[Husker] Kansas State Preview

Mon Nov 16 08:42:20 CST 2009

The penalty situation is never a good thing.  However, I don't know all 
the details of any of the penalties.  I did not have an opportunity to 
watch most of the game but I do know that sometimes penalties are not 
what they seem to be, and for sure not what some talking head on TV says 
they are.  For example, when  lineman is held in his 3-point stance for 
a prolonged period while the play is being changed (sometimes apparently 
several times), it is prone to lead to movement on the line.  I have 
been advised (by people that I feel are more competent than the talking 
heads) that the chop block was bogus.  I have heard several points on 
the Asante penalty that hold it in a different light than the talking 
heads and some of the posters on here.  I recall the face masking of  
Crouch that was missed.  It seems the officials that day were the only 
ones that didn't see it.  From time to time the view of the official is 
not exactly what happened on the field.  I'm not saying that every call 
should go to the replay booth (I'm a bit annoyed by the use of the 
replay anyway, since it rarely does anything except extend the length of 
the game), but I also know there are some calls that are not reviewable 
and  that are not accurate.

IMHO, the fans are making attempts to be the "see all do all" ultimate 
coach that makes decisions based on our perception of what happens on 
the field, in the locker room and from replays that also don't tell the 
whole story.  I trust that the coaching staff and the AD will focus on 
the issues that need to be addressed to improve the play on the field.  
We fans, it seems to me, need to focus on watching the game and 
supporting our team.  GO BIG RED!!!!!
