The D played an inspired game.
We gave away a game where we were underdogs on the road, plus a board consensus that this was a penciled in loss at best.
Rhule may have no choice but to bench Grant. Why wasn’t Gabe on the field?
I think White knows who can make plays for him better than Satterfield does right now. Excepting Sims, of course.
On the road. Full stadium. New coach. It’s OK to be pissed, but a lot of kids played hard tonight and there is something to work with.

A number of our single digit players made serious mental errors last night/did not step up and make a play in crunch time.

Graham Mertz starts for Florida now and he's still a stiff. Napier is flirting with getting fired if that's all he has this year. John Rhys Plumlee can really run at UCF. Think he'll get hurt though during the season.

It was a bad game all-around. Both sides had a plethora of errors, but man, was this a crushing loss... I'm not scared for Colorado, but we cannot be leaning so hard into the passing game like that.

Better just knock down memorial, burn all the Husker apparel, kill your dog Herby, and schedule your weddings for game days.

I won money. Not sure I can do this for another 3 hours though. Just too much to take in as a fan.

My wife and I were able to sit with our family-daughter, her husband, their two boys and one of their friends. We had great seats on the fifty yard line half way up on the press box side. Last night's outcome was heart-breaking and disappointing and the loss still stings this morning. However, I saw an impressive defense and special teams play. We were striking people all night long. Without the critical turnovers that happened at critical times, we'd be celebrating an impressive debut of our new staff and our players. I support Coach Rhule this season, next season and into the future. He inherited a mess and it will take time. I appreciate his leadership, his approach and the way he has handled our program. I'm thankful that he is our coach. Go Big Red! 🏈🚩

They appear to have improved a ton and gone from a horrible liability a few years ago to just below average last year to an advantage this year. I thought the kick coverage was outstanding, and the rest of it was very good as well. Rahmir’s return got us right back in the game. My ratings would go;
Offense overall C-
Running game C+
Passing game D or F
Defense overall B+
Rush Defense A-
Pass defense B-
Special teams A

I've changed the lyrics of a popular song to - Let the gophers hit the floor!

@H2Oman is having a cigar and tequila.

Me, Busch Lattes bitches!

Let's git r dun tonight Huskers!

GBR

Now that the bullshit volleyball exhibition and our football season are over, it’s all we have to look forward to

Lord knows hoiberg’s team is going to suck yet again

Offense was turning it over a lot in camp
Rhule talked about the defense being good but never was effusive about the offense
Sims accuracy issues were a given when he transferred here
We don’t have any WRs

What we saw last night was what should have been expected

Defense played way better than I thought But that tracks with what Rhule was saying as well

This is gonna to take time

No tranny swimsuit for me! Only lost by 3 and not 21+

in that crime-infested city last night?

Thoughts and prayers

Our D battled, hit and swarmed. They deserve better.

4 turnovers and they gave up 13 points.

We will make a bowl game this year.

Its not Grant. Yes that fumble hurt but you can't win games in college football with 10 points

What's more of a concern is that our coaches went an entire off-season with Sims and our WR's and no red flags/warning bells went off.

They should have been throwing NIL's around to bring in some real talent. We aren't going to be scoring points this season.

Since sleeping off last night's Rhule's Frost-like debut doesn't seem to have made me feel any better, the only other option is to look forward.

Is it too soon to call the CU game a must win game? In order to keep the goal of going to a bowl game realistic, keep the apparently still fragile psychy of the team from bottoming out early in the season, and keep a desperate and exhausted fan base from gravitating to the ledge, it seems like one.

If CU plays TCU competitively this weekend, it seems like they are going to come into the game with more confidence than NU will. Nothing they saw watching NU play last night is going to put doubt in their heads, and Folsom is going to be a hostile environment for Deion's home debut. Hopefully, Rhule can show the team and the fans that he can instill the confidence, abilities, and execution to step on the throat of an opponent in the 4th quarter. Fair or not, NU isn't Temple or Baylor in terms of patience for a slow rebuild.

I’m not as deflated as others might be. I thought the defense played a solid game. You can’t keep turning the ball over and expecting the defense to bail you out. Turnovers and penalties killed some drives. Hope the coaches can get this fixed. Over three quarters of a century and still a HUSKER to the end.

@Zack Carpenter and @Steve Marik gave instant analysis of the last second loss to Minnesota.

The D did an excellent job of getting minne in third and long, but allowed the minne QB to covert too many third and longs. This was because they did not blitz and could not pressure Minne qb without blitze and minne qb had all night to throw. White should blitze on third and long IMO.

To Matt Rhule’s eyes, the offense is a bit ahead of the defense right now.

The QBs being live during Saturday’s scrimmage helped the offense win the day, and their legs were a big factor. Here’s more:

I say F all of them!!!! LFG!!! GBR!!!!!!!!!!

Yep you're right, rose colored glasses!

QB - D- - I won't go the full F because he did provide some things with his legs, but he's got to be better. WR's also have to help him out a little more, but hopefully Satterfield can get him to adjust.

RB - C- The part I liked is they all seemed to be going straight ahead this year. Not a lot of dancing, and getting upfield. All of the backs broke some tackles. Just keep chipping away.

OL - C- - I actually think there was a little improvement here. Benhart still is pretty bad, but Sims needs to help these guys out a little bit.

TE - C- - Seemed to block ok, but they were on the milk carton outside of that.

DL - B- -Outside of the pass rush they held up well. The youngsters held their own and I thought Nash and TRob (until the penalty) controlled their area

LB - A- -They made the plays they were supposed to. I thought all of them looked pretty damn good.

Secondary - B - Played pretty salty the entire game. Our safeties are dudes. The corners are good too and just had a couple minor breakdowns.

ST - B+ -Decent. Great kick return, seemed to be good on coverage. Made the only FG and Buschini was good

Offense - D+
Defense - B
ST - B+

The other good things were just the number of players that got on the field. This is going to go a long way in rebuilding. A lot of people saw the field last night and that is a positive.

Final thought - Still have no idea how that was not a TD right before half. Screw job.

IMO he needs to improve in managing his QB. Why all the passes for Sims? Why not continue to run in the 4th qtr when it was working? Hopefully he will improve in play desighn and play calling.

It will only get worse.
