Nebraska @ Northwestern Week 2012

Northwestern wins, Kolter rapes us

 

[Mr Nebraska]

Big day from us Saturday. Expect personnel changes on defense. Limit our turnovers on offense and i think we can win this game by 10+

I wonder how many Husker fans travel to the game Saturday?
There are already a lot of transplants living in Chicago as well.

Something I was thinking about yesterday as I watched the Baltimore Dallas game... One of the commentators was talking about how these days coaches try and get into the perfect look for every single play and more often than not it backfires. They try and over complicate things and it slows their players down.

We've heard it said many times that Bo does this exact thing. He wants the perfect call for every play. Well with these hurry up offenses you have Bo's kids running a complicated defensive scheme shuffling personnel in and out, making check after check after check...

It's time to SIMPLIFY things. The players heads are spinning out there.

That may be why spread teams have more success, because spread often goes hand in hand with hurry up.

 

[Brasky]

All I'm saying is Bo has dismissed any suggestion that the defense might need to be simplified this season.

If the kids are doing calculus out there maybe it is time for a little algebra?

Bo just must not feel like he has the athletes to simplify and let them make plays.

In college, it's time to move past algebra.. calculus aint even hard, bro

You know what I was getting at douche.

It's time to go back to basics.

I agree w/ Brasky.

Instead of a base defense, NU sends in an alignment 'play to play'.

The #'s don't lie.

However, NU doesn't have the horses up front to give the back 7 much of a chance to play assignment. Add to that, the back 7 don't tackle well.

Defense, the one thing NU fans though we could depend on is a clusterfuck.

 

[Brasky]

Thanks RA for your non homosexual response.

 

[Red_Alert]

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[FNG]

Wonder how many Huskers fans will in the stands of Northwestern? 20,000

 

[Red_Alert]

Steinkuhler and Meredith had 2 assisted and 1 solo tackle each vs Ohio St.

Bo should pull their Blackshirts and award them to underclassmen who've been working their asses off to get one.

oh wait

 

[Red_Alert]

Bo presser is @ 10:30 this morning.

 

[JonJon]

On paper it looks like we have a slight edge. I watched Northwestern this weekend. They looked very fast on the edges.

Did you take South Dakota out too?

When I get home from work this afternoon I'm gonna whip up a quick script to go through and see how teams rank in rushing yards, passing yards, pts per game, etc......only against FBS schoolz en sech
