Miss St v LSU
- Thread starter otismotis08
- Start date
Game 1 and their offense comes out firing on all cyclinders. Wish Nebraska was ever able to do that. 4 turnovers and still have put up 44 points.
you got a good point there, I was going to give credit because this was season one and game one during the COVID-19 pandemic vs a Leach offense with a Top 50 range QB that has an arm on him. But you are correct sir, Bos defenses tend to give up massive yards, even to teams like Wisconsin in the BIG 10 that are run heavy. So it doesn’t matter if it’s passing or rushing.

WOW, the ACT word of the day... Are you sure you want to use this word on a football board? Especially on this board since NU is bringing down the intelligence level of the B1G?
yes, LSU won the National title last year but let’s not pretend even for a second this is the same LSU team. They had 14 players leave for the NFL from that National Title team. Gorney even predicted this LSU team to go 6-4 this season, if not worse.

It couldn’t have happened to a better guy. So is bozo the only division one coach t has given up 400 yards rushing to one guy and now given up 600 yards passing to one guy? He’s a member of the thousand yard club
If Bo gets fired, he’ll get a $6.9 million buyout. He has a three year contact at $2.3 million per year. Good work if you can get it.
Bo should retire with all the money he got from the Nebraska buy out. But I think what prevents that is that his wife doesn't want him around the house that much of the time. Maybe he could run a cat shelter or something in his retirement to keep him occupied.

IF not for Frank hiring him, Bo would still probably be a position coach in the NFL. That's probably what he's best suited to do....maybe. LSU has a boat load of new DBs running a new relatively complicated Pelini defensive scheme. It's actually not all that surprising they're having problems. I don't doubt that they'll get better. They're too talented to suck that badly for a whole year....aren't they?
Kind of ironic that LSU has Raymond, Busch and Pelini all on their defensive staff. IMO, they would have been better off promoting Raymond than hiring Bo.
It sounds like Bo played man the entire game. I am guessing that his DB's haven't learned his zone concepts to his satisfaction thus he made no effort to mix coverages. I also believe there is a 'book' on how to defeat a Pelini defense just like any other defense and the pirate knows those weaknesses. The pirate is a good coach. Pelini couldn't adjust though because the players are still too confused with the concepts. I'm thinking the virus thing didn't help practice time to learn the new defense.
Having said all this I still think it's a valid point that Pelini is slow to make/stubborn with making in game adjustments.

Yeah they should have mixed in some zone, but they weren't running the man defense right either. When you blitz in man coverage, you always want to take away the inside throws. They failed to do that a number of times and even simple crossing routes went for big yards. They also lost track of MSU's stud running back several times which was a mistake.
The fact that Bo won 9 games every year and tied or won the division more than half the time as well as Callahan’s and Riley’s time clearly shows that any buffoon should be able to win nine games and/or win the division within their first three years at Neb
you have to go all the way back to 1957 to find a hire at Neb that was more inept
