Here we can pray safely for good Football in 4 hours.


Amen.


PS - God I know this game really doesn't matter, but let's let it not matter to Ohio State a little more.

Amen x 2.

GBR.

Honestly, I think we probably were coming out with 3 points at most anyway so probably didn't make a huge difference in the outcome, but it massively changed how we can approach that drive. And there's absolutely no excuse.

Can somebody much smarter than me explain why calling a screen here makes sense? OSU unlikely to blitz there so why call it?

OK, enough with the wasted downs. There are probably a dozen players on the roster who can run the ball better and you can't trust him to throw the ball so please stop puttiong him out there. If you want to run some wildcat, at least put someone who is a threat in there.

This team was supposed to roll over and die.

The prolific talent of Ohio State should be running roughshod over a team beat last week at Indiana by 1,000 points.

This team isn't quitting.

6 minutes left. Now down 21-17.

Come on boys, somehow bring this one home.

Please help me understand…..

Awful. There's few words that can describe how feeble and pitiful that truly was. Whoever was calling it, should be deported. Immediately. You don't even trust to put the ball in your dudes hands and try and win the game. I'm at a loss. It's truly despicable how awful that sequence was. Scared. Turtle mode. I'd be incredibly embarrassed.

It seemed that either no one told Rhule about the spot on the first down they should have had at the end of the half. Either that or he did not want to say anything about it. I really did not like the answer he gave about it.

They pull me back in. Loss is a loss, you have to eventually win these to get it turned around.

I appreciate the fight and effort though. Please play like this the rest of the season, and please fire Satt

Let's the get the live game thread up and running for Nebraska's game at No. 4 Ohio State today.

The Huskers will be without starting cornerback Tommi Hill, who played last week at Indiana, but his foot is still bothering him. Here's the availability report:

Away from being undefeated

Great job today. Tough place to kick and you booted some bombs. Great work - you should be proud of your practice and execution today on a big stage!!!

Imagine if Dana Holgerson was our OC right now.

Do you think we’d be averaging at least 24 ppg?

I’d say undoubtedly yes.

We have top 50 talent yet perform around 90-100.

Sat is incapable of finding success.

On the final drive, he calls 2 screens in a row after going about 0/10 on screens all day, forcing his TRUE FRESHMAN QB into a position where he has to heave it 20 yards just to stay alive, all while in a hostile top 5 environment.

It’s inexplicable. Rhule needs to own the mistake he made in Marcus and find an upgrade quickly.

And it may not be readily known.

But...

How much input does Rhule have when an individual play is called? Can be override it?

I simply cannot understand how Satterfield was allowed to call those screen plays on that final drive.

CEO needs to step the **** up and either get in the man's ear or fire him.

NFM

if we play that way the rest of the year, we are an 8 or 9 win team.

If I have to watch another WR screen pass go for negative yards I am going to walk into my oncoming traffic on I-80. Guy is a disaster

While I understood his desire to be near family and friends his decision to come here never made much sense to me from a professional standpoint. It’s not like he didn’t have a comparable job at Washington that he was leaving and he controlled the critical football coach hire, I think. He obviously knew he was going to have his career riding on the football program getting revived and he was going to be stuck for years with Trev’s guy to get that tough job done.

So the question I have been pondering: If OSU blows us out and this year turns out to be another 0 for November, would I just sit on my hands and hope Rhule figures out this gig soon? Or would I push hard for assistant coaching changes in 2025 knowing that Rhule like most of his predecessors will balk and whatever relationship we have now will go South?

Just curious what you think might happen, assuming Rhule is safe no matter what for at least three or four years. I also realize we may do great things the rest of this season and this discussion may be moot.🤞🫰

$20 million spent on that roster and this is the best they can do? Then their bratty head coach has a meltdown that would make Bo blush. Good luck getting into the playoffs Bucknuts.

replace him with Lincoln Riley ... or anyone riding on a short yellow bus

Play designs awful. Feel for the game and when to call plays - beyond awful. Clock management skills - getting play calls in time for us to make adjustments = non existent. Does zilch on the recruiting trail. Absolute waste of money. Same BS over and over. No answers.
