OTHER GAMES

UCLA RB Charbonnet looks like a Heisman candidate today against a pathetic tackling Rainbow defense. Over 100 yards and the 2nd quarter just started.

If you’re watching the Illinois-Nebraska game, don’t bother switching over when it’s done. You’ll see tackling that would make Manny Diaz weep.

The Huskers special teams sure could use some work.

First the botched punt return, now the missed extra point.

And now another missed extra point. 8 point deficit late in the fourth quarter, instead of 7. That might end up biting them.

I'm glued to this game trying to figure out which Nebraska offensive coach is Greg Davis in disguise. Horrible play calling.

Hat tip to Sitkowski, U of I’s backup QB, who came in after an early injury to the starter, and more than adequately drove the bus.

I’ll also note that he’s a “Kowski” (see my avatar). We’ve also got a good one of those.
:bevo::bevo::bevo:

The Bielema era at U of I is off to a winning start. One of his (on field) trademarks is to recruit and develop a monstrous, fearsome OL. We’ll see how he does.
 
Chop,

Where are your manners? Have you learned nothing on HornFans? I would be really pissed if I wasn't so amazed. One of the first rules of reporting on other games on TV is to warn other posters that that goofy *** woman is doing the broadcast. Going to have to go look for a new laptop after I tuned into UCLA and heard her. Half a can of Dr Pepper got sprayed on my laptop and keyboard.
 
UCLA’s QB really isn’t that good. It’s their running back waltzing right through Da Bows’ weak a$$ arm tackling that has the Bruins up 31-3 late second quarter. Just in case anyone wondered—this year’s Hawaii team can’t tackle. Even the laid back Island fanbase has got to be pissed off about this pathetic defensive effort.

UCLA will look a lot different going against the LSU defense.

Well, I did say don’t bother switching over after the Nebraska-Illinois game was done…
:beertoast:
 
I give a new staff a lot of slack early on, but…

Kwiatkowski better f@&$ing have our defense tackling well from the first whistle on!!!!!!!!!

And I bet he will.

Nebraska is a hot sloppy mess
Why would any top recruit take a call from Frost's staff?

Yeah, watched the game. Illinois isn’t very good but they handled the children of the corn pretty well today. NU hasn’t been consistent or even very good since they left the B12.

They are tearing down aloha stadium this year and putting up a smaller but more flexible stadium for multiple events. I think they expanded a stadium near campus with temp seating.
 
Hey, any other time most of us would not have watched IL vs. NU... I honestly would not have watched 3/4 of this game.

I suspect we are ALL so hungry for NORMAL college football again.

That is just WRONG! How dare perfectly fine DP get wasted like that...

At least no scotch was harmed...
 
Matt Campbell may have a number of offers to consider if this year goes well for ISU. One of them might be from Nebraska. That’s who I’d target if I was Nebraska and with big $$$$$. Frost is just about done.

I am not sure "big $$$$$" would be enough for any established coach to go to NU at as long as talent and recruiting to Lincoln seem to be no-go zones.
