1st half we ran an uptempo Offense and were hiking the ball with approximately 15 seconds on the play clock and keeping USC on their toes. 2nd half we spent more time playing with ourselves and had delay of game penalties and barely got the ball off and USC smoked us. ****** Shawn.......er I mean Tim Beck?! Changes at half are a good thing, but not when what we were doing was not only working, but absolutely wearing on USC. :confused:
1 penalty in the first half. 20 penalties in the 2nd? With 4 coming from 1 dang drive?! What. The. Heck. Happend? Halftime mental trauma?
Dennard. I think Jeffery was the instigator in the situation, and if Dennard wouldn't have thrown a punch, Jeffery would've been the sole ejection. What the heck got into Dennard?! You were winning the battle with Jeffery!
O-line. Yoshi. I really like Yoshi, but where the heck was his head? I think I counted 5 false starts by him today (correct me if I'm wrong). No focus whatsoever. How many times was our ball carrier running into our O-linemen in the backfield, when they weren't even blocking anyone?!:banghead:
As usual, Burkhead was money. :bow: Why did we stop giving the ball to him?
Martinez. Wow. Tale of two halves. Either he is on or he is WAY OFF. I don't think we can justify leaving him in the game as our QB anymore. He costs us more than he helps. He hasn't had any breakout runs since last year, so where is his upside? I understand there may be a change in philosophy with Martinez play this year vs what Watson had him doing last year, but damn. This kid is NOT a QB. Decision making is par, throwing is under par, and his running ability has decreased significantly over the season. And what the heck is up with falling down/sliding 5 yards away from anyone? Oh, and why does he run standing straight up? :confused:
All in all, I think the D played about how I expected them to play. Not playing lights out and not giving up the big plays (other than the fluke hail mary at the end of the half). Bo's "bend but not break" philosophy is not my idea of defense, but if our Offense could've produced in the second half it would've been sufficient. :2cents:
Lavonte David. What is there to say about him? One of the biggest stud LB's to EVER play at Nebraska. Good luck in the NFL Lavonte! I hope we can replace him.............
Gonnabe a LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG off-season.........................:cry:
