Gerry's getting tossed is why alchol should not be served in the booth.

Eric Williams

the sad part about Gerrys ejection is that the replay officials reviewed the play for 10 minutes and still managed to embarrass themselves once again

William Snesrud

Absolutely not.....that was the kind of tackle coaches should be teaching their players - hit them with the shoulder and wrap them up in your arms...... Can't believe he got tossed for such a textbook tackle and after everybody but that officiating crew and review judge saying so........

T David Andrew M

It was the best example of poor judgement call so far this season

Bonnie Guy

because it should be obvious.....

David LaFever

Consider the officiating crew...ACC. That says enough...ask Duke.

Bob Crockford

Absolutely not! What in the world did they see, the whole country did NOT see? Idiots! Either they are blind, dirty or they haven't a clue! Fire the idiots! If you asked me, they picked on him, because he had a target vs Iowa.

Shelly Baker

That was a picture perfect tackle! Exactly the way it should be made.

Stephen Johnson

The rule is to subjective. He followed the rules. The officials did not.

Jerry Williams

All the video shows it was good hit.

Larry Baumann

No, however that is the dirty play Banker has always coached his players.

Bob Crockford

Really? Hopefully, you don't get the job!

The rules were completlely followed

John Lind

this was some of the poorest officiating i have seen all season, there is no way he should have been flagged for targeting, he had a form perfect tackle, i think it was called because it was such a hard hit and the official were pussies...

Dan Cubrich

I would like to make a suggestion to the boneheads who came up with that penalty to give the officials even more power to screw up a game.... when a defender is approaching a ball carrier, I guess he should just say "boo" instead of tackling him, and then the play will be...Continued on the reply...

Dan Cubrich

Called dead and the play will then be over. There will then be no chance for any injuries!

Keith Petrie

Absolutely not! Neither time!!!

nope perfect form tackle this rule needs to be changed asap

Glad to see an acknowledgement that the O wasn't working. This shows some urgency about winning which I appreciate.

Bill Greim

Seems pretty obvious that when something is not working very well and you don’t know how to fix it you bring in outside experts for advise. Common practice.

Brad Bredenkamp

Holgerson has enough experience that he should be able to watch some film and the players in practice and call plays that play to their strengths. I'm betting he is also smart enough to stick with what's working until the other team stops it, and to develop some offensive rhythm.

Robert Lloyd

Anything is better than Satterfield. But I don't know why we didn't go after the US Army's OC who only makes $190k and absolutely knows how to run the ball.

Brad Bredenkamp

Because Army's OC can call the triple option and run the ball, but he probably doesn't know how to call for a pro-style quarterback. Plus it is very unlikely that Army's OC is going to jump ship right now the way their season is going. Maybe gets a look after the season if Holgerson doesn't stay.

Dick Plock

Needed change for quite a many games. Our offensive & defense coordinators are being out smarted.

Jean McGee

Satt has been wasting Raiola’s passing strength.

klirvine@bresnan.net

we need an offence

I refuse to get my hopes up

Craig S

Installing a whole new offense would be very difficult. You might be able to refine a small portion but learning the timing and terminology would be difficult.

michael daly

The habits of almost 2 years don't change overnight. That being said, A new , more forceful, high expectation coach, might be able to snap them awake and Go

I doubt that this late in the season this change will help. I hope it does but i have no faith left. The O-line is just horrible.

Sporty361

Good thing we played buffs early. They have improved throughout the season and have been rated most of year. They are moving forward while we are retreating.

Randy Weitzenkamp

My heart says yes, but my head says no. Are they capable? Absolutely, but we haven't seen enough consistency in any of the 3 phases of the game to warrant any confidence that we can win one of the last three games.

Robert Lloyd

Why don't we recruit the Army's offensive coordinator who really know how to develop a running game? And he only makes $190,000 per year.

Joe Hegarty

Won't be favored in any remaining games.

John Lienemann

They have to fight for it. I will be honest and say it depends on which NU team shows up and that’s why I think it’s going to be tough. They could either win the last 3 games but they could also lose the last 3 games.

Lyle Martin

Looking like they won't win again this year

Bill Scheef

Nope...hate to say it but we need a dual threat at QB. It was worth the try, but DR is better off served playing for a program that best suits his drop back talent and at this point in time it's not here. We will drop all three and maybe giving Lincoln Riley two weeks to plan...it's not good !

The ANTI Trump

offense is more confusion and chaos instead of concern and control

Roger Moellendorf

Sadly, no, I don't think it will happen. There are just too many problems with every aspect of their game. Especially offense and special teams.

Bill Petty

I am not hopeful that this team will win another game this year. Just about every phase of the game is sub par. We have clearly regressed as the season has unfolded. Don't forget how much Jeff Simms was hyped last year; how did that turn out. I don't have confidence in the coaching staff.
