He's not going to turn into Drew Brees and it's asking for trouble to try to sling it around in a 2 minute offense. With a 10 point lead just get to half.
I don't think, with benefit of the doubt, anyone is saying that.

You guys are overreacting...we get one 1st down and the half is over. The throws themselves...well, that's another story.

If this becomes a pattern then I agree with you but I think with all the talk this week and how they’re calling this game, MR is trying to push a mindset on the team with playcalling.
Very aggressive and using the whole playbook.

I know. I'm just saying, my appreciation for HH doesn't go away because the play calls ask him to do something he's not really equipped to do. He's kinda the ultimate example of stick with what he's good at or you'll get burned. We've got a 10 point halftime lead on the road so I'm a fan.

But maybe just run the clock with 2 minutes left in the half up ten.

I'm not talking about not trying to score, but see if you can get a run to pop and get aggressive from there.

Up 10 at the half. Not too shabby, even if they did try to step on their dicks the last 4 minutes.
We’re pretty fortunate to be up by 10, even to a crap team like Illinois. This one has the potential to go down to the wire…..BigTen refs, Satterfield, false starts, windy, you know the drill. Ok ok, I’ll be positive, I swear.

I wanted to see a little counter with Fleeks on that last down.. just in case something happened.
Yeah. Odds are it wouldn’t go anywhere but I just view it as a wasted opportunity to let your back or QB make a big play. No doubt analytics say to kneel down in your own territory

Got nearly every break our way that half.

17-7.

Just have to avoid turnovers and need to create one of our own.

Come on Huskers!

Illinois dropped two potential INTs as well. That batted pass was gonna get picked too. It’s about time we got some bounces.

All true, but we're still up ten.
