Really impressed by Indiana

Thought they were more of a paper tiger, maybe they still are. They made some big time plays in the 1st half, where we had good coverage but the pass and catch were just outstanding. Impressive team.

But they execute at a very high level, better than anyone I've seen this year, just very few mistakes. Almost reminds me of a Bill Snyder team, bunch of transfers or JuCos that play well together, don't make mistakes but aren't the top athletes in the country.

Very impressive job done by their players and coaches. Fun team to watch when they aren't playing us, very interested to see how they do against tOSU.

OT: ok all you brainiacs out there, eat up

this is just an excerpt from a 4 hour Rogan episode.
i viewed this. have not yet viewed the full episode - although i will and cannot wait.
does not matter, btw that i really have no idea what they are talking about.

that said, i experience Weinstein to be a brilliant and highly educated technician. Howard to me is a more creative, outside-the-box thinker. i prefer the creative mind over those which are clearly masters of the rules of the game but may never have anything new to bring to the table.

enjoy. if you dare.

GBR!!!

Garrett McGuire need to go?

Why is he not getting any criticism? No experience before coming here, barely older than our players, looks like he's 16, and leads the most ineffective group on the team. Maybe we need to have him go to an analyst role and get a real receivers coach. WR's run bad routes, jog most of the time & rarely run full speed, commit penalties, can't block, can't win 50/50 balls, don't separate, allow db's to pick off balls.

Smoke and fire...

I heard two iterations regarding Foley. The sources are fairly reliable and seems to go in line with Rhule's desire to not make coaching changes during the season.

1) Foley's contract will not be renewed at the end of the season.
2) Foley has to show major improvement from now until the end of the season before assessing his contract at EOY.

Foley is not the only coach under the microscope. I hope like hell Rhule says screw it and boots his ass sooner than later.

tOSU spread opens at +25.5

tOSU coming off a bye and wanting to make a statement taking the field for the first time after the Oregon loss. Not a good spot for the Huskers and I will be pretty surprised if we cover that number. Not sure how we don't struggle mightily again on offense against the best defense we'll face this year.

I'd advise we all emotionally prepare for another 56-7 type of game, take it for what it is, and focus on getting bowl eligible in the last four. 7-5 is achievable, where most of us thought we'd be, and would be a successful year for this team/program to build off.
