Shocking! How do you do that?

[BigRedOhio]

Still room for improvement on offense for sure.

Explain. Was the call to the wide open receiver who simply dropped the ball a bad call? How about the other drops?

I don’t buy into the argument that simply because the offense struggles, that the OC called a bad game. I would have liked to see more running midway through the 4th quarter. We were knocking Iowa off the line and moving the ball well.

But on to the bowl game.

Agree Neyor has to catch that ball, but a game never comes down to one play. TE reverses come to mind.

 

[BigRedOhio]

He should really stop telling Neyor to drop those passes that hit him in the hands when he's all alone. Good grief, Holgorsen. Get it together.

Or running TE reverses

 

[BigRedOhio]

Yeah, it totally sucks that we finally made a bowl. We should decline and just stay home.

And gave a game away to our rival… zero points in the 2nd half… zero

 

[BigRedOhio]

Bullock tried really hard all year, but he had quite a few mistakes. We should have a upgrade there next year.

His missed tackle on the long TD was really really ugly

10 in the first half. How many did Iowa have at the half, again? Sounds like we were ahead.

Shavers is listed as his back up and so far this year I have seen a lot of good things from Shavers!! And he was a true Freshman

Not at the end when it matters. Being ahead at halftime guarantees nothing

Shavers has ability, but needs some work on understanding winning football. He’s a frosh so hopefully that improves.

Bad snap on our fg was the difference

It’s amazing isn’t it? You gotta be kidding me.

Wide receivers drop balls all the time, at all levels of the game. All the more reason to keep running it, and to use your best RB, when it's working.

 

[CO Husker]

Luckily, the win wasn’t needed for a bowl. It would’ve been nice.

I’m sure no recruits were watching…so no harm, no foul, eh?

 

[ramsker]

I blame Holgorsen and Raiola for the snap to a different zip code, the botched punt return and the 70 yard TD with 6 missed tackles.

It makes a ton of sense to throw in that situation. Especially because it was a tight game and really cold.

I mentioned it in the game thread, but offensive coordinators (not just at Nebraska) get very skittish when a run doesn't go for a big gain, but they never lose faith in the passing game, even after losses, sacks, incompletions, or interceptions.

It's an interesting phenomenon.

Special teams were awful again
