Our offense doesn’t kill enough time with their good or bad drives....

The amount of time Martinez has in the pocket is very concerning
4 turnovers isn’t enough?!

I’d say 3 more at the rate Nebraska is able to score.

Have we blitzed even once this game?

To be clear, the D doesn't look that good. Not likely to keep getting TOs
They're just jamming the ball down our throats now.

Better question is how would we feel losing this one after forcing 4 turnovers? 2 (3?) of them being in our territory.

A(nother) damning indictment of Lovie’s D. I think we have the horses to make adjust to at least make it look difficult for Neb.
How many false start calls are they going to continue to miss? Driving me nuts.
Also, Lovie, it’s called a blitz. Use it!

I like Rod Smith's scheme, and I think Lovie's successor should be a guy who will implement a similar offense since it fits the offensive personnel pretty well. However, I think everyone will agree that his play-calling has been abhorrent these last two games.
That criticism is fair but we need to call it both ways. Defensively, we’ve also been in position to make a ton of plays that didn’t get made. We’ve missed tackle left and right today. That has nothing to do with defensive strategy.
I think the fact that we score quickly(not complaining that we are scoring) and 3 and outs have this defense Tired
Thanks ROD

We’re going to lose this game by 14 aren’t we
If you told me this morning that we’d be tied with Nebraska early in the 4th, I’d be thrilled.
Having lived it right now... I am not thrilled.
