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.

Just got some weird error message when I was posting a reply, is everyone experiencing this?

Matt Rhule today:

>> Reacted to no-call on clear-cut USC penalty on the final play of the game
>> Very critical of the Huskers' secondary while explaining their coverage breakdowns on Saturday
>> Addresses the perceived Nebraska "curse"

Like JCPenney, it's all inside:

I know that getting to bowl matters a lot psychologically and I hope it happens, but we also need to look at how few upperclassmen are actually difference-makers on this team and the impact of the freshman and sophomores. Ty Robinson, Hutmacher (who I actually think was better last year), Benhart, Scott, and the punter, our MVP, Brian Buschini are the only guys I'd say have have been reliably better than the opposition this year. Rhule inherited a roster that is on par with a MAC team. Sorry, but it is true.
I know Raiola has struggled a bit in the latter half of the season but he is a true freshman and OSU and Georgia likely planned to redshirt him for the reasons we are seeing on the field. And we also have Kaelin and TJ Lateef coming in. We have more pure QB talent than we have had in a long, long time. Barney has been our most dynamic weapon offensively as a true freshman. Willis McGahee pushed his way into playing time as a true freshman. Our best two running backs are sophs, Gottula has played really quite good as a freshman and we have a roster of hopefully very good young OL, our receiving corps does have a lot of young, fast guys that should start contributing next year, and he same is true on the defensive side.
Heck, if Corcoran and Prochazka are back next year and don't get injured that OL could be really good.
Our kicker has grown over the season too and has shown he can deliver in big moments.
The recruiting is good too. We have guys that can come in and fill desperately needed positions with high-end talent. I'm hopeful we could get a 5 star WR to go with an already good receiver class. We just don't have a guys that strike fear in a defense.
I am encouraged that we will keep Holgerson and he will really elevate our offense and the play of our QBs.
And finally, we have the NIL money to pour into getting the type of next-level talent to push us over the top.

where each play is explained to the public by coaches and players.

That time of the week, fire away!

Want to know why we don’t make plays year after year when it matters? The big catch, the big stop, the big run. Besides being mental midgets, we just haven’t had the dudes…..almost anywhere on the field. I want to be very clear here, this is not a post excusing some of the play or coaching this season, but this programs struggle can be directly connected to its lack of talent over the last 7 years. Only 11 Huskers have been drafted since 2017…IN ANY FVCKING ROUND. Incredible. Scott Frost is the worst coach in Husker history for so many reasons, but his lack of identifying talent is really what has done this program in. This years roster is better, but still not where it needs to be. Recruit, recruit, recruit, spend, spend, spend. Rhule and Co have their own coaching hills to climb, but the talent deficit is priority 1.

Who's old enough to remember that it wasn't always just QB's who won? Anyone notice any "Prime" candidates missing?

Anybody have 3 tickets for Wisky game? TIA

“What three Montana football program records did former Nebraska WR Samori Toure set when he was a member of the Grizzlies program?”

=================================

Answers:

Single-season receiving yards (1,495), single-season receptions (82) and single-game receiving yards (303) in 2019.

Is there any hope other than Jerry selling the team?
