In your first example Martin, I noticed the same thing. And, I noticed how 
Dillard ran to the pile again, while Daniel cut back and ran right behind 
him for a touch. Worse than flag football.

Okay, I did get my wish to a certain degree.  Cosgrove did try something 
different by playing man to man defense against their 5 wide out set for the 
majority of the evening.

Problem is, they continued to do the same thing.  Predictable in every sense 
of the word.

I think two examples really make me wonder what is going on.  I can not 
really tell if is all coaching or all on the players but look at these two 
examples and I think it is both.

1.  Mizzou gets down to the 10 yard line before the end of the first half 
and our defensive backs are playing 10 YARDS OFF THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE 
STANDING ON THE GOAL LINE AT THE SNAP ????

2.  On Mizzou's fake FG play RUUD IS IN FAKE PREVENT FORMATION but cant get 
to the ball carrier until the 3 yard line and then he doesn't make a head on 
tackle but a leg wrap up tackle and Rucker carries him 3 yards into the end 
zone.

What ever happened to what I am used to:  head on drive em back tackles by 
our linebackers.  Foreman, Farley, Alberts, Polk, just to name a few 
examples who would ROUTINELY meet the ballcarrier in the hole and progress 
stopped.  Now we do not meet the guy in the hole but 2-3 yards behind the 
line and tackle him sideways or low and they go forward for 4 more yards.

I watched LSU and Florida last night.  Those linebackers on those teams seem 
to tackle how I am used to with Huskers of days gone by.

One last thing, an apology:  last year I was somewhat critical of Carriker 
and Moore because I did not think they had the superstar years that I 
thought they should have.  I think I now know why, they had to stay at home 
and close to the vest to cover for the other d-line and linebacker 
deficiencies.  Sorry, Adam and Jay.  I take back my criticism because I see 
this year what you had to overcome with your team mates.
