..one way or the other now with DH taking over the O. I think it opened at +7.5. Just checked and it is now at +9.

What does a scheme look like with 3 games to get the momentum rolling and belief built?

Who is one or two of the worst QBs that he has had as and OC. What was their productivity.
What is the average productivity of all his QBs.
Mostly spread it out and see?

Rhule is scheduled to talk at around 11:30 a.m. today. I'll provide any notable updates from the head coach in this thread.

NU (5-4, 2-4) travels to Los Angeles this weekend to play USC (4-5, 2-5), which is also coming off a bye week. The Trojans made a change at QB and will start the 6-5, 230-pound dual-threat Jayden Maiava instead of Miller Moss. Maiava was the 2023 Mountain West Conference Freshman of the Year at UNLV.

Saturday's game will kick off at 3 p.m. central time, 1 p.m. local time and be televised by FOX.

Here's the Big Ten slate for this weekend:

Just read he decomitted. Don’t know much about him. Is this a big loss? No big deal?
I really, really hope this isn’t the beginning of a trend. I am sure Rhule has sold recruits on the idea that NU is soon going to be “Nebraska” again. But our current season has to be taking some of the shine off of that apple.

It isn’t like the old days. People often accuse me of living in the past and therefore of holding NU to a false standard. But the present reality is that the Overton window for turning around a program in the era of the portal and NIL is about two years. You don’t get four or five years anymore to build your program by slowly developing high school recruits. You do it fast or you don’t do it at all.

That is my fear with our current recruiting class. It is a darn good class. But will we keep it? Or will it fall apart?

Congrats to our friend @rutgersal

America is the land of the free because of the brave. Thank you for your service.

Over the years I have had the privilege to many veterans tell stories of what they went through. From WWII to Iraq these stories are amazing stories of courage and sacrifice.

No matter where you served, thank you.

B1G now has 4 of the top 5 teams in the country…

The next three are all games that can be won by tge team who rung Colorados bell.
That team can go to bowl. Its time for a bowl game not more excuses for our execution.
Fight one out.

101st Airborne

Big move during the season.

1) Nebraska has the more talent than UCLA.

2) UCLA interviewed Tony White and they didn't want White. Instead they promoted their RB coach, Deshaun Foster to head coach with ZERO coaching experience. Let me say that again, Deshaun Foster's highest position coach in his coaching career is being a position coach.

3) UCLA vs Nebraska was Foster's 8th game in his career. It was Matt Rhules's 21st game at Nebraska and 149th game as a head coach. Matt Rhule was outcoached by a first year coach and it wasn't close.

4) UCLA's schedule - UCLA had difficult matchups against Indiana, LSU, Oregon and Penn State. Their other matchups: Hawaii, Minneosta, Rutgers, Nebraska and Iowa. UCLA scored the second most points on their season against Nebraska.

• Beat Hawaii by 3
• Lost to Minnesota by 4
• Beat Rutgers by 3
• Beat Nebraska by 7
• Beat Iowa by 3 - Iowa was playing with multiple injured QBs and even played a LB at QB.

5) Tony White - I have no idea what his defensive gameplan was against UCLA's offense. Players were constantly out of position, players were taking bad angles, couldn't tackle in the open field. Tony White will be lucky to get the Head Coach job at Kennesaw State next year.

6) This needs to be repeated - Deshaun Foster is a first year head coach, Matt Rhule is a 12th year head coach. Deshaun Foster signed a 5 year contract earning $3,000,000 per year with a $100,000 annual increase. Matt Rhule signed an 8 year $74,000,000 contract and is in year 2 earning $6,500,000 with a $1,000,000 annual increase.

7) UCLA is improving every week, Nebraska is regressing every week.

I have 0 faith in Matt Rhule's ability to turn this program around.
