What games are you talking about? Like the second half of the Penn State game was hard?? Otherwise last year's team barely had a bad quarter. They'd kick the snot out of these guys

Oregon when Mendoza threw the interception, Iowa, and PSU.

Second half adjustments: save timeouts, QB/TE spy, and sustain drives. Go IU!

Not every pass has to either be 5 or 35 yards down the field. There is way more of the field to play with

Two drives ended with Colandrea missing three straight passes and then a field goal attempt.

He’s not an idiot. He took the ball and got the wind. That will be helpful in Q4.

Iowa was a struggle the whole game.

Forgot Iowa. We were clearly better than Oregon. Never had a doubt in that game personally.  Oregon is a soft team coached by a soft coach

PSU was the one that scared me.

And the other was a bad snap. Our defense has done little to nothing to stop them

Dang, I knew it would be bad here, but man a bunch of Debbie Downers.  : ]

Nebraska was always going to be a tough game.  We'll get it fixed at halftime.  

[DChoosier]

I can’t believe we are only down a touchdown. Poor D - no pressure, poor tackling, wide open receivers - really disappointing (so far).
 

[OliviaPope40]

Gotta have smarter coaching and a better second half. Don't know what game film we were watching.

They've gotten their ***** kicked. Outside of two throws there are zero positives 

[DChoosier]

In my head I thought we would show our running game dominance early with an initial run of 10-12 yards. 
Instead we rushed for 12 yards the entire half!!

Promise?  Hopefully the missed field goal woke up the demons in Nebraska.

[OliviaPope40]

0 rushing TDs in the 1st half is telling. 

[KingPG21]

Maybe we could try running on the edge? Running up the middle and inside the tackles has been awful. Becker and Marsh are great blockers, ******* us them as such

I couldn’t watch PSU I wouldn’t have had fingernails left

Maybe so, but the one thing he has figured out is that at his core Cig is a really, really conservative guy and he’s not gonna go out and throw it 50 times no matter how hard Nebraska is selling out against the run. I would love to see them come out 4 wide and play my WR’s against your DB’s. I think you win those matchups all day. But I’d be willing to bet a lot of money that he’s gonna continue to run it against that ridiculously stacked box but that’s what he believes in.

Not really sure what the team has shown to deserve anything other than the criticism they are getting. They are a no show today. If Nebraska hadn’t made mistakes this game would be over.

Yep, and only 12 yards rushing so far....that will change in this half!
