1ST HALF GAME THREAD!!!!

[FissionReaction]

That was a TD. There was no ambiguity in the replay. The nose of the ball had crossed the plane before his elbow went down. A BS call.

 

[calhusker89]

We're going to have some growing pains. I would have preferred an RPO, but that's just me.

 

[BetterRed1]

Hope you guys have a better QB, this guy isn’t the answer.

Good legs but that’s about it.

Piss off herkie. Your guy is a Michigan reject.

 

[weiddj]

So my criticism so far was that end of half on Satterfield and HCMR with timeouts and getting play in. Than those fn oline penalties.

 

[Mrs.Jeans15]

Suspect coaching too.

 

[The_Guy_Behind_The_Guy_Behind_The_Guy]

Are we back to Jamal lord?

I was thinking the same thing!

 

[Mrs.Jeans15]

Yep.. Refs screwed us.

 

[Suhrreal]

No RPO with 8 seconds left. You tell Sims to look at one target and if that target is not open to just sail the ball out of bounds. Kick the FG and come out with the ball to start 2nd half. Horrible playcall.

 

[SuperBigFan]

Piss off herkie. Your guy is a Michigan reject.

Sims is already the best athlete on the field vs every team but Michigan.

 

[HawkMachine]

Dumb pick.

But shouldn't have mattered. I don't know how you can review that and not see TD. His elbow was the first body part down, and when you combine those two angles, the ball clearly broke the plane before any body part touched. I really want to know what they weren't sure about.

The problem with the review was the camera angle.

You need the camera on the damn line.

Visually the ball looked it was across the line, but with that angle, you can’t be 100%.

Absolutely worthless camera placement. Jmo

 

[RBigredMax]

That’s was such an easy play to make. Anyone one of us would’ve called a run…. And our OC calls a throw

Run with 11 secs out and no timeouts 6 yards from pay dirt. Maybe and RPO but not a straight up run

 

[54T]

The message at halftime has to be: “Fellas, if you’ll stop beating yourselves, you’ll win this game!”

 

[Baxter48_rivals204143]

Lots of home cooking on that last possession explain to me how you can review a call and the false start isn’t negated?

 

[cubsker_rivals142943]

Minny has 15 carries for 39 yards.

 

[SuperBigFan]

Skers second half totals 7.5???

 

[TampaBaySkers]

I love watching the kool aid turn sour in a half of football lmao

Refs robbing you outta tds will do that, maybe if Nebraska has more sex scandals we’ll get a fair shake

 

[Lincoln100]

Yep. You’re at the 6-inch line. Call the timeout and set up a QB sneak, FFS.

Or, don't false start and get 6 (keeping your timeout if you get stuck). It isn't an issue if he holds for a 1/4 of a second.

 

[Enrozes]

Yards per play 5.75 to 3.8 in the first half. Nebraska playing better overall but killing themselves with penalties and turnovers as usual.

Offense centered around running the QB is not promising for the season outlook, though.

Edit: "Better" is probably the wrong word. "More productively" maybe?

Put that speech on tape to use over and over and over again

 

[Shimmer003]

87 was The message at halftime has to be: “Fellas, if you’ll stop beating yourselves, you’ll win this game!”

This is literally the last 15 years of Nebraska football and no one has figured out how to correct it. Unfair to ask Rhule to do it in one offseason, but that is the crux of the situation.

 

[EmormousDouchebag]

I guess we're getting wore down a little bit.....???? Is it true because what's his face said it?

 

[GeorgeFlippin]

That

Minny has 15 carries for 39 yards.

That's solid run defense, but those 3rd downs are killing them.

 

[Clemke32]

Ugh, what a crap show this has been… why not just tie it up at the end of the half? We’re getting the ball back to start the second half! The D still can’t get off the field and our QB seems to have more completions to Minnesota than to our own receivers

 

[putemintheaisles]

We still suck.

 

[The_Guy_Behind_The_Guy_Behind_The_Guy]

Sims looking like Vince Young out there.

Well…kinda

 

[Yantzeee]

Stop giving Rhule a pass like he did a great job. We get it Ms Rhule. We get it

 

[CameronKrazie86]

That's an infuriating ending to an otherwise solid half all things considered. I don't know how you miss that he crossed the goalline. It's just atrocious officiating, half the ball was crossed it.

Defense playing well, offense is a work in progress to say the least.

I disagree.. mobile qb is the key to us winjing 9+

 

[RockyMtnHusker]

I see us just working some bugs out. IF we make adjustments I like our chances. If not, what you see is what you get.

 

[RBigredMax]

A lot of football to play. 0-3 there’s plenty of game left.

Let’s see some adjustments and for all that is holy no more TO’s

 

[JOHNNY N]

Going for the TD was correct - the play call was bad from conception to execution.

Wrong. Great play call. Terrible decision from simms. TE was wide open...

 

[schuele]

People mad because it didn’t work…would be the same people mad if we kick fg with 11 seconds left. Or if we run and don’t get in and clock runs out. Sucks sims threw an int. Doesn’t mean it was a coaching mistake

The mistake wasn’t taking a shot at the TD. It was going hurry-up from the 6-inch line. Use your timeout and you have about a 99% chance of punching that in.

Passing game is very concerning but let’s just do what works tonight and go get a W.

 

[putemintheaisles]

Well…kinda

Wish it was the Vince Young that won a 2006 national championship vs USC lol, not struggling to complete a pass against the row your boats

 

[SuperBigFan]

I mean, we all see it, right?

Sims has to run the ball as much as possible and you only need 3 pass plays

drag routes
One dude running deep
and roll outs

 

[SickOfPractice]

I think Solich shared his offense with Rhule in the spring.
Crouch left, Crouch right, Crouch up the middle.

Oh well. Only 0-3 at the half. Hopefully they come out in the 3 Qtr with some answers.

 

[KingBlackshirt]

Nothing for Fidone and Kemp is pretty surprising

 

[king_kong_]

Only down 3 at the half - I'll take it.

keep playing good D

anything can happen

 

[SuperBigFan]

Well…kinda

Sims is 5 yards per carry...every time.

The Big Ten defenses, especially in the west, don't have players to stop him running.

A millions times this. Why are our coaches brain dead on what's so obvious to msg board dipshits?
