That may feel like being the skinniest kid at fat camp but our defense is good enough to win the west this year.

I don’t disagree with Rhule that our team is better than what they look like the past two games. I think our O is serviceable but has zero chance to show it due to Sims’ lack of football IQ.

The challenge for the coaching staff is you have to make a decision at QB to determine if they are going to let their pride completely shred the morale of the team or if they are going to eat some humble pie and at the very least hold him accountable by benching him if this continues.

I’m not saying he has to name HH the starter but make HH playing a possibility at the very least.

The West is absolutely a dumpster fire - we could go on a nice run after Michigan.

I'm a huge Rhule fan. He's done everything correct except one thing. He let Thompson walk and attached the wagon to Simms. That's turning into a dreadful decision. Casey at QB and I truly believe we are 2-0 right now.

Just checked Northern Illinois schedule to see how they’re doing this year. Guess they upset Boston College on the road, then lost to Southern Illinois at home. Doesn’t really matter….. I’m posting because there was a hyperlink saying “buy tickets” next to their scheduled game w Nebraska, so I clicked it to check the price.

Cheapest ticket was $38. Lol. I know some of y’all are season ticket holders, so you’re locked in, but who TF is buying these tickets?

Poor officiating.

The crew didn't have an agenda, they explained their calls well (unlike last week), and certainly didn't try to assert themselves into the game.
Maybe they too were distracted by one coach being a showboat and the other one making such egregious personel decisions they figured we didn't need penalties.

A couple choices IMO.

Continue on with what you worked on all offseason with this NFL style while protecting Simms deficiencies.
(If you can’t thump Colorado it won’t work in the Big10)

Or
Realize you have 2 RB’s playing QB and use their strengths.
Quit protecting and win the games you can. Rotate these guys to keep them fresh. Simms is a specimen and is the best athlete on the team. Let him go and maybe he can find a role in the NFL other than QB.
This needs to be a Single Wing type team. More modern era Auburn(Mahlzan) or Oregon.
This Team can’t thump anyone with this line. Believe it or not Frost would be the perfect OC for this. He was a good OC, that’s all.

If we keep protecting these guys we won’t win anything. Players want to play, they will do it.

In a Green Bay Packers receiver room garnering a lot of attention this offseason, mostly due to the inexperience at the position, perhaps forgotten about at times is 2022 seventh-round pick Samori Toure. Much of the outside attention is on Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, and three incoming rookies. However, inside Lambeau Field, everyone is taking notice of Toure.

In his one season at Nebraska, Toure was a home run threat, averaging 19.5 yards per catch while ranking 10th in total deep receiving yards, according to PFF.
This offseason we’ve heard GM Brian Gutekunst bring up Samori Toure unprompted when discussing the receiver room. Then Matt LaFleur did it. And most recently, wide receivers coach Jason Vrable while meeting with reporters on Thursday. To put it simply, Toure is turning heads this offseason.

“If you guys would see Samori right now, you wouldn’t even recognize the guy from last year with this growth,” said Vrable. “He’s probably, of everybody, the one that everyone around the building is like ’83 looks unbelievable right now.’ He’s put on 8-10 pounds, he’s worked his butt off, and he’s grown into his own, so you feel comfortable in your own skin. Then you play fast, and you play with confidence, and that’s all you really want.”

This season, Toure’s role is likely to expand. With added weight, that could help him hold up better as a blocker in the run game, an aspect that we know is important to playing the receiver position in this offseason. But he can also provide the Packers with an additional downfield threat.

Got to be one of the weirder Achilles heels in sports. They lost to them last year as well.

The OT is ready for his OV to Nebraska. He’ll make his commitment on Sept 24. Texas is the favorite going into the visit.

31-22.

A lot of negatives from yesterday’s loss to Colorado. Still, a good number of positive performances from a couple guys on offense and several on defense:

Who ya got. Niners have the QB edge. Niners maybe other skill players edge.

First career TD! Cheering for him. Oh how we miss you.

Whisky leading 7-3 at end of the 1st. I like WSU QB so far.

Postgame notes from the university

Nebraska Football Postgame Notes - at Colorado (September 9, 2023)

- Today's game was the 72nd all-time meeting between Nebraska and Colorado and the third since 2019. Colorado's victory was the Buffs' third straight in the series. Nebraska now holds a 49-21-2 all-time lead in the series, including a 23-12-2 lead in Boulder.

- Sophomore running back Gabe Ervin rushed 17 times for 74 yards, setting career highs in rushing yards and carries. Ervin's previous high rushing total was 60 yards last season in a loss to Oklahoma. Ervin had eclipsed his previous high before halftime with 14 rushes for 73 yards in the first half. His previous high for carries was 12 at Illinois in 2021.

- Alex (WR) and John Bullock (LB) both started the game, marking the first time brothers have started the same game for Nebraska since 2019 at Iowa, when Carlos and Khalil Davis both started on the defensive line.

- Additionally, the Bullocks are the first brothers to start the same game on different sides of the ball since Keith (I-back) and Lee (defensive line) Jones started on opposite sides of the ball against Utah State on Sept. 5, 1987.

- Nebraska's defense had eight sacks and 11 tackles for loss. The 11 TFL are Nebraska's most since the Huskers had 12 against Colorado in 2018. Before today, the last time Nebraska had at least seven sacks in a game was that same contest against Colorado in 2018, when the Huskers recorded seven sacks.

- True freshman defensive lineman Cameron Lenhardt had two sacks for eight yards in the first half, marking his first two career sacks. Lenhardt is the first true freshman to record two sacks in a game since defensive end Barry Turner had two sacks at Baylor in 2005. The last time any freshman had two sacks in a game was redshirt freshman Freedom Akinmoladun who had two sacks against Southern Mississippi in 2015.

- Fellow true freshman Riley Van Poppel added a half-sack in the third quarter for his first career sack.

- Jimari Butler and Tamon Lynum also recorded their first career sacks in the fourth quarter. Lynum forced a fumble on his sack that was recovered by true freshman Sua Lefotu.

- Linebacker Nick Henrich had a 13-yard sack in the first quarter for his first solo sack of his career. He added a 2-yard sack in the second quarter.

- Senior linebacker Luke Reimer had 1.5 sacks in the game, setting a career high in sacks. His previous high was 1.0 sacks in five games.

- Quarterback Jeff Sims had a 57-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, marking his career long rush. His previous long was 50 yards vs. North Carolina in 2021, while Sims was playing at Georgia Tech.

- Thomas Fidone II caught two passes for 13 yards, the first catches of his career. He caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from Heinrich Haarberg on the game's final play, marking the first career touchdown for Fidone and first career touchdown pass for Haarberg.

- Offensive tackle Turner Corcoran made his 25th consecutive start on Saturday

- Today's game's captains were QB Jeff Sims, OG Ethan Piper, LB Luke Reimer and S Isaac Gifford

A multi time national champion, blue blood football program has been playing in the stadium for 100 years but John Cook believes the volleyball program has set the standard for atmosphere in the stadium

Not the 78 or 01 Oklahoma games - not the 94 Colorado game or any other of the legendary games played in that stadium but rather one exhibition volleyball game is the standard

A few suggestions for going forward:

1) Play Teddy

2) Get Fleeks and Washington more involved in the passing game

3) Move Tommy Hill to WR

4) Give more snaps to Lenhardt and Princewell

5) Continue to start Sims. HH or Purdy would also probably turn the ball over (via interceptions) and they are much less experienced than Sims with the offense. There will be games where Sims does not turn the ball over, and those games we probably win. I don't think you can say the same about HH or Purdy at this point.
