Nebraska vs Idaho

Overall i think the defense played pretty well, they gave up a TD when Idaho got the ball at the 12 yard line and another late in the game when we had a bunch of backups getting some game time experience.  The offense on the other hand still had some problems.  We had some yards against the Vandals, but continued mistakes causing turnovers and 10 penalties for 123 yards would have doomed us against a top ranked team.  The offense was careless with the ball and had far too many penalties, which means they were undisciplined.  Hopefully Coach Watson can work out some of these issues this week before heading to Washington.  At the same time Idaho is coming off an Eight win season including a bowl win and had the majority of their team back.  Nice to see Mike McNeil get some catches this week.  Kinnie didn't have as good a game last week and Lavonte David was MIA this week after being a "madman" last week and in on 85% of the plays.
 
Thoughts?

  • Guess Nebraska must be pretty good - Idaho bounce back this week.

    Idaho routs UNLV 30-7

    MOSCOW, Idaho (AP) Idaho scored on its first three drives and rolled to an easy 30-7 victory over UNLV Saturday night.

    The Vandals (2-1) led 24-0 at the half behind quarterback Nate Enderle and Daniel Hardy, who combined for a 17-yard touchdown and set up another score with a 54-yard play. The Idaho defense did the rest, sacking Rebels quarterbacks six times and picking off a pass on the night.
  • The good...offensively our line is much improved and we are playing more physical at all positions. Defensive secondary looked very good. Defense did a good job of taking the ball away. Tmart is explosive, elusive, and a play maker. Roy and Rex are STRONG and run downhill everytime they touch the ball. Niles Paul remains a big play threat this year. Mike McNeill was involved this week, and we need him to make our offense potent this season. Ricky Tenarse is showing what he is capable of now that he is healthy.

    The bad...sloppy play on both sides of the ball. Many mistakes...penalties, missed blocks, missed tackles, turnovers, and blown coverage. Niles Paul makes big plays, but does not play at a high level consistently. Tmart made some mistakes due to inexperience.

    Summary...not sure I saw the level of improvement from game 1 to game 2 that was expected. Overall we have a good football team on both sides of the ball that will continue to improve and play together. This season compared to last season our defense may make mistakes and give up points, but our offense will score points and will give us the opportunity to win every game.

    Have to give my friend Alex credit for predicting Tmart as our next Heisman trophy winner from Nebraska.

    Ready or not Washington is next week and we will come out with a "W".

    Go Big RED!!!
  • Every NU bar in Chicago missed the whole 1st half because Direct TV was having "technical difficulties." Sounds like the defense really picked it up a notch. The one issue I have is that the offense has 2 very good RBs in Helu and Burkhead. No offense to DR#27, but we don't need a 3 back rotation. I hate fumbles! Saw that AF beat up on BYU today who lost to Washington. I think we'll be fine next week. I was worried about Oklahoma State but they are losing to Troy right now and Washington St is losing to some FCS school. Bring on Washington!
