This is Nebraska all over again.  It's maddening at we how we don't improve and are completely unable to address our problems.

I am overall pretty happy with the defense this game.  He has dialed up the pressure and tighter coverage.  Much better plan and keeping our poor offense in the game.

I'm starting to think DB should pull the plug on Hoke. I just don't think he's a good coach. I know DB will give him plenty of time but this will just end up hurting our programs. All this losing will cause top recruit not to play here and will probably cause some of our top players to transfer. If offered, Miles would be our coach.

I have something positive to say about the offense.  I better make it fast.  I like the playcalling this drive.  A missed pass by Gardner, but I liked the calls.  If we executed it we would still be driving.

So you like the obvious run when Williams is in that NW adjusted to by putting 9 in the box resulting in 0 yards?

I will agree the two throws were bad execution but the 3rd down one he had 2 open receivers but got so scared of being sacked he chucks it to funchess for 1 yard..

he can no longer quarterback this team. We will lose out the rest of the way! Hoke & fat Al will not bench him cuz they love their seniors!

People don't want to hear it, but a lot of our problems ARE execution-related.  This is two straight possessions where we've had a pretty nice playcall on 2nd and 10 to get Gallon open, and neither has been completed.  Gallon dropped the first and Gardner overthrew the second.  

Guys have to step up.  Our playbook is going to be limited by our inability to handle the inside blitz, so we can't keep wasting these opportunities.

I hate the media. The media single handily made Devin out to be this unreal pocket passing QB with athleticism.

In reality he has poor footwork, poor decision making, and should still be running a spread not this offense
