on Subprimes, fake drugstore cowboy hat.

I will give 1G to whoever can snag his hat and lay it at my feet when I attend the Illinois game in three weeks… I will even pay any associated bail, and/or attorneys fees were there to be such repercussions. I will need video confirmation…either network tv footage, or have buddy video you snagging it in the team hotel lobby, local restaurant, or wherever.

Dude, looks like such a wannabe, tool in that thing… bonus, if you stomp on his bad foot in the process.

Those who said we wouldn’t beat the spread! Go ahead and sign your name below, then take your lap !!!

Thought we might want to track former Huskers and NFL cuts.

Getting started:
Ochaun Mathis let go by the Rams

In sin city.
Good game so far

I think USC gets smoked tonight. And I think they don't get more than 7 wins this year (NU will have more). The Big 10 is going to show them physicality like they haven't seen in a long time. LSU will do the same.

If NU continues building and finishes 8-4 or better, will Judas slither in from College Station and try to take our coach?

Of course Elko's remaining salary plus Rhule's buyout is crazy, but aTm already did that once.

They should be forced to join a conference. If they don’t, they shouldn’t be eligible for the playoff…

Poll

Enjoyed writing this up. Give her a read!

So I’m in Chicago, headed to a concert and didn’t get to watch the game as close as I would have liked. But did see it. What were your observations?

To me it was mostly good stuff. Only real issues I noticed were Hartzog got picked on a little and Fidone seemed to struggle both blocking and passing. Also kicking game is still probably a question. But the most complete game we’ve had in a while.

Good:
Raiola did great. It's UTEP and he wasn't pressured but he played lights out. At least 3 of his incompletions were throw aways and drops.
Neyor - despite a bad drop in the end zone it's nice to see a real athlete at Wideout again
Oline did great. Will find out more next week.
RBs did their job. Nice shake and bake from Rahmir and Emmit. Dowdell looked really good until the fumble.
It's great to have enough depth to where we can sit those that turn the ball over. Last year we just didn't have the depth to do it. We didn't see Dowdell after the fumble.
Defensive line absolutely owned their OL particularly their left tackle.
DBs played pretty good. We'll find out about them next week.
7 points - that's a pretty good total against anyone for the defense
No interceptions
Harberg looked really solid in as a backup
We got a lot of time for the backups.
+1 in turnover battle!!!

Opportunities:
End of the half clock mgmt was head-scratching again. It worked out but that could hurt us again this year.
Would love to get the Tight Ends more involved.
Satt's playcalling was questionable. The first 10 or so scripted plays were great. We threw on first down too much considering we were running at will. Why is Harberg throwing the end zone fade? It didn't matter today but some adjustments need to be made IMO.

Up in my section of 606/607 we managed to crash one immediately which meant 25% less checkouts .

Also they didn't have programs at our concession stand this year. They had prefilled SOOO many cups of pop that the ice melted making it taste like diet pop.

Oh well we won and it was a beautiful day right?!!

Dylan looked great. GREAT. Especially for a true freshman. Normally, even in the best case scenario, coaches try to get their young players more reps early in the year. Today, we saw a true freshman qb sit for part of the 3rd and all the 4th quarter so that last years best qb could get some time. If that isn’t confidence from the coaches in Dylan then I don’t know what is. If Rhule is more concerned about protecting Dylan like he’s a veteran than he is with getting him game ready….let’s go. I’m all in on the Rhule aid.

should’ve been called for targeting…dude lead with his helmet, knocking Dillon’s helmet off. Made heavy contact on the crown.
Doesn’t really make it for difference at this point, but God I wish they’d make those calls consistent…or better yet, do away with them altogether.

Time for the latest editions of the Conversations with Clouse live chat from 7-8pm.

Fire away with those questions!

where are all the Satterfield hate threads? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Amazing what a coach can accomplish when he actually has players with whom to work.

Would be nice to get a second corner established so we could move Buford back to the other safety and hartzog to special teams

Based on the overall RB chatter leading up to the first game, I doubt many thought Dowdell would get the majority of the 1st quarter carries. He did, and was running the ball well, including our first TD of the season and the 12 yard run fumbled on.

When he got the second carry of the game, I thoughht "someone must have fumbled in practice leading up to the game," opening the door for Dante. Rhule talked about all 4 RB's being rather equal, but said things would separate as the season went on. Rhule has also talked so much about protecting the ball and a player getting yanked if he turned it over.

I'm pretty sure DD didn't return to the game after his fumble. I feel for him and hope he gets another crack at it, but you just can turn it over, especially after last year's fumble-mania.

Ran by himself down to SW stadium and pumped up the crowd. I felt it told me a few things...

One, he was ready to go in so many ways as we have heard.
Two, it told me he loves this place and of course that validates why he's here.
Three, he knows the fans love him and wasn't afraid to soak it in some.
Four, he knows we as a fanbase are hungry and he wants us to know things are changing around here.
Five, he was having fun.

And he played like it

We will see! (As of 08/31/24)
