Huskers vs. Golden Gophers - 2nd Half Open Thread

TCF Bank Stadium looks about half red as the Huskers lead Minnesota 34-0 at halftime. While the Huskers have been dominating on both sides of the ball, Minnesota seemed to do just about everything in their power to self-destruct.  Fumbles, penalties.. even tackling their own return guy on a kickoff.

So how soon will we see Brion Carnes in the second half?  How many carries do the freshmen I-backs (Ameer Abdullah, Aaron Green, and Braylon Heard) get?

And how ugly could this one get?  1983 ugly?

Good 1st half

Hopefully the backups get some quality experience in the 2nd half.

They are doing well. Now we just need to play efficiently, take some time off and get another score. Then it’s Brion time

I don't like this.

Playing your starters in a game that is well in hand trains your starters to play below their abilities, play at a slower speed. This will only hurt us next week.

I don't see any harm in pointing out that Minnesota is trying to take some pride in their play for at least one half

They could have acted like Kansas and just folded, but they’re still trying to play with some emotion.

by BledRed on Oct 22, 2011 5:13 PM CDT reply actions  

Well the 3rd quarter wasn't pretty

I think the play calling at the start of the 3rd quarter wasn’t good, and our receiver’s drops didn’t help. Maher had an epic miss on that 51 yard field goal try. Minnesota had a somewhat lucky trick play where Alfonzo Dennard got caught off guard.

The 4th quarter will be back-up time, so I wouldn’t expect much from it.

Can’t complain too much. Too bad the starters didn’t dominate the 3rd quarter, but a win is a win. A 41-14 win is a good win.
