[Husker] Crowd Noise

[Matt Phillips]

I have to ask, Was the crowd too loud?... or was the scheme too
complicated?

Or did the coaching staff fail to adjust its perfect plan?

It's hard to believe the angst in some of these posts (not yours, Scott).
But I don't think folks are seeing the root cause of the problem.

There are loud stadiums every Saturday.  There are defensive adjustments
every Saturday - plenty of teams can pull those off.  But I've never heard
that a home stadium was too loud for the adjustments.  So I have to point
the finger at the people who designed the defense - the coaching staff.

Put another way, we could have given up ~600 yards in a base defense with no
adjustments whatsoever.  So, at this point in the game/season, the
adjustments are doing us no good.  So, just keep it simple.  We seem to be
outsmarting ourselves.

GBR,
