Are the Jets and Sharks getting ready to rumble?

I saw that Keyshawn J said other coaches helped the Ducks gameplan against the Buffs. Like you need Buddy Ryan/Bill Belichick to watch film to know that their oline doesnt block anyone...they cant run the ball and your athletes in the secondary can lock down their receivers.

Like Lincoln Riley called up Lanning and game planned against their bottom feeder defense. It is just comical and insulting to Lanning who is a good coach. Maybe....just maybe....Ducks have better athletes especially on the lines.....Ducks are alot tougher and the Ducks wanted to knock in Prime's teeth......so he quits talking

Easiest $500 I have ever made.....until the Chiefs- Bears game.......Christmas sure came early this year.

USC at 28 is probably too much........but sure wouldnt mind seeing it happen....

Great stuff from John Cook today. He talks the coaching return of Jordan Larsonwho comes back to Lincoln after helping the U.S. National Team qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympics. Plus, Cook previews the upcoming weekend against No. 17 Purdue and Indiana.

The Wolverine offense is one of the nation's most efficient passing attacks, completing better than 77 percent of its attempts.

Nebraska defeated Michigan 32-28 in the 2005 Alamo Bowl, when it was lead by quarterback Zac Taylor, the current head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals.

LAST MEETING
November 12, 2022

Michigan 34, Nebraska 3

Ann Arbor - Nebraska got a second-quarter field goal to pull within 14-3, but the Huskers were unable to get any closer as No. 3 Michigan battled its way to a 34-3 win over the Huskers at the Big House in Ann Arbor, Mich., on Saturday afternoon.

Although Nebraska capped a 12-play, 55-yard drive with a 37-yard Timmy Bleekrode field goal with 4:10 left in the first half, the Huskers lost starting quarterback Chubba Purdy late in the drive following Purdy's first-down gaining run. Purdy, who made his second straight start in place of an injured Casey Thompson, ended his day with a team-high 39 rushing yards on five carries, while completing 6-of-12 passes for 56 yards.

Logan Smothers came on in relief of Purdy and completed 4-of-8 passes for 15 yards the rest of the way, while adding one yard on four rushing attempts against a stout and aggressive Michigan defense. For the game, Nebraska (3-7) managed just 146 total yards against the Wolverines.

Michigan (10-0) controlled the game with its defense and a powerful running game that featured 162 yards on 28 carries from Blake Corum, including a two-yard touchdown run in the first quarter to give the Wolverines a 7-0 lead. C.J. Stokes added 68 yards on eight carries for the Wolverines, who amassed 264 yards on the ground among their 412 yards of total offense.

Nebraska's defense limited Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy to 129 yards on just 8-of-17 passing, including four connections for 72 yards to Ronnie Bell, who pulled down a nine-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter that gave the Wolverines a 14-0 lead.

The Huskers responded following Michigan's second score, as Purdy opened the ensuing drive with a 13-yard run. Three plays later, Purdy completed a 13-yard pass on 3rd-and-6 to Alante Brown, who finished the play with a highlight reel hurdle to convert for a Big Red first down.

On the next play, Nebraska moved 15 yards on a roughing the passer penalty on Michigan, before Purdy picked up seven more yards on the ground. Purdy made another third-down play with his legs, scampering eight yards on 3rd and 3 to set the Huskers up with a 1st and 10 at the Michigan 15. But Purdy was injured on a half slide at the end of the run and did not return.

Smothers came in and finished off the drive with the final three plays from scrimmage to set up Bleekrode's 37-yard field goal cut the Michigan margin to 14-3.

MIchigan responded with a 30-yard Jake Moody field goal to end the half with a 17-3 lead, then outscored the Huskers 17-0 in the second half.

Ernest Hausmann led the Nebraska defense with a career-high 10 tackles, including a sack, while Luke Reimer matched Hausmann with 10 tackles of his own.

Neither team committed a turnover, and the two squads combined for just five penalties for 45 yards in the contest.

Here's this week's Checkdown, where I talk about whatever caught my attention from the previous game.

Today, we're talking that big 22 personnel set the Husker offense used:

Joshua Dobbs looking good. Cowboys look the same to me. Good players everywhere, not gonna win the NFC.

B1G champion will get in - Michigan, Penn St, or Ohio St
Texas or Oklahoma winner will probably get in

Then it gets tricky, especially if Georgia gets a loss. Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Texas, Oklahoma, Florida St, Notre Dame or even another team from the B1G or PAC.

Looking like this could be the year the SEC gets left out, at least the best chance of it.

I caught up with Jones last night to discuss his Notre Dame visit and get an update on his recruitment. He said that he plans on taking a game day visit to Lincoln this upcoming weekend...

Seems like sports media has shifted their obsession from Deion Sanders to this new celebrity relationship for some reason. Do you have any thoughts? As a football fan do you care?

Positives:

1) Haarberg: Wow. Considering our first two games, his arrival has been a joy. Like any new qb, there are things to work on, but really love what he is doing.

2) Fidone: There were times where I wondered if he would ever arrive, but now that he has I am really pleased. Big, fast, sure handed target.

3) Grant: This guy was finding tiny holes that didn’t seem to exist and breaking away. Awesome rb.

4) Tony White and our whole defense: Really no negatives with any aspect of this. They didn’t get help from the offense the first two games, but what this crew is doing so far is amazing.

5) Buschini: Doing awesome. This guy is going to make a huge difference in field position battles with our defense.



Concerns (negatives seemed harsh):

1) O line: With their run blocking and pass blocking issues I recalled the line from the Bobs in Office Space: “What would you say you do here?”

2) WR: Not sure who is going to be the primary threat here. No one has really emerged and there have been drops too.

3) Field goals: We looked a little shaky here though the fake was beautiful.

A flaming ball of shit. Jesus, flipping around and Northwestern took the fighting PJ’s to OT.

Time to hand out the PFF snap counts and grades from this week's 28-14 Nebraska win over Louisiana Tech. Some very up-and-down performances this week including continued success from Javin Wright and some atrocious performances from the offensive line.

I know I said on here that he should move to OG, but he obviously was not being put in a position to succeed by the previous defensive staff. way to show out big man.
