Husker/Hawkeye Game Thread

I would run the qb draw again, better spy on Martinass

The best thing about TM is that he's a big wuss. He'll shy away from every contact possible. Those runs up the middle make him nervous....just watch his body language.

DEE playing pretty good, mostly crisp tackling, good hits by miller and bernstein. If KOK cant see that running wide is bad against their speed he is nuts, run coker straight at them, with rogers getting big blocks on lbrs, throw easy pass routes.

both teams still kind of feeling out how the other is playing, what their plan is.

i think the scoring will open up in the second half, but i see the punting continuing this quarter. unless we can complete a pass downfield...

 

[Bigtenchamp]

Uhhh. Yes. Not bring much at poa slow to hole today.

I agree - he has had one good run today that run on first down where he bounced it then ran the guy over...

all his other runs have been huge holes and looks like HS running back running through them...

Reall have never been sold as of yet - I need to see some explosion and vision.

JVB 1-6 in the 1st....

 

[cibula11]

What's your point? We are running vs a 7 man front. We have a numbers advantage. He needs to take advantage of opportunities when the are presented for bigger plays. We are winning up front. We need more production.

I get that. but you said Coker is not running well.....I disagree.

 

[woodyk1]

Or not? Wait! Only positive thoughts for the hawks!

Only positive thoughts, Freak. Just keeping an open mind.

 

[dekhawks]

I can dream....

If Martinez has lasted this long he should last this game as well.

 

[1hawkeye1]

not impressed with huskers cheerleaders.

 

[twinlaker]

Holding and we had them stopped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[big10fan]

solid tackling so far on D, so that's a huge plus

 

[Skers4life]

If Martinez has lasted this long he should last this game as well.

The way he "folds" into tackles probably helps his health status...

 

[NotASandwich]

Who was hurt during that last punt return? Was that prayter? The announcers didn't seem to care whatsoever.

 

[TChawk]

Wow another WIDE open WR for NE....

 

[burky247]

Even Martinez can complete passes if you don't pressure him.

 

[twinlaker]

Eddy said holding call was bogus!

 

[burky247]

We're too slow.

 

[cibula11]

Even Martinez can complete passes if you don't pressure him.

We'll play him like we did DR...Keep him in the pocket....they're not looking for sacks....just containment.

 

[spliff45]

haven't stopped that sweep yet

 

[twinlaker]

Defense on their heels abit
