"It wasn't a very pleasant meeting, I can tell you that," Beck said.

In one of his most candid interviews since taking over as offensive coordinator, Beck was very up front with his evaluation of the offense in its first game under his new system. He said the most glaring aspect were the numerous mental breakdowns his players had throughout the game.

"We didn't play very well, and we made a lot of mental mistakes," Beck said. "We did a lot of things we haven't done - there were a couple mistakes from players that they haven't done since last spring maybe. It just blows my mind. I don't know what happened. We just made a lot of mistakes."

By the end of the day, Nebraska's offense had settled for four field goals, fumbled four times, losing two, and didn't score a point for the final 21 minutes of the game. Beck said part of what made the performance so discouraging was the fact that he came into the game with such high expectations from his offense.

"I have a lot of confidence in our players," Beck said. "I believe that they're good players and I believe we have a lot of talent. We just didn't display the expectations of myself, our staff, I think even some of the team and certainly the tradition of Nebraska. We did not play the way we should play, and it's our job to fix it. I'm going to. I'm going to fix it."

The good news was that Beck said he felt his players responded to his critique, and mostly every one of them seemed determined to correct the problems that held them back against the Mocs.

"I really think the majority of our players felt that way," Beck said. "Again, I'm not a statistics guy. I don't want pats on the back. I want our kids to play well, win or lose. If we go out there and lay it on the line and play with good technique and good fundamentals, then what happens, happens. That's what I'm more concerned about. I don't care about touchdowns, points yards - none of that stuff matters."

Senior wide receiver Brandon Kinnie echoed Beck's sentiment, saying none of the Huskers' offensive players walked off the field Saturday feeling as if they had played their best football.

"We won, but it just didn't feel like a great win," Kinnie said. "We know that we have a whole lot more work to do. All of the offensive guys knew that. It was like we came off the field and were like, 'Yeah, we beat Tennessee-Chattanooga.' We know we have a lot of work to do and a lot of mistakes were made."

For many, Beck's comments Monday will be viewed as a refreshing change from his predecessor, who often times would attempt to make things not seem as bad as they might have actually been.

That's definitely not Beck. If something needs to be addressed, he seems to have no issue with confronting the problem head on.

"That's where I'm from," Beck said. "You don't sugarcoat it. It is what it is. I'm not going to tell them they're better than they are, but I'm still going to love them and hug them and let them know that I appreciate them when they do good, and we tell them that. We didn't do good, not to our standards."

[Red_Alert]

Carl is running the D himself this year. Bo is spending more time with the offense.

Soon Taylor Martinez will be getting suspended for games by the Big 10 Commissioner for hitting defenders too hard

 

[chucksker]

LOL!!!!

I doubt we see it in this weeks match up, but I really hope we see more of Turner and Enunwa getting the ball, oh and Rx too Chuck. It will be just as fun to watch our offense as it is to watch our defense, some day.

 

[Exorbitant]

Maybe there is some hope for our offense after all! Seriously though, I was expecting a better performance last Saturday, and I'm glad to see that the coaches were too. I think we'll see better performances in the upcoming weeks, there will be no choice.
