a breakdown of the defense from Saturday

[FearlessF]

not very encouraging

Linebacker has been the weakness of the defense for years - need more size & speed

[FearlessF]

and now for a recap of the offensive running game..............

The Hat is in the house.

Les Miles brings his larger-than-life résumé to Memorial Stadium on Saturday. Michigan Man. LSU national champion coach. Father of four, including Husker Ben. And now, FS1 analyst, high above in the booth.

This is not Miles’ first Husker rodeo. As the coach reminded me, he was Bill McCartney’s offensive line coach at Colorado (1982-86). That meant bad memories of Memorial: losses of 69-19 in 1983 and 17-7 in 1985. Not to mention a 17-7 loss in the 2003 NU season opener while wearing the Oklahoma State head hat.

that '83 game is still a memory for me.  Back in the day when you relied on the periodic scores to appear on the bottom of the screen, during whatever game was being broadcast on ABC or CBS.   One second it was 14-12, early 3rdQ Nebraska and then like two minutes later it was 35-12, then 62-12 a few minutes later, still in the 3rd.  I was like what, what?  I'm pretty sure my Dad was calling back to Omaha to have the phone placed by the radio.  I think the quote from some CU player was, "It was like somebody dropped an atomic bomb on us."

I was at that game.  My junior year.......

Third Quarter 
NU — Irving Fryar 54 run (Livingston kick), 0:35.
NU — Rozier 13 run (Livingston kick), 1:53 
NU — Turner Gill 17 run (Livingston kick), 2:24 
NU — Fryar 34 pass from Gill (Livingston kick), 5:20 
NU — Rozier 18 run (Livingston kick failed), 9:02 
NU — Jeff Smith 12 run (Dave Schneider kick), 9:45 
NU — Shane Swanson 1 pass from Nate Mason (Schneider kick), 12:13 
CU — Chris McLemore 2 ran (Field kick), 14:08

Official recap 
Top-ranked Nebraska was stymied by a well-conceived Colorado game plan for 30 minutes, then exploded for a Big Eight-record 48 points in the third quarter to increase a tenuous 14-12 halftime lead to a 62-19 margin after three periods before winning, 69-19, before 76,268 Homecoming fans.

In the Huskers' record-setting third quarter (they missed the NCAA one-quarter scoring mark by one point), their seven scoring drives averaged 2.6 plays, 37 yards and 36 seconds. The first three scores came within 2:24 of the second-half kickoff.

Said CU cornerback Victor Scott, "It was like someone dropped the Atom Bomb on us."

Mike Rozier again led the way with 19 rushes for 155 yards and four TDs. The four scores gave him 32 career rushing TDs to set a school record.

Is the seat hot now? I can't believe they lost this game.

[Brutus Buckeye]

It could be a lot worse.

Michigan once lost to a 3-9 Toledo team, who fired a popular coach at the end of the season in spite of the Michigan upset.

In 2014, NU lost its home opener to Cal .... the Bears ended up 1-11 that season

ugh 

[FearlessF]

the seat is HOT

AD made a statement post-game

not good

and I suppose it could be worse, but not a lot worse

in my freshman year, the Huskers started 1-2.  The natives were ready to tar & feather Osborne and run him out of Lincoln

Doc Tom inserted Turner Gill and won 8 straight, beat OU and crowned Big 8 champs

that's not going to happen this season

[MarqHusker]

Still haven't seen a snap of this one, should I even bother watching when I return home?  I had a couple texts, regarding pick sixes, and then one saying, 'You were right, this is Callahan 2.0'

[Brutus Buckeye]

Well ya gotta watch it in order to know what everyone's tawkin' 'bout, don'cha? 

[Temp430]

Les Miles at Nebraska would be scary but I think things need to get a lot worse before Riley gets fired.  Just think, maybe Miles would bring his old defensive coordinator back to help him out in Lincoln?
