Nebraska vs Colorado Game Thread (9/8/18)
- Thread starter Red Reign
- Start date
Amateur
Had to watch on DVR last night after youth soccer spectating...
Biggest positives:
- Pass Protection
- Pass Rush
Games are won in the trenches, these areas were horrible last year and very good yesterday.
Biggest concerns:
- Penalties (first game issue hopefully?)
- Turnovers (first game issue?)
- LB speed, Colorado identified that swing passes with LBs in coverage would work
- Freshman QB decisions...
- Running shotgun on 4th and short...my biggest pet peeve in football.

I think Nebraskas biggest problems, penalties and turnovers, are fixable. If martinez is healthy, I'm inspired and it will be a fun season. If martinez is out for a while or the entire season, that really sets Nebraska back. Like a lot. It's important for martinez to get a lot of experience for a run next year.
I don't want to lose eligibility.
If Martinez is out for a while, just make sure he doesn't play in more than four games...
Hate the loss but loved the attitude of the players and staff.
Go Big Red.
Go Big Red.
As i said last night: Thanks, Gebbia!!
Gebbia is a loser!
MEH!
He's gone. Let it go.
No, he is not. He made a decision that you don’t agree with. Your comment says more about yourself than Gibbia’s decision.

Its all about turnovers. Here is a study of college football from 2009-2012 showing the ratio of turnovers to winning. Yes we could have caught the third down pass, TD pass or managed the clock better but the stats say that with minus TWO on turnovers we were staring a less than 10% chance of winning in the face.
That's how good this team is, we were that close to winning despite THREE turnovers. So, let's get to next Saturday and watch for that max improvement of 1st to 2nd game (%$#*&%# lightening) that we will see with Troy instead of CU.

You ought to listen to some of you cry babies. You have a love affair with Scott Frost now in the first game you don’t like the way he managed the clock so you want to dis him. Yes we lost we made mistakes and shot ourselves in the foot but there was a lot to be positive about. Some are ready to throw in the towel on the season because Martinez is hurt even though we have got the final word on the extent of his injury. I am willing to look at the positives and hope we build on those.

That's explains a lot. We've been on the wrong side of turnover margin for most of the last 20 years. I hope that changes soon.
