yeah hooooly poo poo, our O-line is garbage and the kicking game was a gently caress story. The team looked a lot better coached and seemed to have more poise though. I think if we still had Pelini, once we went down 10 pts, it would've just snowballed into an embarrassing blow out . BYU is a good team, sucks they lost Hill but that backup qb had some serious balls of steel. Heart breaking losses suck :smith:

edit: this was bullshit though
http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/eye-on-college-football/25291793/nebraska-player-injured-after-questionable-hit-by-byu-player

I pretty much agree on all points. Especially thinking that if we still had Pelini it would have been a total blow out in the second half. O line needs to be better, d line thankfully improved in the game but maybe that was just because folsom was playing with a fractured foot by that time. Secondary really needs to step up. However I really liked the offense call and plays in the 1st and 3rd quarters. If you just take just those two Nebraska looked almost awesome. Also going to say byu can suck a dick for hitting Sutton and foltz and the refs can suck one to for whatever the gently caress was going on with that penalty during byu's second touchdown.

I fully expect to see that video of the Ref getting cleaned out at my next Officials Association Meeting. Good that the kids were immediately ejected. I hope they never play football again.

Alabama will struggle with anyone that can effectively load the box (this will still be hard to do those RBs are a load), but the QBs are going to limit how good those WRs can be. I'd agree with whoever said Coker was just a bit slow on his short routes releases causing defenders time to blow up those short screens that Cooper was deadly with last season. I fell asleep by time their backup was in.

BYU, in true Mormon/christian fashion, had to sacrifice their annoited savior to receive glory in the midwest. Sorry Huskers.

Anyone that thinks UVA will give ND a game is just crazy. That's a bad football team again. Sorry Texas but you started 2 True Freshman on the Oline offense prb wasn't going to improve. Team just looked really young and thin on offense, defense everywhere really. They got some good players but they need time, good luck not getting run out before you can fix it Charlie.

Bobby Petrino needs to learn how timeouts and clock stoppage rules work because he blew the end of that game so badly.

I mean VT lost to JMU then won 11 in a row and the ACC to boot. Everyone here has watched enough football to know that inevitably one of the teams who looks super lovely in week 1 with a bad loss just had an off week and wins 8-10+ games anyway.

hackenberg never looked that good from what ive seen and i dont know why draft analysts were jerking off over him as much as they were

similarly, cook is an adequate qb, but i dont get the heisman talk. he puts up good stats, but watching games shows that he has some accuracy issues and refuses to loving throw the ball away when he should (pick almost 6 during baylor is agood example)

Hackenberg picked PSU in large part because of Bill O'Brien. He goes there, gets coaching from a great QB coach and shocker, a kid with those tools and that coaching looks amazing even as a freshman. Then O'Brien leaves, the whole dynamic shifts with the new staff(like Franklin has any idea what to do) and his OL is putrid and you get the product you see today.

He's not as good as his projected spot and that will probably level out but things have really changed for him and someone is going to take him with the idea that once they take him out of State College they can rework him into a serviceable talent. Hell, aren't the Texans like desperate for a QB anyway? Maybe if he falls enough O'Brien might snag him early on.

I actually quite like Charlie Strong and I really hope he severs himself from Shawn Watson. And I'm not trying to say that Mack would've done better this season with these players. My complaint has always been about Mack getting tar and feathered by Texas fans on his way out. Karma's a bitch. This loss and the Arkansas loss are infinitely more embarrassing than anything that lead to Mack's demise.

You talking about on this board or elsewhere? Here it was mostly Groverat (who started making GBS threads on Mack 1 year removed from a 10 win season). I personally thought Mack was gonna get 1 more year to turn things around and that he deserved that but by the time he left I also wasn't too bent out of shape about it. He had let the program decline and it was obvious that they could no longer develop the talent they were getting and were starting to lose talent to A+M / LSU etc which wasn't going to stand with the boosters.

I still think Strong can get it together, need to see more of what this team can actually do this season though. They were never in the ND game for a second and didn't really ever get into a rhythm on either side of the ball. If they aren't improving through the course of this season then it's going to look really really bad for Strong and he'll be in the hot seat starting year 3.

Is this Heaven?
Iowa looked pretty good! Against a I-AA team but still, progress! And Illinois State has some talent. Roberson was a decent Big Ten QB (and specifically the type of QB who has given us fits in the past) and their RB ran for 2,300 yards and won the Payton Award last year. They also have DI transfers all over the place. They'd probably be like a MAC contender or something. We really outclassed them on the lines but it was still nice to see us shut those two down so effectively. I figured Roberson would scramble all over us, but we did a really good job of contain in the zone read game. They basically couldn't move the ball at all until we were up 31-0 and put in a bunch of backups, at which point they scored two meaningless TDs to make the final score seem less lopsided than the game actually was.

Defensively Drew Ott is going to have a very good year I think (I can count on one hand the number of times he was actually effectively blocked) and Jaleel Johnson is a effective Carl Davis replacement. Not sure about the front seven aside from those two, but it seems less of a disaster than the linebackers last year were, and I feel really good about the DBs. Both corners are very sound in both coverage and in run support. They mostly stayed away from Des King (which I expect to be a theme), but Greg Mabin more than held his own and had a couple huge hits in run support. He might be the best tackler on the team, which is often a trait of good Iowa corners.

Offense looked a lot better. Having a real running back instead of a fullback playing pretend is very nice. They were hitting holes and getting to the edge in a way that Weisman flat out couldn't. Daniels looks like a good power back with reasonable quickness, and I love Canzeri as a change of pace/third down back. He had some excellent plays in the passing game where they let him get out in space. I'm still concerned about the offensive line (there were several plays that would be losses against a real team that turned into gains because our RB broke a tackle or got a corner on an overmatched defender), but it wasn't quite as much of a disaster as I though it might be based on the open practice reports. Maybe they'll be serviceable and Drew Ott is just really loving good, who knows.

Passing game didn't really do a ton outside of the screens to Canzeri but it still looks better. That short stuff works better with a QB who can get the ball to the receiver with some zip. I thought Beathard looked a little shakier down field after the first couple drives, but they didn't really try it much either. He wasn't as good as his stats made him look but he was fine for a guy making his second start ever. I like what he brings as a runner and he has a good arm. We need to do a better job taking advantage of Tevaun Smtih. He's a legit talent who could have a McNutt-like season and they've never given him enough opportunities.

Anyway, don't want to take too much from winning a game against a I-AA team, but actually dominating them was a nice change of pace from recent early season games. There's a lot of good stuff to build on there We could well go out and blow it against ISU next week but for now I'm feeling slightly better about the season.

e: Oh also, great moments in sarcastic Iowa crowds: A standing ovation for a fake field goal that didn't even work, just because everyone was psyched that we'd even be aggressive enough to try something like that.
