Meh. We’re probably hitting the portal for next year’s starter unless they think our incoming freshman can beat out the upperclassmen.
Complete rebuild can't happen with Raiola coaching

If NU is going to succeed with Rhule's offense the QB will need to be a big guy like Frost, Frazier, Haarberg cause the smaller guys wont last
ho hum another 0.0 pass blocking grade for our LT
We need the whole package. Big strong athletic and a reasonably good passer. Do you think Haarberg can improve his passing efficiency enough to make us an 8 to 9 win team?
you're so pathetic
Haarberg is the guy. get used to it.
every time his name is called all everyone here thinks about is how colossally wrong you were & for some reason continue to be about him.
admit it. move on. cheer for the homegrown kid. it's an incredible story, and he will keep winning under Rhule, who loves him.
He’s a guard and should not be out at tackle, but at some point you’d think his pride would kick in and he might try.
At this point yeah. I would like to
See what he could do at guard. I like the effort from Jenkins and would like to see him get a shot
Those of us who are more seasoned remember when people wanted to run Charlie McBride out of town on a rail. Then we changed our defensive philosophy and recruited speed and he became a defensive genius.
Coaching definitely makes a difference, but all players have a ceiling. Unfortunately, I think our two tackles have hit theirs.

Is Knaak not good enough to beat out either of our tackles? You would think with the superior coaching he received at Utah last year, he'd be able to beat them out.
Yesterday, Corcoran whiffed so bad that the dude he was "blocking" hit Haarberg at full speed.
QBs get hurt and normally that hit results in a fumble.
Geezus you’re sick. I HAVE been cheering for the kid to succeed.
Haha and so it continues. Haarberg is a gamer sorry Dingle. Your wish of Haarberg not being the guy is not gonna happen
He's throwing better than I expected, but we all know, he needs a lot of work on the long ball. To be honest, in live action, his backpedalling and turn of foot is much better, much faster, than he had shown previously. He still tends to move that release point on similar type passes, so maybe in time he will get more consistent. I'm noticing a "slight" difference in HH's stance prior to the ball being snapped depending on if its a run or pass play. That stuff needs to be cleaned up pronto.
A bigger problem is the amount of times he's getting hit will continue to affect his throwing accuracy, especially as the game wears on while facing physical defenses.
Right now, HH makes NU much better on offense than Sims, even though NU's offense is very weak.
My wife asked me during the game, why the coaches call this option football when we never pitch the ball. I'm positive if my wife notices that, so do the DC's we're facing.
Corcoran was a borderline 5 star with offers from Georgia, Clemson, Ohio State, Michigan, LSU, Oklahoma, among others.
Bryce Benhart was a high 4 star with offers from Oklahoma, Michigan, Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Oregon.
Teddy Prochazka was a 4 star with offers from Michigan and Notre Dame. But he gets a lot of slack in my opinion though due to the severity of his injury, and he looked good during the brief time he played before the injury.
Tyler Knack had offers from multiple PAC schools including USC and spent a year at Utah, yet he somehow can't pass Corcoran or get more playing time?
Lutovsky was a 5.7 3 star that supposedly had an offer from Georgia.
A bunch of others like Piper were 3 stars. Which are more than serviceable, because it's not like the ~100 teams with better lines than us, are dealing with nothing but four and five star lineman across-the-board.
And I didn't even look up everyone, but I doubt the rest of the roster is comprised of no star walk-ons.
So either Nebraska's really good at recruiting busts, or the underlying issue is coaching.

It's early but I think the WR's coach needs to feel some heat. All the holding, dropping passes, not getting open doesn't look to good for him.
We are missing and not developing. I can't imagine being a backup to TC and not even getting a shot with how he plays.
While posting about portal QBs and shortcomings
Better get the maize and blue in the wash for this Saturday
Once again the "star ratings" buffoonery rears its head. Just watch the guys play. It's not hard. How long have you been watching football? Some of these guys literally pull up when they have the chance to pulverize someone in the open field. The others are just too awkwardly large and unathletic to do what they are asked.
Thank Scott Frost. I don't know how many times it has to be said.
In a few years if the OL is still this bad, then you can blame the OL, OC, head coach, whomever you want. Until then you'll have to do what Raiola and Rhule are doing at this very moment and that's playing the hand a generationally terrible head coach dealt them.
Objectively, our WR haven’t looked good.. though I am just thinking of our scheme and how it sucks balls and that might be a factor. But at this point I am not demanding any extensions for McGuire at this point.
To be a bit fair though, Betts and IGC were two of the older guys and now one is gone and the other injured.
Does seem the 6 true frosh WR aren’t stars to be, because we have no depth and yet none of them play or make plays.
Worrisome.
I wish that one freakin time we hit the coaching jackpot like other schools do
Maybe Corcoran just doesn't want to play football anymore, but I have no idea why they continue to trot him out there at tackle. With as bad as Benhardt was last year at least he has improved to the point where we only bitch 50% of the time instead of 100% like last year. Corcoran I think is actually getting worse at an exponential rate. At this point he is nearing Dylan Utter for the title of the all time worst Husker OL.
I came to that same conclusion the moment I learned who he was hiring as his OC.
That you don't think coaches are involved with the motivation of their players is quite frankly one of the dumbest takes I've heard on here. Talk about know nothing.
also, please keep the future in mind when calling for our OL coach's job:
(1 single offer reported - Nebraska)
All I know is the OL sucked in 2021. Rayola came in and we sucked worse in 2022… now another year has gone by and we still suck on the OL, and on O in general
If we keep the OC and this OL coach, we are heading for Frost 2.0
I’ll hold off this season on the comments, but if we look like this next year it’s no holds barred on what I’ll call Rhule

What you want to call Rhule means absolutely nothing. But if you itching to go on some kind of Rhule tirade. Good for you I guess
Actually I do think the interior looks better than last year. Corcoran is ****ing killing us, but there has been some opportunity straight up the gut. Piper is hot and cold. One minute he is killing it, the next he is getting dominated but sounds like both of his hands are broken. Benhardt is bad as well, but not near the level of bad he was last year.
Doesn't seem like you're holding off on the comments now.
I'm sure Rhule is pretty scared of the Jr. High banter you're gonna throw his way. Lofl.

Teddy is working into game shape, but Rhule has been pretty clear that he doesn't favor rushing kids back from major injuries.
No one gives a shit what you think.
No coach should care what I say on a board, they should want to do everything to win.
It’s a message board bro.. yeah you think youre
Witty… keep it up
I feel like you typed this while staring into the mirror.
I don't think our OL is terrible like many seem to think. We have QBs that cannot throw and minimal elite targets. We are #1 in rushing the conference right now. You can't have a sh*t OL and do that. Pass blocking we do seem to whiff and TC gets beat quite a bit. Not saying we are a good OL, but it's def not terrible.
I think Sat needs to do a better job of doing screens, quick PA passes to tight ends. Grant and our QBs can run well enough. Gotta find Kemp and Fidone a LOT more.

Frankly, for Rhule to be successful overall as a coach at NU, he is going to have to solve the abysmal OL talent evaluation/development dilemma that has plagued this program to varying degrees since TO and Tenopir retired. From the 70's through 2001, the program averaged nearly 1 All American O-lineman per year. Since TO's recruits exited the program in 2021, we have had zero, and we've only had 1 first-team all conference selection (Spencer Long) since joining the Big 10 in 2012.
It's too bad the coaches keep these lousy ass Olinemen in the game. They're all practice pillow warriors and then suck balls as soon as someone hits them in the mouth. Don't wanna wish for an injury but...
