Rhule thought he could get good enough QB play out of Sims or maybe Purdy as placeholders for 2 years, while developing a young star for a break out season in year 3. It only goes up from there.

He didn’t count on those two being a complete train full of dumpster fires. So in comes Haarburg to manufacture some wins. Not great, really, not up to the task. Does not have the right skill set.

Fast forward to today and the plan is entirely different. Roll out the phenom and take your licks along the way.

Indiana exposed us, and now our confidence is rocked. Hopefully they can get some traction and eek out two more wins.

Fans won’t be thrilled, but having the non bowl streak end will inject some life into the fans and the team.

Regardless, changes among some assistants are absolutely non negotiable.

A player suing the NCAA for eligibility restrictions.
Wants 2 more years but if he wins there will be no more eligibility rules.
Are you ready for 30 or 35 year olds in College football that can't make the NFL?

From Oklahoman.com 11/24/17:

“Holgorsen and Riley were together on Mike Leach’s Texas Tech staff for five years, with Holgorsen's departure to Houston helping lead to a promotion for Riley.

“ ‘He was probably the guy on the Texas Tech staff all those years, along with Mike that I was closest with,” Riley said. “He's a tremendous coach. I've got a lot of respect for him. A great friend — was very, very helpful to me, certainly, as a young coach, so I owe him a lot. I've got a lot of gratitude.’”

Interesting twist for Saturday.

OC responsibilities aside I have to think this was the best thing to happen for that room...

We all have seen Dylan regress and have thought about the possibility that he'd leave so that he can grow into the NFL guy he dreams of being. Heinrich deserves credit for sticking it out in the worst of times... that said, I had always feared that Danny Kaelin wouldn't stick around long especially this year after what we've witnessed.

Fast forward, I have to believe there's a new sense of excitement for these guys. Was Glen Thomas "The Guy" that these fellas wanted? and where has his influence been seen other than HH playing well when the other team was in prevent? I Truly think that this is the most exciting thing our QB room has had since we all dorked out at the possibility when SF came here... One may have to go back to the Callahan Era to have this type of QB excitement/possibility

Trying my hardest not to get to ahead of myself and excited but man did this Offense need this!

ILL last night

only games we've won were when he was forced into a power football scheme

finesse playcaller producing finesse results

Saw a quote this week where Hunter said we've been their toughest opponent so far.

What the heck happened to our team????

Zach is proving a lot of the experts wrong. In a quick and large way. There is indeed still a place for a man his size.

Someone get demoted?

I know we have issues but FSU is 1-9 they will beat Charleston Southern next week. If he loses to Florida at home the last game does he survive a2-10 . Thoughts .

If you read Tim-Bits last week, you knew this was coming, Nebraska and Hayes decided to go different directions, he visited Kansas today and announced his commitment to the Jayhawks this evening

..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:
