Interesting defense stat.

The defense gave up 6 rushing TDs all season. I think all 6 came against Indiana. No team scored a rushing TD against them at home. That is defending your home turf. They kept Iowa out last night.

I only see two other teams with fewer rushing TDs against the defense.

PSU has surrendered only 5, still playing today could change

Iowa surrendered 3, one of them was Nebraska.

In retrospect Deion was right to culture cancel

The Iowa game was a perfect example of beating yourself cause your mentally weaker than your opponent and expect to lose.

Rhule should have gutted the program and exorcised the loser mentality that has been permitted to exist here ala Sander's style in Boulder.
Now we have a freshman QB doing the undone at multiple games' end this year. Granted he's a freshman, but still he hasn't had 1 game winning final drive this year. The Nebraska way has entered into his head. Should of cancelled the culture before he showed up here.

Despite that I'm stupid enough to have already booked my winter vacation to Nashville. I will be interested in how the young players mentally respond and move on from this debacle.
PLAYERS MAKE THE PLAYS WINNERS WIN LOSERS LOSE it's not hard to see where NU football is currently at

Rhule is a gifted speaker, but

he was hired to be a gifted coach. Maybe the massive contract took away any sense of urgency for him, but he completely misread the mood of the fan base.

The Rhule era doesn’t feel on track at all. I don’t care about the Who Gives a Sh*t Bowl. 6 wins isn’t great, and what kills me is we left at least 3-4 other wins out there this season with poor coaching, particularly on offense and special teams.

Our defense overall was good; please retain our dc. Beyond that, everything needs to be under the microscope.

This was just another forgettable year by a program that hasn’t done anything memorable in decades.

Offseason tells the truth

1. Most Pivotal- Can they get IMPACT players out of the portal. They must get real weapons. No average starters or place fillers. Our portal players on offense are merely capable stand-ins who can't catch balls that aren't right on them. Can't waste Portal schollies on stand-ins. It's why we're 6-6

2. Relieve the right coaches of their duties. No reassignment. Satt, McGuire, Barthel, and Thomas need to be given nice recxomendations to their bosses in the MAC next year. Need guys who are going somewhere. Schemers and grinders who are dare I Say: "Gorilla Minded." Average coaches. Its why we're 6-6.

3. Honest and Accurate player evaluation. Gotta cut 50 guys. Most will move on their own. But Mason Wald is still secretly on this football team somewhere. Its ias much a science as it is an art. Player evaluation. Its why we're 6-6.'

Nobody cares, work harder

Should be the motto next year.

Stop tolerating bad snaps, dropped passes, missed open receivers. Remember when Mickey said the WRs would be catching 10,000 passes in the offseason? That’s what it takes.

I don’t care about coaches running the stairs or Oklahoma drills before kickoff. I care that we play with fundamentals and excellent technique.

is it possible for Nebraska to have a killer instinct passing the ball?

I remember when Nebraska would hold onto the ball, run it down the middle, score, chew up clock, move chains and have the defense on the sidelines getting beauty sleep.
all the while firmly in controll of the game and geting back ups playing time..

the last 2 decades of pass happy ball we seem to get up by the max of ten points (unless we are playing north west state school for the pasteries), then go 3 and out and have our defense playing uphill all game..
then every 4th quarter is a scramble to have a hope and prayer to stay in the game, ending in poor clock management and defeat...
