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

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

SEW

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
