Good God, no wonder Nubb has a top 10 defense

[novembereleven]

Have a look at the "amazing" QB's Nubb's had to face this year.

First...in Big 12 play:

Mizzou (Win):
Blaine Gabbert- 1st String-True Soph, 1st Big 12 start, on a bad ankle that's still bothering him.

Texas Tech (Loss):
Steven Sheffied- 2nd String- RS Junior, torched Nubb playing much of the game on a Broken Foot (and KSU much worse on a healthy foot)

ISU (Loss):
Jerome Tiller- 2nd String- RS Frosh, beat Nubb in Lincoln in his first D1 start

Baylor (Win):
Nick Florence- 3rd String- RS Frosh, lost by a 10 point margin in his 3rd career start for awful Baylor Bears


For those keeping score at home...that's 1-First Stringer, 2-2nd Stringers and 1-3rd String QB at the midway point of the Big 12 season....two on bad lower extremeties.  


Hell, the non-conference provided better QB's than the Big 12 and it's still a completely crappy group.  Probably the best QB they've played is Florida Atlantic's Rusty Smith.  Tyrod Taylor of Va. Tech is a dismal passer (think Ell Roberson as a Soph) and had his 2nd best passing day of the year vs. Nubb...and it was still under 200 yards.  Hell, even the Masson kid from La. Laff completed a higher percentage vs. Nubb than he did vs. KSU, despite the fact Nubb killed them in Lincoln.

And the breaks continue as they get OU's back-up to Bradford (who is admittedly good, but no Sam Bradford at this point), First year starter Grant Gregory from KSU and either the dismal Hawkins kid or equally dismal Hansen kid from CU.  

Throw in the pretty good (though struggling) Todd Reesing and they'll play, what 3-5 decent/good QB's all year, half of which were injured?  Pathetic!

Suh caused the bad ankle in the game. Perhaps you should do a little more research before using the keyboard again..

Could be wrong, but wasn't Mizzou dominating till that point?  In other words, the Nub D dominates sickly and sucky QB-run offenses.

You are wrong.  Mizzou dominated up to 12:00 in the 4th quarter.  Then Mizzou realized they sucked.

Dearest vantard,

That's the best you can manage?  Face it, your team is 2-2 vs. QB's with 3 TOTAL Big 12 starts prior to the Nebraska kick-off with each.

In fact, let's have a look at how many Big 12 starts each QB will have under their belt when the Nubbs play them:

Mizzou-0
Tech-1
ISU-0
Baylor-2
OU-3
ku-21
KSU-6
CU-9

TOTAL-42...half of which belong to Todd Reesing

For a conference which was supposed to be rich with QB talent, your Nubb team has somehow managed to avoid almost all of it.  Oh and before you start claiming KSU is in the same situation, I counted 53 QB starts prior to KSU's games.  Still not impressive, but over 20% more than the Nubbs.

If you need any further evidence of your pissing away good fortune we could discuss Nubb's losing to two teams fielding back-up RB's (ISU & Va Tech)

Thanks for playing Princess!

Holding Louisiana-Lafayette scoreless helped a little. How did that one work out for you?

[feralchat]

The key is to actually improve during the season. How's that working up in the cornfields?

[vanro031]

Dearest Trike-rider,
 Since you are the all knowledge one, explain to us in detail why the Nebraska offense is so bad this year.
Take your time...
Do some research..
Get back to us..

[Pete]

Jesus, 11/11 is just &@#%ing crushing it on this board lately.

We need to get this guy to the katpak in Vegas.

Very true, Huskers are not improving as the year goes on. Mr. Trike-rider will report to us soon why that is.
The Offense is stepping backwards every week and November butt sniffer will tell us why.
Right now, Gay State is playing the best ball in the north. But that's not much to be proud of.

[vanro031]

Jesus, 11/11 is just fracking crushing it on this board lately.

The only crushing I hear is the sound of his last two brain cells banging together..

[Bookcat]

the blackshirts vs. OU's offense. hmmm. that's a tough one.

[ksuFB]

So tell us genius ( this should be good ) if ISU would of recovered 8 TO's from KSU would your D hold them to 9 points??

Don't think so....thanks for playing

Pride,
Let him educate us on the Husker offense first. Let's not overload 11/11..

Last I checked, Gabbert doesn't play defense. Not sure what his injury has to do with the Husker offense scoring points. How was the ride home this afternoon on the short bus?

You are aware that 11/11 is on first-name basis with people who make, star-in, and distribute the finest pornography on the earth, right?  A bit of respect here is warranted....

I did not know that... Sorry about that. He is now known as Sir 11/11...

You know the blackshirts are back when their measure of success is based on a moral victory over Iowa State in their own stadium.

Bookrat,
How many points did they give up to Iowa State? How many point did Iowa State score on KSU?

Which one of those came out with a W and which one came out with an L? Seems a little more important to me.

Dearest Husker Pride,

That may be the single dumbest attempt to defend the Nubb defense imaginable.  While the field position of those turnovers may have driven the Nubb fans crazy, with only a couple exceptions, it worked out GREAT for the Husker defense.

Seriously, look at the ISU starting field position after four of those turnovers.  Any special teams coach would have been thrilled with Iowa State drives starting deep in ISU territory at 17, 20, 20, 5.  That's the equivalent of 2 touchbacks and two poor returns for the opposition.  Perfect for the defense!

Only 2 of the 8 turnovers presented genuine problems starting on the Nubb 38 and Nubb 22 (actually started at the Nubb 37 after a 15 yard  post-possession personal foul on ISU).  The former resulted in a field goal, the latter  a missed field goal.

The final two turnovers came within the last 3 minutes of the game, resulting in three runs to burn the clock and 3 times taking a knee to end the game.

Face it, you're just another delusional Husker fan trying to find some measure of solace in yet another Husker squad unable to live up to your bloated and unrealistic expectations.

Could KSU do the same?  I honestly don't know, as KSU didn't get the luxury of  playing ISU at home, against a first time QB starter and back-up RB.  But I'd like to think those factors would have helped.  


Thanks again for stopping by to share your own brand of crazy.

Sure, answer him first.... You still doing your research?

Arnaud vs. JT Tiller

neutral field vs. Memorial

you guys choked the game and should have won...I'll give you that....but other than that..just accept how embarrassing it was for NU to blow that game. You'll prolly rebound and beat us in Memorial so don't sweat it.

[vanro031]

Off the record, KSU is peaking right now. It's anyone's game in the north.

[phagallenblowsballs]

Sure, answer him first.... You still doing your research?

Im sorry to inform you, but along with Hawkins you have the craptiest coach in the north and its not even close...whats the deal with Bo Peep anyways???  Inbreeding or just a slight touch of the downs syndrome...the guy just looks f'n retarded...

God i cant wait to hear the excuses from the fightin corn when OU beats you bastards by 35 points..and its gonna happen..im guessing 35-0

Nope, we get a field goal and the D scores a TD. So you are saying KSU is a 25 point favorite over the Huskers?

Dear 11/11 it's good to see that it only took you a little under 4 hours to develop your reply..nice. Did your tutor have to help with that or did your parents for go the extra cost and plop down at the computer with you?
We have 2 players on the D line that have garnered national honors in the last few weeks ( nagurski comes to mind, Natl. pow) that may have something to do with it as well. Not to mention that our Defense was ranked 55th last year and has made a steady climb.
Seriously, take off the purple glases and start to look objectively at things before becoming a purple tool. It would do you a world of good. Oh, and by the way, placing "Tard" at the end of names makes you sound like Daxi....and you don't want that.

oops my bad for not paying attention closely to a game that means nothing to me...I guess if I were a regular poster on a Husker/Tiger board I'd be more into that.

[EllToPay]

Don't think so....thanks for playing

that's an impossible scenario, as we don't put the ball on the ground 8 times in one game, let alone 8 times in 4 games.

having a decent coach helps, too. sorry you guys can't experience that.

[novembereleven]

...and Husker Pride follows up with absolute nonsense, which is the norm.  Dinner with my girlfriend caused the delay, because unlike you and the other foam corncob hat wearing idiots, I have a life. 

As for my argument, it's really quite sound and logical.  Four of the turnovers were the equivalent of good punts leaving ISU with long fields of 80 yards or more, 2 were virtually meaningless to the defense, as they were just clock killers and the two that did place Nubb in a precarious position resulted in a missed FG and a successful field goal.  Pretty simple, for someone with a brain and/or not living in a trailer house with a Nubb flag flapping proudly near the septic tank.

The turnovers made you crazy because so many of them were botched scores or near scores.  But that has little to do with the defensive strategy or ranking.  Your defense was going against Iowa State's back-up QB and back-up RB which do indeed have strategic and ranking consequences.

As for the constant Suh rattle coming out of Lincoln.  It's sickening the level of your obsession and akin to the Tebow nonsense from the national media.  He's a very good player...absolutely!  But likely the subject of masturbatory fantasies only in the Lincoln and Omaha metro areas. 

As for Crick's big game vs. Baylor's 3rd string freshman QB, congrats to the young man!  Now what's your point?  KSU's Courtney Herndon won the Walter Camp National Player of the Week honor last year as well.  He blocked a punt for a TD, picked off a pass and also scooped a fumble running it 43 yards for a TD.  Was it worthy of congratulation?  Absolutely!  Was it worthy of obsession and constant blather from a fanbase experiencing hard times?  Not really.  But that's what it would have been for KSU last year and exactly what it is coming from you today.

Thanks for stopping by....
