Deion had the right idea

[thall_]

They are they same team they were last year and when we played them early. USC and Ohio State don’t beat us by 3 TD’s, but sure CU would. Come on.

Bullshit, teams change as the season goes on.

You can pinpoint the exact moment that this Nebraska team started to falter.



From the preacher:

"How about instead of like, making it about them and talking to them, how about we just make it about us and play the best football we've ever played? So I don't wanna see that anymore, I don't want to disrespect them, I want to respect us."

Not only is this soft as babyshit, it's a total inability to read the room. These players were jacked coming into the locker room up big on a rival. They were motivated by the Colorado shit talk, and they played with moxie. It literally disappeared after Rhule's speech, we were held out the entire next half, and never played like that again.

I get that for middle-aged losers, its hard to understand what motivates younger generations, but telling them to stop leaning into what it is that's making them play with an edge is absolutely not it. Rhule lost the team after this speech.

Go ahead and google how Saban and Smart talk pregame/halftime if you want to see how a winner communicates.

Uh...
1 - Drelon Miller - Highly regarded Freshman WR who just had a breakout game against Utah. Compares favorably to a young LaViska Shenault. Has started at RB and WR for CU. Just figuring it out but will be a big-time player for CU.
2 - Omarion Miller - Sophomore WR, averages like 21.5 yards per catch. Big play WR who will no longer have to wait his turn. Injured on the season or would be having a big year.
3 - Cordale Russell - Freshman WR, former 4*/top 50 (ESPN/On3) who was injured early on and will miss the season. Supposed to be back in December but not expected to play this year. Has displayed big time talent in his short time on the practice field.

Those 3 are expected to be the best set of WRs we've had since Westbrook, Johnson, and Carruth were running all over the field in the 90's. The potential is there and not hard to attract the top rated QB when you have that on the roster. Had all 3 been healthy, they would have made a lot more noise this year.

Others:
Kam Mikell - Freshman, Highly rated WR that is redshirting this year.
Terrell Timmons - So., has played in place of Horn after his injury. Getting his feet wet. Time will tell.
Jordan Onovughe - Freshman, highly rated WR that plays sparingly this year.
Asaad Waseem - Freshman, hugely productive high school career. Special teams player this year.

Several highly rated recruits likely coming this cycle when signing day or whatever it is called now happens. I wasn't sure before, but after Juju's commit and their chatter on social media, I'm guessing they will sign (or send in financial aid papers or whatever they do now). I think WR will be the strongest position on the roster next year and maybe the strongest in the country when the dust settles. It will certainly be top 10 at a minimum.

Yeah I don’t think skill position players are going to be a problem for you as long as Deion is there. He clearly knows how to emphasize that part

Yep a bunch of untested players, good luck.

Nebraska lost to UCLA with a Head Coach with ZERO experience.

Foster made a good OC hire and has a pretty good roster leftover from Chip Kelly. How many times have coaches walked into a golden situation and then slowly caused it to go to crap? We won't know jack about Foster until about year 3 and after Bienemy finally takes a HC job.

 

[Scavenger]

Yep a bunch of untested players, good luck.

Oof, try again. D. Miller has played all year and was the best WR against the best defense in the Big 12. O. Miller has burned the likes of USC and KSU. They would be at the top of the heap of portal transfers if they entered. Russell, yes, untested. Not sure luck is the key. Depth is. 1 guy fails, go to the next stud in line. Works literally everywhere else.

 

[SLOHusker]

There's nothing really left to say. The program is a complete joke, the official big 10 twitter account taunts us, that's what the conference thinks of us. The entire thing...our program, our involvement in this conference, our place in the national scene is a complete and utter failure. It's a failure from top to bottom involving every single person in the AD. There is no way to fix it without a full purge of every single person. I mean the adults, the players, the janitorial staff, etc. Any person that could possibly speak to how things were (i.e. "we've never done it that way before") needs to be removed. There is no other way, the only person that can handle this is the head of the university system. It has to be done to save things, and it'll look bad but you have to cut the cancer out. It's metastatic to the rest of the AD and has to be stopped. We can't even get a little bias in volleyball commentary, which we've rightly earned. The football team has infected how the media treats other sports. People have no idea what's about to happen as the landscape gets rearranged to the big programs and everyone else goes D3. It will be a disaster for Nebraska and will destroy livelihoods around the state. This isn't an overstatement but the braintrust on here will act like it's crazy talk, it is not.

We are doing better with recruiting and player development than we have been in a long time. For two decades we sucked at one or the other or both. I'm also encouraged by the Holgerson hire and Rhule being willing to go find people that can make us better. Just blowing things up all the time is a sure way to never get anywhere. every new coach has to start from scratch unless they get lucky and inherit a stacked roster or they bring in a lot of guys from their old school.
Frost and Riley turned this program into a MAC school talent-wise. They weren't committed to building a solid program that could win in the Big 10. Sanders is going to have to discover whether he can win with roster rollover every year. We beat them partially because our guys were a cohesive team game two and they weren't.

 

[HuskerAlum92]

But he won’t be there

I felt that way for a long time. He will have options.

But if he can get to the CFP, get a new stud QB, reload and upgrade via portal even more effectively, and have an easy B12 path to ongoing CFPs, he could stick around and continue to grow his brand as he has. And more so.

 

[king_kong_]

But he won’t be there

there's a better chance of Deion being at CU next year than DR being here next year.

I'm of the opinion both will stay and continue to do well.

 

[st3f0]

How many times have coaches walked into a golden situation and then slowly caused it to go to crap?

Matt Rhule is a recent example.

I wouldn't call the post-frost Huskers a "golden situation"

$10 million, supposedly?

 

[HUSKERBILL]

Deion didn't develop his son, whom he's coached his entire life?

Travis Hunter was a ready-made Heisman favorite when he committed to Deion at the HBCU?

okay.

as for next year, that's a popular refrain. heard the same thing about them this year, too. we will see.

No Darrell Colbert has been Shadeurs coach for years. Like since he was younger. Deion doesn’t coach him on anything. That guy coaches a bunch of college and high school QBs.

Travis came off the bus being who he is. Deion playing him on offense is the ONLY thing that has made him a Heisman

Lmao apparently the goalpost moving to try to discredit Deion knows no bounds

 

[BTF69]

Indiana has played 7 of the 8 worst teams in the B1G

they've played 0 of the top 7 teams in the B1G

I hope the trouncing they're set to receive this weekend keeps them out of the playoff at 11-1

because it should

YES! So much THIS

Look, it was a fun story at 3-0 and 6-0...now it is stupid.

I hope they get one of those typical OSU beat downs that they have put on Indiana for 100 years.

 

[BTF69]

I mean, it is okay to give Sanders SOME credit. They are having a really good (and lucky) year. He treated CFB like the NFL and this year, it is working.

We do like to romanticize the "development" thing but really, if some other lame school can develop a kid for a 2-3 years first and then we can take him and he is good for NU, that is fine with me.

 

[big red22]

Have you seen Nebraska's schedule?

One of the easiest OOC schedules in the P4.

Yet we played 4 ranked teams?

2
5
16

Pretty sure that is not the easiest schedule in the P4... especially when Rutgers would be 8-2 in the Big 12

I knew it was bad but this speech doesn’t make me want to run through a wall for him but hug the wall and apologize for beating on it the first half. Now I understand why we can’t finish any games because Rhule doesn’t have a killer instinct and just wants his teams to be choir boys.

exactly.

he basically told his son "okay but don't be too mean 🥺" after kicking his bully's ass.

pathetic.

Nebraska's OOC schedule
2-8 UTEP

8-2 Colorado that would be 2-8 if they were in the Big Ten.
