Nebraska vs Ohio State (9/28/19)

[RogelioVB]

Wife was watching some post game (if you can call it a game) stuff and she said it didn't look like Fields had even broken a sweat. So sad for everyone the Huskers couldn't compete, let alone make it an interesting evening.

Agree.When the game is out of hand, why not give Vedral some game snaps.AM was not having a good game,so give the next guy some experience.GBR.

The only reason I can think of is you are giving your QB mental and physical reps.

 

[solesrfr]

Exactly. Fox is right. You are right.

I'll say it again ... it's a turnover whether you get sacked or throw an INT.

If you get sacked there's a 0% chance of a TD. If you throw it into the end zone, there's at least a small chance it gets caught. For that matter, when you're down 48-7, who in the hell cares if it's intercepted or even run back for a score (which is a very, very small chance of a 108 yard pick 6 happening)? There is nothing to lose by throwing that ball. Taking the sack is giving up.

Exactly!

You will get no argument from me. If he doesn’t start showing why he’s clearly number one, he might see some hungry recruits coming at him for his job; if not this season, certainly during the spring. If I’m Mccaffrey, I’m working my butt off in the off season.

If McCaffrey doesn’t get in 4 games this year, with the way AM is playing I’d have to question why he would stick around.

They could have beat us 100-0

 

[solesrfr]

If you say so

A pick 6 vs a sack gotcha

Sack instead of a possible TD in a a game that is over. If you say so, gotcha.

The game was over, do you really think a bad result for taking a chance would matter. You prefer stumbling backwards tripping on his own feet like a dork is that much better in a 48-7 blow out? Your opinion is what makes no sense.



C

On a 4th down play, I'd prefer my QB to throw it in the endzone to someone. Maybe there will be a penalty. The only worse thing that can happen is a pick6. Otherwise, you got to take a chance rather than doing what AM did there. Anyone who thinks otherwise is clueless in my opinion.

 

[Red Reign]

you 100 out of 100 times throw that ball into the end zone.

Okay its not a like hail Mary to win a game but I will grant you your point even if it does get pick 6'd for 105 yards

We agree a sack is better than a possible pick 6 for a TD

That is certainly an issue that Frost should be managing.

Is 55-7 that much worse than 48-7? No it is not, take the shot! No fear of failure right.

It's not just AM. It's the O line

If he had thrown the Pick 6 folks in this thread would have melted down further

 

[David3464]

They could have beat us 100-0

No, they couldn't have. The most they could have scored on us is 91 probably with their starters in game.

 

[solesrfr]

Not in that situation it is not, the game was all but over. What an odd stance you are taking.
