Game Thread: #7 Michigan State @ Nebraska -- 6pm CST on ESPN

He most likely got sick and tired of Davie getting out maneuvered continually. On that play, Davie was staying with the receiver, but Gerry figured he would just screw it up when the football reached the receiver, so he intervened.

He got beat

 

[Exorbitant]

He got beat

Obviously Gerry doesn't have the speed that Davie has, but again, he intervened because he got sick of Davie screwing it up. Davie has the speed, but he either doesn't have the smarts or maybe he needs better coaching?

Sometimes trying to follow your train of thought is like this.

Yes, a walkon who passed for over 400 yards in his very first start, if the coach wanted to go full bore west coast, which thankfully didn't happen last night, otherwise Nebraska WOULD NOT have celebrated a win. Common sense play calling led to a win. That's a novel idea, common sense play calling!

400 yards, 4 interceptions, and 1 fumble.

And there could have been at least 3 more INTs due to throws being behind receivers.

Fyfe would have gotten sacked 8 times last night. No way he could have escaped out of the pocket.

And whats changed from last year to this year?

Riley's critics want to know...

He kind of did. He's been going through the motions.
You are using as an example of the talent on this team the guy who body checked Daniel Davie against Northwestern and then got beat?

You're asking the wrong person. Nate Gerry is not one of my favorite players so my answer would be not much has changed. He takes too many plays off.
As for the "trophys" you bolded, one's a pre-season list and the other's a watch list which has dozens of players on it. One could argue that neither mean a thing.

My original question was if we have so much talent where are our "all conference" players.

same with you fella.

It wasn't meant as an insult. You were all over the place.

TA could easily had at leat 2 more picks last night, one of them being a gem like the one he threw against NW, you know the sweet little pick six?

Haven't you read some of my previous comments about how a lot of risk could have been minimized by west coast Riley by just limiting the pass attempts?

sometimes I condense my comments because of laziness, I'll admit it.

There is absolutely no argument..........zero arugments.......in any way, shape or form.......that can be made for starting a walk-on slow white boy who has thrown as many INTs as he has TDs in his career, over a 3 year starter who has won a ton of games and has the ability to get away from a pass rush and make plays with his feet.

You have no argument. You haven't even argued. You just keep saying the backup should get a chance.

Yeah a slow walkon who doesn't have any experience yet is forced to pass almost 50 stinking times in his first start ever?! That was just plain ludicrous especially considering just how bad Purdue's rush defense is. Also for the thousandth time, I said west coast should place Fyfe in for a series or two, not the whole game to give TA a different perspective when he's in one of his stink modes.

I'm convinced if Tommy was white you'd have no problem with him starting.

That figures you would come up with shit like this.

So your definition of talent is to become the best person, theoretically, at a given position?

Good Lord, you're not really serious are you? After all that you are going to attack my definition?

Talent means above average ability. Doesn't it stand to reason if we are a team of above average ability that a few of our players would excel when compared to their peers?
Honestly you seem to be just looking for a fight. If you wish to discuss something I am more than willing to. If you wish to debate something I love a good debate. But I see no point in us just going back and forth pissing on each other. We just both get wet and it stinks.

 

[HuskerinBig10]

Watch the Nebraska band in the final minutes and they keep on going!!

Shockwave kept crashing on me, so the video would stop every few seconds and the audio was a couple seconds ahead.


They play Heartbreaker at the 18:20 minutes mark as in broke Michigan State's Heart.

Those drums took a beating.

 

[HuskerInSecLand]

Couldn't watch the whole thing but I skipped through it. Awesome!!!

 

[Exorbitant]

I'm convinced if Tommy was white you'd have no problem with him starting.

Nebraska had a QB in the early to mid nineties called Tommie Frazier and one called Brook Berringer. Frazier was black, and Berringer was white. True story! I was glad to see Frazier, a black fella, come back after he missed most of the 1994 season, and regain his starting position from Berringer, a white fella, because Berringer, a white fella, wasn't getting the job done against Miami.
