Not sure how many of them can be that devastating... Some of them have the "P" word, potential, but I'm not sure I can be too devastated.

I was put in Rivals Prison for a week for using a word sensitive people do not like... Free at last, but I think I found another board.

Maybe this has been posted, but when is the next time we will hear from Rhule, Dana, any players, etc.? Is there a media schedule during bowl prep? I'm not used to this time of year...

TIA

To watch the Bolts beat up on the Chiefs.👈😂

Dude is an animal!

Wish we could see a Detroit-Buffalo Super Bowl…

Looks like it will be a good showing for Nebraska

Question as I don't keep up the details of this stuff anymore. A few years back the BIG made a big deal about athletic scholarships being guaranteed for 4 years. I presume with the new 105 Roster Rule and myriad other changes that no longer applies. So most of these "I'm entering the Portal" posts occur because the players' schollies have been pulled?

Thanks in advance.

Nebraska, Minnesota, Penn St and Ohio St are the 4 teams in the B1G that are favored in their bowl games or playoff games.

Because scoring points is more important than playing good defense if you want to take a leap in wins. That doesn't mean I want a crap defense, but we've struggled on offense the past 5+ years and have nothing to show for it. We allowed less than 20 ppg on defense the past two seasons, but failed to score at least 30 ppg since 2018 - the same year we last had a 1,000 rusher. We have been pretty good at getting athletes on par with the teams in the B10 minus Ohio St and Oregon. We've lacked identity and just need to spin it around the yard with Raiola and the athletes around him. We don't have to run pure air raid but it is time to open it up and get points on the board.

QUIT playing patty cake with teams who want to limit possessions and win close games! We are getting beat by Illinois (L 4/5), Iowa (L 9/10), Minnesota (L 5/6), Wisconsin (L 9/10) for a reason.

2019: 28 ppg (5-7)
2020: 23 ppg (3-5)
2021: 27 ppg (3-9)
2022: 22 ppg (4-8)
2023: 18 ppg (5-7)
2024: 23 ppg (6-6)

Has to be one of the luckiest seasons of all time hahaha. Freaking DOINK off the upright to win.

I'm not even trying to knock them, they're the MASTER of the 4th quarter drive. Got the ball with 4:30ish left and drained the entire clock with LAC calling 3 timeouts. It's just a master work.

Real solid Olineman. 3 year starter and 4 year player. Freshman All American. Would start here day 1 clearly.

The one that got benched after the three game losing skid, not the one that has played recently.
