I respect Trev for putting all the resources into volleyball. There is no way he is using resources for football with a qb that can’t throw the football.

Sorry but tigers do not change their stripes. You cannot win with these two. If they are going to push the self- detruct button, it does not matter their positives. Bench them both, even after game 1.

this whole roster

if Nebraska loses the snowda game by 21+, do you check out for the rest of the season? would you still have confidence in achieving a .500 season minimum?

The good: 1) Obviously the defense. I don't know if the defense is really that good or Minnesota lacks offensive playmakers. I think both. But it was impressive knowing the offense was a turnover machine and couldn't sustain drives. 2) The OL looks better overall. It's hard to be worse but overall they looked better than in previous seasons. 3) The running game. Minnesota has a decent run defense and NU was able to move the ball for the most part on the ground including the QB runs.
The Bad: 1) Sims: It's great that he can run but he does not look like a guy that could be drafted. Inaccurate and telegraphs his throws. 2) The receiving corps does not have a player like Trey Palmer and the loss of Betts hurts a lot. This team will have to own the line of scrimmage to be successful. 3) Crucial mental errors are still a problem. Targeting, face mask, etc. False starts at key moments that kill drives. This is improved and we didn't see all the moronic stuff of the Frost years, but it has to get better to win close games.

Overall I think Minnesota has a better roster and the game was at Minnesota. The passing game and the turnovers have to get better or this will be a difficult year. Purdy and Haarberg should get plenty of opportunities to win the QB job.

In D1 athletics. Quite possibly in all of women’s athletics. Pretty amazing feat. They earned it. EARNED IT. Good for these girls, good on Coach Cook.

is at least a little different feel.

The new staff still hasn't fixed the mental breakdowns. I was thinking 8-9 wins, now hoping for 5

Go back to Carolina.

And we still lay eggs all over the field. I just don’t understand it. I’m gonna give this a chance but man there was a lot of head scratchers and I only watched the fourth quarter.

Another one score loss. That’s number 26 I believe.

Let's say that Sims has a great season. If that happens, he's likely going to forgo his last season and declare for the draft.

If Smothers doesn't come back, or maybe even if he does, that likely means another portal guy next season or ... maybe the coaches know something we don't about Dylan Raiola.

I've been thinking about this a lot. Dominic Raiola and Alberts likely have a strong connection since they played during the same era even though Trev left before Dom arrived. Alberts isn't stupid and has to know that signing Dylan would be a game changer for the program.

If Raiola commits (or has silently committed) everyone knows there are a number of **** and ***** who will come with him -- especially given Rhule's reputation for putting players in the league.

If Raiola were a silent commit, why keep it a secret? Let's say things don't go as planned this fall and the Huskers don't make the qualitative leap Alberts expects. Decommitting from a second program wouldn't be a good look for Raiola's future.

I understand, of course, that this theory has nothing to do with Thompson leaving. I'm convinced Casey left because he knows he has to have a strong season to have a chance at the next level.

These thoughts are all pure, and perhaps hopeful, speculation on my part. But ... it's the off season and fans with 54 year tenures and active reasoning skills need something to do, right? Right?

I don’t how this fan base can take it anymore.

Nothing more to say.

If Grant has to pay the consequences for turning the ball over, shouldn’t Sims as well?? If Rhule is a man Of his word and is serious about protecting the football, Chubba starts Colorado.

Up until that fumble by Grant, it looked as though the Huskers might pull it out. But losing is a hard thing to overcome when that's all you're used to.

Sims simply cannot play like that against colorado, if he does you have to figure on a qb change, but coaches are stubborn as we know.

Both O and D got better in the second half but those mistakes, those mistakes.

Going to take a minute to get rid of that culture. Probably after this year because Sims > Thompson is looking like the worst call I've ever seen. That's on Rhule. So is allowing Anthony Grant in the game with known TO problems.

But I did think the D looked good. That was just a great route and catch for the TD. Must be nice to have a player make a big play in a big moment. Until next next year, I'm afraid...

Huge 🤡

Nobody steps up and somebody else chokes.. GBR

New year, same results

The one thing I really wanted to see out of this years team was to stop the snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Lose best dlineman to targeting we then come up with a big play int. In the past the defense would have collapsed

Final score predictions and picks around the country from our staff for Week 1 are below. Our CFB picks will be a season-long competition so let's ride, fellas! @Steve Marik @Greg Smith @GeoffExstrom @jansencoburn

If anyone wants to join in and drop their picks against the spread in here, I can jot 'em down and see how we all stack up...

New era, new game day meal ritual for me. Going with wings and Peroni beer. LFG!

Whatcha got?

Lol. Thank god the defense has broke yet. But giving them 1 min of rest is a huge issue.

He’s good.
