    Takeaways

    That's what it looked like to me. No way to really tell. This is one example of why I seldom criticize coaches unless it's obvious. Play calling is not obvious very often. So even in the situations above, one needs to take that obvious defensive weak spot, and weigh that against an observation...

    Takeaways

    It's pretty simple. We were running the ball when everyone knew we'd be running. Their safety cheated every play. We ran on third and medium, and I believe third and long. Twice and once I believe, maybe more. We could have thrown over the top, and that would probably have gone for a TD. I...

    Takeaways

    I meant Fitz and I meant Ferentz with respect to play calling. I see no useful purpose in referencing Frost, except to point out certain differences in discipline, culture, etc. The play calling and styles of Fitz and Ferentz are often similar, and a much better comparison. Maybe you...

    The truth hurts!!!

    The B1G point is incorrect. Blaming AM, who took more hits than most on this board could stand to take, is ridiculous and immature. It's like Iowa's QB, he's not a good QB, but their OL was horrid last season. And they both played dinged last season due to this. I'd like to see a message board...

    Takeaways

    We're going to disagree, and it isn't, and shouldn't be taken as a slam on Northwestern players. Nebraska had more players, with more natural talent on the field yesterday, and it's been this way for several years, and not just against Northwestern. Northwestern and other teams take kids with...

    Takeaways

    Yeah, I need to see what NW does against a real defense. I'm not dissatisfied with what I witnessed, but yesterday's game isn't the best way to learn what we have. And no one can answer how it develops. It depends how you define talent. Pure athletic ability? Nebraska, and it isn't close...

    Fitzgerald's one-score games

    +1. And if he needed to, he could have thrown over the middle as badly as our defense was out of position. Fundamental football. Lack of discipline. Developmental program -v- Entitle program.

    Fitzgerald's one-score games

    He has embraced when Nebraska is in denial about. Development. Fundamental football. Discipline. I'm always reluctant to throw coaches under the bus, mostly because most that do that have never really been in charge of anything. They sign the back of the paycheck, not the front. This said...

    Takeaways

    The game was a true representation of how Northwestern wins with 60 minutes of effort and how Nebraska loses games by not playing complete games. Akers is very good, this is not unimportant. Fitz made Ferentz look like a riverboat gambler. First (meaningful) blitz was called due to formation...

    Benning Says Nebraska Needs To Accept They Are A Developmental Program

    Chase Brown of Illinois was a 3 star recruit. Burt knows what a developmental program is, and knows how to win the the B1G. And people thought this was crazy. And people watched that entitled coach of low morals, and watched the players reflect their coach, and still are in denial.

    Benning Says Nebraska Needs To Accept They Are A Developmental Program

    Derp is guys like you, unwilling to accept the truth. You got what you wanted today. Nebraska didn't embrace being a developmental program, and again lost to a less talented team. You know how I know you've never met a payroll and sign the back of a paycheck instead of the front?

    Benning Says Nebraska Needs To Accept They Are A Developmental Program

    Quarterback could be developed. If he is head wasn't destroyed in the second half. Give the guy some easy throws to make to get him back on track. Nope. That opportunity was there, and now in defeat, we gained zero. And risked losing a QB for the season. There is talent all over the field, but...

    After some though this afternoon, I suspect I'm correct, and you are not so much.
