Football Scarlet Standouts: Ty Robinson gets himself paid, 3 more career-best days

I know it can be irritating when anyone does player of the game after a loss, but Ty Robinson and the others here played too well to ignore. That guy is on a tear and, for at least the second game this year, went out and got himself.


Ty put a bunch of plays on film yesterday that will have teams moving him up there NFL Draft boards. He acknowledged about three weeks ago that he was gonna have a tough decision to make at season's end, but he's making that decision easier with each passing week.

Things I believe

I believe Matt Rhule is a great coach who will bring Nebraska football back to prominence.
I believe next year's defense will be even better than this year's.
I believe next season's QB room will be much improved over this year's.
I believe Thomas Fidone will have a breakout season in 2024.
I believe we will have as much team speed as anyone in the BIG.
I believe Satterfield will change the minds of many of his detractors.

And finally,

I believe yesterday's loss to Maryland was the most torturous game, from start to finish, that I have ever watched as a Nebraska fan.

Making excuses for coaches is why Frost was here way too long

Coaching matters, always has. The offense has serious issues and it’s not just players. It is easy to always explain and try and rationalize any situation, but usually the answer is always right there staring you in the face. Rhule has to take control of the offense for these last two games and try and get one win. In the offseason we need to overhaul everything, QB’s and coaches included.

Nebraska v Maryland Sights & Sounds from Memorial

I can understand 2-turnover games here and there throughout a season. But I have never seen turnovers like that in person in a college football game (no, I was not at the ‘09 Iowa State game).

My takeaways from Memorial that might have been missed on p’cock:

- After 3 turnovers, most defenses fully quit on their offense. Our D did not. They noticeably played their balls off well past the 4 turnover mark. Javin Wright and Ty Robinson single-handedly kept us in the game, along with the Polar Bear and Marques Buford, who looked like a missile sacking Tagovailoa. Anyone with some pull in the NU admin offices better find a way to slip Tony White a $750,000 bonus for Christmas and make him say ‘no way’ to head coaching jobs.

- Tagovailoa’s throw from the left hash at the Maryland 25 to the NU 25 sideline was next level. A 50-yarder essentially thrown a 65-yard dime laser beam. It’s time to hit the portal for a QB like that. We have plenty of $$ to snag a good QB. Get it done.

- For an 11AM crowd in November, the energy was surprisingly good. Nobody waited to wake up at 11AM. That place was on the brink of eruption when Purdy drove down the field before the last INT.

- Rhule better find some duct tape for the QB and TO issues the next 2 weeks. I don’t care what it takes to get that 6th MF’ing W. This program cannot afford to miss another bowl game.

Year One

just want the extra practices to get the freshman and other incoming guys more work.

See the needs and priorities and grow from there. This roster with all the injuries and issues and still have a shot to get to a bowl game, I’m willing to be the tallest midget in the room this year.

Staff changes need to happen for sure and the portal for some positions need to be hit hard, hard, hard. NIL needs to step up its game too.

No way this team is 5-5 with any staff back to Bo with the injuries this season.
