but you write good articles corn blight. Reading this makes me think of the article posted on RR and here earlier in the year that made the ludicrous and insulting assumption that Shawn Watson would be a candidate for the CU job. I’ll tell you what, after Watson gets fired at the end of the year you can hire Dan Hawkins as your new OC. How bout that? lol

There’s nothing in the offense that made anyone fumble. I don’t see how any reasonable person could blame the offense/coaching for the loss today.

with the inconsistent play. I thought this year would be different. KState is doing better than the Huskers in Big12 play. I’m not sure the North title is attainable anymore. Anyone else agree?!

When Watson called for a long pass on 3rd down with 4 yards to go for first down I became convinced he was trying to sabotage the game.

there isn’t one guy on this team you can lean on. For god’s sake, Todd Peterson seems like Jerry Rice compared to these guys. Ted Gilmore needs to pack his bags. Today

is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Something NEEDS to CHANGE to get this bus rollin’!!
GBR!

There isn’t any leadership. I see the offensive staff staying till the end of the year. We have to deal with the deck we have till then. An infusion of leadership on the field could make a big difference. This offense lacks confidence and Cody Green carries it in spades. We need him on the field now!

Ya know, if a perfect storm of suck doesn’t hit us inside the 5 yard line yesterday, we’re talking about how we won by 20 points today. I don’t think it’s time to can anybody yet.

I haven’t wanted to see Zac benched yet, but I wouldn’t mind seeing Green get the nod at Baylor. I wouldn’t forget Zac either, but I might give Green the start.

The way these guys all play on offense is hard to watch.

Consider this fun little analogy:

Husker Offense – Stiff. Rigid. Afraid to make mistakes, almost like the firing squad will be waiting for them should they fail. Confused. Faceless. Boring.
Sounds a lot like the Soviet Union!

Husker Defense – Passionate. Driven. Gutsy. Reckless at times. Fun. Memorable. And exactly the opposite of the offense.
Sounds like the good ’ol U.S of A.!

I think Nebraskas paperweight…err, uh…playbook is far too complicated. Look at our sucess when that playbook consisted of 3 plays (Run left, run right, and run straight up the gut). Wasn’t flashy, but ask Kirk Ferentz what he would prefer right now, flashy or undefeated and a tad boring? Teams still do it, and it works simply because these 18-22 year olds aren’t maxing out their brain cells while trying to catch a pass. It was easy: Hand football to player. Player runs as far as he can. Player eventually ends up in the endzone. Nebraska wins.

 Sometimes I feel like Watson sits up in his throne like the King, and directs his “Masterplan”, while the troops on the field run around in panic mode, wondering if they’ll make it out alive. After all, they do have both the opposing team, and their own heavy-handed fans to deal with in addition to the coaches. It’s gotta be tough when you have 3 parties calling for your head!

 I was a bit concerned when Cody Green stated in is press conference before this game (“I know about 270-280 plays now!”) as he was smiling. Something just didn’t sit right with me on that. It was just too much focus on material, and not enough on the attitude. I have been a manager for years, and the biggest mistake leaders can make is to take the fun out. You want people to dis-engage and live in a cloud?….take out the fun. Easiest way to kill your identity, and drive people into mediocrity.

Cody Green is a fantastic and talented freshman. He should be focusing on his fundamentals, but also learning from the older guys how to have fun and win. The intangibles. The so called “leaders” on this Nebraska offense haven’t figured that out quite yet.

I Like Bo Pelini like the rest of us do. I would even be willing to stick with him for a few more seasons of bad play. But it starts with him (one of his favorite comments). This guy needs to lighten up a bit, simplify the offense, and get these kids in the right frame of mind.

How often have we seen this guy after practice looking like he just lost his dog? Come on Bo, there is passion for the game…and then there is just downright depression. Too much science, and not enough philosophy. Let’s go back to the basics, and the American way. Draw up a play on your hand, and tell your boys to just go out there and have fun. That’s what this game is all about.

to understand why everyone keeps pointing to the fact that ISU was without their starting runningback and quarterback….I could understand it if they had scored 30 points or something but the total was 9. 9!!!!!! for gods sake. Get over the fact that they didnt have those players, they dont play defense.
