it was terrible

William Anderson

Everyone knows when in Boulder in the 4th quarter offensive possession is vital. Most all team's defenses wear down there if the offense can not run some clock. Our D wore out - plain and simple.

Mike Hunter

Entire team looked flat in the 4th quarter.

John Freeman

CU made adjustments - went to a 3 man front and widened the ILBs to counter our success on the edge. We did not. No interior run game with 1 less man.. No vertical game. Our O ran our D in the ground.

Jeremy Woitaszewski

Because we were running it when it clearly wasn’t working

Rich Leffler

Some of the play calling was very questionable inn the second half of the game. Why did they not use their big tight ends more? I mean Austin Allen is 6 '8" tall so why isn't here using his available

Rich Leffler

Weapons he has? It all seems a little vanilla and limited!

Darrell Moore

Frost was calling the plays like he was trying not to lose rather than playing to win. Colorado Coach took Frost to school.

Paul Popp

Second half adjustments by Colorado confused the entire team and coaching staff. Felt like they went conservative just to hold on and escape.

Ron Joseph

Seems like we went into a shell - esp after Washington's long run off of the sideline flair pass. The next time we had the ball we did the exact play only to the other side. could've been a pick 6

We needed to run the ball we didnt we did the wore out prem pass that they new wss Coming completely predictable

Mick Hanson

Not, "they had to". Just if they couldn't execute the plays called, why could they execute the other ones? The offense got over confident and let it slide, with an eye on the score board.

Any venue is a good venue, we're in a bowl. Remember where it all began? The Gothem Bowl

Doug Ross

I'm going!

Dick Plock

this is the worst bowl there is we deseve cause little rhule wont get rid of his buddies foley was forced to get rid of Mcguire and Sattersuck we lost at least three game ayear because of these schmucks

Chad Alexander

It's a baseball stadium plus New York sucks!

Bob Healey

No! I was going to Phoenix! Playing in the cold in a baseball stadium. NU got the worst bowl. Don't ride the subways.

Bill Scheef

Baseball stadiums are NOT conducive to FB games...sight lines and angles to the field are designed for baseball and not FB. Will save the $3 to $4,000 dollars and watch it 10 feet from my icebox, and bathroom...Plus, who knows what type of Husker team will we be seeing...Too many nopes for me.

Loren Zimmerman

New York City? Crime ridden, money hungry locals; no way.

Robert Lloyd

No one should risk their life for a football game in hell's pit.

Doug Einsel

And it NYC

Gary Wall

We live in Southern California, toooo cold for us--watch on TV

Bruce Jakubowski

Cold weather bowl. This sucks. Reminds me of the "Gotham" bowl...

Yeah, but it's time to use him. No moire Secrets!

David Dahlkoetter

Very good athlete. Won't make a ton of plays, but can be a serious threat catching the football.

Rich Hovorka

specially designed plays

Loren Zimmerman

He's an athlete, and a good one. He's to valuable to be sitting on the sidelines. He needs to be part of the rotation.

Robert Lloyd

It just seems he isn't a true QB and maybe this (TE) is where he should have been all along. And now with several leaving the position this could be perfect. Nothing is "hidden" these days.

Visitor

Double H is the best athlete on the field.

He needs a lot of time learning how to run behind his pads. If he does not learn that, he is going to get hurt. He also does not come across as a real fluid athlete. Strong and fast for sure but really do not see much flexibility and vision as a runner.

Mike O

This works if Rhule gets a great qb in the portal. Kaelin didn't play a down even though he could have played in four games. And now he's gone. One blindside sack and Raiola is down for the count and Haaberg is back at qb. I do give Haaarberg an extra A for effort as always.
