Can cause a real attitude issue when players feel they aren’t playing nor getting the attention the desire. And it’s harder now that they all have money in their pockets and the Portal looks attractive.

This stuff happens in the corporate world every day. College Football teams are not exempt.

Without a strong finish to the season, the bloom is somewhat off the rose and I’ll be looking for some unwanted attrition.

We VERY nearly got our third exact final score prediction and one-year sub winner of the season and fourth all-time.

@jamina5 was just one point away with a USC 27, Nebraska 20 final call. Special mention to @Interloper for getting the final score exactly correct but having the wrong winner prediction.

One thing DONU can boast is that they are the only program in college football history to have back to back 100 win decades 80's and 90's

In the 80s we have the best winning record for that decase and even though we won 100+ game in the 90's, Florida St had the best record by 2 games or so.

Illinois & New York need to start pulling their weight and do a better job of producing good HS football players. It's crazy how view good ones they produce, considering they're like the 4th & 6 most populated states.

Am I missing something? I understand a tiny bit with NY as it's not as popular there I guess... But WTF Illinois?

Maybe I'm an idiot and there's a valid reason but it seems ridiculous. In order for the B1G to catch up with the SEC or even surpass them we need the populous states in the upper MW and NE to do better with HS FB.

we need a lot less feelings and so, so much more of this in North Stadium

Hi Brother Scrollers,

Do you all remember back like around March/April when someone posted a thread that their wife/gf kept accidentally calling him his neighbors name during love making and he was suspicious?

With the current state of our athletic programs (shambles), I figured now would be a great time to revisit this Scrollers predicament and get a much needed update. Is he still married/together? Do they now swing with the neighbor? I feel answers to these questions will really cheer me up. However, I have been unable to locate the thread. The closest I could find was a @got carl? thread where he pretended to be the neighbor (I tried searching for cuck, neighbor, and wrong name)

Someone help me out. Get the OP ITT stat


UPDATE: Got an update via DM from @Huskers1995!

It wasn’t my wife, it was my girlfriend. We broke up in August bc she was banging the neighbor (who was married). Haven’t talked to her since. Threw her shit out on the lawn and locked all doors. Got a new girl now. Started dating her this past month.

Per sources, it's trending toward WR Malachi Coleman entering the portal on Dec. 9. Rhule was asked about Coleman today.

Here's Rhule's comment:

"I don't know that it's appropriate on a Thursday of a game week to be talking about redshirting players. I don't think that's fair to our seniors."

3:21 mark if you want to watch it:

I know our Defense struggles to get crucial stops, especially on 3rd downs, but this speaks volume as to the reason we’re sitting at 5-5 and have a new OC nine games into the season.

Login to view embedded media

Here's a quick rundown of Rhule's time at the podium today:

> Nebraska's defense can't have the communication breakdowns like it did at USC
> Rhule mum on status of sophomore WR Malachi Coleman
> Nebraska's offense might be getting Rahmir Johnson back, but in a limited role
> Quinn Clark has impressed as the season has gone on
> Holgorsen is "putting a lot of pressure on the guys"


For those unfamiliar with Quinn Clark, here's the feature I wrote on him in May.

“I’m thinking to myself, this kid is a freak,” Bozeman (Mont.) Gallatin OC JP Flynn told Inside Nebraska of Clark. “And it was funny, one of the track coaches comes up, an older guy with kind of a deep, grumbly voice, and he goes, ‘Gosh, we got ourselves one genetic freak show here, don’t we?’”:

A simple poll to gauge the confidence of RSS.

If yes, do we beat Wisconsin, Iowa, or both?

The game will kick off shortly after 2:30 p.m. CT in Lincoln with BTN providing the television coverage. The contest can also be heard on the Huskers Radio Network and the Huskers App.

In addition to completing its home schedule, Nebraska will also pay tribute to more than 20 players in pre-game Senior Day festivities.

The Huskers stand at 5-5 on the season and 2-5 in Big Ten play after a third consecutive one-score loss last Saturday at USC. The Huskers battled the Trojans for four quarters at the Coliseum, with a late USC touchdown giving the Trojans a 28-20 lead. Nebraska drove deep into USC territory in the game's final seconds before an interception in the end zone on the game's final play ended the Huskers' chances.

Wisconsin comes to Lincoln with a 5-5 record and 3-4 mark in Big Ten Conference action. The Badgers dropped a hard-fought contest to top-ranked Oregon on Saturday night in Madison, falling 16-13. Wisconsin led the game 10-6 at the half and had an opportunity to win until the game's final two minutes. Coach Luke Fickell's squad has faced one of the nation's most demanding schedules with three of their losses coming against teams currently ranked in the nation's top 10. The Badgers feature a tough defense, allowing 326.5 yards per game. Wisconsin is also among the nation's least penalized teams, ranking in the top 10 nationally in fewest penalty yards per game.

SERIES HISTORY
Nebraska and Wisconsin are meeting for the 10th time in the past 11 seasons.

- Nebraska and Wisconsin play for the Freedom Trophy each season, a trophy that debuted for the 2014 game.

- Following this week's meeting, Nebraska and Wisconsin are not scheduled to meet in the 2025 or 2026 seasons.

- This will mark the third straight meeting in the series pitting unranked teams, after one of the two teams was ranked in 13 of the previous 14 meetings.

- Nebraska's victories in 1965 and 1966 featured linebacker Barry Alvarez who went on to be Wisconsin's head coach and athletic director.

HUSKERS TO RECOGNIZE SENIORS ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON

- The group of seniors is headlined by five players who are in their sixth year with the Nebraska program.

LAST MEETING: NOVEMBER 18, 2023

WISCONSIN 24, NEBRASKA 17 (OT)

Madison - Tristan Alvano sent the game to overtime with his 30-yard field goal with four seconds left, but the Nebraska football team came up short in a 24-17 overtime loss to Wisconsin at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday night.

Nebraska slipped to 5-6 overall and 3-5 in the Big Ten, while Wisconsin improved to 6-5 and 4-4 in the conference.

Nebraska jumped to a 14-0 first-quarter lead only to see Wisconsin score 17 unanswered points. But Chubba Purdy led Nebraska on game-tying final drive in the final 3:37 that resulted in Alvano's field goal to send the game to overtime tied at 17.

The final drive for the Huskers covered 68 yards in nine plays, nearly all on the ground, after being helped by an initial defensive holding penalty on the Badgers. Emmit Johnscon, who finished with 50 yards on 13 carries, covered 25 yards on four totes while Purdy added 28 yards on two carries.

The Huskers won the overtime toss, giving Wisconsin the ball. Nebraska forced the Badgers into a 4th-and-1 at the 5, but Wisconsin was able to convert. On the next play, Braelon Allen barrelled into the end zone in between the push of the Wisconsin offensive line to give the Badgers a 24-17 lead.

Purdy and the Huskers were unable to convert on their overtime possession, as the game ended with a Wisconsin interception on 4th-and-16 at the 4.

Purdy, a sophomore from Queen Creek, Ariz., making his first start of the season, completed 15-of-23 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown on the night. He also played turnover-free football until the final play in OT. He added a game-high 105 rushing yards on 14 carries, including a touchdown.

Purdy got the Big Red rolling early by leading Nebraska to touchdowns on its first two drives of the game. The Huskers took the opening drive and covered 75 yards on six plays, highlighted by Purdy's 55-yard touchdown run to give Nebraska a 7-0 lead just 3:27 into the game.

The Blackshirts got off the field quickly and put the ball back in Purdy's hands. Six plays later, Purdy hit Jaylen Lloyd with a 58-yard touchdown strike to give Nebraska a 14-0 lead with six minutes left in the first quarter.

The defense got off the field again, and the Huskers took over at their own 11 for their third drive of the first quarter. The Big Red closed the first quarter on the move again, pushing the ball to the 33 for the start of the second period. Nebraska pushed the ball into Wisconsin territory and faced a 4th-and-1 at the Wisconsin 33. Johnson was stopped for a one-yard loss.

Wisconsin took the momentum from the stop and turned it into a sustained offensive drive that covered 66 yards in nine plays capped by Tanner Mordecai's 26-yard touchdown pass to Jackson Acker to cut the Nebraska lead in half at 14-7.

The Badgers notched a quick stop on Nebraska's ensuing drive and started with a short field after a 19-yard Husker punt. Nathaniel Vakos cut the Husker lead to 14-10 with his 35-yard field goal with 1:54 left to cap a six-play, 35-yard drive.

Purdy kept Nebraska moving on its final drive of the first half, marching the Huskers 51 yards to set up a 42-yard field goal attempt for Alvano on the final play of the half. But the kick missed wide left and the Big Red took the 14-10 lead to halftime.

While the Huskers moved the ball well in the first half, yards were tough to come by in the second half until the game-tying drive.

Wisconsin mounted more yardage after halftime, but managed just a two-yard touchdown run by Allen to cap a 10-play, 79-yard drive that took 4:31 and gave the Badgers a 17-14 lead with 7:47 left in the third quarter.

Mordecai led the Wisconsin offensive with 160 yards and a touchdown while completing 18-of-28 passes. The Badger quarterback also rushed nine times for 51 yards. Allen finished with 62 yards on 22 carries, including two touchdowns. Will Pauling led the Wisconsin receivers with eight receptions for 79 yards.

For the game, Nebraska outgained the Badgers 364-315.

Marques Buford Jr. led the Blackshirts with 10 tackles, including nine solos and 1.5 tackles for loss, while Isaac Gifford added eight stops.

kid reminds me a LOT of CJ Stroud ... fluid with a BIG, easy arm & great vision for the play

Wisconsin at Nebraska Game Preview and Prediction
by Pete Fiutak, CollegeFootballNews.com

Will Nebraska ever be bowl eligible?

It seemed like a done deal after a 5-1 start, but the offense went bye-bye on a four-game losing streak, and now the stress is off the charts that it's happening AGAIN. It's Nebraska -- it's supposed to be in the College Football Playoff hunt, and instead, no Power Four program is on a longer bowl drought.

2016.

That's the last time the Huskers were in a bowl. Lose, and it comes down to next week's trip to Iowa.

Wisconsin also needs this go get bowl eligible. It started 5-2, and then the schedule kicked in hard, the O collapsed, OC Phil Longer was relieved of his duties, and the team needs a win or it'll need to beat Minnesota to get to six wins.

WISCONSIN (5-5) at NEBRASKA (5-5)
Saturday, November 23 - 2:30 PM (CT) - Big Ten Network

Why Wisconsin Will Win
Alabama, Oregon, Penn State, USC and Iowa. The offense fell flat against the five great defenses on the slate, and was good against everyone else.

The team came up with over 300 yards in the five wins, fewer than 300 in the five losses, and now the O should be a bit more effective with a tweak in styles from the Longo era.

Those five teams the Badgers dealt with in the losses were also able to run. When the defense holds up and the quick passing game clicks from the start, the team rolls with a little positive momentum.

Nebraska needs to run well to win. It was able to slip past Rutgers, but it's 1-5 when it doesn't run for at least 130 yards. The Badgers are 4-0 when holding teams to under 130 yards on the ground.

Why Nebraska Will Win
Yeah, Wisconsin wins when it gets to 300 yards of total offense, but that's not a given.

The Huskers have kept six of the ten teams it played to 301 yards or fewer, and with everyone in the stadium jacked and the team pumped up on Senior Day, the D should come up with something special.

It's not just on the offensive side. The Badgers struggle and lose against anyone who can throw. Iowa ran wild in its win, but everyone else who beat UW came up with more than 200 yards through the air.

New Husker offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen got his feet wet last week in the USC game, but the O struggled. Expect QB Dylan Raiola to get hot with time to work against a Badger defense that doesn't get behind the line, but ..........

What Will Happen
...........there's pressure, mostly on the Nebraska side, to win-now-or-else.

Wisconsin will try to mix it up a bit offensively, but it'll stall way too often.

Nebraska will sputter and cough, and it'll have a few problems with field goals -- there will be a big miss early in the fourth quarter.

But the Huskers will come up with one last big stop leading to one gigantic moment for the Husker faithful.

Prediction
Nebraska 23, Wisconsin 20

Spread
Nebraska is favored at home by 2.5 points. The over/under is set at 42.5
