Nebraska Versus Wake Forest Game Day Thread

Welcome to the Wake Forest Game Day Thread. If you're like I am, you're already watching ESPN's College Game Day. Lee Corso pointed out earlier that Wake's is the smallest stadium we've played in in 36 years. Good thing someone looked that up and thought it was important. Corso believes Nebraska will win, but the game will be much closer than we think. Hey, could be true.

KETV did their "The List" segment and, among other things, did a Big Red Zone poll asking "Did Bill Callahan deserve his new five-year contract worth $1.7+ Million per year?"

59% responded "No".
32% responded "Yes, the money is right"
9% responded - "Yes, but he's underpaid".

There are a couple things you can take from this:

  • Bill Callahan still needs to get a signature win as Nebraskans still aren't convinced that he's the right guy for the job.
  • The people that voted that he's underpaid were Callahan's agent and his agent's family, friends, cousins, and colleagues.

Samuel McKewon at Nebraska Statepaper.com has a good article - Five Keys: Nebraska v. Wake Forest.

This guy is writing good stuff about the Huskers. Hate to say it out of respect for what the Omaha World Herald once was, but this guy is producing better stuff than they are at this point, especially for those of us living out of state.

For all you crotchity doomsayer types out there - Nebraska is still one of those teams with a target on it.

Earlier in the week, I mentioned that college football doesn't really exist in Minnesota. Well, this morning my oldest son's freshman soccer team is having a get-together with everyone's family, watching some films on soccer, that sort of thing. When you ask? Why, 11:00 am. On a fall Saturday.

No, I'm not going. I've been told I could watch the game there, but I don't think they're quite ready for that experience. You know, the police show up, thinking there's a domestic dispute happening because there's so much screaming go on, that sort of thing.

Ah, Game Day.

well, here we go.

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

How many sacks?

Go Big Red!

by Jon Johnston on Sep 8, 2007 11:02 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

first kick off

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.

Go Big Red!

by Jon Johnston on Sep 8, 2007 11:06 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

punt fielded at the 12

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.

Go Big Red!

by Jon Johnston on Sep 8, 2007 11:07 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Wake

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.

Go Big Red!

moving well

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.

Go Big Red!

hmmmm

the second time it really wouldn't have mattered if he had telegraphed it, if he had thrown a good pass.  Keller looking like he's got some butterflies early

by Bo Vandy on Sep 8, 2007 11:17 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Need to punch this in after the penalty

a Field goal won't do

by Bo Vandy on Sep 8, 2007 11:15 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

and there it was

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.

Go Big Red!

what is with

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

kickoff

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?

Go Big Red!

wow, just got a gift

I see our pass coverage is still iffy at best

he watched the guy

run right by him.

wtf?

Go Big Red!

by Jon Johnston on Sep 8, 2007 11:21 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Caught looking...

in the backfield.  He was more interested in the QB rolling out than the WR running right by him.  Thank goodness for butterfingers.

3rd and 2

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

Go Big Red!

by Jon Johnston on Sep 8, 2007 11:27 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Gotta get Lucky wide...

...running Lucky into the middle requires the O-line to be blowing open huge holes, and that ain't happening yet.

by Husker Mike on Sep 8, 2007 11:30 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

O-Line Not Blowing Open Holes yet

...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...

by Husker Mike on Sep 8, 2007 11:29 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Wake

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.

Go Big Red!

block

in the back. wow. hopefully that's a drive killer.

Keller better not start pressing...

We actually could use a break on offense and let Keller calm down.  He's not doing a good job of managing the game, and I'm afraid he'll try to do too much which would be even worse.

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

Nevada might just be that bad...

He's calming down...

..but he's staring down his receivers, unfortunately...

okay.

1st down is not going well today.

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

We are not doing well at all.

Okay, Keller having real problems throwing.....

into the endzone.  And he stared the receiver down on that one as well

The storyline

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.

on that drive.  Someone might want to tell them the 2nd half started

by Bo Vandy on Sep 8, 2007 1:11 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

well

the offense had better get it going.

because our linebackers are not playing well today.

egad.

Go Big Red!

At least Terrance Nunn is looking a lot better

today, looks like a #1 receiver

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.

Go Big Red!

UGHHHHHH

that pass is anywhere near Purify, it's a touchdown.

And Callahan certainly seems to have forgotten we have a running back

Whoa..

kind spot that was a bad spot.

they moved it back.

oh, look, they stretch the chain all the way out on that one.

Go Big Red!

Nah...if you look where the guy was when the ball

got there..it was a good spot.

Castille up the middle.

NO LUCKY

OMFG

Lucky had no one around him.

Keller overthrowing, and staring receivers down.

Other than one touchdown pass, Keller is having a very bad game

by Bo Vandy on Sep 8, 2007 1:18 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I haven't ...

been that impressed with Keller at all this year so far. Another miss on a sure td pass.

by taflorom on Sep 8, 2007 1:20 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

if

lucky cut outside, he scores. just like taht.

Go Big Red!

by Jon Johnston on Sep 8, 2007 1:21 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

No offense, but you also would have conceded the

lead in the first half.

I'll take Callahan's calls over your

by Bo Vandy on Sep 8, 2007 1:27 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

another TD

pass overthrown.

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

Balance, Bill.

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

by Husker Mike on Sep 8, 2007 1:20 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

that's why

you have lucky in that play instead of Castille.

that other play - he would have scored if he cut outside.

Go Big Red!

by Jon Johnston on Sep 8, 2007 1:22 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

TD, TD, TD

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

we

look slow.

man that's what happens when you're completely confused. they need to play straight defense, stay home, no stunts, few blitzes.

Go Big Red!

by Jon Johnston on Sep 8, 2007 1:27 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Coz needs to get some speed on the field...

Get Dillard in on the line and get more linebackers and safeties on the field.  They are running around our dline...

by Husker Mike on Sep 8, 2007 1:28 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm wondering if they bothered

to watch game film this week.

Those misdirections have us absolutely baffled

by Bo Vandy on Sep 8, 2007 1:29 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah...

but the linebackers and d-backs aren't filling the holes either.

by taflorom on Sep 8, 2007 1:29 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

No doubt

its about time we shut them down.

by taflorom on Sep 8, 2007 1:28 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

okay

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?

Go Big Red!

by Jon Johnston on Sep 8, 2007 1:28 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

need another TD on this drive

I think that would finally put this team away

Castille!

There's Castille!

although, I think Marlon's gone on that run

by Bo Vandy on Sep 8, 2007 1:30 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Lucky never breaks that tackle...

...but if he does, Lucky goes the distance...

by Husker Mike on Sep 8, 2007 1:31 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

THAT's why you put Castille in on 4th down...

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

by Husker Mike on Sep 8, 2007 1:30 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

OK...

Offense needs to keep pushing. Castille with a nice run

well, here's hoping that drop with no one around

doesn't come back to kill us.

Defense needs to step up here.

no more getting completely fooled by misdirection.

Good start, although out linebackers still seem to be waiting for the runner to come to them

I think...

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

I don't really believe that though

no

against this offense, you don't push. you stand ground.

you keep the offensive lineman off your linebackers.

okay

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.

audibling with 3 seconds left on the play clock, then overthrowing an open receiver by 10 feet

waiting for the ball carriers to come to them?
