Second-half thread for NU-Nebraska

[lou v]

Unlike many, I don't think Aidan has been that bad. His biggest problem is that he's been consistently late on throws -- he's just got to trust his reads and rip it. He looked a little better toward the end of the half. I think Fitz is going to ride him home.

They are killing themselves on first and second down, getting behind the chains. NU is 4-10 on third downs. Everytime it was less than double-digits, they converted. Unfortunately, they've had more than 10 yards to go six times.

And hey, NU got a big kick return from Lees!

Fine... I guess this is the official thread. I tried to make the magic thread, but I'll take it down. Don't blame me if the offense doesn't improve.

 

[AtlantaCat]

A touchback is a good start!

 

[Alaskawildkat]

[AstroCat]

Dang, I was still posting on the first half thread. Finally noticed that.

 

[iskaboo]

I don’t know what Anderson told the OL at halftime, but I hope he remembers it.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Best series of the day.

 

[cat inkansas]

Nice break on the PI call as well.

That is why you have to go downfield occasionally.

 

[TejasCat]

Wow great drive, great push by OL, Aidan looks solid.

Let’s go D get a turnover!

 

[AstroCat]

I like that we called the old throw the ball short and let the defender run into the receiver play.

 

[TejasCat]

Wow! Nice drive!! All on the ground.

Love the throw to the EZ, always a chance for pass int

 

[DkeCat]

Someone lit a fire under our OL. They're actually making holes!!

actually can’t attribute that to OL - more matchup/formation and (gasp) doing their jobs.

also nice running by drake. Wish he could catch and block better, but already a hell of a runner.

 

[DkeCat]

I like that we called the old throw the ball short and let the defender run into the receiver play.

Wish that was on purpose

 

[BFDCat]

Gotta get to Martinez faster

 

[DaCat]

That wind must be really strong. Our kickoffs are in the end zone.

 

[cat inkansas]

Best series of the day.

Of the year.
