This offense so butt

How many damned gaps in our coverage are we going to leave? It's absurd. Tony White needs to figure this shit out or we will be a two to three loss team every year simply because of the defense. Of course I know our offense is putrid. That opening drive was terrible. But we gave up over 100+ yards to UCLA on the first two drives. I know Butler is new this year but come on coaches get your shit together.

...if we win Saturday and the weight of bowl eligible goes away, I think we play MUCH better the last three games....

Not rocket science, but it HAS to be a thought...

I can’t remember a time that we actually didn’t fail catch the bail!! They have to give u room for the catch!! If you are afraid to get hit then get the F out!! I shake my head at the lost yards

In volleyball it doesn't get any better than Huskers vs Badgers. I hope tonight is the start of a great Husker weekend.

Rankings at the beginning of the season are meaningless. FSU was a top-10 team at the start of the year. They are dogshit. Can we stop with the endless poo pooing over the "last time NU beat a ranked team"?

Yes, NU needs to get its offense rolling but the BS dating back to the Pelini/Riley/Frost days needs to stop.

Has missed some passes lately. What do?

Well-written article on PSU's OC Andy Kotelnicki, and how he's changed the game for them:


It has taken Franklin 6 tries to potentially get it right, but he was willing to make changes, so credit to him.

Every time Nebraska plays following a game that’s being played. It always goes into overtime? Every time.

Not to rag on our armed forces, but I’m not convinced they’re deserving of the #21 national ranking.

#21 Army (7-0) has faced one team with a winning record this season, that being FCS Lehigh who is sitting at (4-3). Of their 6 FBS opponents, they have a combined record of 15 wins and 39 losses. Not one opponent they have faced has a record above 500.

I honestly didn't know that it could get overturned. Game day just said the guy that got ejected in our game was cleared to play today.

So they review it in the game and say it's targeting but then later decide it wasn't so no suspension. Crazy

literally. Dumb-ass blows his hand off with a cherry bomb…

Warning: Quite graphic! If you’re squeamish, do not watch, & then bitch about it…

***UPDATE***

There it is!

FINAL: #2 Nebraska SWEEPS #7 Wisconsin (25-21, 25-22, 25-19) on the road. Incredible.

The Huskers (21-1 overall, 11-0 Big Ten) win in Madison for the first time in 11 YEARS as they sweep the Badgers (15-5, 9-2) in a Top 10 national showdown.

Will Nebraska be ranked No. 1 in the country on Monday? Certainly will be under consideration. But Pittsburgh (51 first-place votes in latest Top 25) swept Virginia tonight and will certainly beat Virginia Tech (7-14) on Sunday just like Nebraska (9 first-place votes) will certainly beat Northwestern on Sunday.

So...we'll see!

Big one coming up tonight, boys and girls. I'll re-title this later today to make it the live game thread. But, for now, some updates from the Husker VB account + presser videos of John Cook, Andi Jackson and Bergen Reilly previewing the Nebraska-Wisconsin showdown are all ITT.

Hope this is the game were that last block is made, just that last little bit of execution that has been needed finally happens and the offense breaks out and looks good. Raiola hasn't had a great game, maybe today is the day, 300 yards, multiple TDs, 100 yard WR, 200 yards rushing from the RBs. Sure would take some pressure of the defense and help set up these last 4 games to be wins.

A US Olympic volleyball training center has just been agreed to and will be built in Gretna by Nebraska Crossing. Jon Cook to head it up.

Nebraska volleyball is a movement.

My Niece is celebrating her son's 1st birthday today. I'll be able to watch the end of the game when I arrive but I'll be on the road to Kingman at the start of the game.

Joel Embiid, who has never been to a Finals, is mad that fans want him to actually play in games.

According to Matt Rhule, starting DB Malcolm Hartzog Jr. will likely miss the UCLA game with a hamstring injury he sustained late in the game at Ohio State.

"Malcolm's doing his best to get back but I don't think that he will."

Rhule said he's still not sure if Tommi Hill will be able to play. He didn't practice Tuesday, practiced "a little bit" on Wednesday.

Big week for redshirt freshman Jeremiah Charles, who backed up Hartzog at corner against the Buckeyes.

"We're planning on Jeremiah to start," Rhule said.

67.86%.

only 28 teams visit the redzone more often than us yet only 3 score less often.

we've made 32 trips so far and come away with just 17 TDs. we're 5-8 in red zone FGAs.

10 completely empty redzone possessions. at or near tops in the country.

why nobody is discussing this, I have no idea.

I don't know enough to really say if such a "ranking" is even possible - and so much may depend on situational factors - but I am talking more long term, overall type of discussion ... NFL draft boards if you had 31 of the same relatively talented players available
