The straw that broke the Camel's back

This is it for me. I'm not calling for Rhule's head, he gets 3 years, I think that is fair, he needs to have a chance to fix this. But, I've lost hope, sure don't see Rhule fixing this. So many things wrong.

Offense is, well it's horrible. One ****ing TD is all they could score, barely over 300 total yards. It's just bad. I know it's not fair to judge Holgorsen after one game after taking over in the middle of the season, but this offense didn't look any better than 2 weeks ago. The issues on offense are much deeper than a playcaller. Playcalling was never our issue, poor execution is. Our offense does their job pretty dang bad. Blocking, routes etc. are just not done well. QB play has not been good. Raiola looks like a scared Freshman out there, is easily confused, throws to covered WRs and misses open ones. OL has moved up to average, but isn't consistently good in the run game or pass game, just average, like the rest of the offense. A bunch of average players that execute poorly lead to really bad offensive production.

The defense is pretty good, but isn't a winning defense. When we need a stop, they can't get it. Really struggle on 3rd down. They just can't get off the field. They are good, but not good enough to win games.

ST's are just not special, they are average to bad. They don't set up the offense or defense for success, seldom give us favorable field position.

Overall, we just aren't a good team. We have questionable time out usage and overall time management. Unusual substitution patterns. So far in the Rhule era there are more questions than wins. He's got another year, but I'm doubting that it will lead to success, just to many things going wrong.

Nebraska's Men's Teams

Angry Looney Tunes GIF by MOODMAN


Football 8 years without a bowl
Basketball never won a tournament game
Baseball hasn't made it out of a regional in 19 years
Wrestling can't crack top 3 in 30 years

No end in sight. Has to be the worst ROI in college athletics. Great fan support, money spent, just crappy results.

Not terrible, just good enough to keep interest and the money coming in and crush the souls of fans.

Next coaching moves, in order

The following needs to happen

1) satterfield- losers mentality to keep him in the staff. Obvious.

2) McGuire: obvious.

3) John butler: perhaps it’s rhules meddling in a quarters defense, but the results this year are horrendous.

4) Foley: I slid him down from what should be an obvious #1 because I don’t think MR cares about special teams to begin with which makes this role irrelevant.

5) Glen Thomas : DR was at one point a fantastic freshman with great potential. Hes now a freshman who looks timid, scared and shouldn’t be playing power five football right now. It’s sad to see his regression and I’m not sure how the passing game coordinator and qb coach overseeing his fall has a job.

6) Uncle DR: regression regression regression. I’d prefer to see an oc that can call a game with rhythm before casting complete judgment, but we need an overhaul here. I actually think he’s equipped for a power run ol, but that clearly isn’t what rhule wants.

Rhule is skating on awfully thin ice and has clearly wrecked the psych of this team. Last year we showed promise and improvement but we can’t say the same this year.

the only thing about his previous two college stops that our head elf seems to be repeating here

To me, there’s not one play that embodies this team more than

DR sliding 2 yards short of a 1st down on 3rd and whatever…Tommi Hill’s lack of effort in tackling on the Trojan’s TD is a close 2nd…to me, this is culture more than anything…not laying it all on the line when you need a play…DR’s more concerned about staying healthy for his next team vs helping his current one win…if you’re an OL, RB or WR and you see that from your field general, you’re going to follow suit…it’s a trickle down of not giving a shit

Football Hollywood Homecoming: Ceyair Wright has "game of his life" in return to USC

Cue up the comments:
– “Who cares?”
– “Doesn’t matter, Nebraska lost.”
– “Wasted a guy’s best game because all the other guys sucked.”

Look, I get it. But I’m shouting out Ceyair Wright and the “game of his life in his former house” that the born-and-raised L.A. native – who spent three years at USC and played his HS ball 4.5 miles down the street – experienced on Saturday.

Why? Because it was awesome.

Football Postgame Notes: Nebraska at USC

Postgame Notes: Nebraska at USC

- With the loss, Nebraska falls to 0-5-1 all-time against USC

- Nebraska cornerback Ceyair Wright opened the scoring with a 45-yard interception return for a touchdown in the first quarter. It marked Wright's second interception of the season (also vs. Rutgers) and the third of his college career. Wright played the last two seasons at USC.

- Wright's interception for a touchdown was Nebraska's third pick-6 of the season, joining a Tommi Hill TD against Colorado and John Bullock's pick-6 at Purdue. The three interceptions for touchdowns are the most for Nebraska since the Huskers had four interceptions for touchdowns in 2013

- Wright also blocked a field goal in the fourth quarter. The block was the first of Wright's career and was Nebraska's second blocked field goal of the season (also vs. Colorado)

- Running back Emmett Johnson caught a 29-yard touchdown in the second quarter, marking his first career receiving touchdown. Overall, it was Johnson's second touchdown of the season and fourth of his career.

- Jacory Barney Jr. caught two passes to increase his season total to 40, tying a Nebraska record for receptions by a true freshman. Barney matched the 40 receptions by Wan'Dale Robinson in 2019.

- Defensive lineman Ty Robinson had a 10-yard sack in the third quarter and forced a fumble on the play leading to a Nebraska field goal. The sack increased Robinson's team-leading total to 6.0 sacks and 10 TFL.

- Placekicker John Hohl connected on field goals of 29 and 30 yards, both in the third quarter. Hohl has made his last five field goals.

- Senior rover Isaac Gifford had six tackles in the game to increase his career total to 226, moving him into a tie for third place in career tackles among Husker defensive backs

- Senior OT Bryce Benhart and senior DL Ty Robinson both played in their 57th career game today, setting a Nebraska record for games played. The previous record was held by Cameron Meredith who played in 56 games from 2008 to 2012

- Benhart made his 51st career start in today's game, moving him within two starts of the Nebraska record for career starts

- Today's game captains were Robinson, WR Jahmal Banks, CB Marques Buford Jr. and DE Jimari Butler
