Updated Husker NCAA Offensive Stat Rankings

Stats don't tell the whole story. I never thought I'd say this but look at Minnesota, they are almost equal to NU in Rushing, Passing, Defense, Punting......and yet they are sitting at 6 wins (AGAIN) with much less star power. They don't make mistakes, they play field position football, control the clock........Fleck and his staff understand how to get the most out of what they have. I thought his "stick" was a little corney (Row the Boat) but I'd trade for his Football IQ right now.

The Psychology

Bo did get his teams to play with attitude. But they also quit once things started to go the wrong way and would get massacred. This team at least plays hard to the end. This team is only a few fixes from being good. They need to focus just on themselves and ignore all the external BS. It's not always easy to ignore it. Most of these kids knew nothing about the past until they were told about it and now they feel it too.
They need to just play and not tense up. You could see the tension for three quarters. After that UCLA TD they finally seemed to relax because the game seemed out of reach. Raiola actually looked better from that moment. Satterfield's play-calling is a massive issue too, of course.
The offense is the largest problem. The team knows that they can only score about 20 points per game. If the opposition gets out quick they panic knowing their backs are against the wall.

The defense is good and can keep the team in the game but can not carry the team. Imagine if the offense carries it's weight and scores over 21...

Rhule needs to either take over play calling with a run heavy plan or put the QB coach in control, his resume screams of Rhule's vision. Rhule has instilled fight and competition into them but the offensive game plan is just that, OFFENSIVE. If the run game gets established it will rest the defense and make them more effective. One feeds the other.

Rhule=Frost.2

Defense given us opportunity to win every game except Indiana. Offense is once again one of the worst in the country. Raiola hasn't looked as good as he did at first but he's not playing bad. No run game and offensive line allows quick qb pressure.
The leaky line also extends to perimeter blocking with wr and TE. We are so easy to defend since we can run any type of screen game to offset the pass rush. Failures in every aspect of the offense. Everybit bit of the offense needs blown up. Utter incompetence

OT: Union Omaha Mechack Jerome & fam injured in Bellevue house explosion

"PAPILLION, Neb. —
Union Omaha capped off an emotional week with a 1-0 win over the Richmond Kickers in the USL League One quarterfinals.
...The Owls will host Greenville Triumph SC in the USL League One semifinals at Werner Park on Saturday, November 9th."

Union Omaha captures 'emotional win' days after player Mechack Jérôme and his family were injured in a house explosion.

What Do I Do?

I think they should be pretty good. Lots of returning starters and NCAA qualifiers. Ridge Lovett and Brock Hardy will be the headliners. Should be a pretty good dual team. Not sure about NCAA finish. Their returning lineup would indicate top 10, and good chance at top 5. All depends on winning those toss up matches, especially in the early rounds.

Despite being a fan, I have never attended a match in person. Thinking of going to Lincoln on Friday for opening night.
Ridge Lovett.... hell of a porn name?
