I listed a litany of what I perceived to be wrong in the BYU game somewhere on the SportsHoopla.
In the BYU game thread there is more observations from others. For me, the BYU game is history, on to South Alabama.
The #1 thing I want improvement on is the Offensive Line. Several problems can be fixed by this. Someone HAS to be better than the way Chongo Kondolo played.
It looks like Riley and Cavanaugh and Langsdorf tried to convert the run offense into a pass offense, and they just realized that it just does not happen in the first game. Flashback to 2004.
I am sure the O Line was trying to do exactly as they were coached, but in a real game, a few things were exposed.
If Tommy Armstrong continues to run for his life, then nothing was corrected.
If the rush offense just turns out to be offensive, then nothing was corrected.
If the offensive line continues to have dumb penalties, which seems to be the norm instead of an aberration anymore, then nothing has been corrected.
If Tommy Armstrong continues to go through his progressions, even though there is 10 yards of open field in front of him and the nearest defender is 5 yards away, and gets called for Intentional Grounding, then nothing has been corrected.
Tommy Armstrong threw for over 300 yards, 3 TDs, and 1 INT. Great. Woo hoo. Nebraska still lost, and there is so much wrong on offense, defense, and special teams.
