I agree that HH could have helped this team a lot this year, in a lot of situations too.. but the head coach and staff are a mile up the backside of the "star QB", as if he is the only thing to matter.. which is the same way Frost operated with AM. It's more than interesting that they are getting the same results.

Maybe if they treated the kid like a regular player, benched him where appropriate, we might have a lot more productivity and team unity as well.

We could all agree that he needs more touches in games but to say he would have made a difference in Wins and losses if he played all of a quarter is all speculation on your part..

Since Rhule kept Donovan I've been preaching that he needs three years with his own recruits, not what he inherited. Two glaring things about this year's Oline.....Dylan has a clean box most times to pass from, and run blocking sucks ballz. It's beyond embarrassing that NU, with its running tradition, can't open lanes better. That has to change, and soon.

would've helped if Uncle Donnie brought in a single recruit during his first year as our OL coach.

but, he didn't.

Bryce Benhart is a case in point. Veteran player. Been a starter for years. Coached by Raiola for 3 of those years. And then, like clockwork, he commits a false start penalty with the game on the line. The crowd was not that loud. He was used to his QB’s signal cadences. One fricking play left in a winnable game if we can all just execute properly, and he goes brain dead and false starts. And that one penalty now limits your potential play call. Down in the red zone there is a world of difference contained in those five yards. I knew at that moment the next play would fail.

That is coaching when it happens over and over and over. And name one player who has really improved and flourished under Raiola’s coaching.

just a couple weeks ago, Rhule said he'd never chase a player from the roster and that guys who play here "are treated so well."

couple that with the lack of accountability and it's no wonder nobody wants to leave:



PS - the replies to this tweet are something to behold. Husker Nation hasn't "logged out", we are fed up.

It’s not our O line coach. It’s been our offensive scheme, play caller and our QB. IF you want to see our O line improve replace our QB with one who is a run threat. It’s a huge handicap for our O line when a defense doesn’t have to worry about our QB burning them with his feet. A strict drop back immobile QB doesn’t work in the NFL anymore either. They get destroyed.

We had three QB's last year that were run threats. This OL looked even worse last year.

Hardly a shock considering the state of a program he had just joined.

I've come to accept the fact that every team is lucky against Nebraska. Guess we'll see if Rhule's 3rd year success can overcome this never-ending curse. I don't see another win this year. Here's to another entertaining basketball season!

Yeah that didn't last long. St Mary's? Are you kidding me?? Man that was a frustrating game to listen to

The O line wasn’t worse last year because the QBs were run threats. The O line is better. A QB who is a run threat would help them even more. We’re protecting the ball way better on offense. Why are we not producing more on offense? Answer: even though our QB is protecting the ball, he’s not finding open receivers and he isn’t moving the chains with his feet. Dylan didn’t find open guys who would have scored TWICE against USC. I’m not a Haarberg fan boy, but I want to see what he can do with a couple of series cuz Dylan isn’t getting it done.

 

[dinglefritz]

Put HH in? Why? So we can turn it over?

You’re basing that on his last year’s performance and even though I’m no Haarberg fan boy, I’m don’t think that’s fair. I believe our O line is better and I liked what he did on that drive where Raiola was out. That iNT was maybe a forced pass but that was kind of what he had to do given the situation. My seats were behind him 16 rows up directly behind him and in line with where he threw it. He looked good. Poised. Confident. Decisive. He got a couple of first downs with his feet when nothing was there.

Why does the defense get a pass? Their third down defense has been abysmal and it’s been that way for some time now even under chinander

 

[NikkiSixx]

AND!

not sure if you want me to reply with "No more and (then), No more and (then)" or if you are giving me the acronym for Ass Needs Dick.. in either case, I don't follow your context here..

The defense under-performed in all of our losses except Ohio State. And even in that game, they wilted at the end and gave up a touchdown as soon as we took the lead in the fourth quarter. Just like in many of our losses last year. Tony White is over-rated.

Gifford’s blown assignment on that zone option play was a backbreaker against OSU.

Gifford’s blown assignment on most plays was a backbreaker against just about everyone….
