How is it lame? Interceptions has been a huge down fall for Nebraska this year. We have gotten 4 or more interceptions in EVERY game we played this year and it has led us down a bad road so far. We have a QB who is very predictable and is known to run scripted playes rather than reading the defense and making a wise choice. If you ever played madden foorball and you choose a pass play to where is scripted and you are set on which receiver you throw to then you will throw alot more interceptions.
I would go so far to say northern Illinois has a good defense yet they snagged up about 5 or 6 of our passes, they just didnt have the offense to take advantage of it like tech did...Nebraska has no offenese, we have 11 guys playing who were recruited to run/run/run and a QB who was recruited and an option guy who runs scripted plays and throws more interceptions per game than all the QB's in the NFL do in a year. My point is that nebraskas offense in it's current state makes any defense look good and turnovers are a big portion of that problem. Some new blood for this type of offense wouldnt hurt but when you make more completions to the opposing team than you do your own then it's gonna kill ya. Tech has a bad ass offense and I credit them for converting nebraskas mistakes in to gold.
And the worst loss dont matter to us much,we own the series and thats more important than any 1 game stat IMO, we lose games too ya know..lol, we lost bad but it's nebraska so we will be back...getting beat my 60 doen sting but you get over it, just shows how spoiled we are up here...
We cant win them all, but the tradition will continue...
