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?
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.
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.
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.

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.

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

a Field goal won't do

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.

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?

3rd and 2
stunted right into the play, then Christensen missed his block on the linebacker.
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.
by Jon Johnston on Sep 8, 2007 11:32 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs
block
in the back. wow. hopefully that's a drive killer.
by Jon Johnston on Sep 8, 2007 11:32 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

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.

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

Lucky had no one around him.
Keller overthrowing, and staring receivers down.
Other than one touchdown pass, Keller is having a very bad game

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.
