We now have a nickname for HH. Uncle Rico...I've been trying to figure out who to compare Heinrich's side arm sling to and Zack nailed it in his article.

we had a huge number of recruits in for this game

Is it better to gamble and bring recruits in for a game against a team like Michigan where things can go off the rails pretty quick and the stadium is emptying out at halftime or wait until the NW and Purdue games where you have a higher likelihood of being competitive and providing a much better gameday experience?

Starting for Cincy

RB's. Kewan Lacy can step foot on campus and start next year. Emmett flashed,
but he also fumbled. Rahmir probably done. Gabe has injury issues and may be done. Grant will be gone. Fleeks gone. Kwinten Ives we haven't seen what he can do yet.
WR's. All our guys coming in. Jacory, McMorris, Clark, Hall and Smith. They will have every opportunity for playing time. We lose Kemp. We lost Betts. Lose IGC. Bullock is a possession guy. Washington will be gone. Doss and Malachi are getting reps because of all our injuries.
TE's. Fidone, Boerkircher and Ismael Smith Flores will be back. Bring N the 3 studs in this class and run many 2 TE sets.
O Line. We only lose Noureli but we need quality depth. Guys fighting for their jobs is needed.
QB's. Kaelin will be given every opportunity to play. Sims may be gone leaving us with zero depth behind HH. And I'm not sold on HH and his throwing ability. Need competition. May look to the portal for a QB and a RB.
Bottom line. Playing time is there for the guys coming N and the younger guys already here.
The offense is struggling and the recruits coming N need to upgrade a few spots.
The opportunity will be there. Just need a few young studs to step up really quick.
The D I am loving. Lots of young studs already getting quality reps. They will only get better with experience.

Time for another edition of the Conversations with Clouse live chat from 7-8pm. Let's see those questions.


Fire away!

Which running back just hit the Portal?

Too soon? Obviously Washington didn’t look good! Princewill looked dinged up after the sack….anyone else?

Wow geez they are head and shoulders better than Nebraska.

KU NIL is better.

Where the F did Nebraska go so far off the rails that KU would blow us off the rails.

Our offense is a freaking nightmare!! Penalties and turnovers. Get it cleaned up boys!!😔

I was pretty fired up when they showed the Nebraska sideline jumping up and going nuts (along with Illinois) before the opening kickoff. Question, what music were they playing? Does NU do that on the sidelines before home games?

I haven’t been back for a game in a couple years, but I’d love to see some up to date music in the stadium. I’m not saying to full Mikey Bo, but damn…can we play something newer than 1975?

Sooner Magic in the Red River Shootout.

Bama and A&M a good game so far. Bama just scored a TD

Went to the Wyoming/Fresno St game last night. Wyoming appeared to be a very well coach team and their quarterback is light years better than anything we have…and probably the O-line as well. Why can’t we have a quarterback at least as good as the Wyoming quarterback? As I watched the game I was dumbfounded by this thought… and realized what an absolute dumb ass Scott Frost and crew were when it came to recruiting. It’s hard to overstate how freeking terrible he was.

Anyone watch the end of this Miami game??

Emmett Johnson felt terrible about his late-game fumble. Matt Rhule picked him up on the sideline and told him to keep playing.

Sometimes the offense lines up wrong. Sometimes there's 12 players on the field. Rhule said it's not perfect. And yeah, it is frustrating.

"But it's a beautiful phase, watching young people do something, learn how to win and fight for each other," Rhule said. "And that's what you saw tonight."

After watching another error plagued Nebraska game....deciding a win is a win but......

I know I got it bad when I watch the Kansas game and wish for the day that Nebraska looks that good!

The fact that they were able to do what they did against our defense is evidence of how Michigan is an elite team.

I thought what Freeman for ND did by having 10 men for the final 2 plays against Ohio State was the worst coaching malpractice I’d ever seen.

Miami tops it.

Only had to kneel it out for the W up 20-17, inexplicably runs a play, fumble the ball back to GT, who scores with :01 to win.

Incredible.

Hats off to the kid last night in his first start. He played really well and created a much needed turnover. The kid has shown up on special teams, so I’m not that surprised by his play but it should be recognized. Well done young man!
