Got a huge win over CU that went on to win 9 games and also stopped a 10 year skid to Wisconsin. As a bonus we kept it close vs Ohio State. Those are the highlights of the season they are better than recent years.

( benhart, castaneda, robinson, bullock ,singleton) with crushing LOSER mistakes in crunch time plays!! Sorry but over and over and over it happens with this clan and they all need to go NOW! No 6th year players next year either Coach Ruhl

Should be the motto next year.

Stop tolerating bad snaps, dropped passes, missed open receivers. Remember when Mickey said the WRs would be catching 10,000 passes in the offseason? That’s what it takes.

I don’t care about coaches running the stairs or Oklahoma drills before kickoff. I care that we play with fundamentals and excellent technique.

Anything is possible as many of these players were also on that team😆🤣

I’m not sure many fans would care but now that FLA bowl is apparently out of reach I’d like to see them here in metro PHX.

Michigan vs Ohio State was always one of my favorite rivalry games, second to only Nebraska vs Oklahoma when I was young.

A cold turkey sandwich with a large glass of cold milk while watching The Game and everything feels right.

Take one for the team and opt out of the bowl game. That last missed block sums up Benhart's whole career. Gifford looks and plays lost each and every game. Time for the new blood to take over.

I remember when Nebraska would hold onto the ball, run it down the middle, score, chew up clock, move chains and have the defense on the sidelines getting beauty sleep.
all the while firmly in controll of the game and geting back ups playing time..

the last 2 decades of pass happy ball we seem to get up by the max of ten points (unless we are playing north west state school for the pasteries), then go 3 and out and have our defense playing uphill all game..
then every 4th quarter is a scramble to have a hope and prayer to stay in the game, ending in poor clock management and defeat...

Was the fish actually any good?

When will we find out which bowl we are headed to? I’m a gluten for punishment, so I’ll be there regardless, but hoping it’s the MCB in Nashville. Short drive for me.

Good stuff in here on Dylan Raiola, Dante Dowdell, Ty Robinson and more…if you’re into that kinda thing.

I like Iowa.

They get the damn job done.

maddening!

Post-2017 all sort of feels like the same terrible timeline, but 2021 and 2024 were probably the 2 most disappointing seasons for me during this time

2021 - Very experienced defense led by a veteran DL (Stille, D Daniels, G Nelson). Play everyone close, several 1 score losses, and end up 5-7.
2024 - Good D led by T Rob, Hutmacher, Butler. Again play everyone close (minus IU) and underperform, 6-6.

Both of these seasons we had the talent to win 9 games. Make a couple plays against Illinois, Iowa, and either USC/UCLA and we're all ecstatic about the future of the program. Just an extremely disappointing missed opportunity for the program.

This off-season will be career defining for Rhule... Will he makes some necessary changes in staff (cough... Foley, McQuire), hit the portal hard, and get Dylan a couple more playmakers?
Or will he take the Frost approach... Double down on his process, ie "I know where this is going", not make changes on under-performing staff (Chinander - Foley), phone it in on recruiting, etc.

I'm hopeful based on how Rhule has approached things so far with the Holgerson hire he is taking the proactive approach. I'm also hopeful that Dylan's mid-season struggles will pay dividends for his growth next year. But we need a new ST and WR coach, and we need 1-2 more elite recruiters who can pull guys from the portal every year if we are going to be truly successful in the B1G.

When the Illinois DB out-fought him for the int,or when he dropped the easy catch tonight that would have put us deep into Iowa territory late in the fourth?

Beat Rhule...pathetic......ok rhule apologists and mancrushers chime in. How the hell do you polish that turd Rhule laid?

Buschini has been so inconsistent his entire career as a Husker. It’s beyond frustrating and cost Nebraska games.

...50th anniversary gift to the best person in my life and as we arrive, I see we are up 10-0 at half.... I am not in a spot to watch so after dinner, I check the score...

Wow....

I don't know where to begin... so I won't....except....

The special teams guy got to go...

Unreal...

Blessings

Bo: 20-11
Cally: 10-7
Riley: 7-10
Frost: 5-22 (.185)
Rhule: 2-10 (.166)

All hat. No cattle. I want believe in him but can’t get over his lack of attention to details especially with special teams and turnovers.

This could be merged with Sklars thread.

Made it to Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City. Tailgate seen was strong from what I saw coming in.

Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. The game will be shown on NBC with Paul Burmeister and Colt McCoy on the call.

After that bs performance I was wondering if I would even awake today. Hahaha. Has anyone been fired yet? Not sure what Rhule is waiting on, if he can’t tell something is seriously wrong with the culture he has built he should be the first one out the door!

My search engine AI pretty much summed up Chasing 3 for Nebraska…

Without further clarification on the specific meaning of “chasing 3”, it is unclear what exact goal or achievement the team is pursuing. However, the provided search results suggest that the content focuses on the team’s season, fall camp, and overall football program.

For a year two rebuild year under Rhule, I am disappointed with lack of overall progress.
Looking at 2024 results, games 1-3 went as expected, Illinois was a disappointment, Purdue Rutgers showed promise, Indiana much better than all expected, Ohio State was positive, both CA teams disappointing, WI brought life back into the program and Iowa cannot be described
So for a net gain of one victory over 2023 doesn’t seem like much progress

Which loss was more pathetic?

The 8 turnover 9-7 loss vs Iowa State in 2009 with a slapnut backup QB?

Or holding a crapshow 2024 Iowa team to 5 first downs and 49 yards rushing with a slapnut QB?

Did King_Kong lose this game for us with his halftime post?
