USC VS NU 1ST HALF GAME THREAD!

[GXUVIR2025]

Well, crud. Our D is getting thrashed on this drive.

 

[Redblood23_rivals]

I was afraid USC would get smart and start running the ball.

 

[SuperBigFan69]

I wouldn’t worry about it. The stadium looks absolutely amazing. I’ve been there or watched darn near every home game since the early-mid 60s. I’m also a seriously trad boomer.

That said, I am absolutely blown away by how it looks tonight. Including the midfield N.

Now then, if only we can back it up with some kick-asss play. GBR!!!!

I agree it looks amazing.

 

[Shimmer003]

Run defense struggling and they have open wr’s. What are we trying to do defensively?

 

[meo1960]

Well, here comes the rush D we've all come to know and love.

 

[Shimmer003]

To be fair…did anyone expect us to shut them down? They have 0 at the end of the first. We need 30+ points to win.

 

[BugsAreQualityProtein]

Dear Donovan defenders what USC has is an actual OL.

 

[Redblood23_rivals]

That is absolutely pathetic

 

[HuskerO58]

Hearing how many starters on the USC Oline are missing.....

 

[B1G RED]

Right now I’m happy that USC decided to abandon the run in the red zone.

 

[Laner2]

Guthrie and Marshal are showing up.

 

[Zeke Husker]

Right now I’m happy that USC decided to abandon the run in the red zone.

They pulled a Nebraska

 

[DerHusker]

STOP THEM!!!

 

[dinglefritz]

Well, crud. Our D is getting thrashed on this drive.

They’re getting 10 yards a pop running it so Lincoln calls 3 straight pass plays in the redzone. LOL.

 

[SuperBigFan69]

Last year the DL would always stuff these plays.

 

[Redblood23_rivals]

Got to watch the outside zone or the toss play

 

[DerHusker]

YES!!!

HELD THEM TO 3!!!

 

[dinglefritz]

Dear Donovan defenders what USC has is an actual OL.

Better dudes. Lincoln Riley has been puttin O linemen in the league for a decade and is in a recruiting hotbed. HUGE NIL base.

 

[TarheelHuskerFan_rivals]

They ran down the field so easy, got in the red zone and called 3 pass plays. Logical

 

[dinglefritz]

Better revisit our 3rd down hold rate. Ty and Nash were beasts but they had been in the system for 5 years.

 

[Laner2]

Better dudes. Lincoln Riley has been puttin O linemen in the league for a decade and is in a recruiting hotbed. HUGE NIL base.

And so far our Oline is not a problem.

 

[lifer56]

YES!!!

HELD THEM TO 3!!!

Better than 7. But I sure hope we figure how to counter their adjustments on O. They made that drive look way too easy.

Tough to counter better dudes.

 

[HuskerO58]

Then we should hire an OL coach who has also put dudes in the league.

 

[DerHusker]

LETS GO HUSKERS!!!

 

[litespeedhuskerfan]

Hee Haw inspired EJ segment there!!

 

[dinglefritz]

And so far our Oline is not a problem.

Not expecting us to be able to run it much from here on out. SC has the dudes and will adjust to what Dana is doing.

 

[DerHusker]

1ST DOWN MY JOHNSON!!!

 

[dinglefritz]

Then we should hire an OL coach who has also put dudes in the league.

Dom has a guy there now. Give him a minute.

 

[dinglefritz]

Corc got abused on that pass incompletion. Just not quick enough to play on the edge.

 

[lifer56]

Corcoran at RT. Lord help us.

 

[lifer56]

COME ON BLACKSHIRTS!!!!

 

[OmahaJhawk]

Wow OC playing scared.

 

[Mack In Motion]

Playcalling on third and long so far (twice so far conceding the punt) is directly related to our OL lack of pass pro ability.

 

[cubsker15]

Corcoran at RT. Lord help us.

Looks like every other guy we have tried there. At some point, you have to just help him with another blocker.

 

[dinglefritz]

Corcoran at RT. Lord help us.

He’s the third team guy. The first drive kind of shocked me. SC’s backer shed I think Rocco to make the play on that 3rd down.

 

[DerHusker]

D-FENCE!!!

 

[Mack In Motion]

Wow OC playing scared.

The alternative is giving up 9 sacks. DH was criticized for his playcalling allowing Minnesota to get to our QB at will.

He called the game last week specifically to work around the weak OL. That worked against Northwestern. Don't know if it will work against USC. Hopefully it will.

 

[lifer56]

We gotta load the box and take our medicine.

 

[dinglefritz]

Didn’t notice if we lined Luke up outside him on third down. Definitely a weak link. Wasn’t Corc an Austin recruit that Minnesota didn’t offer?
