GDT-Missouri @ Nebraska

Is Helu a Heisman candidate?

[Radbird]

He played like one today.

Oh well, on to the WS.

We could not have possibly played a worse first quarter. We outplayed them the rest of the game but not by enough. At least we made it respectable but I feel like we should have made this a close game.

True. But OTOH, you have to tip your cap to the Huskers. They just flat outplayed Mizzou. Their lines manhandled Mizzou's lines, and their DB's were amazing.

Basically, the Huskers' game this week was on par with Mizzou's last week.

I wouldn't say mizzou outplayed them at any point today. Nebraska dominated both lines all game long including the 2nd half. When you're up 17, and your qb is out, there's no need to try to score. Just run run run. And they did, effectively. Helus peformance shouldn't elevate him into heisman consideration. A drunk sorority girl could have rushed for more than a hundred yards on mizzou today

No doubt they deserve it. Our receivers could not get any separation and caused Gabbert put his head down too quickly. The defense played well for the most part except for terrible discipline on a few plays and those were the difference. We didn't deserve to win but it still kind of feels like an opportunity lost.

We need to take care of business and pray Nebraska somehow slips up against either Iowa State or aTm.

Coaches didn't do a verygood job either

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Well that sucked a lot.

Both lines underachieved. The O-Line was still serviceable but Gabbert got freaked out too easily. The wideouts refused to help bail either of them out. The coaches looked like they were almost trying to push the wrong buttons.

The linebackers and safeties got out of position too often and it led to those huge gainers. Basically the entire defense was worthless against the run.

Nebraska's secondary was better than I thought. So was their O-Line.

Nebraska's secondary should've gotten flagged about a half dozen times. And if the refs saw Crick rip Gabbert down by the face we might've scored on the goal line stand. Also, Nebraska's D is freaking dirty with the helmet to helmet, and it reflects on their neanderthal coaches.


Bright side: if Martinez can't play for any length of time, Nebraska is an extremely beatable team. It only takes one screw up from them to put us back in the driver's seat for the North. Games get easier each week, need to take out the frustrations in Lubbock.

[AWvsCBsteeeerike3]

Yes. Nebraska is a dirty team. Dog dick dirty. The hit from osbourne to gabbert shows it more than any other one. Clean hit, unblocked, and he puts his helmet right on gabbert. Easily could have knocked him out with a shoulder to midsection shot.

[Leroy]

I think walking away saying the refs sucked and the opponent was dirty would feel a lot better than having my team win.
