This was a glorified scrimmage for them ...they coulda
Uh, in a Rocky 1 the Italian Stallion actually gave a good fight. We did nothing of the sort.
In fairness first time under 30 this year but yeah turnovers etc have not helped.
Option A: Take the sack. Turnover on downs. OSU ball.
Option B: Throw it into the end zone even if no one appears open, which would result in any of the following:
1. NU player catches it for a TD
2. The ball falls incomplete. Turnover on downs
3. OSU interception for little to no gain
4. OSU interception and returns it long distance -- maybe even a score
5. Penalty. If on OSU, fresh set of downs. If on NU, OSU declines, turnover on downs.
There's so many things that can happen if you throw it into the endzone. Good, bad, or somewhere in-between.
There's only one thing that can happen when you take the sack. And that's bad. Good is not even an option. It's a turnover. It was 4th down, you choose the sack, you've turned the ball over.
And again, I couldn't give a rat's ass if OSU would have scored on a 100-109 yard INT return. The odds of that are slimmer than any of the other options -- but okay, so what if they score?! This game was over at halftime. Nebraska was just trying to have a few shiny moments toward the end. That sack prevented any possibility of a small glimmer of good. As Herbstreit was explaining -- and he's right. Even in the loss, you want to see some success in still fighting in the end. Positives for the rest of the season. Taking the sack was truly curling up in a ball and giving up.

Scott is trying to convince Lil Red not to enter the transfer portal right now
It was enough that I shut off the post game on the radio.
The way we played tonight the odds were pretty good and I suspect that was in the back of Adrian's mind as he ran for his life. That gets overlooked in the conversation that he was fun shy I have no doubt
true
Technically speaking we only scored 28 against SA, we had a pick six in that game.

A pick 6? Already playing with a lack of confidence while running for his life
You're saying the odds were "good" that heaving the ball into the end zone would result in a pick six? C'mon man.......
Okay I will grant you that
Agree,AM was a significant part in our poor showing though.QB generally gets to much credit in a win,and to much blame in a loss.Just comes with the territory.GBR.
