hopefully a heavy dose of the run from our offense this week, whether it's TA or Fyfe at QB. we'll see, it always seems like early in games even bad defenses stuff our run plays.

maryland has struggled offensively against decent defenses, so hopefully we can bring the wood there.

the sad part is this --TA will prolly sit this un out
the dude is a true warrior fer the Husker Nation
enough said

I hate to say it but there's no way TA will be ready Saturday. He needs to sit this one out and be ready for Iowa. And that offensive line needs to step up and make some holes to rn the ball tomorrow.
Fyfe won't lose this game tomorrow he's just a back up. It's the five in front of him or the one in the pressbox that will lose this game.

Dude is ready as he was any day for the last 4 years, he may knot play the hole game but he sure as shit isn't sitting this one out on account of a fucking the iowa

A ham string pull doesn't heal in a weeks time and if he goes in and reinjures it then they're worse off then they are now. I understand TA wants to play every snap but it's Riley's job to use his resources in the best way for the team. Last week there was no reason to hold him out. This weak there is.
There's 11 players on offense. Fyfe doesn't need to be the reason we lose the game if he goes in. It's time for the line to put on their big boy pants and play some fucking football.

Backup quarterbacks lose games for their teams all the time, and most of them are better than Fyfe. If he can't keep the defense honest our work-in-progress offensive line won't be able to block 9 in the box. That isn't an indictment of our OL or our coaches. The blame for that rests squarely on the shoulders of two guys in Ohio.

Is it official that Fyfe is the starter? High School teammate of Foltz.

Maryland does have to watch out, the only tape they have him is the Purdue game where he threw for over 400. Fyfe can throw, he just has a hard time telling the difference in jerseys.

If it is Fyfe, I expect him to have a good game to honor Sam.

9 win season for sure. Nebraska wins by 14+.

Fork Iowa. 10 win season is in the binoculars.

It's not official but I'd bet on it.

i agree, TA shouldn't play, hamstring injuries are very easy to re-injure.

if fyfe can't handle being a running QB, i'd get Darlington's speed in there and let him do it. but i do think Fyfe is capable enough to hit some guys if Maryland stacks the box. he didn't get a great chance against OSU because they were controlling the line of scrimmage with just 4 guys, MD isn't them, so should be more room to work. i'm sure they'll bring a bunch of exotic blitzs to rattle him, so it won't be easy sailing but i think he'll do fine. very similar game to Purdue last year, except our defense is 10 times better.

Sorry but I don't buy it. IMO teams with backup quarterbacks playing lose games. There's 11 guys out there and when a leader goes down it's up to the other ten to pick up the slack.
Fyfe doesn't run like TA but we have running backs who do. That means our line needs to provide the holes for them to get through and the time for Fyfe to make the handoff without being rushed.
Fyfe can complete passes but our line needs to give him protection, time to make his passes without being rushed.
I am confident our defense will have no problem giving our offense opportunities to get on the field tomorrow. Once they do it's up to our "work in progress" line to step up.
Of course that's my opinon only but I'm not going to blame this game on the one kid who has the least experience on the field.

For Nebraska to win they better not have Fyfe pass 40 or 50 times, and they better have patience with the running game. Maryland is capable of beating Nebraska.

Don't worry, Oak will and a few others here will also. Fyfe can complete passes... True story!

I'm not blaming him for being bad, it's not his fault he is in this position. At a school like Nebraska, a player of his caliber should never be called upon to do anything other than run scout team. That's where your logic breaks down. Most other schools actually have a D1 player as their backup. Don't think a backup can lose a game despite talent around them? See Joe Bowserman circa 2011 or whatever year that was.

We literally only have bad memories of Fyfe playing QB for this team.

I mean I think back to the games he's had to play in........they've been bad.

This looks bad.

I want to make it clear I'm not hating on Langsdorf. He's called some good games and he's had game where the team's play prevented him from calling what would work. He has had some head scratchers too but I was just saying he needs to keep it simple.

Our staff don't make mistakes. Never. Not ever.

If they had Bama's recruits they'd be 10 times better than Bama.

Our staff is perfect.

And nice
