance at that.

Shit.

Field goal, Nebraska.

Keller.... he seems way off. I mean, way off.

to the one, that's not bad.

kid is quick on the return, didn't hesitate one bit.

we looked a little slow on coverage, or am i being picky?

holy cow. how the hell did that happen?

stunted right into the play, then Christensen missed his block on the linebacker.

...and Lucky can't create 'em.  But we should keep on trying, because I think our depth will force the issue later in the game.  Keller isn't looking good at all.

On defense, well, we're lucky to be up 3-0...

is doing a good job of keeping the ball.

Hodges is accurate if nothing else. No pressure so far without a blitz.

There's going to be a hold called here.

penalty was a drive killer.

damn those mistakes!

with Castille in there on 3rd and two.

good timeout call, i think.

man,keller is struggling.

i hope that contest between Ganz and Keller was as close as they were making it.

that Wake QB throws off his back foot all the time.  That could come back to bite him in the ass before long...

well, it's not like they didn't know this kind of stuff was coming.

4 - sucked inside.

...now that's the name for an offensive line coach...

Man-child...

yeah.... that's the guy in the middle.

shed that block, dude.

Does Wake honestly think they can run right at NU?  Great defensive stand by Nebraska.

1st down is not going well today.

So far, they're doing okay at establishing their offense.

We are not doing well at all.

are obviously ahead of me. I have Dish Network, typically about 45 seconds to one minute behind.

he looked at nunn the whole way on thast last pass

it's a lead.

we should be ahead by more.

like 30. :)

Out the endzone... Touchback!

you know, the misdirection stuff is working very well for Wake.

All this bravado about our defense, they're getting sucked into these plays.

man - if that guy dropped the ball through the end zone, what a massive gift that would be.

Nice goal line stand again...

stop wasting time.

they didn't get in, you aren't going to see it, let's move on.

...Ohio State leading Akron 3-2.

Other than Wisconsin, the Big Televen isn't looking so hot...

I knew I should have bought some beer.

Keller looks like he's lost.

they're letting the other team make calls on the field now?

Good grief.  3rd and 2, give it to Castille fer cripes sake...  The West Coast Offense is all about balance, Bill.  Run-run-run, then pass-pass-pass is NOT balance!

has our defense guessing all over the place.

man. We need to get to the half with the score 10-6, and then get our shit together.

...there was still slack in the chain.  That wasn't a first down...

defense held, they mistaked themselves with another drive killer.

2:10 left. offense get on track.

I'm ready to sacrifice my neighbor. What do guys think? Now, or wait 'til next week? :)

...let's get to halftime and regroup.  That ball was forced into coverage...

better in the two minute drill.

granted, they're giving us the sideline, but he's hitting everything all of a sudden.

shit, keep it up.

hey just got here and keller finally makes a good throw into the endzone. Had to watch at work for awhile so havent been able to post. Just as well as I wouldn't have had much positive to say.

a fuckin' touchdown right there. I don't usually like so say the f' word here, but that's a fuckin' TD!

whooee.

Keller finally gets his poo together.

damn. i'd like a beer.

this year.

Kicking the ball out of bounds is a smart move now. Sounds dumb, but it's not.

the second one anyway. WF should have just taken it at the 35

of that first half is this:

Sam Keller Saves My Neighbor's Life.

it's a feel good story. I was just about to sacrifice him for more ju-ju when Keller throws that pass.

Keller saves lives. It'll be on ESPN next week.

we need to throw the ball to our tight ends because they're catching the ball.

the neighbor's wife brought beer.

how 'bout that. good thing I didn't spill his blood.

lord.

knee?

we don't want to lose a guy with that much experience, even if the secondary isn't doing that well in this game.

Dixon went off limping too

Wake gets down the field, then keeps trying to run up the middle.

i can only guess this is because there isn't room for misdirection, but you think they'd run a bootleg or something.

the offense had better get it going.

because our linebackers are not playing well today.

egad.

and Nunn is till running and now he badly misses purify
CMON

the sideline interview.

crap. wtf happened on that last set? why is it still 2nd and 5?

that was so overthrown. that was a TD.
SHIT SHIT SHIT.

kind spot that was a bad spot.

...but it worked...

pass overthrown.

good grief. he's got to get this worked out of his system.

Where's the f-in balance.  Mix it up a little...

for Lucky. Its about time he gets a hole to run through. Now LET GO DEFENSE>

Some one learn to fucking tackle.

...was that a D-lineman running him down???

its about time we shut them down.

nice blitz, nice rush, nice tackle.

no time for anything funky to happen.

At some point here, Keller is going to hit on one of those passes.

this drive, game breaker?

mother f*ckers!

Hahahahah !

Castille!

If he gets hit behind the line, he still might get the first down on 2nd-4th effort...

Offense needs to keep pushing. Castille with a nice run

anotehr dropped ball!

that's a first down, big pick up.

Dammit! Argh. poopy butt!

play better defense we are going to be screwed.

we can forget about beating USC if things dont drasticly improve.

I'm going to calm down now.

I'm going to stop screaming profanities at my TV with the bay door open. I live in a nice neighborhood with lots of kids.

And we're going to stop them on this drive.

And then we'll score.

Let it be written, so shall it be done.

WF goes conservative and we get great field postion. LETS GO BIG RED.

Arrgh.

playing well.

thank goodness. we have that.

the d-backs let a guy get wide open.

the fourth.

hell, Lee Corso was right. this is going to be a lot closer than everyone thought.

We need to get out of here with a win, and that's it.

finally.

nice call by Cosgrove. Right on it.

move the ball, just move the ball, run the clock.

keller hit one big pass.

"Cmon on dadgumit

poor poor poor pass. C'mon Keller pull your head out.

I can't believe how many receivers Keller has overthrown today.  Looks like he's just trying too hard.

that was a good catch but we have 4 guys there and he still gets 5 yards.

Grixby and Green. That hurts.

There they go again, stretching that chain hard. Home field advantage.

a holding call?

we had better sustain a drive here or else I predict we lose this game. We dont really have to score but we had better run some clock off and at least make them go the length of the field.

Horrible is being kind.

better hold them to fg or it is over because we cant move the ball to score.

nice one Bowman

Wow!

is saving this game for us.

Needed that pick!

should have thrown that away instead of trying to be a hero. Wonder if Keller learned from his mistake. Hope so because we need to keep the ball for about 5 minutes if we want to win.

let the clock run

okay.

now i'm discombobulated.

It's Marlon Lucky time.

should have cut that back. Lots of room back there

it's third down and a throwing down.

first down.

nice pass, nice run on first down.

offense, getting it going.

it's time to score something. three, six, i don't care.

I thought that helmet was the ball. whew

eleven year old son just stated that its over and we won. Hope hes right.

we dont want to stop the clock. C'mon Bill lets get it going.

I don't think my mom watches these games any more, but someone in my family usually calls her to make sure she didn't die during the game.

and I usually dont like Bills decisions.

...to jump offsides....

that was dumb. I actually agree with the announcer.

completely blew that up.

shit. bad offensive line play.

some good coverage. need to keep that up

Grixby was out.

wtf.

man, we need him in the game, I know people don't like him, but he covers well.

A local boy (for me anyway).!!!!!!!

Hope it wasn't a trap..

will it stick? it's close.

but it's got to overrule the ruling on the field.

good defense this series.

sunsabitches.

that's why the refs didn't give them the call.

screw them.

wait until now to take your last time out?

...played extremely ugly, but got a road "W"...

with you guys but I have to go play golf now.

see you Guys next week.

Lots to talk about Jon!
