Does everybody calling for the blitz not remember our man coverage getting exposed vs EASTERN MICHIGAN last week?

Do you prefer the Swiss cheese defense we have been showing lately? Seriously, who can advocate for this crap at this point? I can’t imagine any of you supporting what we are seeing have ever coached defense.

It is fun to be competitive in a Big Ten football game.

They are blowing Illini off the line now. They are getting too tired. Offense hasn’t stepped up. Need to right now

Haven’t asked Peters to do much tonight. Gonna need him to make a play or two before it’s over

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.

He's not making adjustments for our personnel and strengths. The running game is clearly our strength and Corbin is a feature back with solid backups to spell him. We have a QB that can succeed in a pro style offense with a feature back. We have a D that needs to spend less time on the field against offenses like this that will expose them.

They are playing valiantly and they got the turnovers that we needed, but when your OC wants to be cute and tricky instead of control the game....it will all go for naught.

Ok....how about a 14 minute drive for 6, then a fumble by Nebraska on the kickoff....take a knee and call it a night. :)

Our defense is totally gassed. The offense has to sustain a drive and get us some rest. The Defense has played better than I expected but they need a break!!!

Mix your play calling up. We are just begging Neb to win this game. We can't only pass on 3rd and long.
