Wow!

K-State comes back to beat OU after losing its opener to Ark State. Iowa State beats TCU after losing its opener. Texas is getting beat by Tech, and it looks like the Pirate's MSU squad is going to beat the defending champion.

Before the mods move this thread because it's a NON-Husker Football thread, I'm putting this baby here because this crazy season just might get even crazier once the Big Ten starts and defending B1G Champ opens the season at home against Nebraska.

It is Husker related - for the first 2-3 games of Big 10 play it will be impossible to predict how each team will play due to the prep work offseason and screwy practice schedule. Could see some crazy games - like OSU losing at home......maybe......

My gut is telling me that this pandemic season might signal a turnaround for a lot of programs this fall -- including the Huskers.

Regarding the LSU game, call me naughty but I did enjoy watching the Pirate's Air Strike offense punk Bo Pelini's LSU defense.

I was laughing with glee because we watched Leach punk Pelini repeatedly in the Big 12. The Air Raid offense is actually pretty simple to learn (small playbook with alot of reads at the LOS) - might be an unfair advantage for the first few games for Miss State.

For Bo's sake, I sure hope there isn't a secret mic that is hot in the locker room during post game meetings....

Near the end of the game, the TV color man made a comment that he was surprised that Pelini didn't make any halftime adjustments to LSU's man-to-man coverage after the MSU QB torched his secondary in the first half.

I thought to myself, Nebraska fans weren't surprised at all. :)

Outside of teams in whatever conference he is in, Leach has to be the most popular coach in the country every year.

Agree, it’s Husker related because of Pellini’s debut as defensive coordinator at LSU. MSU QB torches Pelini for over 600 yds. Maybe LSU should retain Bob Diaco as a consultant.

Bo's defense usually produces one of two outcomes. It either completely stifles the opposing attack, or it gives up record-setting total-yard figures. There's not much in-between. The lack of halftime adjustments is another familiar hallmark.

I would think he has the athletes at LSU to play man-to-man defense against many teams, but not against the Pirate's system. Argh!
 
LSU had a combo of issues - tackling being one problem on some of the longer plays. The Air Raid does alot of clear outs with crossing routes underneath and that is what Leach just killed them with. Bo being stubborn is nothing new. If the players just executed it would work is 100% Bo to T. Forget adjustments - just do what I tell you...........I bet Coach O wanted to throttle him at about 500 yards passing.

Speaking of which...now that the B1G is playing, shouldn't the teams be included back into the polls?
