the vibes around this team are absolutely atrocious

West Omaha is my location. Thanks

It's going to happen today.
Make a fancy game meal.
Open the expensive bourbon.
Record this game.
Today we snap the streak and get ourselves off the bowl schnied.

GBR!

The short & intermediate passing games were a LOT sharper
the running game actually had some effect
the offense moved the ball against the best 3rd down defense in the country

what we are lacking is TRUE difference makers out wide - especially who can get open in the red zone ... we need to start using #17 like the 49ers use Deebo in the red zone (or Ty Hill in Miami with the crossers underneath inside the 5)

we need a BOOKEND LT - Prozacha's loss has been far more devastating than I realized it would be - but we got no depth on the OL and need to hit the transfer portal HARD at the Tackle & Center spots

Short answer: Yes
Long answer: Also yes... I have seven kids and I just had the seventh at 45 years old 😜

However, I was talking to my wife and this looks like so much fun. I would absolutely do this..

She however thinks I'm insane

Frost: 5-22 (0.185)
Rhule: 2-9 (0.181)

The 13th and final Gabbert is playing tonight on ESPN (Miami-Ohio). If interested??






**sarcasm**😉

The Checkdown is up:

> Wrinkles that stood out to me about Holgorsen's offense
> Bonner in the screen game
> Jaylen Lloyd needs to play more
> A new TE screen
> The offensive line's "best game of the year"
> More

300 bucks for the pizza 120 for the wings... That's just FU money right there.

Would be interesting to know how often after we get a score the defense gives up a score on the following possession. Seems like it happens a large majority of the time. I started calling it "going Birdie-Bogey".

Just amazing how we can't ever keep any momentum and it's uncanny and weird how the D performs after a Husker score.

Analysis

2026 Maize (Kan.) South four-star defensive lineman Hunter Higgins and 2026 Manhattan (Kan.) three-star defensive back JJ Dunnigan will be making the drive up to Lincoln this weekend to see Nebraska take on Wisconsin.

For Higgins in particular, this visit is an opportunity to see two schools he's interested in, his third trip to Lincoln this season. For Dunnigan, it's his second trip to Lincoln this season, as the Huskers battle hometown Kansas State for his commitment.

Jumped in front of the camera with @TimVerghese to give a Dana Holgorsen breakdown following his first presser this afternoon. Mixed in some Tony White/defense talk at the end as Nebraska picks itself back off the mat and heads into (yet another) pivotal game this weekend.

Dana Holgorsen is set to take the podium here shortly for his first appearance in front of Husker Media. Tony White and a set of players will also be making the regular Tuesday media availability. Back to regularly scheduled programming it appears, one week after Rhule had shut down the Tuesday presser with coordinators and players amid the staff change.

Will have full presser videos ITT below. Videos will go up on our YouTube channel first. (LINK)

We are trying to have a true freshman pocket QB throw the ball over 30x a game and expect that we are going to win that way. It would defy all logic as it is hard enough to be good right away as a QB, but when the QB cannot really run the ball it makes it even tougher and easier on the defense. Your feet can get you out of spots as a freshman, but to be efficient each week out of shotgun is not a simple task. 2 TD to 8 INT over the last five games is terrible.

Dana realized that we never take any short routes and were rarely looking at the middle of the field. I hope he sticks around because he at least can see the obvious. I still wish we would have run the ball more yesterday though. EJ, Dowdell each were doing more than fine with 5.5 and 6.5 ypc. It is also crazy to me that we don't get under center more often to make the defense bite on PA and also easier dump offs for Dylan. Regardless in time Dana is light years ahead of Satt who was an awful hire.

Why does Lloyd not play more? It's so obvious that he might be the fastest on the team and his hands have improved this year. He was the one guy last year who made the defense respect us deep. EJ might not be the most talented but he makes the right plays and can catch out of the backfield aka should have way more touches than he has so far this year. We heard a lot about Bonner only to see him stand on the sidelines, but he can block and is a hard runner when he gets the ball. Did Dana realize the obvious on these guys in two weeks time? What are Barthel and McGuire looking at? Rhule needs to take a long hard look at the OL and we will need a few portal kids who are capable. If he can keep Dana around I would then feel good about the offense next season. Run the damn ball!

Our defense is in shambles and we might have the worst secondary in the B10. I really like our front 7 but that isn't enough for teams who can throw the football. We were lucky we were in the B10 west last year. If we don't look good against Wisconsin and Iowa who can only run the football (with back up QBs) then it may be time for Snow to replace White.

I have some questions regarding our running backs:

Where in the heck has Gabe Ervin gone? Is he injured again? He has been on a milk carton lately. Anyone know the story?

Is Rahmir still injured?

Can anyone explain why in the hell EJ was not our featured every down back before DH got here?

How is our recruiting going at this position?

Seems there is an issue with Rivals causing no one to know they are posting, giving errors.

if we don't hang onto Holgorsen, Herman would be an incredible hire. Don Brown would be a major upgrade at DC, also.
