Two Deeps & Game Notes for Iowa at Nebraska

[kceasthawk]

D.J. Johnson the backup instead of Brents this week? Interesting. I hope Brents didn't aggravate his injury again.

Nice to have the depth. DJ has been coming on and started two games when Hankins was out, and played pretty well after a rough first quarter.

They better bring someone elses defense then. You do realize that Iowa has held EVERY team but one to their lowest scoring output of the year right? Where will that leave the cornholers?

I'm sure they keep that streak given the weather for Friday is supposed to be cold rain and windy. Wandale might not play which hurts us, but we were able to move the ball on Iowa last year fairly well. I think we both have less yards than last year's game and it's a close one again.

Who is this we? Do you have a mouse in your pocket?

Massey has Nebraska as the 5th best 5-6 team in the country, behind TCU, MSU, MissSU, and UNC.

Underachieved or were just overrated by the media preseason?

You were overrated as was your QB. But to say you haven’t underachieved too is ridiculous especially with your recruiting classes the last 5 years.

The Huskers have overacheived. They are a 4-win program, so 5 wins is really shooting for the stars.

Jees, there's something to hang your hat on. Sounds like kissing your sister.....

As READY as he had them when gameday was in town for OSU? Or as READY as he had them during their Blackshirts tribute game against Indiana? Maybe you mean he’ll have them as READY as they were when the whole state of Nebraska made the trip over to Boulder to get revenge against their old rivals for the loss in 2018? I bet you’re talking about how he had them READY to take 1-10 South Alabama and 2-9 Northwestern down to the wire. Those were some pretty impressive wins. I’ll give you that. ESPN Instant Classics.

I have no idea why some Hawk fans act like Scott Frost is a master motivator or the next Vince Lombardi. I really don’t.

Exactly.

 

[Hans81]

Yeah. Iowa is the better team and should win. Anyone that has watched NU play this year knows they have underachieved.

You mean "over-achieved".

 

[Hans81]

Great call on the hair. Maybe I can create an Iowa SAB?

You're a copy cat. How about just taking the "w" out of Iowa...oh wait, Northwestern already did that. Or, some silly little acronym making fun of "Iowa"...whoops already been done too. Guess you Nebraska dolts don't have an original thought.

 

[Hans81]

There are many reasons, but Martinez has regressed, we lost some go to play makers in Ozigbo and Morgan. Haven't been able to replicate their success until recently. Also very young and have totally flipped the roster. Still weeding out some of the left over bad eggs from Riley.

Like Mo Washington? Whoops guess Frosty has also brought in a few "bad eggs"

 

[Hans81]

There is some of that involved. Our OLB/Special Team coach is bad, until lately our OL has looked bad. As much as fans bitch about Chinander, if you actually go watch the games over, the players are in position, but are just either not making plays or just getting out athleted. Our LB group kills our defense. Secondary is serviceable and D-Line is decent against the run and has some bigger bodies, but the LB group is just bad.

Gorilla in the room...how about suspect head coaching?

Cool story stud! Fell better?

Nope I didn't.. Valiant effort yet again.

 

[Capital1Hawk]

If Brian has half a brain, he will go five wide with Tracy, ISM, Nico, Martin, and Goodson, LaPorta or Smith to get linebackers in coverage to isolate them for mismatches since they are having trouble running the ball and scoring touchdowns. And considering Nebraska is terrible in coverage with their linebackers.

We can only dream!

 

[twindman]

But they part it on the opposite side......

Yes, I "feel" better, but didn't "fell" better...that's what your huskers are going to do Fri. BTW, that's Mr. Stud to you

This is just too easy. Your Nebby "edumication" is showing through.
