Marcus Satterfield's goal-line play-calling has to be better for Nebraska football

Since Marcus Satterfield arrived in Lincoln, he has been anything but a favorite of Nebraska football fans. This past week, he lost even more fans when he was clueless after being asked how many yards per play he'd like his offense to get in any given game.

And if there were any fans who were still willing to support him and make excuses for him, he likely lost them because of his play calling in this week's game against Ohio State.

While the playcalling has not been great at all on Saturday, it was his playcalling after Malcom Hertzog intercepted a Will Howard pass and returned it inside the OSU 10 yard line.

Nebraska football momentum killed by Marcus Satterfield playcalling

Satterfield then called two straight runs right into the middle of the line, before a nice 3rd down call that got the ball down to the one. And then an attempt to leap over the line was stopped short.

In that possession, Satterfield did not attempt a single pass. He did not attempt a play action. He just thought the Huskers' offensive line could push OSU back enough to score a TD.

It was odd playcalling to say the least. It was the kind of playcalling that isn't helpful when you are trying to pull the upset. It was a copy of the ultra-conservative play calling he's shown off far too often this season.

And with the score 17-14 Nebraska football at the time of this writing, it would have given the Huskers a two-score lead.
