F that, too much money to be mediocre. Yes, mediocre is way better than where we were, but really, who wants that again…almost losing to the “Jack Rabbits!” No…
reality is often the enemy to what i want as a football fan.
If Illinois goes toe to toe with PSU this weekend would your opinion change? I’m not ready to say who or what this team is based on one loss against an undefeated ranked team in OT.
My guess is that PSU pounds them pretty good. 14-21 points or so
You're just going to have to be patient. We're not going to get out of Scott Frost overnight. He really set back our program a lot. We're not as good as we'd like to be. If you want something that's sustainable you're going to have to be patient. It's not like Texas where they walk into a program with a bunch of five star talent.
Personally, I actually like of like the new offense at Indiana. I don’t necessarily have one preference but I have seen enough film on Satterfield here and at SCar to know his scheme is weak.
This is correct.
If you can't see that we're better than when we were under Frost I don't know what to tell you. At some point we got to give some guy chance to build a foundation. It looks like we have exactly the guy we need. It doesn't matter if Urban Meyer comes here. He's not going to be able to recruit enough to overcome what we already have here.
What if Indiana has a double digit win season in year one? What’s Nebraska’s excuse then?
The excuse is that Rhule takes 3 years. To me that ideology puts shackles on this program. They can win more this year but not if the team is caught up in Rhule’s historical performance. Go 5-7 or 6-6? Oh well it’s only his 2nd year.
This nonsense talk about how we are the same losers as under Frost and Riley is exhausting. You can hate on Rhule because of his Carolina days. You can hate on Rhule because he only won 5 games in 2023. You can hate on Rhule because he lost to Illinois at home on the 400th straight sellout game. You can hate on Rhule because we're not making it to Ohio State undefeated. You can be mad that White's defense did not shut down Illinois. But IMO, I feel that this team is better than last year. It was a close game. We could have won, but DR had that unfortunate INT. Got to give credit to that defender for coming down with that. Replay confirmed it. I wanted the refs to confirm that Neyor had possession and had his feet down. Unfortunate. Then the missed FG. And Raiola missed the open Lindenmeyer with the late pass. Then there was all the defensive penalties. Then on our possession in OT, there was the false start by Gottula. That changed everything. Illinois blitzed at exactly when they new we would pass. We were screwed after that. So, plenty of blame to go around. It was winnable. Give Illinois some credit. The biggest thing to me besides the missed FG and missed opportunities was our defense being on the field for long drives. That's on White.
Iowa has zero room to talk any shit on any program.
What you described is identical to the Frost and Riley years. Is this year’s team better? Probably but the result was the same! And that is the problem.
Replace “Frost” with “Riley” and we’re back to that tired talking point.
