First half thoughts against Nebraska

[Dano564]

Carter on the D-line is good. He'll be a stud.
D-line having a decent game.

We have a particular defender who seems to find a way to be on the wrong side of a block on almost every play and inable to tackle runners.

Our freshman OT is solid. He's a good player.
Nice to see our RB's in the passing game.
TE's involved in the passing game.

Too many early drops however.

Defense not great, but showing signs of improvement.
If we could somehow get players who would tackle who stand in front of our secondary, who backup our defensive line whose job it would be to tackle. That would be really cool.

Linebackers are Rossi's responsibility right?

Not deferring really was a bad move by Frost.

Good review. The linebacker play is still subpar as they struggle to get in position and shrug off blocks. The continued issues with play calling and use of time outs is brutal. D has a long ways to go but signs of improvement are definitely there. Tanner telegraphed a few passes but he is always a gamer so will look for improved timing with some new receivers. Plus, a TE TD is awesome ! Go Gophers !!

Good job by their DB.

I hate it when we burn time-outs due to indecision, but I am very OK with burning a time out when PJ realized that our man coverage situation results in MSM trying to cover Wandale Moore out in the flat. Situational awareness by coach might have saved 7 points.
