Bye Week Chatter

Ugh, I don't like the way PSU took over the game today with their smashmouth running game. Terrible matchup for the Blackshirts in Happy Valley. Hopefully it's our turn against Iowa this year. We're dew.
 
8.5 dog. Huskers will have to pull out all the stops at PSU.
Did any of you hear Ferentz's remarks after the USC loss? Rumblin stumblin bumblin get the guy a rocking chair!
 
We shouldn't feel much pressure in this game other than a chance to show if we are a good team. PSU on the other hand will have tons of pressure given their need to get bowl eligible. I think that favors Nebraska. PSU's QB is not particularly mobile - so while they will try to just run over us we can go with more run blitzes to shut them down and lean on our secondary to hold up. Offensively - if we can get over 24 points I think we have a very good chance to win.
 
Fumble, don't you remember when you were 18 - 22 years old and would party until 3:00 AM during finals week. And you answered the bell. Husker players can handle this.
You’re right Linving. At 20, there was a summer where I’d regularly roll in at 2-3 AM and get up at 5:30 AM to carpool to work at Farmland Foods in Crete. God, I was an idiot!

Butler's D is hard to watch because most offenses keep converting 3rd downs against it - via the run game or lack of pass rush. So we get these long drives that keep the offense off the field. I will say not giving up big plays is how NFL defenses operate and Butler clearly follows that belief. When we get teams in 3rd and long - we typically do a pretty good job unless the QB can run.......

The stats show we do some things well......but the eye test is a little hard on the ticker....lol
