hopefully we beat a top 25 team in the bowl
It would be nice to not sweat out the final 5:00 minutes and be ahead comfortably by the start of the fourth quarter..
I’m flattered you’re imagining things about me, but no.
You cherry picked his 3/4 of a year at Indiana as proof he is turning the program around quickly.
I mean without fumbeling, a real run game...the party was over after lp and green....been lameness since
Solich was as reliant on Crouch as Frost was with AM. You could make an argument with Pelini and TM somewhat too.
No I didn’t. I named dropped him because everywhere he’s gone he has immediately made the team better.
I don't want to harp on it...people are pass happy creatures now, but what I mean is something folks are unaware of any more..
And the only team Indiana has beat, that currently has a winning record, is Nebraska.
And the only team we've beaten with a winning record is Colorado.
True, but not really a relevant point. I think our record is a pretty good representation of where Nebraska is at as a program. Indiana is a hell of a story, but I'm not sure 8-0 and Top 10 is really where they're at as a program. But hey, as Parcells famously said, "you are what your record says you are."
Devaney went 9-2 his first year at Nebraska, which is about the equivalent of going 10-2 now.
DeBoer was 11-2 at Washington his first year.
That’s my only real concern with Rhule, did Nebraska hire an outdated commodity? You have to remember he left college in 2019 before the liberalization of the transfer portal and NIL. He’s used to bringing in his guys( both staff and HS players) and then by year 3 he has it rolling.
He has reached that point, but I doubt many coaches would choose a different path than Rhule when presented with his opportunities.
Time will tell if Cignetti can win without bringing along a bunch of transfers from his previous stop. Michigan St and Florida St sure made it look easy too. For one year. We’ll see if he’s really a genius or just a good coach with a big mouth.
Nebraska is 1-3 vs ranked teams. Indiana is 0-0. I don't care what they put up against Washington, they are not ranked nor do they have a winning record.
> “this soft Big 12 team we beat is a quality ranked opponent”
Cocker and Switzer both had established programs don’t remember how Boise was before Pedersen..
I believe they are also running fewer plays and the offense supporting the defense with how plays are called. Or at least that's what they are supposed to be doing (you know, none of this three pass plays and punt stuff). That's going to affect the stats a bit. I think Satt is somewhere in the average OC range-- he could be replaced by a better guy but he better be remarkably better. Otherwise, they would be foolishly giving their five star QB a new system to learn in the middle of his career and making the matter worse.
And Fleck is a decent coach. He's proven that much. How many times have we brought our four star, high school has beens up against him and his unheralded guys and gotten our butts beat?
I plan on putting some money on NU today. I get the line move though. We've been far too inconsistent to be laying that many points against a team with a decent amount of talent like UCLA.
