Well it was the first pass of the first offensive play of the game that hit our WR in the facemask, so I agree with you.
Should he have caught it? He probably should have, but why is Lee throwing a 25 yard fade/sideline pass that is double covered on the first play from scrimmage? It is a low percentage pass to begin with. If you are throwing on your fist play from scrimmage I can think of a few, lets say 10 routes I would throw to before I would throw that one. Lee was looking for Morgan way too much in that game when he wasn't really that open.

I would agree that you can argue the play call or decision making there, but don't be mad at the actual pass. Presnap read that absolutely isn't open compared to the trips down low.

Love your comments.
When you feel better I feel better.
No that is my point. It wasn't a bad pass, he should have caught it. It wasn't the right read though. Lee rally pressed in the game.
I am not nearly as down on this team as a lot seem to be. Oregon is a bad match up for Nebraska defensively. I knew that going into the game. They may be a worse match up than OSU or PSU because of what they like to do. I was disappointed in the offensive play in general. They never had any rhythm and a big part of that was Lee being off, but I was surprised how are receivers had such a hard time getting any separation.
I just need a palette cleansing 4 TD win against N. Illinois to get things rolling again.
Didn't like the play call because "EVERY PLAYER" had to be nervous as a you know what in church! Why not let our kids at least settle into the game, take a few hits and TEST their run D. Just as likely TB could have broken a 20 yd run as complete that type of pass.
I'm firmly convinced that type of play calling is ingrained with DL from his NFL days....

Well, yeah, I know he played against Arkansas State. I just meant he is still getting his sea legs under him a bit. That Oregon game would have been overwhelming to a lot of QB's. Watching your defense get shelled like that and your team falling behind seemingly every time you gave the ball back to Oregon's offense. Like I said, I think he pressed. I think 85% of starting QB's in CFB would have pressed in that situation. I think he is only going to get better and better as the season goes on. If Tre Bryant can somehow stay heathly (at least in the teams biggest games), then I think this offense will be quite good.
Are you talking about the 1st play of the game? That was a good pass and should have been caught. It bounced off both hands.
Agreed.
if a guy can get 2 hands and his face on the ball he should catch it!
Bottom line is he has the arm talent to fit the ball in there, which he did. Watch that play again, he wasn't double covered. The safety never made it to the play on time to effect it - IF he catches the ball. It should have been a gain of at least 30 yards if he brings it down. Morgan makes that play, and it's 1st and 10 Nebraska around the 40-45 of Oregon.
yes. we need to go back to the 'give it to the fullback' days
that throw was right on the money. if morgan makes that catch like he should we pick up 25+ yards the wind is taken out of the sails of the crowd.
